He had something heavy and fast on the other end of the rope. It's pretty common among Spanish riders to wrap the rope 2-3 times around the horn and then you can feed rope in or out until the critter is subdued. From the smoke I'd say he ran out of rope and the critter was still moving. It's really easy to lose a finger doing that.
I too read Ratman's Notebooks as a kid. Didn't think many people would know of that book! Had no idea until now that rats could think through using such a tool.
#3 the lifter has 'bumper plates' on the olympic bar. Bumper plates are rubber padded & not as heavy as regular plates but still impressive although I am estimating total weight of olympic bar (45 lbs) & plates (10 lbs) to be around 65 pounds.
We always wrap the horn with rubber. That grips the rope. Usually one dally of the rope will hold. On a cow or bull takes two or more dally And of course always retighten cinch before the rodeo. I believe taquila might of been involved
The old cowboy I used to work for used to stretch a piece of bicycle inner tube over his saddle horn. That saddle was cinched down fairly tight judging by the fact it didn't slip completely under the horse so I think he just didn't give it enough knee when he blew the horse. You're right though, he should've rechecked it first.
#4: I swear there's nothing these guys won't fuck.
#7: "We regret to inform you that after reviewing all of the evidence, your insurance claim has been denied."
I don't know for sure that my dad would have killed me if I did something like that, but I would have been thinking about running very far away. Not that it would have been an issue, our tub wasn't acrylic.
#8: "Get off me you fat fuck!" -- that horse, probably.
#9: Dude, the Wright brothers stayed in the air for 11 seconds.
This guy is taking the whole "asshole cyclist blocking traffic" thing to a whole new level too.
#2, couldn't dare me enough. What the heck happened in #8?
ReplyDelete#8 - He didn't cinch neither the lariat nor the saddle enough.
DeleteThank you
DeleteHis fat @ss needed to be off of that horse. Wtf is wrong with people?

ReplyDeleteSo much for the "Man is the tool-making animal"
Delete#9 At least he had a bright shirt on so other planes could see him. And probably hit him to put a quick end to this.
ReplyDeleteHell, just fly near and he'll go down.
Delete#4 I believe that is blood on the snake's nose from the previous two people that tried this.
ReplyDelete#4 is some sick shxt

ReplyDelete#9 Some guy flew across the English Channel, about 21 miles, in a pedal powered plane. I think that it was called the Gossamer Albatross.
ReplyDelete#5 my favorite kind of video. You're fishing dipshit, get off the phone.
ReplyDeleteEven if I hadn't ever seen washed out bridges, there's still no way I'd get on that bridge. Idiots.
