#1 I was a avid skier back in the day. Not unusual for some idot to stand at the bottom of a jump. Catch air look down and there would be some asshole. I landed on more than one of em.
Did a lot of that myself when I was younger. While it is stupid to stand at the end of the jump the downhill skier has the right of way. If you are jumping where you can't see the landing you need to have someone clear it before you go. Course you need a buddy who isn't planning on screwing you and laughing. My friend clear a nice jump for me but when I got to the point where I could see the landing I realized it was a mogul field. He fell down laughing and I was making sailor's cringe just before I hit. Paybacks are a bitch.
#1- Probably a union Longshoreman who is pulling down a couple of hundred thousand dollars a year running lift and is the son-in-law of his supervisor's daughter.
#3 I've talked to people who say they always include a... (what's the term? Fusable link? Sqeezable link? Anyway, one of those chain pieces you squeeze closed to repair a chain.) In their tow chain when dragging tourists out of the mud on the job site, because they've ripped too many undercarriages apart. End up just telling 'em: "You'll have to wait a month or two for it to dry out in the spring. You can get your car back then. If I pull your car any harder, it'll come apart."
But this is the first time I've seen a video of it. Was that an engine mount or a tie rod on the end of the chain when he was done?
An exceptional collection today. Always like the faceplants. But the topper is homie's SUV stuck in the mud. Hey, just hook on to whatever we can reach, nah, don't need to dig it out any. - Mr. Mayo
#8 A bit similar happened to me on the upper Arkansas. I got dumped out of the ducky (basically a training kayak, open topped) and wound up straddling a rock, feet away from a 15'dropoff. I was trying to both hold onto the ducky and free myself because the force of the water had me pinned. The guide told me to just let it go, he would grab it, and roll forward to get unpinned. Wheeee!

ReplyDeleteI once got off a ski lift and went right over some ones skis because the dufus was standing still in front of the lift exit point.

It looks something like four or five thousand dollars to me, by the time it gets fixed....

Thanks for the laughs. I hear Benny Hill music with some of them.
