It was stuck through one of the portholes for the men to shoot out and they sideswiped a tree.

So just saw this on my walk back from lunch. Couldn't get any too detailed pics because the guy was pulling out just as I was walking past, but:   Granted I'm not an expert on how to properly tie down a load to a flatbed, but I feel like there should be more securing this than a single bungee cable over the top?

Submarine Sandpaper posted:Didn't they do this to dogs too? They tried training dogs to run under German tanks with explosives, but they had a lot of problems. They were exclusively trained on stationary tanks, so they wouldn't run under moving ones. A lot of them got scared, ran back into the trenches, and blew up. They also ran toward Soviet tanks with the more familiar diesel smell! The "Soviets used massive human wave attacks and blocking detachments" thing is pop history distortion. Human waves were an early misstep by inexperienced commanders who didn't know how to fight the invading Germans appropriately, and that practice ended shortly after. Blocking detachments ceased official use in 1942 and were disbanded completely in 1944, and they just arrested soldiers who retreated or deserted. The image of them setting up machine guns to kill everyone running is fiction.

I wouldn't do it exactly like that but it's probably fine for city streets.

It's always amusing when a vehicle starts rolling because someone hasn't set the brakes properly, they panic and try to stop it, and then after it does stop they still don't bother to properly set the brakes.

At least he found the brake and didn't pull the "oh poo poo, I hit the wrong pedal" then gave it some gas.

A guy at a place i worked had something like that happen and was only stopped from jumping in front of the truck by his trainer physically grabbing him. Smashed right into the clients building, which is bad, but a whole lot less bad than someone getting squashed.

Jabor posted:It's always amusing when a vehicle starts rolling because someone hasn't set the brakes properly, they panic and try to stop it, and then after it does stop they still don't bother to properly set the brakes. Not exactly the same, but a number of years ago I brought in my car for a faulty MAF and somehow when fixing this the mechanic hosed up the route of my fuel line. Car drove fine at first but the gas pedal felt kind of sticky, figured I'd bring it back in the next day to ask about it. Pull out of my driveway the next day, and once I hit the accelerator to go down the street, I just get locked into max acceleration. No matter what position I put the gas pedal at the car is just flooring it. I spent maybe a full ~45 seconds with the break slammed down, slowly inching forward, panicking about stopping the thing before I ran out of street and into somebody's house. Finally something in my brain clicked and I threw it into park and turned it off, which I could have done from the start. But when something like that happens you freeze up and rational decision making goes out the window for a bit. It was a weird period of feeling completely helpless and terrified even though the solution is insultingly easy. I assume this is the same thought paralysis that kicks in when people's vehicles start to run away and they try to grab on/run in front of it instead of just jumping straight into the drivers seat and slamming the parking break.

Once I was driving a forklift, of the type you stand up in, and it slipped on some condensation on the concrete in the cooler I was working in. As it slipped into the rack I put my foot out to stop it and had it crushed. It felt like my boot was a puddle of blood, but luckily it was just swollen and a few days later I was back at work like the dumb 18 year old I was. You just react in dumb ways some times.

I definitely kick my foot out to break the fall of anything I drop. So far I've always managed to get the flat side of the knife, but did break a toe saving a can of stewed tomatoes

Watermelon Daiquiri posted:Do these people also try to catch knives they drop, either by hand or foot? I did this almost exactly 1 year ago. You know that area between your thumb and pointer finger? Yeah, the knife went all the way down through that until it hit bone at the base of my thumb. Thumb was just hanging there. Cut the muscle there in half, severed a nerve, severed an artery, cut a tendon, and butchered half my hand nearly off. I still have no feeling in that thumb but at least it moves again after a bunch of surgery and therapy. Don't catch falling knives. e:  https://i.imgur.com/pWusdSS.jpg Doesn't look THAT bad, initially. But if I turn my hand around, the wound goes about that far down on the other side of the hand as well. It wasn't a surface cut. Pretty much draw a line from the skin at the base of my thumb down through to the middle of my hand, there. All the way through. Not just on the palm side. Like if you were trying to cut a leg off of a roast chicken or something. I'm just lucky that bone stopped it from going further.

I developed a similar skill of kicking my foot under a falling toddler's head to keep it from hitting the floor. I did this unconsciously at a concert when a crowd surfer was almost dropped on his head in front of me.

My instincts always to jump back. Do that: jump back. Safety first you can always clean up the stewed tomatoes.
