newtboyjokingly says...No, woman, they were being obstinate, you were being belligerent. Ignorance of your own native tongue is no excuse.
ChaosEnginesays...Epic trick.
But seriously, these guys were being complete assholes. They're trespassing and they WERE acting belligerent, or did you miss the part where he got into the woman's cart?
I'm guessing that's a school, so all the poor woman is doing is her job and not exposing the school when these little shits sue because he's too fucking stupid to wear a goddamn helmet.
antsays...*ftw
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Ftw) - requested by ant.
Nephelimdreamsays...Lol.

newtboyjokingly says...True enough, eventually they were obstinate AND belligerent, but not when she first said it.

ChaosEnginesays...In a lot of ways, I support WHAT they're doing, if not HOW they're doing it.
I love watching people do amazing skilful stuff on bikes, boards, or just their hands and feet. If someone asks me if my taxes should pay for skate parks, etc. my answer is "hell yes".
I also understand doing it illicitly, spotting a rail or a gap or a drop somewhere and wanting to hit it. I don't even really mind them sneaking in, but if you're caught, just admit defeat and move on. Don't be a dick about it.
But the main problem is litigation, IMO. Everyone is so afraid of getting sued that you can't let anyone do something like this on your property.
In NZ, we have something called the ACC (Accident Compensation Corporation). It's basically a government insurance fund that everyone pays into (it's funded from petrol and car taxes, employee levies, etc), and it means that if you have any kind of accident, your treatment is covered (and a percentage of lost earnings if you can't work).
I know... evil socialism, right? But it's freaking awesome. It means you can have a sports club without carrying a stupid amount of insurance. It means that if someone injures themselves doing something stupid on your property (or public property or govt property) they can't sue anyone because they are already covered.
dannym3141says...If i were her at the end when they landed it, I'd have just started clapping and saying yeah ok, fair enough that was great. Sometimes you've got to forget the rules and regulations and just be pleased that you live in such an awesome world.
Drachen_Jagersays...It would have been better if he'd landed on the golf cart.
I doubt he'd learn a lesson from a few weeks in hospital, but maybe some impressionable people watching the video would.
MilkmanDansays...I can see this one from both sides. The potential for litigation -- which could be truly catastrophic for a school / business / private person / whatever -- is real. It's fucking retarded, but it is a real danger.
In the early 2000's, I was living in a trailer park with a buddy while we were going to college. We lived right next to a movie theater that had a nice, huge, paved asphalt parking lot in the back. We used to take roller blades, sticks, and a PVC hockey goal into that lot and play roller hockey after closing time -- like 2AM or so. Nobody there, no parked cars, no property around to damage with errant shots or whatever.
One night we went a bit earlier than usual, and the manager had happened to stay late to close. He saw us as he was driving out and started driving towards us. I figured "well, there goes this spot". He asked us what were were doing, we explained. He asked us if we had asked anybody for permission, and we admitted we hadn't. He asked if we knew that companies sometimes got sued by people who wiped out and broke a leg or whatever, and we said yes.
And then he surprised me. He said "OK, consider this me, the manager, giving you permission to keep on playing here, on these conditions:
1) Never play there if there are parked cars in that part of the lot behind the theater.
2) Come in and ask for permission again if we want to play with more people, or if any other conditions change.
3) Look me in the eye and give me your word as a man that you wouldn't sue me for being an idiot and falling down and breaking your arm or whatever, and shake my hand to seal the bargain."
Awesome theater manager. Not sure if things have gotten enough worse in litigation-crazy USA that he'd be willing to make that same bargain again. But that wouldn't be his fault, it would be an outcome of our crazy legal system.
Babymechsays...If nothing else, the fact that they were happily filming everything including her means that she never had the option of playing the nice guy here.

Esoogsays...Couldnt have said it better. I would not have handled their threats well. "I'm going right there, do you want to get hit or not?" Fucking dare you, cock suckers. Then they move her cart? Oh hell no.
Epic trick.

shagen454says...In video games when you do something stupid in order to make some serious moves and if you die but you pull those moves off you have to say "worth it". This gets a serious WORTH IT!
Paybacksays...Should have blocked the way, got hit, and sued the little shit into oblivion.
