Griz posted:falling in a sitting position is a lot more painful than you'd expect, especially if you can't get your arms out quick enough to absorb some of your weight. I got knocked down like that in gym class, it hurt really bad for like a week and you can't do anything about it except take painkillers and sit on one of those donut pillows for people with butt problems. Fell off a barstool in St Thomas. Can confirm, hemorrhoids suck.

Oh yeah, you're right. Last time i watched that video it was from a couple angles and I was sure he was pancaked, but that second falling wall is just the camera moving. Cool, dude's alive!

Points for being barefoot but he's a pussy for putting the beer down and having a friend help. I pop tops all day with my McCulloch; beer in one hand chainsaw in the other. Protip: move the beer to the chain, not the other way around.

These people are such horrible people that they care more about some record or their stupid hobby than their loved ones. They completely deserve their fate, if only it didn't affect their loved ones. Edit: Also as a goon I wonder what the market would be for 4K cameras attached to those of us who will more than likely die unloved and unremembered. Youtube will be gripped by following my hi def death tape as I drag my carcass toward one last soylent shake before I go silent and several cats dig into my fatty body before themselves going silent as no more nutrition is to be found in my small apartment. 7of7 fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Jan 23, 2016 |

I personally don't really care about pictures of the galaxy so as far as i'm concerned the blood of twenty astronauts is on the hubble's robotic hands.

I am quite happy to harp on Dave Shaw's stupid dive: He died, trying to recover a body that was at rest at a depth/conditions that made recovery stupidly dangerous. He made his wife a widow and his two children fatherless with this foolhardy attempt that anyone with even the most basic of experience could have told you was almost guaranteed to fail.

spog posted:I am quite happy to harp on Dave Shaw's stupid dive: Why haven't divers come up with something better than a slate or string tug to communicate yet anyway? His problem was that at that depth he couldn't think clearly, so stuck to the plan of trying to stuff the body in the bag instead of just floating it up as is. At that depth lots of stuff will fail but apparently his camera was fine, the camera just had no way to talk to the surface and people at the surface had no way to talk to him. I get that there is no wifi down there, but if they are running lines anyway why not a communication line?

It was 2005, which doesn't seem that far off, but they barely had Dive Computers that could dive deep, they were on the bleeding edge of that type of diving. That tech just wasn't around yet.

Yeah, US road safety is amazingly poo poo, you're up there with countries like Bangladesh, Lithuania, Romania and Uzbekistan with deaths per 100,000.

They did use one, at great expense I believe, to do a search after Deon died, but all they found was the dive helmet. ROVs certainly were a thing, but you're acting like these guys were foolhardy. I guess in a way they were foolish, but they were also the top of the top divers in the world at deep caves, and did a lot of planning. Their flaw was simply wanting to do it, everything else was meticulously planned, they had standby's on site, etc.
