Because I have my level 2 first aid with St John's Ambulance we were going over a few scenarios in class while I was getting my certification....
In B.C., maybe 2 or 3 years ago a guy threw a wheel on that was rated for a lower RPM than he was running.... the wheel blew up, tore through his jeans, severed his femoral artery and he died.
And uhhh.... if that sentence seemed a bit off it's cause I just sat here for the past 5 hours reading all 700+ posts.
... and if you're having people over to see this thing I'd probably show up. I have other friends in Calgary so I wouldn't likely need a place to stay. Somehow I just have this feeling that pictures don't do this thing justice...
