People passing out on thrill rides. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax-aCUyIkZ0 This poor guy passes out twice, but handles it like a champ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M_XeCnNx1s I was in tears just watching the guy's face. The way his (boy?)friend consoles him was kind of cute too.

This is pretty mild on the schadenfreude scale, but it's hilarious watching the president of Domino's Pizza squirm as he stumbles through a painfully anime commercial. "I knew our talented Domino's Pizza Crew could work together and create great Vocaloid... songs."

AFewBricksShy posted:Kevin Trudeau has made millions of dollars by promoting a bunch of bullshit about "The stuff they don't want you to know". The Federal Trade commission has come down on him for how he markets his bullshit, and he decided not to pay a 37 million dollar fine that was levied against him, actively trying to hide his assets so he can pretend that he's broke. Come on guys,based on what we know of him, every single one of his products has been proven to help people. Every one of them. There's no doubt and to claim other is to discredit the man after his lifetime of scientific research. Seriously, pay attention - his next book "How To Break Out Of Prison In 10 Easy Steps THEY Don't Want You To Know" will certainly be a bestseller after he gets shivved by prisoners who tried his other programs and realized they got fleeced by the most outstanding example of walking human poo poo outside of Andrew Wakefield. Death sells, people. Death sells.

Sad lions posted:What is this anyway? Is it a panic response or some blood flow thing (both?)? Some people just black out when they panic - it's like the people who faint at the sight of blood, their blood pressure suddenly crashes and they just drop. I've seen people do it riding a horse because they panicked, got scared and dropped. No injuries thankfully, but the horse was pretty confused.

I nearly passed out a couple of weeks ago when I put my hand through a plate glass door. Didn't slice up my hand very much at all, but while I was rinsing the cuts and picking out glass slivers with tweezers, suddenly I got a chill and was very light-headed for a minute or so. Actually, the whole thing would have been perfect for this thread. I slipped on a wet moss-covered paving stone like a goddamn idiot and tried to stop my fall by pushing off against the door. The goddamn plate glass door.

Didn't slice up my hand very much at all, but while I was rinsing the cuts and picking out glass slivers with tweezers, suddenly I got a chill and was very light-headed for a minute or so. I pass out if I lose any appreciable amount of blood from a cut. Strangely, nosebleeds don't seem to have this effect on me at all. I once cut halfway into the nail of my pinkie finger trimming cauliflower when I was working in a grocery store, I wrapped it in my apron and went to the designated first aid certified person (behind the deli counter). She told me to run it under cold water. When I took it out from my apron there were these tiny little squirts of blood coming out, and I told her that I was probably going to faint, but she insisted on running it under the water. I felt myself blacking out and I said "I'm fainting now. I'm fainting." I woke up on the floor with a concussion from falling on my head on cement, but no longer feeling faint at all. Then two other employees insisted on supporting me at both arms all the way to the breakroom. Thanks for listening to me and not doing anything until after the fact, grocery store employees! At least I got a free 2L thing of juice and the rest of the day off with pay. Go unions.

Sad lions posted:What is this anyway? Is it a panic response or some blood flow thing (both?)? If you have something like positional hypotension it can be pretty easy to pass out on sudden shifts like that, could even be completely unrelated to panic. I have it and just standing up quick can make me dizzy for a few seconds. I'm sort of wary of going on thrill rides for that reason, even though I loved them growing up.

Those guys in particular seem super scared of the whole thing (though the first one tries so drat hard to hide it). Honestly, I hope theres never a time of actual danger for themselves or anyone around them because... welp, down they go. So weird watching it in action, though. I had no idea people could just conk out like that while someone else in the same position is completely fine.

A nasty picture of a car accident is worse than an actual car accident. If you're involved in the poo poo, your stress levels and heart rate or whatever can counteract the blood pressure drop, or at least that's what it feels like.

I saw this one a while back too and I think Scott there must have had some kind of direction on cadence and tone for that commercial because the delivery is just not natural for an English speaker - especially in the first half. There are parts of it, more towards the end, where he sounds like he may be just as glad this won't be shown in the US.

Listening to somebody tell a story of a surgery they had can knock me out, but I can be bleeding profusely and be okay. Of course, sometimes it seems completely random. Last time I passed out I was standing at a urinal in the public bathroom of a waterpark. Not the best experience, but certainly an entertaining story to tell.

If you're involved in the poo poo, your stress levels and heart rate or whatever can counteract the blood pressure drop, or at least that's what it feels like. This is absolutely true, at least for me. I've only been in danger in fleeting moments that come and go in the blink of an eye(car accidents). When that happens my heart rate jumps but other than that I'm not really affected. On the other hand, if I hadn't been sitting in a comfortable chair during The Grey, I may have passed out during the scene towards the beginning where a guy slowly bleeds out while his friends watch. Maybe its the time that distance allows you to think about whats happening and how horrible it is, when its happening to you there's no time to think.

I get that sometimes things go wrong but most of the time it looks like these guys don't even know what they're doing, and the result is that they get hurt and embarrassed. Like the coconut guy, surely he didn't think he could really chop all those coconuts with his hand? Did he successfully chop coconuts before and this is an off day? Why would somebody who can't do that tell everybody they can do it and then film themselves trying and failing? I just don't get it.

An inflated sense of skill and power is the quintessence of Bullshido. I used to take a martial art back in high school that claimed that it was the only art to allow you to use the full strength of your body in your techniques, and that its brand-new black belts were capable of taking down Kung Fu red belts before the Kung Fu guy could even get into stance. One of its nearby competitors runs a tournament where staff-flipping with no actual attack or defense maneuvers, or "katas" that involve nothing more than changing stances while screaming are considered the pinnacle of martial arts prowess. And these people think they've become hardened warriors who can whip the rear end of anyone who looks at them funny. Kugyou no Tenshi has a new favorite as of 23:47 on Nov 15, 2013 |

They just assume "I did the training, I'm now awesome, watch me break cinder blocks"? Do they really think life is a cartoon? And do they try again afterwards or do they knock some sense into themselves?

They'd be right, if they didn't so woefully overestimate the value of "1". "I can break boards, so next I'll break a car" kind of stuff. And they tend to seem to like knocking the sense out of themselves more, to the point where their failures are blamed on other people - "you're not holding it right", "you interfered with my chi", "you didn't believe in my ability to knock you over with my magical lifeforce magic, and that's cheating", stuff like that. I literally got bitched out for complaining about a martial arts instructor doing a katana demo in which he violated several cardinal rules (including "never cut toward your front leg" and "never drop your eyes/head on the cut") which are safety measures, not mystical warrior crap. I was told that I obviously didn't understand his "style", that it was too advanced for me if I thought he was doing something dangerous, and that his form was a perfect reconstruction of real Japanese swordsmanship, as opposed to whatever lovely fake Americanized school I was learning from. This guy was my teacher's teacher. It's tribalism, magical thinking, and just a little bit of being too stupid to know otherwise. Which is why it's just so satisfying to watch them gently caress up so horribly. \/\/\/: That's the one I meant by the bit about the lifeforce magic. Thanks!

Here's how to break boards: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2613/how-do-martial-artists-break-boards-and-bricks-using-only-their-bare-hands It's a great deal of careful setup. I think this has been shown in this thread before, but here's a guy who can stop punches WITH THE POWER OF HIS MIND. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEDaCIDvj6I He gets totally rocked when someone doesn't play pretend and actually punches him in the face. 5 or 6 times.
