Edit- That looks like a fake ripoff of the Closetmaid shelf support. In the real one, the anchor goes behind the bracket and the nail through the bracket into the anchor. It doesn't take much pressure and you don't want to be hitting drywall with a hammer full force.

That spark plug ceramic trick only works on the side windows of the car, which are tempered in a specific way that makes them explode when the glass is compromised. Windshield glass in contrast is laminated so that it stays intact when damaged, since it would be bad to have your windshield explode into fragments when a stone nicks it on the highway. Aircraft canopies these days are not glass at all; they're blow-formed polycarbonate or acrylic, which are plastics that crack when damaged rather than breaking into shards.

Anyway I think your idea that enemy fire only makes small holes in the canopy is mistaken. Yes that was possibly true in world war II when canopies were laminated glass and the fire was mostly .50 caliber or smaller bullets. Today anti-aircraft guns are minimally 20 mm cannons firing high explosive shells and they will wreck the poo poo out of any glass or plastic.

I started looking it up and found out about Through-Canopy Ejection Seats, which feels like the most OSHA ejection seat possible.

"Through-Canopy Penetration is similar to Canopy Destruct, but a sharp spike on the top of the seat, known as the "shell tooth", strikes the underside of the canopy and shatters it."



Evilreaver posted:

So now I'm thinking "what if the part of the canopy that gets spiked has already been shot out, does the pilot just get crammed into the unbroken canopy?" It would be a one in a million shot, but this is the OSHA thread, those odds happen sometimes.

Then I'm thinking, enemy fire makes smallish holes in canopies, it doesn't shatter them, but the shell tooth does, presumably on that 'spark plug ceramic breaks car glass' magic trick. So now I'm thinking, would it make sense to have bullets tipped with that ceramic, with the idea that any hit that hits the canopy anywhere explodes the whole thing? I can't imagine it would reduce the effectiveness of the bullet hitting other parts of a plane much.

I've been playing too much War Thunder I guess, all fighter combat is missiles nowadays anyway

I am almost certain the F-35 had this type of system and there were recorded failures in testing where the dummy would just get slammed into the canopy, yes.

If that's the incident I'm thinking about it was a horrific osha gently caress up all right. Lots of thing meant to prevent people on the ground from looking like targets were ignored and no one talked to each other. Student pilot was the guy who made the gun run while the instructor failed to provide good guidance, I can't imagine being in the student's shoes.

Since Mt. St. Helens was brought up, Emeritus USGS geologist Cynthia Bacon lost both of her arms after being mauled by an Alaskan black bear. Can't copy paste the chapter but it's worth a read.

She had been dropped by helicopter in a remote region in the Yukon wilderness and was charting the area when she encountered the bear. It was standing about 10 feet away. Black bears don't normally attack humans Dusel-Bacon. then 30. now 31. tapped on a rock with a

hammer, hoping to frighten the animal away. She was unsuccessful The bear stood its ground. So Dusel-Bacon turned to walk away, hoping to put a little distance between herself and the black bear The bear charged, knocking her down. Dusel-Bacon, who had a pack and walkie-talkie, lay face down and shielded her neck with her arms, hoping to minimize the impact of the bear's attack. Her tactic was partially successful The bear clawed and mauled her. dragging her down a hill, and breaking open her pack But the injuries were confined to her arms and hands

Was it turning her back on the bear the that triggered the attack?

A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous—got me?
There's an article featured on the front page of Wikipedia about a plane crash I'd never heard of before, Aeroflot Flight 593 in1994. The relief pilot let his children take turns in the pilot's seat and the older one managed to apply enough force to the control column to disengage the autopilot; the resulting 90° bank made it hard for them to regain control of the aircraft. The inquiry concluded that the autopilot would have re-engaged and saved the plane if they had kept their hands off the controls.

crazy part is also that they managed to right the plane, but it was over corrected for and went into a stall, which they managed to recover from again, but at that point they were far too low and crashed into the mountain.

i think so. iirc the rule of thumb with black bears is to try to face them off if you can't calmly walk away, since they're smaller and more timid. black bears are almost like large dogs, they're more curious than anything and if they're scared or see you as easy prey you may be in trouble. the forest service recommends fighting black bears if reasonable, non-panicked escape is not possible - you can fight a black bear to the point that it will back off. if you run, it will chase you

with brown and grizzly bears, play dead and hope the bear loses interest. then run for your life when you can. if you run, the bear will catch and kill you if it wants to. fight the bear if you have to, understanding that you're probably already dead and resistance is a chance for a miracle
