Cheating Death

[T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,716]

This guy must have a death wish.  First he places a battery on top of the gas tank and then deliberately creates sparks.  And the show stopper, he pulls from above the axle causing an almost fatal accident:

Doofus!!

Even I…. Well…

Got himself a neat little dirt track! Of two

 

I do remember pulling out some, what I thought were small shrubs. Hooked to the three point. That was a no no. I did not flip but close. I under estimated the roots. 

 

Take away, could happen with a little wheel horse.

Charles Darwin was just about right, survival of the fittest, demise of the dumbest.

This guy is definitely paddling round in the shallow end of the gene pool.

As I've posted many times, one gains knowledge from their mistakes, and we gain wisdom from other's mistakes.

I've survived many things in my life that made me wonder how, but usually the scary part was out of my hands. But so far I am still here, thank God. Bumps, burns, stitches. No major injuries other than my pride. 

 

@Mickwhitt beat me to it though. We always referred to occurrences like the video of natural selection in action... That guy needs to stay away from any machines more complex than a hair brush.

What slays me is in the video he made a point of NOT hooking a load above the axle--and went ahead and did it!

Definitely a Darwin Award nominee…..😁 Some of those guys on YouTube do dumb stuff like that for clicks and more eyes on their channel. I get the reasoning BUT, It’s still stupid though.

He made the video to get lots of views and perhaps gain followers on his other YouTube videos which are probably as stupid.      And here we are feeding his ego and filling his piggy bank.

Well, one of his stunts may become his epitaph.

I wasn't sure if he added that part afterwards to warn others not to do it before he did it.

Well, the tractor was undamaged for that segment of the video, but it may have been repaired.

I didn't pay attention to if the tractor was damaged or not

I guess the guy reached out to Youtuber Tractor Mike:
