slug 1 #3 January 14, 2005 already seen itDarwin award? Well at least he's not welding on the braces holding the truck up. If he's a Darwin some one will "accidentally" drive by and knock out the brace's R.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Courteney 0 #5 January 14, 2005 Kinda looks like a trap I once saw when I was a kid. Take a box, lift one side with a stick, tie string to the stick and chuck some seeds under box, hide, wait for birds. Looks like someone was hunting a backyard welder. ;-)...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdctlc 0 #8 January 15, 2005 what is wrong with that picture, hell he did go the extra mile on safety, he has got a rock there to keep the truck from rolling backwards, Geeze people, really gotta calm down.

If he's a Darwin some one will "accidentally" drive by and knock out the brace's R.I.P. I was wondering??? How the hell did he GET the truck UP on those braces in the first place?????? If he had enough "helpers" to lift the truck,,,, maybe they shouldda just TIPPED it OVER altogether in the first place.... hahahahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salsa_John 0 #14 January 15, 2005 at least he chocked the wheel. Speaking of the Darwin Awards, a mega-whuffo at work in an attempt to mock me and deride the safety of the sport, told me of a Darwin Award story about a videographer who jumped with only a backpack full of camera gear. Knowing about about the checks we do individually and how we look out for our "brothers", I don't see how this could really happen. I checked and could not find this story. "You did what?!?!"

Can I ask why you wasted time looking for a story that came from a mega-whuffo that was just trying to stir upi shit? What could possibly go wrong?

Tailgate 0 #16 January 15, 2005 Quote What's with the WV jokes??? Anyway-his butt crack ain't showing-he's no Hillbilly! Agreed, In WV he would have a ramp built over the edge of a hill so he wouldn't have to wast time with the jack, and besides there is no UMWA sticker on the truck. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunatley that story is very much true. A search of the photography forum will show countless threads of whuffo's asking to see the video. Yes, the video exists. No, you can't see it. It happened in the early 70's, when camera equipment was so large, the recording head was chest-mounted. Also in the 70's, reserve parachutes were chest-mounted, so people simply didn't notice the difference. This is a good opportunity to remind ourselves that relying on our friends to save us in this sport will now work. Ultimately, you are the only one responsible for your actions.
