Official YouTube Video Thread

That was one of the best things I've watched in a while.

 

In a long while.

 

Every time I see these types of videos, two things really irk me...
- The waves, tho' massively impressive, are never the real killers. I always looked forward to the one that would put blue water over the bridge...it rarely happens and, if it does, either no one caught it on camera or the vessel is at the bottom of the sea.
- The camera operator. If they wanted to show just how mightily impressive waves can be, they would mount the camera solidly so you could see the ship hog, sag and twist as it negotiates the "terrain". It's a feeling unlike anything else watching a wave coming at you through the ship itself and, when it finally arrives at your feet, the realization that these waves can and will wreck you, if you're stupid.

 

I don't think they're making those videos from people like you. They're making them for people like me. This is enough to convince me to never be on one of those things.

 

Do you have the same opinion of aircraft after watching the vids you've posted of dodgy landings?

 

Aircraft never made me sick. I am pretty sure six-foot waves on a small boat would have me beat in under one minute.

 

It's the same principle as flying. If you don't know where the horizon is, you're going down.

 

I was thinking it was the fear factor not the vom-scale. The funny thing for me is that if it's really rough I'm OK but a moderate swell and I start to feel a little queazy.

 

It's a combination of height and zero gravity conditions on my stomach. I have been very uncomfortable on the roof of a dive boat in conditions where I would have been perfectly fine on a personal watercraft.

So that high-altitude shit in the cargo ship video… just kill me now.

 

Big boom.

 

A very British useless machine, methinks...

 

If you need some tranquility in this crazy world:

 

I finally found some televised sports I can watch.
Turns out I'm more of a track and field kinda guy.

 

You sick perverted . . .
