Sentient Data posted:That's unironically why I'd be willing to skydive but not bungee. I'd rather risk death than risk a life ruining maiming Oh man. I matched with a woman on tinder years ago who was recovering from a skydiving accident. Apparently her instructor or whatever had a heart attack or something and basically died during their jump and his body cushioned her fall enough that she survived. Some bruises and poo poo. I guess emergency/reserve chutes can open automatically these days.

I guess emergency/reserve chutes can open automatically these days. It's called a CYPRES AAD, or automatic activation device. They've been around for decades now, and are quite common - I'd be surprised if there were any tandem masters that didn't use one. They are designed to open your parachute automatically if you hit a certain altitude while still falling at a certain rate of speed.

Mr. Nice! posted:Looks like a mechanical failure of some sort. The anchor is the only thing that stopped them from hitting the pier. Those anchors don't do poo poo to brake a moving freighter. You can see the ship rise out of the water as it hits the ground. Agreed on mechanical failure of some sort, though.

It's hard to tell how fast it's actually going, but if it's going like 10 knots (about 5 meters per second), it will only be able to raise up about 1.3 meter based on its energy. It's got a lot of momentum but it also takes a lot of energy to raise the ship up.

So I just read in the news about some dude who went super deep into a cave and then because so violently ill he might die and there is currently a rescue attempt underway. And no one is worried he might be super infectious?

So, although this dude's wearing a lab coat... this does not strike me as particularly OSHA approved. https://reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/T4SJQPFbRJ

LOL the comments claiming they cleaned that mess up, it would take days to find all the pieces from that safe/bottle. Also the comments saying gently caress the wildlife in area, these guys make lots of $$$ doing stupid poo poo, it's awesome!
