Good thing he wasn’t particularly gassy at that time

Wow, I admire the way you think. When writebastard said the nitrous was contaminated with sulphur dioxide, I’m like, ugh, no thanks! But you’re like, “sulphur dioxide at what concentration?”

I remember having seen a guide to bubbling your automotive NO2 through a solution of some kind to strip out the SO2.
I tried to google it but all I found was pictures of muscle cars and folks with balloons. Cool party, dude.

What a waste of all-to-hard-to-come-by NO2! Do you know how many people could have gotten off on the amount of nitrous they just threw away?! It’s criminal.
So manny fucking sinewaves. Rethink your audio, guys.
Did he black out from the blood rushing to his legs?
Yeah that looked a lot faster than anyone thought it would be. Contrary to the appearance, these shows have insurance on all the stunts and they are usually well thought out. I think that they should have tested with sand bags first, but obviously no one thought it would have gone that fast.
Also, what brand of Office Chair? Must be a quality one because a lot the POS ones around would have busted, I think.
Whats a sinwave? Well, in the context of your audio comment.

Oh. I see. Friends kid saw some of Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsey and was like, “What is all that beeping for?”
I said, “He’s part robot, and that is how they talk.”

I remember at college when a tank of nitric oxide was found missing. IIRC there were radio announcements made to return it, no questions asked.

I will admit, I’ve often pondered exactly how many deaths YouTube and GoPro are responsible for (not in the legal sense - in the sense of these people would be alive if the two company’s products did not exist).

Idiots entertaining themselves doing stupid shit in their yard is one thing.
The commercialisation of it as corporate entertainment is another. These folks are getting injured for other people’s profit. They’re getting paid to do it, but there is a reason we don’t allow rich people to organise gladiatorial spectacles anymore.
Depraved indifference manslaughter charge coming soon.

I was working in outdoor retail when GoPro first started selling helmet cams for climbers and kayakers.
We referred to them as our “auto-Darwin kits”.

I don’t know, but assuming two rotations per second (seemed that way to me, counting rotations against the video elapsed time) and a 3’ radius (assuming armchair Einstein was 6 feet tall and rotation was about his center), his head and toes were seeing close to 15g’s. Forget about the toes. Brain hemorrhage, anyone?

Yup.
Even without any collisions, the g’s alone on that could have easily been fatal. Rotational g’s are nasty, and the danger increases the longer they’re sustained.
Dude’s organs aren’t just being squashed, they’re being torn.

Automotive nitrous isn’t hard to come by at all, but if you huff it the vomiting will ruin the high.
