WTF? I saw a couple of videos of these. In most cases they are pointed straight up. I don't see how they could be powerful enough to work, but I definitely wouldn't believe that they'd do anything if they weren't pointed straight up.

It's amazing how frequently this stuff happens. You'd think these folks that keep doing this would have seen enough videos of folks losing control to pause.

LOL! In this case, the guy was bit in the arse by a snake, but it was a viper not a cobra.

If it had been a mustang, he'd have drifted into the closest small group of people. LOL!

I was driving home today, rural interstate, hardly any traffic, but the westbound interstate was getting ready to go from 3 lanes to 2. I was in the middle lane behind a State Trooper. A guy in a small GMC SUV was coming up fast (~100mph vs our 70) and saw the trooper at the last second, jammed on his brakes and ducked in behind the trooper. I think he was lucky, the trooper didn't do anything. 20 miles later, the same dingle berry was behind me (a bunch of us were) while a semi passed other vehicles at a glacial pace in the left lane. We get to a spot with a lane to exit, and the dingle-berry passes in the exit lane, jumps back in front of 2 semis and then aggressively brake checks the semi that I'm behind. I'd never seen anyone do that before. Seems like a bad idea. At least it didn't end badly.
