25km/h ≈ 15.5 miles per hour

This is why we test things. What the FUCK were they doing standing so close‽‽‽

if you're worried about freedom units, we don't usually measure anything in feet per second but bullets.
We'd usually use miles per hour for something like this, and it'd be a relatively easy conversion from kph to mph as well. Otherwise I appreciate it a lot, I try to use metric for static measurements but when it comes to things like speeds since it's what I grew up with, I've just got a much better intuitive grasp of things like mph, and yeah it's easier to eyeball a mile than a kilometer.

Ouch. I wonder how that design iss supposed to work. is it just a sled w/ a brake or something?

But how many people can ride on top??

It stopped, didn't it?
varonicaED
Umm, never stand in front of a train you are stop testing? That's the lesson we take from this!

Something about building by the lowest bidder?
skibbyAU
I feel like this is the lowest bidder among a cohort of serially low bidders.

Result: Buffer didn't stop it. Tree did. Plant trees.
