How To Test The Brakes On A Tank - YouTube




I would have been off like a Burglar hearing an Alarm Bell!

[kbrockman]

At last,finally I see that after the first 2 failed emergency braking exercises with the first 2 groups of cadets, the third attempt finally went as planned with the 3rd group of new cadets.

[Wensleydale]

And how many sets of skid marks I wonder?.....

[dctyke]

In a time when ac cannot fly over display crowds etc,it would not have taken much for that to have gone wrong. The authorisation trail would have been interesting................

[gr4techie]

I don't get why they did this?

[AtomKraft]

Because they're Germans.

[NutLoose]

Ha, you think that's hard, the Italians could do that in reverse.. :E

[racedo]

I don't get why they did this?

Following orders ?

Actually requires TRUST to do this and not bug out.

[kbrockman]

Because they're Germans.

Dutch, I believe.

[Buster Hyman]

They're French & were told they were standing on the Maginot Line...naturally, they believe that nothing would get past it...

No, the only requirement is total stupidity on the part of those who thought of it and those Darwin candidates taking part. Unless it's a fake of course.

Nope Buster, they won't be French, you wouldn't bother stopping :E

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

Brakes sometimes fail. This is stupid.

[SASless]

This does smack of Buster having a hand in the planning doesn't it?;)

Hey! I resemble that!

I have put my hand in many things, but this is not one of them.

They're French

They can't be French, that tank is going forward and no one is surrendering for a start.

[onetrack]

Good piece of stunting. The tank is actually on a video projected on a wall, and the blokes and gals are standing in front of the wall.

What's the old saying? "Believe nothing that you read, nothing that you hear, and only half what you see". :)

How do you know that they're not all heading away from the front line???

[captainsmiffy]

.....mooted here as a 'test of discipline'.......elsewhere on these forums they are seen as candidates for the 2014 Darwin Awards!

[Sun Who]

Irresponsible and indefensible.:=

Except the cunning Bosch would divert via Belgium and trundle round the side :ugh:

[LowObservable]

I remember a BBC documentary on the Foreign Legion. The trainees lay face-down in the road in a line, each with his head at the feet of the guy in front.

The tank drove down the line. If you didn't let the track touch your helmet you were a wuss.

Taught me a great lesson about deadlines!

Err, in that case why isn't the projected image also projected on the people in front of the wall? :E

[cameltruck]

In CGI land the video would be shot twice, once sans crowd and the other sans tank, then they would be blended together by a technician.

Note that no dust cloud moves over the crowd.

This clip was originally taken from the Dutch

As you can see someone suddenly got "cold feet"...


dumpert.nl - Leopard doet noodstop (http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/6582291/c5c82ad5/leopard_doet_noodstop.html)
picked it up from that "Photobucket-link".
The words in the first few seconds can be loosely translated as "it is filming now!".


Strong rumours are a class of an internationally well-regarded Dutch flying school was involved...

[Captivep]

Also note that no one walks back to the tank...
