Don't Drive like this Guy!!
« on: July 30, 2007, 11:53:47 PM »
Just thought I'd share some recent pictures with you.  Notice in the first picture where he came through the guardrail, went flipping through the air, and landed on the other side of the culvert.  Then look where he was...

Guardrails are there for a reason.

At least he picked a good place to land.

Happy trails.

The only broken guardrail I see is to the right of the screen.  Did he twist/flip/roll to get there?!?  Insane.  Forget repairing the truck - you'll never get the smell out!    :-[

That's got to be a joke, right?  They aren't really balancing that backhoe on a smokestack that is getting demolished, are they?

Isn't there a less dangerous way, like maybe imploding the stack with dynamite, or even a simple wrecking ball knocking the bricks into the stack maybe 5 or 10 feet at a time?  Seems like it would be safer, faster and cheaper, too.
