#6 I used to practice karate many years ago and I once visited a gym where they had one of those things. It was attached to the floor and ceiling with elastic. The regulars there made it look easy, punching it and dodging it. When I tried it I was surprised just how difficult it was to hit, once you had hit it once and it was moving. I didn't get hit in the face by it but mainly because I was so inept at getting it moving.
#1, saw it happen to my dad once plastering a ceiling. He was in the middle of tossing the mud on the ceiling when one of my younger brothers screamed out. We laughed about that for years
I seem to remember a picture in the rigger shed down by the air fat Ft Benning that showed a trooper coming in on his first jump with his knees bent and his feet tucked up against his fourth point of contact. The caption read, “He broke his leg.” Apparently, he also managed to have a kid and the kid now lives in California and jumps off the boardwalk onto the beach.
#10 was not tempered glass (like side windows in cars that break into thousands of tiny pebbles). Those large pieces can cause lots of stitches in a tender area.
I've seen a momma gator go face-to-face with a Caterpillar D9 dozer. No way I'd ever try to take on a momma gator protecting her nest or babies. I'd volunteer to be Hillary's gynecologist's Sherpa before wrestling with one of those. They're THAT badass.
#3 Seen that happen. We were in a nearby boat and picked the hapless sailor out of the water. Once we had him safely returned to his own boat we all had a good laugh at his expense.
#4 Dumb ass! It was made of glass. Did you not think it would break?
#9 Lmao!
ReplyDeleteNever challenge a gator with your make believe off road truck with the stick on plastic brush guards.
