SCARY spring compressor video

They never went to shop class!

 

Guys like this are the reason why the "Darwin Awards" exist. Natural selection does eventually thin the dumb ones out of the herd.

I worked at a Goodyear store, and our Service Manager was a first-class prankster. Mind you ... he made sure that no one was in the "kill zone" before doing this.... We were on the second story catwalk, and he had a front spring removed from a car. He says "watch this..." and drops the spring over the rail, strategically so that it lands on its flat end on the garage floor below....

That @#$^# spring shot straight back up to pretty much where he let go of it.... I mean .... we were probably 12 feet up.... and then it bounced randomly a couple more times down below, bouncing off whatever was in its path. Funny and scary, all at the same time.

That dude wasn't right ....

If you were up in the catwalk area (steel mesh), and he was below, he would break out the brake cleaner and light the spray with his lighter, and then proceed to chase you around with the ensuing flame thrower.... giggling like a crazy person ... (OK, maybe not like, ... more accurately "as" ...)
