Car = Weapon
Hey everyone,
Here are some videos that I dug up to remind us how dangerous a car can be if you're unfortunate enough to get hit by one.
For our first clip, we have a group of guys who decide to send good ol' Frosty the Snowman on a Frogger training mission. Frosty puts up a fight for the first collision, but after that, his untimely demise looks more like a vaporisation. I'm sure they damaged the vehicle involved in this clip, but since it's just a Dodge Intrepid, I doubt anyone really cared. On a final note, you may want to turn down your volume for this clip; the guy holding the camera has a laugh that gets annoying faster than you can say "die frosty, die".
Next we have a video of an innocent cop getting owned by an SUV. If this video isn't enough motivation for you to think twice about changing a flat on the side of the highway, I don't know what is. Amazingly, he manages to actually get up and run off the road.
So maybe one day you might find yourself at a motor racing event, and to top things off, you get to watch track-side. If you're spectating anywhere near a corner, it's always wise to watch from the inside of the corner and not the outside. Don't believe me? Watch this.
If you own a high powered car, and like to drive fast, you need to know that even small objects can do huge amounts of damage to your car if you're going fast enough. Watch what happens when this fellow hits a bird going 180 MPH in his Evo IX.
Looking for a new job? Motor racing photography might not be the safest option. Racers seems to care very little about any people that might be in the way of them winning the race. Look what happens to this photographer. Was the picture worth it? Doubtful.
Just for fun....
Back to business. Do you own a motorbike? You may feel invincible racing around on a couple hundred kilos of metal, but you can get easily victimized by any car. Watch this video to see how much damage a tiny car can do to a motorbike. The guy on the bike is likely dead, or at least eating his Cambells Extra Chunky Soup through a straw. The car, well, it'll buff out.
