Pranks that Hurt People

[quote=Searz][quote=jhoijhoi] But this incident has jolted me into a reality I don't like. You always think, "This won't happen to me", but now that it has, you're far more aware of the world, and the potential dangers.[/quote] Oh geee. Now you're being silly again.. You where one of the maybe 10 people that where hit by an egg. How many times a year do you think a prank similar to this is pulled? Let's assume that it's 10. That's a rough 100 people affected a year. How many live in the area/town/w.e? 10.000 would probably be a good estimate. So you've got a 1% chance PER YEAR of being victim of a somewhat harmful prank. So the average person will probably be victim of such a thing maybe once in their life(once per 100 years). I am of course just using ballpark figures here, but it still gives a somewhat relevant picture of the numbers. The odds of this are abysmal and you should stop being a scaredycat about it. I mean, it's not exactly rape :P [quote]and feel triumph for doing so.[/quote] This is pure speculation. Don't state things you clearly have little idea about as facts. [quote=jhoijhoi] Interesting to see that 5 MobaFire people would willingly hurt someone else for a laugh.[/quote] The poll is kinda stupid, so don't expect it to be accurate..[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]I don't get what you're trying to say. If someone throws a brick off of a building and it narrowly misses me, am I supposed to be reassured that it won't happen again, due to the odds?[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden][quote=DillButt64] the hour after it happened [/quote] Sure, after it happened... Seems kinda shady to me you could be there with such short notice >.>[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]Aren't you kinda making a mountain out of a molehill? It might just be some person who made an egg-cannon who's testing it and hit your friend by accident. Even if it's someone who's pranking, what was the worst thing that could happen by getting hit by an egg >.>[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Like I said. It's not the egg that bothered me. It's the recklessness of it. Also, what's the worst that could happen? What if it hit an eye? Travelling at more than 60km/hr, an impact with an eye can cause permanent damage.[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]So it's travelling at more than 60 km/hr, that means its flight path is somewhat straight(how else would someone throw a 60 km/hr egg) there's quite some room for mistake between stomach and eye. The worst thing would be if it hit his nuts - which would be painful but not dangerous at that flight-rate. Don't think it's that wreckless tbh, sorray.[/quote]

[/quote] I think Jhoi was talking about the car that is traveling 60km/h :P[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]When you throw something from a moving vehicle, the two velocities are added, so car (60 km/hr) + throw (xx km/hr). Which is why I said minimum of 60 km/hr (speed limit of the road we were walking beside).[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites]of all the things to get butthurt over. I mean for fucksake, it's a bunch of kids acting stupid and trying to have fun. This is the most ridiculous overreaction i've heard in the past two weeks[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]coming from mooninites? lol. i only voted yes to see the results, btw.[/quote]
