Having live anchors is somewhat of a safety device. Still a bad idea.

Anchor line breaks....Loft & Luff.... maybe a tea bag.

Flying line breaks... Deadfall

Depending on winds, maybe a lofting for a everyone...

Definitely pushing the "House always wins in the end" axiom.

Maybe not as bad an idea as practicing with a javelin in a public park and harpooning someone's pooch, but up there.... true story, not me.... strange childhood and all that.

Nah.... they just need the voice over yelling "Pull!!" periodically with shotgun sound effects.

That really would make it much better. :rolleyes:

Yuppers....just one of those days for me. :smilegrin:

The only ones more idiotic than the people in the vid are the people commenting saying it was awesome and hailing them as geniuses.
