indosnm 0 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I am forever in amazed that in 100km+ winds people will still try to use umbrellas? In a country that is used to typhoons one would think that people would be a little bit more clued in. These people ( that the news showed) were 9 times out of 10 women. Are they stupid?

Ocean11 0 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 On the TV news, they showed some skinny old dude trying to ride a pushbike in traffic with an umbrella up. Smart move Grandad. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 It makes watching TV that more fun seeing those umbrellas go pop. Why they use them in Lighting storms is another question in its self also. Lets also look at the people driving in floods where are you going most likely your going to get washed away.

nzlegend 1 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Great minds think alike Indo, I had a thread last year about this exact same thing. http://www.skijapanguide.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=001612#000000 It never ceases to amaze me, the media love showing it too, a good dose of schadenfreude .

Ocean11 0 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 You can get schadenfreude now in bottles at quality booze outlets. Of course it's not cheap... Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 what gets me though is every time there is a big typhoon you can be guaranteed that somebody will fall off their roof and die while rying to get better tv reception or something. some people have no common sense. or are they just plain stupid Link to post Share on other sites

stripper on coke 0 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 from what I've seen, I'd say their typoon sense is right up there with their water (surf) sense and also their road sense...... there must be some way to point out that very strong wind can be dangerous (and I'm talking about typoon strong wind......ha ha ha)....

scouser 4 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 maoriboy - they need their tv to see all the hightlights of the Olympics and all the kandoteki scenes of Japanese athletes doing their stuff (for the 56839493th time). Can't you see? Link to post Share on other sites
