    Ethan as usual being the only one that knew how dangerous that was. A pond on a warm day is no problem. A frozen pond at 20 degrees is an entirely different animal. When your whole body hits that water, you tense up, panic, etc. Easy to drown without having experienced and trained what to do in that situation. Hopefully the pond wasn't too deep to pose an actual threat.

The dangers of electricity in a standard house outlet for example, is not independently just the voltage, it is current that gets you. The battery won't harm you in any way with regards to getting electrocuted as it doesn't have the current capabilities to do so, let alone in such a big pond. In fact, the acid poses more a threat to you.

Had this happen to us on several occasions while racin 2 strokes with some quite ‘ close shave’ near misses . If it breaks on the chain side it can potentially flick round with the chain taking your elbow with it !!!!! If the breaks go a bit numb ( always do ) theirs a special break bleeding reservoir that eradicate trapped air . ❤🇬🇧

    I love your guy's shenanigans. I can be having a bad day. Watch one of your videos, get a laugh. And then the days not so bad

    You should build a dirt kart championship and build an off road kart track. It could be huge!
