Please be careful when speedrunning!

@Mr.Duke no it wasn't the guy on Youtube.
Per article "Shaun Greene, 37, of Roxbury, Mass., was listed in fair condition Wednesday..."

Thanks for the correction. I went back and edited it out of previous posts to keep his phone from blowing up over false info

The guy rented a racetrack on a closed night to run his RC on.
That's way more effort than I ever put into my 'safe place' speed runs.
jus' sayin'

 

[Mr.Duke]

They keep updating the original article to include more information. This morning when this was posted it didn’t give hardly any info and stated that the unnamed person at the time had broken both legs and his hip.Also wasn’t clear if this took place at a regular T&T night or a private rental

 

[wtfmfer]

wait.. what night is TT night?

 

[Mr.Duke]

Test and Tune; usually on wed or Thurs and open to pretty much anything from mopeds to pro mods testing

Even more important than that, did David Hogg approve it?

I sure wouldn't want to explain to my insurance company, that I did all that damage, by running myself over with an rc car!

 

[Mr.Duke]

I’d much rather be run over by a 14lb car traveling 140 than a 4000lb car traveling 40

 

[Doom!]

True, but if you run yourself over with a full size car, I think you might be doing the gene pool a favor.

True... but what if it's too pointy?
From that height, I think it'd be enough to split someone in half...

Like, a splitter? Speedrunners often have those. I onxe saw a vid of somebody getting hit by a 4tec. His leg was completely cut open

My carbon splitter is as sharp as a knife as it's worn out under braking. It will definatly cut the sole under my shoe at 100+mph

And now sell it to the military. They'd probably want a RC knife

I saw a video of a drone dropping bouncing betty teargas canisters. I think that's a more favorable development

In WWI they used planes to drop darts into trenches

220lb=100kg
5ft=1.5m

Ep= mgh = 100kg x 9.81m/s^2 x 1.5m = 1 471.5 m^2-kg / s^2 or roughly 1500 joules
so it should be much higher than 5ft

Here's my calculation:
let H be the starting height of the 100kg object
100kg x 9.81 m/s^2 x H = 8619 m^2-kg / s^2
H = 8.8 m or almost 29ft

And that was excluding air drag, sooo...

STOP!!! SCHOOL ISNT FOR A FEW HOURS

 

[The Bean]

For me, school starts at 14.40, and I only have 75 minutes school, so only one class
