Take a watermelon, drop it from chest height onto concrete, blacktop or whatever. That is what will happen to your head. Human heads split open just like watermelons or pumpkins.
23 years, and I have never seen this particular outcome.... just saying
Well after the uproar of the last guy not doing anything, and the trouble he is facing now, I am sure it was a wake up call for every guard across the country.
They'll be walking tall in that school for a while. To be honest, I found that news story more "eye catching" simply because the heading was different. At first you see "school shooting" and a piece of your heart dies ..... but the outcome is only the shooter is dead? Hell yeah... that was news! Good job.
so, intersting question ......
Is Uber at fault for this? Is it a default position or does it force everyone else, to obey traffic laws?
J-walking is now a death sentence if the car is autonomous, and god help you if you change lanes without signaling....
Correct, and adds to my arguement
Display MoreI have a friend who getting out of the bathroom slipped and cracked her head and was DOA at the hospital, another fell head first into a concrete driveway from a 2 floor deck and is alive and kicking.
Point is if you start thinking of What ifs..... you won't get out of bed.
As far as insurance goes they can't arbitrarily require you to wear a helmet when it is not required by your state law, I am not good at searching for old articles but there was a case(here in MN)back in 2010-2011 where Geico(?) tried pulling a fast one denying a claim due to someone getting decapitated when he ran into a tree with no helmet.
Family fought it in court and won, I remember it made quite a bit of noise at the time.
Thing is, this one would have been won by the simple facts alone, and not the helmet itself.
The nature of the injury, decapitation, means that the head was removed from the body, as such, it would have gone under the chin, and slid along under the helmet line. The helmet would have simply given a cut line to follow and would have done nothing to alter the outcome.
Today...
Well, here is an interesting thought....
In this day and age, Cyber Crime is an ever growing threat & reality. ISIS would love to hack a system where they could hijack a motor vehicle, and steer it into a crowd without the loss of their martyr I am sure.
Take control of one in New York, then LA, then Orlando.... Call it fear mongering, but I think anything that is becoming "Driverless" is cutting edge technology and so new that they don't even know what possible flaws exist in their system. It isn't like these thing operate with US Navel Drone security systems.
There.... that should generate some conversation.... 
Hi @MBMedic nice to talk to you again, yes all prices are in U.S.dollars and yes we are right on your way to buffalo lol have you seen that DDMWorks has been working on a new turbo package, we are very excited to be a Dealer for them, and we can offer complete installation on anyhting we sell as well!
Well since the loss of Alpha, (only an 8 hour drive from me), you now become the next closest Dealer to me, lol.
Won't be any time soon, but is in my future, and will keep you in mind.
Don't get me wrong, I love the work he did. I got the rear brake light cover through him with my forum name on it.
It was just that the follow-up and the excuses, (right or wrong), were just so frustrating as a customer that I wouldn't recommend him. I know that for others, their work that was commissioned was flawless, and so they have nothing but good things to say.
I did not have that experience.
@MiM is the Gently Used Guru. Perhaps he has some pointers.
Also, check out our For Sale spot here too. http://slingshotinfo.com/marketplace/
Hey, are you located right in the Sarnia / Port Huron area? Dude, that is going to be way too convenient having you on our route to Buffalo, lol.
Have to plan my mods with each trip down there, lol.
......... 
can almost taste a Turbo 
........ or at least... the bugs you eat from one
Site looks Great @kev
Definitely looking at your towing dolly. Question... (may have been asked already)... are your prices USD or CAD?
@LONERANGER7... I see you have @robert.piner aka slingfx vinyl decals... How was your experience with him?
Believe it or not (for others reading this)... I've been trying to get some items and there's been NO progress... Luckily haven't prepaid this time...
My experience with him last year wasn't stellar. It took months for delivery. According to him it was lost 3 times, 
, I got my order the 4th time.
Saw this a little while ago. Makes me excited to attend the Vegas Rally next month
Hey, did Henry throw in the Studded Tires for that thing?
lol, those are as bad assed as the Beast herself
Might have to make a trip down to the southern part of the state to see this beast in person!
That Beast is always worth checking out.
As Henry once said to me, That Slingshot sounds the way every Sling should.
Does anyone here use prescription sunglasses/riding glasses, if so where did you get them ?
I have prescription Sunglasses. Wanted to get into a pair of Oakley wrap style glasses, however I also have astigmatism and the wrapped lens didn't work for my prescription.
Ended up getting into a pair of Ray-Ban Sunglasses
I wondered if she went to a good home.
Oh you keep that baby looking, and sounding, great!
Being that I drive in snow and ice half the year, then play on back roads the rest, I can tell you that any kind of stability control, ABS, traction control is actually downright dangerous for a skilled driver.
Being from Manitoba, I definitely hear what you are saying here.
QuoteSame goes for accident avoidance, there are times when I have made a split second decision to avoid an animal in the dark that required a rapid series of way out of range inputs to the steering, throttle and brakes that an onboard control system would not have allowed me to make, because they are in themselves unsafe... Yet I made them...
There isn't however, any Emergency Services which will condone maneuvers which require you to out-steer your vehicle. Brake and keep your vehicle straight. It is always the safest course of action. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
Also, there is no insurance company that will cover you if you damage your vehicle because of those moves, and yet have no proof (animal hair / blood) to say you were dodging something to avoid an accident.
I am in no way questioning your skill level. This is just a rule of thumb that protects 99% of drivers out there. Remember that your vehicle itself has another purpose, and that is to protect its driver. In this day & age where someone could sue a company for not telling them that Cruise Control isn't Auto Pilot, AND WIN, is a world that is forced to have every possible safety feature in place just to protect their own ass, and if it inconveniences the remaining 1%, well so be it.
There....safety school speech over, lol.
I also have a Swingarm mounted hitch from Alpha
I haven't had a lick of trouble with their version 2.0 If you respect what you have behind you, you won't have an issue while towing it.
Yeah, I bought the clamp on baker wings, and am dealing with Baker directly to order the hardware and just trade out the gear and keep the same wings.
Thanks for the info.
