Sadly it’s the unshown “monkey gets tangled” part that makes me incapable of upvoting these types of videos, because I know that happens 100 times for every “monkey gets untangled”.
Yes, I like that people go out of their way to help, but I’m far more disturbed that people do this in the first place, whether by negligence or intentionally the results are the same.
Like I said on the recent wolf trap video, people who set up indiscriminate deadly traps like this deserve to be caught in them and left to die in the wilderness. I feel similarly about fishing nets, but multiplied by a thousand or more. The amount of torturous death cause by discarded nets and traps could probably over feed the planet if harvested instead of wasted as bait for the next ghost net victim.
Even properly designed and fished nets average 65% unwanted bycatch, much of which dies before release. Ghost nets are much worse, and never stop fishing.

The Viper is doing EXACTLY as it's meant to do: it slithers to and tangled up a post.

What outcome did you expect?

wonder what the 'industry' thinks in this regard. also leery about how the 'Nannie state' believers would consider this: Nannie over nuthin' or nothing Nannie about unnecessary risks?

it is disturbing. just the tangle of extension cord thing shows how institutionalized this fear, or known risk, has been installed into the public. would reasonably assume this is traceable to having been taught in schools. echoed also in many ads, manuals, etc. although have difficulty understanding why putting inexpensive safeguards would be a bad thing?

but have always believed it's easier to change systems than people. am joining the Nanny crowd.

[also think BSR's advice is worth noting. maybe when the speaker starts in w/the technical jargon, a smaller window opens with a 'normal' person translating the message. i.e. "wire gets damn hot" or "could shock the crap outta yah". maybe not so perfectly clear, but succinct and truthful.]

should heed newt on that tangled.

that's the straight dope.

they had folks on tape talking about how they shut down power to the state. they laughed about it.

seriously, it might open yer eyes. if anything, you could read how a DEMOCRAT governor got recalled and was replaced by a REPUBLICAN!!!... due to the evilness of Enron.

so at least, there is an *eye-roll* a happy ending /s.

Amazing video, some of that looks super dangerous, like if he got a foot caught on that crane or if the two gliders got their chutes tangled.

Those ski runs look sooooo fun!

Yeah because shortly after that it became a tangled mess.

These things always drive me crazy watching the cables trail behind them and get tangled under their feet. You're spending all that cash on a VR setup, you can't hang a hook or a pulley from your ceiling?

Boomslang has a potent venom, and seems to get a few bites in on the chameleon, who seems to be faltering toward the end. I think the snake won this round.

Also, that snake is fast! I wouldn't want to tangle with it.

It's your 'holiday birthday' pal stopping by once again to wish you another Happy Day David. Enjoy and don't let anyone get your tinsel in a tangle!

Bolos would be pretty cool, though.

edit: Um, okay a bolo is not at all what I thought it was. Police shouldn't have those. I'm thinking of the thing with a couple weights attached by a cord that you throw to tangle up someone's leg. A bolus, maybe?

ed2: Er, no, a bolus isn't at all what I thought it was either. Can't say as whether police should have those. WTF is the name of the thing I'm trying to think of?

ed3: Bolas, ha! Yeah, them.

Really didn't like Frozen, could not understand what the fuss was all about. Tangled was great, Frozen sucked

I've been tangled in barbed wire a few times....I didn't fare as well as that raccoon did.
A little help goes a long way towards getting out unscathed.
