From the schadenfreude thread, one of the most hair raising videos I've ever seen.

No violence, no death or serious injury, but it took my breath away.

No serious injury unless you count my heart exploding from the stress of imagining doing that.

Dude axed a hole through the cockpit windshield despite a dislocated shoulder and managed to return to flying duty. :unsmith:

quote:

While he was being rescued, Warmerdam said to fire chief Steve Chadwick, "Tell my wife, Amy, that I love her." Chadwick replied, "No sir, you tell her that you love her, because I'm getting you out of here." The emergency crews successfully pulled Warmerdam out of the aircraft ... Despite his injuries, Warmerdam survived the plane crash.

Hot drat, this is like seeing the stinger at the end of a movie for the first time.

Slow Mo Guys is basically "safety? what's that?", which is great.

Here's one where Dan almost loses fingat by failing to drop a firecracker from his hand and into a glass jar of paint.

Here's another where he fumbles a pan of burning oil all over himself because a bee scared him.

He was getting out of the way of the excavator's shovel because it would've hit him where he was originally standing, but Mak0rz's idea paints a better picture.

The pump handle is probably blocking light from getting to the hole, so she in her infinite wisdom figured that the best way to check if the gas was nearing the top was to use her lighter as a light source. Instead of like, her cell phone. Or checking the meter. Or just waiting for the pump to shut itself off as all gas pumps do when the tank is full by design.

Obvious the dumpster is just stuck there and the operator is checking out the forums waiting for the boss, but drat if that isn't the impression that he's gonna get crushed.

I mean even so, standing directly where it would fall and splat you is possibly tempting fate a little.

They're horirble people because they, what? They died doing something that was really meaningful to them?

The thing they died doing that was really meaningful to them is so incredibly dangerous that the corpses of other people who died trying it are immovable because people don't want to also die trying to retrieve their frozen bodies that have been laying there for dozens of years. Personal significance doesn't exempt you from being a dumbass.

Do extreme sports fans actually die younger than average? I mean, they tend to be very fit as well as cool, attractive and popular. Maybe the selfish ones with low life expectancy are the sadbrained fat goonlords??
