Shit. That's nasty. A friend of mine used to have a part of a fence post with a broken piston and part of a rod stuck in it that damned near hit us at Firebird from a top fuel car. I always wondered about the sanity of those guys that ran nitro in bikes where the only thing between the head/piston/rod and your chest is the fuel tank! I guess that's why you don't see an NHRA Top Fuel Bike class anymore.
I cant tell, I want to say that iut is the piston flying, But my heart is saying its the poor bastards hand.
[ QUOTE ] at atco of course... I keep telling every one, bad shit happenes at the shitty atco track.. [/ QUOTE ] i second that.
Does anyone have any video of any woodworking accidents? Maybe some table saw catastrophies? Or planer work? Drill press? Belt sander? CHOP SAW??!! Sam.
Now that is crazy!!!! I actually just saw a show on the these bikes and how alot of the riders are wearing bullet proof vests!!!
I always wondered how that would feel. Now I know. That hurts just to watch. [ QUOTE ] Does anyone have any video of any woodworking accidents? Maybe some table saw catastrophies? Or planer work? Drill press? Belt sander? CHOP SAW??!! Sam. [/ QUOTE ] No, but I wish I had some of my ex getting thrown up against the wall when she got caught in my drill press. That would be worth it's weight in gold. She was trying (without permission or knowledge) to drill a new hole in a belt. It grabbed her glove (never wear gloves while using a drill press) and slammed her ass up against the wall. Then the drill press fell on top of her, and she couldn't reach the switch. Lucky I herd her yelling for help. Otherwise she would have smoked the motor on my machine. Dumbass bitch.... Stay the fuck out of my shop!!! JOE
Check this one out! Joggin on the track. There's some real sick shit on this site, but some real trippy shit, too. I bet SAMS woodworking video can be found there. JOE
I'm just amazed they don't have some sort of Kevlar blanket or carbon-fiber shield over the engines to protect the driver. They've got them for automatic transmission cars, why not bikes? Can't weigh any more than a bullet proof vest! -brad
Brock Davidson is a local bike dude, definitely knows his stuff about bikes. Did more engineering research on n2o than most folks in the country. The movie file is a nitrous backfire. The flying projectile is the air box that was over the carbs. There's another movie of him somewhere of the gas tank on another bike blowing upward from a nitrous pop, and that one knocked him out and off the bike. He's paid his dues.
