Kip Powick Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Typical British calm demeanor..At about 27-28 seconds in the "crash" video, as the commentator sees that the glider is about to attack the ground like a lawn dart, he says "Please don't do that".

moeman Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Why the firetruck? It's a glider, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Powick Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Why the firetruck? It's a glider, isn't it?I think it is a "crash-rescue" truck, not necessarily a 'fire' truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Cronin Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 ....I'd say that poor sod has a very sore bum now... maybe even a broken one... (can you break your bum? ...coccyx maybe? I doubt he feels very lucky... he screwed up good, and trashed a good little glider, in front of a crowd. ....and broke his bum! (maybe)...as me Mum would say, poor li'le fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
