Not slapstick but still...

Apparently you can fake up a whole supercar.

That’s a taxi.

Stupid motorcycle riding, or "overcome by conditions?" Either way, I hope that guy bought a lottery ticket right away!

reader50 · Jul 28, 2019, 10:51 PM

Whoa, I didn't process that right away. The rider went under the trailer. Arms and legs all still attached. Impressive.

A little slower.

It's refreshing to see workers with proper safety gear. If that were 3rd world, the boys would have tumbled down. As it is, he didn't even drop the cutting torch.

They were cutting off the tray, and had a guide rope on the right side. Probably placed there when they cut the right side. Someone forgot to add another when they moved on to the left side.

My lip read on the catcher is “Jeeeeeesus Christ!”

So…Ball 1?

Looks like a passed ball to me. Hope the runners advanced.

“No pitch”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_pitch

A no pitch is a pitch in baseball that is ruled to be not a ball, a strike or a balk.[1]

There are various reasons an umpire would rule a no pitch. If the umpire is not in a ready position to call a ball or strike, he may call a no pitch. Also, if the umpire believes the batter is not ready, or if the batter is not in the batter's box, he may rule a no pitch. If an umpire (not necessarily the home plate umpire) calls time while a pitch is being delivered, a no pitch is usually called.

One of the most famous no pitch calls was when ten-time All-Star Randy Johnson hit a bird with a pitch. The ball was near the plate when it hit a flying bird. After the pitch hit the bird, the ball was ruled dead. The bird was also ruled dead. In fact, this no pitch call is so well known that there are more Google search results for "Randy Johnson bird" than there are for "Randy Johnson baseball."[2]

No gore, but hard to imagine this person’s spine remains intact.

reader50 · Aug 22, 2019, 08:18 PM

Checking frame-by-frame, he went over the front car. Landed to its right, near the front-right fender. The overtaking car is just that - long shadows suggested a truck. But it's just a car.

He got popped up and over, not sandwiched. So no gore.

subego · Aug 23, 2019, 09:55 AM

Would it surprise anyone this clip prompted a slap-fight about lane-splitting in the comments?

subego · Sep 10, 2019, 11:47 AM

Driver apparently slammed on the gas instead of the brake. One guess as to whether they were over 80.

Also note what looks like an exploding Samsung.

cell phone guy is lucky!

Good reflexes and awareness, probably saved his life.

I feel like the old woman has good awareness, and then the opposite of reflexes.

I feel the woman in front of cell phone man was the luckiest. She had no clue, didn't move and managed to get away with it by millimetres.

subego · Sep 16, 2019, 04:23 PM

Oh... no question.

But, and I guess it’s ultimately kind of sad, you can also see her, well... pretty much just give up.

subego · Sep 17, 2019, 08:25 AM

Apparently a closed road people were using anyway.

I mean, I've seen some stupid storrowing, but this wins a prize.

subego · Sep 19, 2019, 04:15 PM

The point was made that if you forget to put on your seatbelt, the ****er beeps at you until you remember.

As for Storrowing, now it’s my turn for a flashback to being 18. My dorm was on Commonwealth and Babcock.

Probably the most important part of my education that year was learning, after a bunch of us got high and snuck into Nickerson Field, that what are essentially fully grown adults shouldn’t play ren-rover.

andi*pandi · Sep 19, 2019, 04:42 PM

I knew I liked you for a reason. I was nearby in the heart of the crime-free Fenway. Never snuck onto Nickerson Field though.

I did paint the comm ave bridge, once or twice. Mostly sober.

subego · Sep 19, 2019, 05:20 PM

It’s like they wanted you to sneak in.

Right next to the gate was a wall of “breeze blocks”.

In other words, a wall made of secure handholds and footholds.

My most vivid Comm Ave bridge memory is carrying a passed out girl piggyback to her dorm after the conscious girl I was with got suddenly freaked by our cabbie.

andi*pandi · Sep 19, 2019, 09:37 PM

Our dorms were surrounded by iron gates that were locked at 11pm. I scaled it once because I was too lazy to go all the way to the security desk (and maybe to prove I could). Once was enough. It was pointy.

subego · Sep 20, 2019, 09:29 AM

I was there the first year guests couldn’t stay past 11.

People cried bloody murder, though I’m sure we were still in the Wild West compared to what it has to be now.

I'm glad the power lines didn't fall on the lady holding the ladder. wtf.

subego · Sep 24, 2019, 02:32 PM

Can’t really say the same for the chainsaw.

andi*pandi · Sep 24, 2019, 03:17 PM

didn't see that, was so busy watching the power lines.

Don't chainsaws have a failsafe? If you aren't gripping it's supposed to stop?
