The paper is from 2005. The gap between it and current state of the art is even bigger, just in the other direction.

No they do, almost always, but the ABS system can disengage the brakes as it wants since it controls separate valves for each brake (that's how it works). Some early ones are known to go nuts under certain rain/snow conditions and fully disable the brakes.

My friend had a Chevy Lumina that would totally disengage the brakes on snow or ice. He'd glide through intersections without any braking power at all. It was absurd. You couldn't pump the brakes at all. The new ones are better but the old ones were a disaster. I was riding with him once and he rolled through 2 intersections without any brakes. It was an automatic so no good engine braking.

I'm old enough to have learned to drive in cars that didn't have antilock breaks and I can say that before those things became standard, stop signs in during winter storms were more like gentle suggestions. There was a certain kind of weather where you pretty much had to treat any intersection as a four way stop because even if you had the right of way, you couldn't trust the other person to actually stop at the stop sign. Kids these days don't know how good they have it!

Not only that but the number one way to get stuck in snow here if they haven't plowed or salted yet is to actually stop at an intersection. Once you stop, nothing you can do is gonna get you moving again.

Wikipedia says 22lb/foot and the one in that video is at least 7 or 8 feet long so well over 150lbs. That guy won't have a collarbone left by the time the job's done.

I'd say this is about right. Just weighed a foot or so of steel with a taller web we have in the office and it weighs 31lbs and it has holes and stuff cut out of it.

He does keep a fire extinguisher under his table, as seen when he pulled it out after causing a frozen gasoline explosion and then proceeded to put it back and just pat the fire out with gloves and rags.

Well, it might make sense if it is a powder-based extinguisher because then the place would need to be decontaminated afterwards (as I understand it). Of course, in that case he could get a supplementary CO2-based extinguisher as well, or at least a fire blanket.

I haven't cut a rail before, but I have used a cutting torch and worked with springy metal, so I'm basically an expert

anyway it would probably be pretty obvious that the rail was under tension (they don't normally sit up off the ground), and I think that the guy recognized that, which is why he's standing away from the cut and holding the torch as far back as he can. He clearly didn't expect it to spring up so quickly and forcefully, and you probably can't really tell that's going to happen until you've experienced it.

I've seen this here before, of course, but this time I had to frame-by-frame the gif to make sure it wasn't the guy's head that goes flying off. (It's just his welding-mask-like protective headgear being knocked off.)
I didn't think the impact looked severe enough to take off his head but then again you see some hosed up injuries in this thread.

That poo poo was fun. I used to make smoke bombs off of sugar, it was great for 13-year old me. Too bad I ruined a set of expensive pans to do it, had to work off that criminal mischief doing chores. This is my OSHA story.
