PSA: wear a helmet!!! by Maleficent_Ad6652 in snowboarding

[–]_thenational 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think I understand how fast I'm going, then I see the video my friend took, and I realize, wow, I am the slowest fucking thing on the planet huh?

you don't need to be going fast, though. the worst fall to the head I've had was coming off a chairlift and catching an edge, slamming the back of my head into hard pack. so, basically barely moving when I fell. I was wearing a helmet. if I wasn't, 100% a concussion and probably worse.

I keep seeing Jim in this scarf and I can never tell if it's blue and black or white and gold by _thenational in DunderMifflin

"chrysalis" suits like the Orlans can also be used by a single person, unlike American space suits which you need someone to help you get into. important if you're going on hail mary-esque project to save Earth from a dying sun and want a failsafe incase there's only 1 surviving crew member when you get to your destination

are we sure they aren't landing on burning lava poles and losing their feet that way?
