Taking granny for a spin like a pro.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I probably asked the same question the first time I saw this video: why the spinning? And what is preventing this from happening usually?

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 6 days ago

My uneducated guess is that someone put the rope on the barrel by hand and twisted it in the process.

Final training session for high g maneuvers. She's ready to be a pilot now!

There’s no way she survived??

Edit: looked it up, she totally did. Lasted 60 seconds. Looks pretty rough.

[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Looked pretty close to a red-out.

[–] qwerty@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She survived and settled for $450k.

[–] Hathaway@lemmy.zip 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Probably just enough to cover the cost of the helicopter she didn’t want.

This feels like a sarcasm but sadly I know it's not.

That's not very funny, the lady is probably scared shitless

[–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I dunno the faster it spun the harder I laughed. I'm not laughing at the lady just the absurdity of the situation.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

So where is grandma?

She went for a spin with the pros.

Comedy is merely tragedy happening to someone else.

Comedy = tragedy + time

This is the first real LOL I've had for quite a while, thanks.
