glad the damage is fairly minor.
around here they like to "shake out" a large towel or small blanket and try to catch your front end. apparently it is hilarious entertainment. not sure what they'll do if they ever catch one. I"ve had it done to me multiple times, not fun but at least it's more avoidable then a flying can. |

Jebbus, man - that's one of the most randomly malicious things I've ever heard of. Like everyone else, I'm glad it didn't hit YOU - that could have easily been fatal in the wrong spot! The douchebag deserves the beatdown of his/her life!!
Oh - and you're right about the effective impact speed/kinetic energy being additive (minus decel. due to air resistance). 'Had dynamics' and understanding vector mechanics are obviously two different things. Last edited by Kerry_129; 09-28-2009 at 11:23 PM.. |

Was your route near a school? Go patrol the nearest high school parking lot during school hours for that blazer.
