[rileyescobarwarrack]

[ozzyozbern]

[godofacez]

[crazygirlsJAPLL]

@ozzyozbern

[medicplz]

2-3 people could stand on that tiny little thing...

[GlobeSkatecrew]

me and my friend just did this project and got 663 lbs

[thormxonly]

im doing it now and i kinda feel like pissing everyone off at my school you should tell me your specs and structure design

[CodyPuff]

Well thats why they have a circle stupid.

[mikerice126]

Very unsafe practice shown in this video. Please take the time to build a crusher to safely test your structure rather than following the example in this video. Not all structures will drop the weights straight downward when they fail. Some will topple the weight stack sideways, which could result in an impromptu "shockwave" test of someone's toes.

[MrJDotson13]

@mikerice126 as you were saying if you chose do it that way, i would have worn steel toe boots.

[hacksign23]

@mikerice126 omg not the 10 lb weights. Those are known for killing people. omg omg omg 10 lbs so scared

(the 45's, 35's and 25's definitely aren't going anywhere...)

my 8 in 15 gram balsa tower held 377.5lb, i just tested it today

[yurtyybomb]

my 41g balsa tower, about 45 inches tall, held 130 pounds. the max weight it could possibly hold for the test was 50 pounds, so I pretty much got jipped out of a better grade.

[ChhRiiSTIAN]

your mustve been braced real sucky

[tennischk9]

@yurtyybomb do you have any tips to make a good tower like yours? thanks :)

[tranman978]
