I guess his escape from the spider didn't impress his white sensei.

I don't *want* to do that, but I can conceive doing it.
by the way, I noticed the red tape on his takeoff platform indicating the direction he should aim upon takeoff. but for fuck's sake, why didn't they square off the edge of the platform so that when he pushed off the edge, he didn't get an extra bump to the left. our feet are exquisitely designed and sensitive to forward propulsion. jumping off of a slanted surface in this case is an avoidable complication. [/quibble] scary fucking jump.

Red Bull sponsors a lot of this stuff. I wonder how often there are Red Bull stunt failures? You don't see any that make it public.

They've had a couple crashes at their air shows but it's always reported as pilot error, or a tragic accident, never the pilot was hopped up on Red Bull. Also, they sponsor a lot of events where the contestants are doing such stupid shit, people automatically blame the contestant when the screw up.

Aside from the costumes etc., where and what are those huge cement structures. ?
They remind me of baffles in a waterway to break up wave or tidal surges, but that's probably not what they are... |

Not sure what they are for, but it's an airfield - West Malling in Kent.
Carruthers might be able to identify their purpose.

Quote:
They were sited on the airfield perimeter track where aircraft were dispersed and refuelled. I assume that they were constructed in order to contain the blast should an armed and fully fuelled aircraft explode either by accident or design rather than to deflect jet efflux. Such structures are angled so as to deflect jetblast upwards and wouldn't be as robust as these concrete walls. ETA: Just giving the subject a little more thought, the walls would also provide a degree of protection from attack.

And maybe to protect others from jet exhaust in a crowded area.
