This likely has been posted here before, but I found it quite interesting:

BillinOregon,

 Thanks for the video link.  Now, I know the difference between "white collar and blue collar workers"....  :P  Take a look at the video between 0:12 & 0:25.   ;D   It was nice to see but, I just thought it was funny. I have a strange sense of humor!

Thanks for posting the vid, Bill.


KABAR,
Speak of the Devil! When I noticed what intoodeep had mentioned, I made a guess that the video was made in South Africa. I checked the YT posters name, and lo and behold, here's the vid you mentioned in another thread the other day.

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

Kabar: I found that link in the "Mixed Bag" forum at Whitesmoke.za, a South African BP forum that I frequent.

Bill,
I'm a member on that forum, I joined looking for some information on South African artillery, but I haven't checked in for a spell.
