I'm sincerely curious, why? Dude had a gun literally pointed at his chest. If there's any reason to start throwing your mass around, it's that.

For the same reason loss prevention at big box stores aren't (in most places) actually allowed to stop thieves; if you do anything that could get the company in legal hot water for any reason, self defense or no, that's a firin'. 'Murica!

Being a bouncer and being big box loss prevention are worlds apart in terms of what you can get away with/expected to do.

Once shot a man in Reno.
I train at a place with guys that work security so i've talked about that kind of stuff a bit with them and there is no way that guy would get fired for tackling a dude that was one foot away from him and was in the process of pointing a gun towards customers.

Yeah I think the gun fires. Right when it looks like it does, the third dude in the gif just dips the gently caress out as if a shot had been fired.

Yup

quote:

The guy in the video is Colin Winkleman, a professional BMX rider who once set a Guinness World Record by jumping over 13 Ford Explorers on a bike. In 2004, fellow rider/daredevil Travis Pastrana apparently held a contest at his house to see who could film the craziest jump. Colin's attempt was to ride up a ramp attached to the front of a van that was moving toward him. He hit the ramp too fast and ended up falling nearly 20 feet on to the pavement.

Even at the time it probably seemed like a comically stupid failed stunt, but what no one would know—including Michelle Beadle and Marcellus Wiley or most of the YouTube viewers who have passed the clip around—is that the crash would destroy Winkleman's life. He reportedly broke and dislocated both his ankles, broke his wrist, one of his lower legs, and cracked a vertebra in his neck. After a year of rehabilitation, he was still unable to ride competively or even walk without a limp. The resulting depression over the loss of his craft apparently led Winkleman to commit suicide in August 2005.

Also he’s a bouncer at night club so posh it doesn’t have a front door. No one cares about risk or lawsuits. He probably lets in as many lot lizards as Malachite_Dragon.

I just wanted to say that I've slowly read this thread over the last few months, and have just barely reached the 9th of november, when Trump was voted president.

I am not in any way a trump supporter, I don't even live in america, but the utter smugness of this thread about Trump leading up to his election was a joy to read, knowing what happened.

The biggest schadenfreude I got came from the schadenfreude thread itself, so I thank you all.

It's really obvious here that you've never been a bouncer cause It's nothing like loss prevention/lot guarding. Someone at some point is going to do something stupid or violent because you're mixing stupid people and alcohol, the fact that you'll have to intervene on that is literally why you have the job at all.

Focusing on the video for a bit, a lot of schaden here: Colin's last name is misspelled, he openly talks about dropping out of school and specifically notes that he flunked physics. Which must be the greatest ad for staying in school ever created.

But seriously, didn't he think that maybe he would want to replace the ramp on the front of the van? That thing is steep: by the time you're popped into the air the van would be down the street and you would need some way down. That's not even daring, that's just asking for misery. Which apparently he got by the bucketload, unfortunately.

Pangs of shame aren't normally localized to the right ankle, what's the deal with the pitcher in this one?

Serious answer: Jason Marquis had been hit in the leg by a ball in play in the previous inning, and the stress of continuing to pitch turned it into a fracture. He was out for the rest of the season.

You jump straight up because the platform underneath you is also moving forward.

You also need to be going fast enough to clear the obstacle which this person definitely was not doing.
