Yeah, including this fat, 62 year old white guy. :smiley:

I just saw this video this morning, so I nominate shooting .50 cal rifles at iron plates. as being pretty scary.

I wonder if he got that thing for christmas?
:wink:
Who can source my odd reference?

Not the game per se, but the scariest pre-game freakout is watching the New Zealand All Blacks doing the Haka.

Especially the part where those guys are going to charge you afterwards. Gah! :smiley:

OK, that is seriously intimidating!

HF as a hobby item is some dangerous shit!

Yes and no. It will dissolve pretty much anything, but it does so fairly slowly. It should be handled carefully due to a chemical toxicity threat not present with more vigorous corrosives (I.E., Destruction of tissue limits the dosage of stronger acids.), but there’s not much in the way of a “The Goggles! They do nothing!” danger.

Are you kidding? I ran like hell before I realized they were only on my monitor.
Actually, I’ve seem the Maori on PBS. What man wouldn’t love to be able to do that? :wink:
One woman, at work, said she thought it was cute, and sexy as hell.

Definitely quilting. Rotary cutters are sharp, man. And you should see my torn-up fingertips after a day of sewing.

I actually amputated my fingertip with a rotary cutter!
(it got better)

Flying down mountains? :eek:

You beat me to it. That video is amazing and terrifying; apparently, these wingsuits can get glide ratios of 2.5:1 (2.5 feet forward for every 1 foot drop).

Here’s another video.

I saw that on tv, and was duly impressed. You realize that they’re going down at a good rate, right? It looks like they’re flying, but they’re actually falling at an angle. I don’t know the glide ratio, but it’s pretty steep.
Yes, dangerous.
But I wouldn’ feel at all threatened watching. And I guess that’s what mean by “scary”. You feel uneasy, or threatened, by being there. That’s how it is at a pickup game.
Back in the day at a drag race people stood along the strip, no more that 20-30 feet away. Believe me, you were in danger. Which is why they stopped it and moved spectators back.

Oh! I should have looked up, huh? Answered my question before I asked.
I gotta say, that does look like fun. Not that I have the guts to do it.

A lollypop for Cluricaun. :smiley:
That popped into my head the second I saw the bullet bounce back.
