Quoting from the GBS OSHA.jpg thread as they had this exact discussion about the video.:

Arrath posted:

I highly doubt they put that up themselves. It's probably a relic of some industrial site or a valley spanning tram line or radio antenna or who the hell knows, its Russia. But to run a cable like that popular methods include: Tying that bitch to a rocket and shooting it across as well as the much less metal "hook it to a helicopter and fly it over" and more mundane ways like "cut a path along the valley floor, pull the cable then tighten it"

Platystemon posted:

The trick is that you don’t start with the heavy cable. You run a much lighter line first and once it’s in place, you can attach the heavy cable to one end and pull it across. These days the initial run can sometimes be done with remote‐controlled helicopters. For the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge, they used a kite. The Sidu River Bridge used rockets.

I agree with the others that the cable was not installed for hobbyists, though.

Chances aren't great for the runaway/seizure at the end either. Looks like something solid was at the end.

Car Crashes Time seems to put at least one in every video. I don't recall ever seeing gore but there are quite a few head on crashes that are certainly and immediately fatal.

Err... it wouldn't exactly be a hit-and-run if the driver stayed at the scene now would it? Quality Reporting Scootyfruit within the article there.

Seems to me that it's not really schadenfreude because the article states they're going to be more than likely giving the money to charity. I would assume that the people who paid the 5$ were probably more than aware of this considering they clicked the box. It's just a funny charity drive at that point.

They announced what they were doing with the money. Giving it to themselves.

They even have breakdowns of what each person bought with their portion of the money.

Most of them gave at least of what they got to various charities anyways. http://cardsagainsthumanity.com/blackfriday/

Back in the day, when a video report wasn't done with the editing process by the time the evening news was broadcast, they would read a summary and inform the viewers that the film would be ready in time for the 11 o'clock news.
They would say, for instance: "Goons derail about the dumbest poo poo yet again, film at 11."

I distinctly remember that the kids would be going 30mph at the end of the zipline, and the goon thought padding the tree would stop them safely.

You built a death-ride, Congratulations.
Speeds of 44-60mph, are you loving kidding me? You do not "tone that down" you tear it down. Any other option is inviting yourself to lawsuit hell.

Its a great looking platform, too bad it was designed for "murder speed".

You do not implement a modification to something that can kill to make it "Now its usable!". You start from the get-go to design something that "Under 99.9% cases, this should be pretty drat safe". You simply do not re-tool bad designs "to make it work" when lives are at stake. For the children for christ-sakes.
