We lost a young mechanic at Balad in 2003.
He was filling a Blackhawk tire with nitrogen, not following proper procedures. When it cut loose and split him in half and seriously injured another.
Yep, I knew it was BS when I first saw it mainly because the tire was still on the rim and also the "person" accelerated to fast from the initial. However the point is very real, as said you don't take them lightly. But you can also have some fun with them. I had a guy I worked with who was a self proclaimed expert on all matters mechanical. One day he was inflating some tires when he asked what the cage was for. We told him for safety incase a rim came apart, he said he has never needed one but asked how to use it. So very casually I said you get inside the cage to protect yourself if the tire blows apart and walked off like nothing was going on. I did however run up to some friends and had them sneak back with me to see what he did. Yep, you guessed it he was inside the damn cage reaching threw it airing up the tires. We rode him like a 2 dollar mule...
671... you are 100 percent correct. Those old rims are safe and work great! I'd rather change split rim tires than well base any day. Unfortunately, plenty of people don't understand the difference between these tires and the one on their 10-speed...
It's all about knowing what you are doing. And those who do, are 100 percent safe. Those who don't... are like chlorine in the gene pool!

Dummy didn't consider all the gas fumes building up in the voids between the pieces of wood. It isn't the liquid gasoline that is so dangerous (although it is plenty dangerous enough), the real nasty danger comes from the explosive fumes. Dummy should have kept in mind that gas fumes are used to explode inside internal combustion engines.
Rolling Coal... in a 'Stang. Now that's funny right there!

Stained Glass Windows Made from Stacked Laser-Cut Paper by Eric Standley
Virginia-based artist Eric Standley (previously) brings a whole new meaning to the term “cutting edge” with his methodical stained glass windows created entirely from laser-cut paper. Standley stacks well over 100 sheets for many of his pieces which involve months of planning, drawing, and assembly. The artist says his inspiration comes from the geometry found in Gothic and Islamic architectural ornamentation which he somewhat jokingly calls “folk math.”

Y'know, with all the stupidity exhibited by the "rednecks" in this world, it's a wonder that there are any surviving. I watch some of the "Fail" videos on You Tube, and see characters doing things that a normal, sane individual would know better than to try. Broken bones, internal bleeding, ruptured nuts do nothing to stop others from showing their idiocy. Amazing....
In all fairness, Toyota does make a heck of a good truck now... when the frames aren't dissolving, that is.

Repost from the Mumbai Snipers Hide motivational Picture Thread. I have no idea what it means but I think it's really funny in Calcutta!
