Back in the day when I wore tools, I did a lot of 1-1/2” worm drill bit boring thru 2x s wall top plates for pvc condensate lines. You couldn’t see the top or floor plate 12D sinkers (pre nail guns).
I was using a 3/4 HP Milwaukee that would bang your elbows into the surrounding 2x4 wall studs like crazy when that worm bit found a nail….
Probably. Start with your arm in the window, then reflexively try to stick your arm out to stop the rollover! That mostly works when you fall and it's your own weight you are trying to hold, but try to hold 2 or 3 tons of steel and you know you'll only hurt yourself worse - but the point of a reflex is that it fires off faster than your higher brain functions can.
#7 My friend Mike (died from hernia surgery about five years ago) had a front tooth with a massive chip out of it because of that.
Drilling into the concrete, going well, leaned forward to check the tape on the drill bit to see if it was deep enough. The angle changed just enough to bind the drill bit in the hole, and next thing you know, his smile looked different.
#1: I used to drive a 75 Malibu. The bumper on that thing would not even have a scratch on it. #6: I learned this lesson when I was a kid, and it was drilled into me even more by two screaming parents unimpressed by my idiocy. #7: She may need some pants, but at least she had her goggles on!
Good idea: Ram that Dodge.

#7. Thank goodness for the steel toes, safety goggles and hearing protection.
ReplyDelete#7. Who hasn't had that happen before. Gal is lucky she doesn't have a broken wrist, just a black eye and a bruised ego.
ReplyDeleteIndeed... That truck DID say RAM...
ReplyDeleteThere's RAM, and there's RAM tough. This is a case of too tough.

DeleteIt was doomed from the start, the car would never fit.
Delete#5 Looks like a killer whale. The man is lucky he didn't end up as lunch.
ReplyDeleteThe man lived, guess it was a liver whale.

#1 - I've seen this way too often. And they tell us car drivers to watch out.
ReplyDeleteMore laughs and we all need a good laugh
ReplyDeleteWhat's going on in #8 besides the kid practicing soccer?
ReplyDeletewatch until the end when he breaks the window
DeleteThe thing we missed in 8 was the ass whipping!
