Where you guys find this crap is beyond me. I love it....but...yeah, I love it.

Looks like a graduation celebration dance.

It's my Happy Dance.
Maybe.
Well, at least in spirit.

It's fortunate the glass used was safety glass, but why was it there?

The window the kid jumps through is an advertising board that does not have the advertisement placed in it yet. The video is from a surveillance camera and location is Toledo-Paraná, Brazil.

As for the advertising board, I really never paid much attention to them but we do have some of them in Tucson.

Here is a similar advertising board in Costa Rica. The sign in the glass is supposed to say, "If you love wild animals, keep them wild," but, "Si quiers a los animales mantenlos salvajes." means, "If you want the animals, keep them wild."

I was a little surprised a small kid could break a piece of safety tempered glass. I was expecting to see him bounce off of it but there are enough youtube videos of people accidentally running into really thick glass doors by accident, and breaking them, to make a believer out of me... they do break sometimes.

Here is a video of a big guy deliberately running through 15 tempered glass panes in a row. => https://youtu.be/GNhxAyvdmHM

Wayne,
There is some weird stuff in that link you give just above. Fun too.

Great information as always Wayne. It sure doesn't take much to entertain the troops these days or become a record breaker. Sheeeezeeee. Now, if those were non-safety glass panes that would be different......stupid.....but different.

How much does tempered glass cost?
Average Price: Tempered/impact-resistant - $12-$14 per sq. ft.
4' x 8' = 32 sq ft. 32 x $12 = $384
15 panes x $384 = $5,760
Plus the cost of the frames, plus paying someone to clean up the broken glass.
We could buy a nice O gauge engine for $5,000.

Maybe 2!

I think in the USA. That would call for glazed glass.

With hex grid wire, and sharks with laser beams, and dogs that when they bark bees come out of their mouths.......and a highly focused x-ray pumped laser system.

Wayne, I love your analogy. Keeping things in the proper perspective!

Where is the EXIT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD located?

If you dig straight down from anywhere in the 48 contiguous United States, you'll come out in the Indian Ocean.

Better be able to swim if you try this.

While true, I don't know the location of the sign so the exit point is equally unknown

Gets me wondering about sliding glass doors. What kind of glass are they made of? I've seen our cat run into a door, when there was some juicy prey in the yard. I've walked into a door; I dare say lots of folks have. Where I live now, if I pull my blinds up, birds will crash into the door, since there's a mirrored door on the closet facing the sliding glass door. (I'm on the third floor, so they see sky.)
