Final training session for high g maneuvers. She's ready to be a pilot now!

There’s no way she survived??

Edit: looked it up, she totally did. Lasted 60 seconds. Looks pretty rough.

She survived and settled for $450k.

[–] Hathaway@lemmy.zip 29 points 18 hours ago

Probably just enough to cover the cost of the helicopter she didn’t want.

I probably asked the same question the first time I saw this video: why the spinning? And what is preventing this from happening usually?

My uneducated guess is that someone put the rope on the barrel by hand and twisted it in the process.

That's not very funny, the lady is probably scared shitless

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

So where is grandma?

She went for a spin with the pros.

Comedy is merely tragedy happening to someone else.

Comedy = tragedy + time
