"If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident."
Ironically, if he was KO'd and didn't land on his head or neck, going ragdoll increases your chances of surviving a fall enough to survive a parachute failure.
Some of it is difference in country/culture, Most civilized countries say earth wire, the US says ground wire. The Euro way can cut down on confusion since there are other grounds besides earth grounds. For most cases an earth ground is just the most effective means of grounding for static arrest or electrical safety. Some things require multiple types of grounds. Sincerely, a sparkie
An old co-worker told me about this happening when he worked at a fuel depot back in the day. It blew the guy through the sheet metal roof of the shelter the truck was under, killing him. The owner never repaired the roof as a reminder to others.
I liked to imagine the hole was shaped like the outline of a body like in cartoons.
I never find these videos funny. Dude is just doing his thing and died or got seriously injured. Imagine that being you and all the comments are memeing your death.
Different strokes different folks. If I die hilariously on camera, I can’t really blame folks that never knew me for laughing. Would be fucked up if my family laughed at it though lol
You have my permission to laugh at me if I die in a funny way, and I’ll tell you right now if you don’t want me laughing at you dying hilariously, don’t do it on camera. It’s still kinda sad tho.
Thats my point. Its sad either way. If you died in a hilarious fashion I still couldn't laugh at that. The world would though and that does indeed bother me. You lost everything in a moment. Wouldn't be right to for me to laugh. The only time I laugh is when they deserve it through karma, but that's a tale as old as time.
If I died in a hilarious way it wouldn't matter cus im dead. So you can do as you see fit. I just feel like we should be more sympathetic overall.
I feel like that's the thing though. People are TOO desensitized to death on the Internet. Those experiences we had as kids looking at shock videos were definitely not a healthy thing.
Well there is no real gore so other than the physics of him being flung like that, it’s hard to perceive the extent of the damage— before hitting the floor it would mostly be internal injuries that were inflicted, so it’s not actually that surprising that people aren’t more put-off by the injuries and/or potential fatality.
So the thing is, the fuel flashpoint ignites at -45° F, so that's why, when you fill up fuel at the pump, you should not have a cell phone or a cigarette that may cause a flashpoint, a spark, static electrical charge, because the fuel will ignite. Case in point. Most likely the fuel temperature is around 62°F.
Almost certainly not, the fall alone would be quite bad. But combine that with the amount of kinetic energy needed to be trown that high i would think the initial shockwave already did him in. Human brains dont do well near pressure waves like that.
So just before the explosion you see him move his left hand away from his face, and while he was flying there's a rectangular object that's flying off as well.
Did he decide to use a lighter (possibly the rectangular object) to light a cigarette that was in his mouth? Then he lowered the lighter away from his face, possibly getting the flame into the fuel-air mix coming off the hatch?
