Craftsman commercial a couple years back for those that want to know. The gif is missing the best part I think though. The maintenance guy pushing the toolbox gets me every time.

Yeah, every time I see "DO NOT ATTEMPT. CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT" I think of Craftsman.

That commercial always bothered me. What could break in a springboard that would increase the amount of force coming from it?

[–]Sacamato 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I believe the idea is that Craftsman tools are so awesome, the maintenance guy using them actually made the springboard far stronger than it needed to be.

[–]DoubleSuperBuzz -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Or far stronger than the laws of physics allow.

[–]NorthStarTX 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That kind of malfunction could easily happen if a spring kept under high tension were suddenly released from that tension, but to get what you saw here the tensioner would have needed to be incredibly stout. At that point, good luck getting the spring to depress to launch the guy under normal operation.

[–]karlomarlo -5 points-4 points ago

I have this dream, when I'm sober, all the time. I take a quick jump or step and then seem to float endlessly. Sometimes I go vertical and I enjoy the feeling until I'm about to fall, then the shit gets real.

I haven't laughed this hard in a while...if only because it reminds me of when people used to double jump me on the trampoline back in the day-- that's a pretty accurate representation if you replace table with "OH GOD THE GRASS STAINS!"

When I was 7, I started to wear a retainer. I wore it till I was 13. About two months after that, I was double jumped on a trampoline and flew face first into the uncovered metal bar on the side. Three of my top front teeth form an almost perfect semicircle as a result.

How I WISH I had hit the ground. A broken arm would have been much better.

FYI, if you pause the YouTube clip where you want people to 'start' seeing it, then click "Share" and "Options", it'll give you a link so that the viewer automatically starts the video at the point you paused it.
