Why is he so lucky? Because he can post edit?

[–]smart_underachievers[S] 3 points4 points ago

well.. no, cause the whole not getting hit with a fender deal.. he is notorious for standing too close to explosions, in one of his videos (or maybe his second channel, i don't know) one of his camera men was hit by some shrapnel. this is straight from the source. if you watch the video you can see all the angles a slow-motion version, as well as one of the guys behind the scene responding to it. although he did seem pretty cool about it

You can see the piece of door switch angles right before it was about to hit the camera/cameraman. I've never seen anything going at such high velocity suddenly change angles so dramatically.

[–]smart_underachievers[S] 0 points1 point ago

is it really that unbelievable? that the piece of shrapnel hit the ground and changed directions, its not as uncommon as you'd think. not to mention that its dirt. i would say you would be correct if it maybe was concrete or something else like that, but not in this case.

[–]camelCasing 1 point2 points ago

Think about it, it's large and mostly flat, and impacted the ground. Air resistance alone would allow for a dramatic change of direction at high speed. I'm not saying this is definitely real, just that the behaviour of the door chunk is plausible.

On another note if you see the ground where the flying peices of metal bounce there is no damage to the grass which I would think there would be at least a little turf scratched up and a carved out a bit.

Adobe After Effects is a huge program.

You just ruined Santa for me

[–]smart_underachievers[S] -1 points0 points ago

possibly, but he does tend to stand too close to explosions. he has had camera men be injured by some. yes, it may be edited, but i think it isn't see as how there is the real time, another angle in slow motion, and as well as behind the scene reactions... but true, it may have been staged..

Well yeah you can say he's being an idiot by not watching Mythbusters enough.

[–]smart_underachievers[S] 1 point2 points ago

he totally is an idiot; but that is what makes it fun to watch his videos

[–]N307H30N3 0 points1 point ago

Kinda surprised... then again, not so much- he fits in great over here.

[–]smart_underachievers[S] 0 points1 point ago

you can hear his accent slip sometimes too; then you can really hear the american in it :P

[–]smart_underachievers[S] 1 point2 points ago

right hurr...

[–]f0rcedinducti0n 1 point2 points ago

That he gets to blow shit up or that he didn't get sliced in half by the flying fender?

[–]smart_underachievers[S] 0 points1 point ago

well.. both, but not getting hit by fenders is pretty cool

[–]smart_underachievers[S] 0 points1 point ago

actually it's a door

[–]CaptainFayski 0 points1 point ago

I would love to see a slow mo version of this

[–]smart_underachievers[S] 1 point2 points ago

[–]BlueSmeggy 0 points1 point ago

No he wasn't, a contributor to FPSRussia Keith Ratliff was shot and killed.

Story here...

[–]gu3sswhoiam121 0 points1 point ago

So is the guy who shot the guns dead or his friend?

[–]lindn -1 points0 points ago

That article doesn't even seem to know the facts.

It's the guy who brought the shooter guy the guns who got shot

[–]gu3sswhoiam121 1 point2 points ago

Ah okay. Thanks for clairifying.

[–]italiansausage05 0 points1 point ago

[–]degoban -1 points0 points ago

[–]kritical_w1n -2 points-1 points ago
