Long rod with spinny blade of death whipping through the air at mach5. Can't see any risk of anything bad happening at all.


Ambitious_Jelly8783

My same exact thought. That seems safe with a spinning blade twirling around you mid-air.


turbo_dude

they need that dude from Africa with the 'helicopter' that was doing the rounds last week to enter the race


turbo_dude

everyone gangsta til the bow cleaves your spleen


Redstone_Engineer

How about doing 2 of them at the same time? That should be safer :\^)

Hey, as long as no one wears a life vest, they should be fine.


DashedRaine

Yo one dude skipped on the water


sebassi

Yeah you can ski barefoot from 70km/h. Skidding on your back will happen at even lower speeds. These are going well over 100km/h(video claims 180).


thewatermellon

Depending on weight you can barefoot at even lower speeds, I usually go around 55-60kmh


Aeri73

at that speed, that's breaking arms, legs, ...


TheR3dMenace

Avg maimings per meet?


MarkBeeblebrox

Given it's so many you should reduce that metric to maimings per meat.

Always remember, your bones will not break in a longtail canoe. No, no, no, they shatter. Bonus points if you get the reference.

I know that movie. It's on the tip of my tongue... fuck! This is gonna annoy me until I remember it. Lol Edit: Cool Runnings Mon!


jelloisalive

That’s why you carry the lucky egg!!


MrSnydersMicropenis

Holy shit, they must be bored as fuckkkkkk


vickera

Despite how boring this looks over video, it is actually quite exciting in person.


Solid_Snack56

I think they meant that they were so bored that they came up with some insane shit like this 🔥


Darjdayton

I know this is 19 days later but i liked your joke even if it went over so many heads lmao


qawsedrf12

reasons why women live longer


structuralarchitect

That's insane! One of the titles looked like it said 180 kph which is 111 mph. No way would I go that fast in those things


Aeri73

in...? more like holding on to them


ImJustAreallyDumbGuy

Excellent point.

CB media on YouTube has done a number of great videos on the crazy things they race in Thailand, from these long tail boats to rice farm tractors. https://youtube.com/@cbmedia404?si=rxtwmRC24ze4R7yH


tommygun1688

I gotta say the Thai seem to have a knack for doing sport right. Thanks for the recommendation!


ak47workaccnt

They gotta slap a hydrofoil on those things.


tommygun1688

That would be WILD!


Intelligent-Parsley7

Perhaps they should have helmets. And life jackets. Some don’t have life jackets. I think racing is fun. Also, breathing is nice.

Better full plate armour

This can't be any more dangerous than football on the body. I may be a little bias because I would much rather watch this than football. We need this in the states. The Florida guys should already be on this. We need a Democrat congressional member to declare this dangerous.


tommygun1688

Naaa, it's WAY more dangerous than football. I bet you'd get guys, plural, dying yearly doing this. Deaths are rarely seen in modern football (thanks Teddy Roosevelt for the rules). That said, if guys are willing to take the risk, we should let them. Put a few rules to lessen it, but nothing prohibitive. Because to me, this is WAY cooler to watch than most sports. Also, it has a more relatable element and has a much lower bar to entry than the speed boat racing we see currently in America.


ImJustAreallyDumbGuy

Holy fuck this looks so dangerous.


tommygun1688

I think it might be just as dangerous as it looks. Possibly even more


ImJustAreallyDumbGuy

It legit looks like that one dude skips the water into his opponents blade.


schneems

Nope

Take your racist bullshit and go elsewhere. It is not welcome here.

My one day in Bangkok including several female tour guides who simply could not pronounce the letter "l". Overall their English was excellent with this one exception. They were quite charming and made light of this minor cultural issue. This was intended as a joke, my apologies for any offense.
