There’s always that guy
Ba ba ba bum! Two, Three, Four!
Back when people knew how to party!
the Curtis JN-4 “Jenny” cruised at 40-60 mph, slow enough for wing-walkers to stand despite airflow. this photo has Ivan Unger and Gladys Roy miming a tennis match.
Gladys died at 25 years old in 1927 when she distractedly walked into the spinning propellor of a plane on the ground.
Yeah we had strict rules in the Army about never, ever walking around or behind the tail of a helicopter. You always, always, always walk around the front. Guess why we had that rule?
Every time I see interesting/silly rules, it always reminds me that someone probably died before the rule was created.
And when it inevitably leads to an accident: See?! Airplanes aren’t safe! Can’t even play ping pong on it!
