I did a much longer version of #2 back in winter 1984. My wife and I lived in a walkout basement apartment in a house up on a hill. The front door opened out to the driveway. Over night we had freezing rain. I walked out, fell onto my butt, and started sliding down the driveway... all 400' of it bouncing off the curbs so I couldn't bail off. At the bottom were several cars stuck that couldn't make the hill. I put my feet out and aimed for the rear wheel of one of the cars so I wouldn't slide under. I hit it hard enough to move it sideways a couple of feet. Freaked out the driver when I stood up. I went back up to my house through the woods.
That is why the solid form of dihydrogenmonoxide is so dangerous! Hopefully the good people at USEPA will ban it, making life safer for all of us. That same crap makes the largest component of acid rain and is the cause of most soil erosion around the world.
Mom and Younger Sister were leaving a family even once upon a time to get in the car parked across a good sized, black ice covered parking lot. Younger Sis slipped, hit the deck, and slowly slid the length of the parking lot while wile slowly spinning around on her back lookin' like a turtle.
Mom carefully stepped back off the ice and found a light pole to hang onto while she double over and nearly choked herself to death laughing. Most of us were worried more for Mom than Younger Sis. Younger Sis is still pissed off about it. Fortunately a fair bit of the family witnessed it so the story lives on.
#3, once the pallet starts to go over stay the hell back, you ain't saving it. #9, never carry the load up high as the results are as shown, at least #3 had that part right.

#2 is damn lucky he didn't split his head open on the brick planter.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like #1 bounced their face off the concrete.
DeleteYeah, she did. Made my forehead hurt just to watch it.
Delete#4 I'm guessing someone lost their pilot's license?
