Grant Denyer, Funny as....
 
Apparently, this has gone viral. (Yup, another one.:rolleyes:)

Moment Weatherman Grant Denyer passes out in stunt plane on Live TV 2/19/2013 - YouTube

Still think this one sets the standard though...

It's a shame the :mad: weather muppet woke up.............

Ejector 22nd Feb 2013 00:34

That breakfast TV guy looks really annoying. :ugh:

500N 22nd Feb 2013 01:50

He can be.

Other times he is quite good and he certainly has some
balls considering the stunts he has done, most of which
are world records.

Ultralights 22nd Feb 2013 01:57

4000 views, does not make a video viral.

Allan L 22nd Feb 2013 02:12

There is another posting of the same clip though that has 70,000+ views. So viral, probably yes!

Races at Bathurst,
Wants to have a go at 8 g's,
I had to laugh when I saw a rival weather dude (another person of *ahem* smaller stature) standing next to a monster truck paddock claiming, "We go where other weather forecasters fear to tread."

Grant busted his back jumping one....

Seen worse presenters...

Wally Mk2 22nd Feb 2013 06:55

..........sure Grants a bit of a goose (they all are)but by the looks of things plenty here still watch him!:-)
The weather segment on any commercial crap TV station/s is for entertainment value only, no more no less.

Have you had a go at 8g Wally? or are you just a Wally??

Ultralights 22nd Feb 2013 09:59

im slowly getting used to "G" 5.5 sustained and i start seeing in B&W.

VH-XXX 22nd Feb 2013 10:30

I hope he was watching the G meter :ok:


The Extra 300 is stressed for ±10 G with one person on board and ±8 G with two. Some Extra 300s are certificated in the Experimental Category in the U.S., while others are certificated in the Aerobatic category.[2]
From Wikipedia. Grant only counts as .5 of a pax ;)

Clearedtoreenter 22nd Feb 2013 10:31

8G is certainly a fair bit for any length of time without a G suit. Good on him.

500N 22nd Feb 2013 11:51

I was going to put his racing career. He is a fully qualified driver
and I think races Holden Utes plus Bathurst.

He does make the weather interesting and certainly fits with
the Seven "team" quite well.

MakeItHappenCaptain 22nd Feb 2013 12:06

Not ragging him at all,

Good on him for having a go!

The Old Bold Pilot 22nd Feb 2013 19:55

He's probably experienced 8g once before (in a different direction)....The time he put Dick Johnsons V8 Supercar into the wall at Adelaide a few years back.

Keg 23rd Feb 2013 09:29

I love how Denyer is out like a light and Matt Hall is chatting away like it's a 1.2G 40 degree angle of bank roll.

VH-XXX 23rd Feb 2013 09:37

I was impressed how Denyer was chatting away shortly after like nothing had happened. I haven't blacked out in an aircraft before however I would think I'd take longer to recover than he did.

Fantome 23rd Feb 2013 09:42


I haven't blacked out in an aircraft before

. . . before what?

VH-XXX 23rd Feb 2013 10:03

Sorry Grammar Police. I haven't blacked out in an aircraft.

Keg 23rd Feb 2013 10:42

Recovery from G-LOC is normally pretty quick. There are lots of videos online that show how quickly people come back once the G comes off.
