Didn't look funny at all to me.

There would be no rules in the war that would start if somebody did that to me.

Maybe I missed something by not listening to the sound? :whoknows:

When I saw the topic I expected another I-got-wrecked-in-a-Miata story from Kevin. Thank heaven that isn't the case.

Wow. With the larger monitor and listening to the sound, it actually appears he did that willingly. Hard to understand with the poor sound quality and redneck "speech" though.

And I had the same thought when I saw the title and author. :lol:

Yeah, I simply can't imagine even the WORST coworkers laughing hysterically at the IMMEDIATE sight of something like that if it was a joke. You'd have to be more in an "oh shit" state.

No, check that, maybe not. I mean you'd think even if you just did that to someone ON PURPOSE you'd be in an "oh shit" state. That was brutal.

If anything it's a good video (sans sound) of why you better be careful around airbags. Wow. I knew they were strong, but to blow a guy that hard off the ceiling? I mean wow.

This was done in Russia, so you don't really know what was being said.

I got the impression the "victim" did it knowingly. Alcohol was involved - see the "40's" being handled?

At first I thought it was staged, but I don't think so. This is just a bunch of bored, drunk guys hanging out in a garage with their creative juices flowing.

Maybe this would be one for MythBusters to confirm/deny.
