Thursday's Ways Not To Die

.
.

I have to give much love to reader elevendreams for sending this amazing clip my way. This is love. This is beauty and truth and heaven incarnate.

I can't really find much info on when this was made or what it's deal is beyond the obvious lessons learned: you should wear gloves to prevent having your body crushed by a falling forklift and you should wear goggles to prevent nuclear explosions. And isn't that all you need to know anyway? I mean, duh!

This may be the single greatest video I have ever seen.

I KNOW. I'm obsessed with it. I've watched it like ten times this week already.

I couldn't even make it past the nail in the eyeball! I'm such a wuss... it was just too damn real! Give me miners with pickaxes any day.

It's like the industrial version of "Blood on the Highway," that old safe-driving movie... only way more hilarious.

Holy crap, that's all I have to say about that. That was hilarious and cringe-worthy all at once. Not sure if you've seen these but they're in the same vein of work safety type videos.

WTF? Did we post this at the same time?? Kismet.

Jason Adams said...

I think we posted this like five minutes apart, Stacie. I posted it and went to your blog a lil' later and wham there it was. Kismet indeed. Maybe we're sharing a brain like Lily Tomlin and Steve Martin!!!
