Sooner or later one of these pranksters is going to get killed on camera.

"DUDE! This going to get us so many hits!"

 

[DarkAudit]

Doubt it will make it onto youtube in that case, though.

Heck, it might have already happened.

There's always Vimeo or Dailymotion.

Man, look how fuckin' big that guy's legs are. His calves are as big around as the prankster's waist. He's a monster. Why are you "fake" threatening a monster?

[drifter]

I'm guessing the outtakes are faked. Nobody gets really hurt, and if some random is gonna get violent, you gotta figure at least one of them would start stomping.

When your youtube prank goes hilariously wrong.

Whoa, that guy is pretty strong. It's like they picked the worse possible target.

Ah, yes. the Westwood, MA truck-eating bridge.

There's another one in Durham, NC that's struck about once a month. They can't raise the trestle, and there's a sewer line underneath, so they can't lower the road. Best option was to put an I-beam a few feet away at the same height to protect the structure.

Guy has a YouTube channel, and set up a second camera this year to document all the canopener craziness.

That's the one I think of whenever I think "truck-eating bridge."

The one in Enid, OK got so bad they painted a shark mouth on it. It still gets hit.

"The condition of the driver was not immediately available."
I'm guessing his condition was ultimately upgraded to FIRED.

Can't speak for all of them, but that one up there? Clearly marked narrow and low and the height's on the panel. Anyone driving into it with a truck is an idiot.

 

[jwhouk]

Inattentive Driving is probably the common factor in all of those.

The ones with the RV's, though - that's just stupidity.

Hah, this time I managed to rescue it out of my browser cache.

 

[GasBandit]

Excuse me while I jump out of this helicopter to body-tackle a marlin.

"Middle-aged white guys."

Did you know there's a video? Because there is (for as long as it stays up).
Also, you really might not want to click on that if you're at work or in public. I guess. I haven't actually watched the video yet, since I'm still at work.

Wish I could find the original vid, but it's still cute.

Weird. Tried Chrome, which had never visited HF on this install. Blank and blank. Tried... *shudder* Edge. OP blank, but saw it in my reply. Cleared cache in Firefox and there it was. *shrug*

I suspect imgur shenanigans.

Must be. Clearing the firefox cache on the home desktop didn't work.
