good lord.

to my understanding, the worst (nightmare) scenario here is that this absurd approach won't die quickly, though it will not succeed. that it will just linger, harming students (and potentially good, enthusiastic teachers) before being discarded as the waste of time it unquestionably is.

Makes me seasick watching it...Story at CNBC.

Why the fuck would you try landing in 75 mph winds?

ETA: One of the commenters says the vid was sped up. IDK.

They'll get some swift boaters to give them glowing reviews, and keep moving along like carny hucksters.

I guess his escape from the spider didn't impress his white sensei.

I don't *want* to do that, but I can conceive doing it.

by the way, I noticed the red tape on his takeoff platform indicating the direction he should aim upon takeoff. but for fuck's sake, why didn't they square off the edge of the platform so that when he pushed off the edge, he didn't get an extra bump to the left. our feet are exquisitely designed and sensitive to forward propulsion. jumping off of a slanted surface in this case is an avoidable complication.

scary fucking jump.

Red Bull sponsors a lot of this stuff. I wonder how often there are Red Bull stunt failures? You don't see any that make it public.

They've had a couple crashes at their air shows but it's always reported as pilot error, or a tragic accident, never the pilot was hopped up on Red Bull. Also, they sponsor a lot of events where the contestants are doing such stupid shit, people automatically blame the contestant when the screw up.
