His Leg!
mxxconOMG! I'd be so pissed off at that guy! FFS! It looks like your leg got cut off! Dumbass! Tell me right away that's a fake leg!
I thought he was so calm because he was in shock and on adrenaline rush, that's why he wasn't freaking out and screaming in pain.
His Leg!
cloudballoon says...Wouldn't hurt for him to say: "My PROSTHETIC Leg!" Would be tragically ironic if the guy trying to save him got a heart attack while handling his emotion/adrenaline.
That said though, pretty cool to see that's not stopping him motocrossing!
People needs to see the UK's weekly "The Last Leg" show, those guys are hilarious.
Raccoons attacks little girl
Khufu says...Ya that mom was running on pure adrenaline... at one point holding the kid upside-down in left arm while holding the racoon in the other arm and shouting to the kid to get inside.
And in the racoon's defense, it was "allegedly" rabid:)
not judging but am more amazed than amused.
the poise of the woman to get her daughter into the house, while handling a rabid animal biting her - THEN stopping in mid-toss to warn a neighbor BEFORE she tossed it (not a bad toss either) - found it similar awe-inspiring.
not to say folks might not rib her for a few days afterward...
"jack's been looking for a bouncer, why not give him a call?"
"suddenly, around 7 AM every morning, we're having all sorts of small animals running by the house like they're afraid of something. isn't that the time you take your kid to school?"
"bet now when you tell your daughter to clean her room or your husband to pick up his socks - THEY LISTEN!"
"gonna call you the next time one of those missionaries stops by the house. would be worth money to see someone hammer-toss a mormon."
of course, she might be like...

