worst ride related video i've seen..

[jayman]

i'm not sure what happened here, but this looks like a serious malfunction during a tower ride rescue... warning, it loks pretty graphic and i don't know thwe details, http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/rolle ... agedy.html

Yeah, this happened quite a while ago. The ride malfunctioned, so some men went up on a cherry picker to try and free people from thier seats. As they where doing that, the ride all off a sudden sprung back into life trying to lower the carriage and as you can see, bringing the cherry picker down with it. As far as i know the men that fell survived

wow, that's good news... i had a feeling the people in those seats got pretty messed up too, but i'm glad they all survied.

This was just posted in another topic, or was this one first?

i dunno.. hey is that an old picture of geezer?

Mine? Thats Dimebag Darrell, one of the best guitarists in history IMO.[worship]. I got to see him for the first time just three weeks before he was killed, so he's been my real inspiration to get really good (at guitar) over the last year or so.

oh.. i agree with you there,even though i'm not a big fan of stunt guitar, but he was something of a phenomenon, i even own a pantera album for reference. he certainly was skilled though, i've been doing repairs at a guitar shop that carries his signature pedals... the guy certainly knew what he was doing.. it sucks that he got killed... i still think he looks a little like geezer butler back in the days when black sabbath was good .. before "diiiiiiiiiiOOOOOOOOOOOOO"...........

Ack, we had a dicussion on that video at Tn and some of came to the conclusion that those rescures were un prepared and were stupid.
