As someone who works around blowing jets, standing behind one at full power is the last thing I want to do. I hope every one of those idiots gets their head cracked open on those cement blocks. We don't need those morons in the gene pool.

Couldn't agree more. When I look at some of those vids and those dingbats thinking "what a rush" behind a B747 or similar winding up, stupidity is my first inclination.

Agree with you TeePeeCreeper. Sounds like a certain mustachioed guy from the 1940's ranting and raving, who thought ovens were the answer to humanities imperfections.

Yeah and I'm sure they'd probably like to see you run down by a luggage cart. Real classy wishing serious injury upon people. We might as well add bungee jumping, skydiving, race car driving, aerobatics, and anything else thrill seekers want to do to the list of those you wish serious injury upon. :roll:

All those things have certain levels of safety built into them. Hanging onto a rickety fence with your weak, boney fingers while a 747 spools up in front of you is just stupid and dangerous. I want to shake the mans/womans hand that put that concrete barrier there, keeps the fools on the island. Permanently.

Frosti is quite right. It is extremely dangerous and deadly- which happened and IMHO, very stupid activity.I imaging that rickety fence is probably on its last legs and the next 4 engine beast that winds up that fence will let go with all the stupid people attached and sling it on the beach on top of the rest with deadly results. This should be a real good wake up call down there for authorities to step in with some type of action plan. Say what you will about Canada but this type of situation/activity wouldn't be permitted.

You stated your opinion. I responded with mine in regards to an attitude that wishes harm to those who don't recognise the danger
of their actions. Your response is exactly what I expected from you.

All at the mercy of the equipment being used. Dangerous and foolish? Yep. 100%. I still wouldn't wish death or serious injury on anybody who decides to try it out and certainly see things differently than anybody who does. And trust me....I see a lot of stupid shit in my line of work and saw just as much when I was in the Forces.
