wmw999 2,150 #2 March 1, 2012 Y know what, he shows tremendous faith and composure -- I'm sure that hurt. Pretty stupid, but if he sells those, I'll bet that a decent number of people buy them -- he's alive and talking reasonably composedly. It wasn't a hold-my-beer moment really; it transcended that somehow, in a bull-rider "I'll bet I can ride that" way Wendy P, There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beowulf 1 #10 March 1, 2012 I don't think it rates very high on the scale of "dumb things people have done". He lived and it wasn't that likely that he would die from it. It's been done many times before with out serious injury or death. So it isn't a totally unknown outcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matthewcline 0 #12 March 1, 2012 Why the hell did he feel the need to test out the vest? He didn't trust the hundreds of youtube videos showing they work in real confrontations? MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Ya and he has steel balls and a pea sized brain Since it kind of goes along with the topic: CW-"these are real combat vests?" Me-" Yeah, but one is only the carrier" CW- "Cool" ..."We could shoot each other and be OK?" Me- "Sure, with in reason" CW-"Can we?"..."like you said, you know, with in reason" Me-"Sure, I will shoot first" Co Worker looks hesitant, then asks "What does that mean 'one is only a carrier' ?" Now, I think I need to get a second lock on my office. I would hate to see this guy on the local news! MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

wayneflorida 0 #19 March 2, 2012 Would have sucked if when he threw the gun down and it went off with the bullet going up threw is groin into his heart.I knew a guy that was having trouble with the key to open his motel room and threw his bag down. Well, the 9mm in the bag fired with the bullet going up his butt and partially paralyzing him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtval 0 #21 March 3, 2012 I would have to imagine that, even though this guy i sout of his fucking mind, he only loaded one bullet. I would also imagine the reason why HE shot HIMSELF and didnt have the camera person do it was so , just in case the vest failed, he could protect the shooter. I still have to imagine that there were reports of gun shots. I wanna see the video where the police showup.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
