Beautiful Toboggan Ride Through The Swiss Alps

Beautiful Toboggan Ride Through The Swiss Alps

This is a video from a 10km (~6.2 mile) toboggan trail in the Swiss Alps. That looks like a good time, complete with some relatively high speed straightaways and hairy turns. For reference, the longest sled ride I’ve ever taken was from the top of the hill at the local middle school, to the bottom of the hill at the local middle school, or about 200 feet. “He still peed his pants though.” Honey! “What?” I told you, I drank a bad Red Bull!

Crash Test Footage Of ‘One Of The Most Unsafe Cars Ever Produced’

Crash Test Footage Of 'One Of The Most Unsafe Cars Ever Produced'

This is some crash test footage of a JAC E-JS1 from Chinese car manufacturer JAC Motors, which spectacularly fails all the tests with flying colors bodies. It scores zero stars, and a 0% adult occupant protection rating. So if you own a JAC E-JS1 and were wondering what your coffin is going to look like, you’re driving it. But does it have seat warmers? That’s all I really care about.

Flying A Giant Kite Indoors

Flying A Giant Kite Indoors

Because who needs wind, this is a video of kite-flier Spence “Watty” Watson flying a custom kite he built for the indoor audience at the recent 2023 South Padre Island Kite Fest in Texas. How do you fly a kite indoors with no wind? You run around, because you are the wind…beneath my wings. I mean that, happy Valentine’s Day, what did you get me? I like chocolate AND edible underwear, but NOT chocolate edible underwear, that’s a disaster and my girlfriend thought I pooped the bed, which I actually might have in the panic.

Tour Of A Very Impressive Permanent LARPing Village

Tour Of A Very Impressive Permanent LARPing Village

This is a video tour of the permanent Duché de Bicolline LARPing village built in Quebec, Canada. The area includes “hundreds of wooden structures, tent villages, a fort, and a battlefield.” This is a tour taken during setup for The Grand Battle 2022, at which time cars and cell phones and cameras were still allowed. But once the LARPing begins, technology is off-limits and you have to record whatever happens with your memory alone. Which is a shame, because I plan on showing up as a level 140 Warlock and decimating that village with Magic Missiles this year, I only wish I’d be able relive it on Youtube.

Streaker At PGA Golf Tournament Bellyflops Into Water Hazard

Streaker At PGA Golf Tournament Bellyflops Into Water Hazard

These are a couple videos from the PGA’s Waste[d] Management Phoenix Open in Scottsdale, Arizona (where spectators start drinking at 9AM and go all day) of a mulleted streaker running across the course and bellyflopping into the water hazard on the 18th hole. He then swims across the pond before being arrested for “trespassing, disorderly conduct, and failure to obey orders from a law enforcement officer.” A small price to pay for being featured on BornInSpace, I imagine him thinking. Also, “What’s Borninspace?”

Water Balloon Hat In Ultra Slow Motion

Water Balloon Hat In Ultra Slow Motion

This is a video of a man who looks like he goes to a climbing gym very briefly wearing a water balloon for a hat, filmed in ultra slow motion. The way it conforms to his head but doesn’t pop, that’s wild. Watching the footage at regular speed you wouldn’t guess it would be worth watching in slow motion, but you’d be wrong. Now I want to watch everything in life in slow motion to see what I’ve been missing. Is that an available super power? What do I need to do, eat a stopwatch? “You have to put it up your butt.” Oh sure, just like the model airplane was supposed to make me fly?

Thanks to JustA, who agrees dude briefly looks like the lead singer from Jamiroquai in their ‘Virtual Insanity’ music video.
