How annoying. The hobbies of the unconscious.

Ah, "What Could Possibly Go Wrong" uploaded another video. This must be the one where the family of four is skating on the river and the toddler gets hit like a Jose Canseco homerun and the driver is impaled poetically on a fallen tree limb. Viral video, here I come!

What's the cart? I want to spend what very very little money I have left on one

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Just basic racing Go-carts was what we were using (it was the winter race series), but it wouldn't need to be a fancy cart, just tires with super-short sheet metal screws in them - the same kind you use in shoes to make studded winter running shoes.

Does that son of a bitch have a drift stick on a go kart?

2 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

I think it's a "Shifter" kart. probably has just a couple gears to deal with the low torque at low RPM they normally have.

That looks fun. Not safe. But fun.

could be made safe enough with the right precautions. personally would like a group of 3-4 so that its more likely to spot eachother if something does happen, and someone can go get help while one remains to help. everyone havving a tool to break the ice with and some rope, and staying to an area where you checked the ice is about all you can do though and should render things quite safe.

The lack of safe is what makes it fun. You will be fine as long as you don't run out of talent.

Ehh once the ice is a 12 inches thick you'll be fine. Probably less as a go cart doesn't weigh the same as a real vehicle

Ice is not known for being soft or for having his traction... I think those are the key points here.

And then you wipe out because you misjudged your drifting abilities

It’s not the falling through the ice that worries me. It’s the sliding off into any of those trees and being fucking impaled

2 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

There are a *lot* of other ways this could be dangerous.

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Not safe due to the speed? Might be sped up. As per the frozen water, u can clearly see land on both sides even if u break through

I admire the confidence but rivers usually have currents that would take you under the ice very quickly. The at being said, I would totally still do this. That looks fun as hell.

Well id say not safe for kids playing on the river the driver missed...if they didnt notice/slipped, he cant really turn fast enough

10 20 30 miles or klms per hour speed will hurt you in someway if you crash into the trees, shrubs, rocks, ice etc.

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I don’t think it’s sped up, but here’s the source vid https://youtu.be/UQ3wnoQfLEs?si=wrEyWcDsPItHf1RS

No I agree I'm just saying it's prob fine. Other poster I was replying to said it's unsafe and was curious that they thought was unsafe

2 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Minecraft, either a mod or someone put a lot of work into a custom map

Not a mod, boats just have weird physics on ice.

I used to do this sort of whacky stuff during my Minecraft server operating days. We used to get dogfights by mounting and flying bats! No-

mods required. It was very intense. Until 2 versions later bat control was ruined.
