im totaly down with safty gear, but lets face it living dangerusly is fun and chicks dig scars!!
but if it helps all i was watching a vid once were some kid took a tumble on some blades and bumped the old noggin and knocked himself out.. didnt look to major a fall... but there was blood poring out his head, the 'friend' with the vid cam lifted his head off the floor laffing his mate was unconcious...
the vid was removed due to, two hours after the fall the kid died... scary crap that you trip get knocked out and all your suppose friend is laffing just filming you die...
oh and the one story that honestly scared the crap out of me... a friend of an ex was telling me how when he was younger some mates were messing around and did a 'pig pile' on him, he broke his kneck but no one new and just thought he was a wuss for crying in the corner (he was at scouts at the time) once found out and in hospital they gave him anistetic to knock him out... but all it did was paralize him, he could feel everything but couldnt do anything about it. dolts drilled in his scull, opened up and spine pinned...
not fun...
stay safe people..