BSRHow the hell did it get up inside the light fixture? Adrenaline?
Scary encounter with Mountain Lion cubs and mom
moonsammyI totally get the adrenaline preventing rational thought at first, but that was a solid 6 minutes of walking by some excellent "get the fuck away" rocks. I felt pretty vindicated when throwing one damn rock got it to flee. Our advantage is thumbs, buddy: use them.
He just needs to carry a good rock and be way more dominant. Too bad there weren't any rocks around.
Sky Brown the 12 year old girl and her mega ramp
SFOGuyNever been that adrenaline junky but I can see the attraction.
I gave up my fastest downhill skis last week; loved them, but too hard on the knees on anything other than a good groom and in the past two years, I've deliberately traded away 12-18 mph on my average downhill speed because: not willing to pay the tax on a high speed crash anymore .... I look at what she's dropping in on and I know that I would never do that on skis now...
I had a friend in high school that had a 15' vertical ramp. He liked to climb to the roof of his 3 story Victorian to drop in, around 40'. Another friend's ramp had a big tree next to it, he liked to grab it >30' up and sit down to rest, then drop back in from the branch. He never looked scared at all.
When you're doing what you love, the fear of failure dissolves.
That's how I was able to drive 140 over unknown uneven terrain with +- 3% traction and feel good about it. It was horrifically unsafe, but some of the best times of my life I would repeat in a heartbeat if I was still able. Thanks to various broken parts including my back, that's a pipedream now. (Hilariously, maybe ironically, I broke it working on my house, not off road racing, not downhill biking, not whitewater kayaking, just removing a cast iron bathtub.)
At least there are some decent off-road video games now to keep me out of the buggy.
Dr Drew's Horrific Coronavirus Advice Compilation
eoe says...When I bike around town and some asshole almost hits me with his car, I oftentimes catch up to them at a red light. I usually knock on their window and ask them to be more careful because they almost fucking killed me. Politely. But usually a little bit of adrenaline behind my voice because, you know, he almost killed me.
Sometimes they tell me to fuck off. But 9 times out of 10 they say they didn't even see me and that they're sorry. And honestly, even though they almost killed me, sorry makes a lot of the hate go away.
Can one of these pigfuckers please, for the love of fucking god, just say, "I was wrong. I'm sorry that I underestimated the breadth and deadliness of this disease. Please listen to other sources of information. I'm obviously misinformed."
But not one yet. Not a single one has admitted to their inaccuracy. Not even good ol' @bobknight33.
The sky is not the limit
newtboyI've become torn about drone nature videos.
On the one hand, the views they can get are unique and stunning, the adrenaline pumping rollercoaster rides through impossible obstacle courses are heart pounding.
On the other, I'm all too aware of the efforts people make to have a single day in the peaceful majesty of nature, and having what sounds like a fleet of leaf blowers hovering overhead, whirring back and forth through the scene can ruin the experience completely.
I really believe there should be designated days/weeks when drones are allowed in public parks, reserves, preserves, wilderness areas, etc and they should be banned other times to make it fair for everyone.
I was a repeated victim of drone pollution in Iceland.
F-18 Criticisms in the 80's mirror those of the F-35 today
transmorpher says...The reason why we still have human pilots in fighters is because you can't jam or hijack a pilots brain. Any machine that is remotely controlled can be jammed at the very least. Leaving it unresponsive to commands. The exception here is that it could be pre programmed to perform a specific bunch of tasks, perhaps even something as advanced as air to air combat but, it loses a lot of flexibility. And it can be easily exploited.
E. G. you know a robot fighter jet is on it's way. Jam it so it cannot be called to cancel it's mission. Put some children into the target area.... That can happen and does with real pilots too, but they are able check and recheck as many times as they feel necessary either their JTACs or the amazing optics on modern jets giving a clear picture from over 10 miles away.
And that if course is with the ethical concerns of having an automatic killing machine fly around, which people like Stephen hawking warn us about. Perhaps in the immediate future the danger is quite low with only collateral incidents, but can you imagine say Trump with this kind of power. A trained soldier regardless of being broken in during training and even with all of the testosterone and adrenaline flowing through his body is still a compassionate and thinking human being. The likelihood of ordering a military wide atrocity is very low compared to an army of machineswhich will carry out any tasks no matter how gruesome. Can you imagine what Trump would do if people were no longer in the loop to share the responsibilities and burden of war? And by extention, that technology would likely be used to control the populace. You think the police in the US have there fair share of power tripping jackasses slipping into the service, well imagine if every officer was basically a silicon version of Trump. That's the worst ki d of robocop movie ever lol
Lockheed Martin and the Pentagon say the F-35’s superiority over its rivals lies in its ability to remain undetected, giving it “first look, first shot, first kill.”
Hugh Harkins, a highly respected author on military combat aircraft, called that claim “a marketing and publicity gimmick” in his book on Russia’s Sukhoi Su-35S, a potential opponent of the F-35. He also wrote, “In real terms an aircraft in the class of the F-35 cannot compete with the Su-35S for out and out performance such as speed, climb, altitude, and maneuverability.”
Other critics have been even harsher. Pierre Sprey, a cofounding member of the so-called “fighter mafia” at the Pentagon and a co-designer of the F-16, calls the F-35 an “inherently a terrible airplane” that is the product of “an exceptionally dumb piece of Air Force PR spin.” He has said the F-35 would likely lose a close-in combat encounter to a well-flown MiG-21, a 1950s Soviet fighter design.
Robert Dorr, an Air Force veteran, career diplomat and military air combat historian, wrote in his book “Air Power Abandoned,” “The F-35 demonstrates repeatedly that it can’t live up to promises made for it. … It’s that bad.”
The development of the F-35 has been a mess by any measurement. There are numerous reasons, but they all come back to what F-35 critics would call the jet's original sin: the Pentagon's attempt to make a one-size-fits-all warplane, a Joint Strike Fighter.
History is littered with illustrations of multi-mission aircraft that never quite measured up. Take Germany's WWII Junkers Ju-88, or the 1970s Panavia Tornado, or even the original F/A-18. Today the Hornet is a mainstay of the American military, but when it debuted it lacked the range and payload of the A-7 Corsair and acceleration and climb performance of the F-4 Phantom it was meant to replace.
Yeah, the F/A-18 was trash when it first came out and it took YEARS and multiple changes/fixes to allow it to fully outperform the decades old aircraft it was designed to beat when it was released.
The F35 is not the best at anything it does, it is designed to fully be mediocre at all roles in order to allow it to be a single solution aircraft. That may change with more money, time, and data retrieved from hours spent in actual combat, but as it stands it is what it was designed to be. A jack of all trades and master of none, not something I would want to be flying in a role where I could encounter a master of that role.
As @ChaosEngine says, it is far beyond time that we move to a design where the pilot is not in the plane. There is no reason at this time that we cannot field a plane that could successfully perform it's role with the pilot in a secure location nearby. Such planes could be built cheaper, could perform in g-forces that humans cannot withstand, and would be expendable in a way that current planes are not. However, this would mean that our corporate welfare system for huge defense contractors would take a massive hit. We can't have that, can we?
Pilot Lands On Highway To Take A Pee Break

Maybe, that was a very normal response to a huge surge of adrenaline when his engine chopped out.
When you forget to strap in your hang gliding passenger
eric3579I assume that takes quite a bit of adrenaline and strength. I would have surely died in such a situation.
Lucas di Grassi on how quickly Formula E has evolved
vilThis is all fine, why not. IMHO Formula 1 is basically approaching this from the other shore most of the time.
Racing cars used to be about adrenalin, taming a beast, surviving unlikely odds and so on, an adventure for gentlemen.
In the last 40 years it has become a competition in pushing buttons, mostly.
If racing cars can have ABS, automatic gearboxes, power steering and all, why not an electric motor?
I still think it is sad and I am glad I saw F1 in the 70s.

Changing shifts at a French lighthouse in the Iroise Sea
drradonAdrenalin junkies only need apply... Helicopters might be okay in still air - but wouldn't be much of an improvement insofar as risk is concerned if there was any kind of wind blowing...
Spinout Close Call At Kaitoke Intersection
CrushBugSeriously folks, don't judge the driver here like you have survived 10 of these exact same incidents, flawlessly. Adrenaline, thoughts of the child in the back, all those things affect how you react. Judging from the safety of our monitors isn't very nice.
No collision, no injuries, and everyone got to come home alive. That is all that matters.
