    That's Darwin almost working. Unfortunate when idiots like that cause others to lose their lives.

    well the one that lost his shoe if he was a bit slower would not have derailed the train. The driver would of had a long fully paid holiday with councelling and the train would have had a good wash.

  • I was once told a story about a couple of nutters in Germany who thought it would be a good idea to jump dirt bikes over a railway. The real stupidity of it was that they did it infront of oncoming trains.

    Well, one of them got himself killed. The cops found his helmet a couple of hundred metres up the line, complete with the bikers head inside.

    Here is another one that leaves me open mouthed. Once you have been seen doing something this stupid you should be operated on to stop you from being able to reproduce.

    I saw the story yesterday as well, shocking. And stupid.

    Perhaps you guy's have heard of the TrainRider?

    Stupidly dangerous but it has to be fun.

    Dude, you shouldn't post that stuff on here... Especialy without a warning....

    Do you think that would be appropriate on a site with a swearing filter?

    It's revolting.

    But it isn't an issue of terrible taste - it doesn't belong on any forum without warning; least of all a forum with a 'Beginner's and Family' section.

    Keep it cool Red. :wink:

    I know it was in reference to what he said but it still did not make sense.

    Nothing wrong with that, there was no blood or anything, a kid surfing Youtube will almost 100% come across swear words.

    Indeed they will come across swear words, just as they would in a street, but I hope they won't come across a boy breaking (Crushing? Slamming? Owning?) his leg.

    At the end of the day, it's not something you would expect to see in a public place so why post it in a public forum?

    Besides - it's pretty much the definition of sadism.

    Ok Will I don't think we're on the same wave-length here. I was refering to Red's post containing the link to a lovely video of a child being seriously injured. I don't know what rocks some people's boats into thinking that's cool but I don't think it's appropriate for a website, especialy a website that goes out of it's way to install a profanity filter! If a website is going out of it's way to protect the users from swear words, perhaps it might not want video's of kids losing their shins to concrete slabs and getting ran over by buses.

    As a side-note - should you like these video's of children being harmed, you might want to keep that to yourself...

    Now I'm gonna give Stewie his thread back :)

    Peace.

    Schadenfreude surely? In fairness there are a lot more unpleasant videos of people breaking things on youtube that are a lot more distressing to watch. try searching for (weightlifting leg break or kick boxing leg break)

    The video of the berk kicking the wall did the rounds here last year, the OM NOM NOM NOM animation just makes it better. If anyone does find this stuff funny then tune into SCARRED on MTVR (not MTVONE on ch 350 on SKY but ch 160) at 11pm tonight. You might just discover how high someone's head can bounce.

    WARNING; Turn the sound down if you are in an office.

    I've not watched any of these vids yet - tried last night but my computer is crap - but having read the thread I know full well what to expect :wink: even up to the point of Red's first one (kicking concrete wall?)

    Christ back off mate. I didn't see a child getting seriously injured - all I saw was a mindless vandal, a thug, getting his just desserts for trying to destroy someone's property ie the wall. Hopefully he broke his leg or worse still, should be a good deterrent for the little bar steward in the future. Then again if he hasn't learned from this then he deserves the same or worse in the future.
