@marcx3333 < If you were a firefighter you'd automatically recognize BUMPER SHOCK. Magnesium in the wheels? Are you high?

That is why the angle of approach is 45 degrees...

@drbackjack Your probably right.

Your sarcasm meter needs adjustment.

@drbackjack How could you even remotely think that its a piston?Lets just entertain the thought for a second. What would make a piston fly out of a car? Nothing like that and lets say it was,it wouldn't come out of the front of the vehicle,it would come up out of the hood. This was the pressured shock on the bumper just like all the other guys have said. I've seen this a few times in the fire dept and as said elsewhere, thats why you attack from an angle.

After having been in the fire service for 35 years and holding every position from Chief on down, I can guarantee that it is not a piston. It is one of the energy absorbing shocks found in 5 mph bumpers. These scare the bejesus out of you when they go off and can kill you if they hit you. Car have all kinds of things that don't take to well to heat. The funnist one is to have a rookie standing next to a tire that blows, they fill their diapers. Be Safe

Are we sure this wasn't a bumper? Sometimes bumpers can do that when a car's on fire and blow off.
-
Thats why you always come in from a 45 degree angle :) Got to watch out for those darn shock-absorbers.
-
Everyone relax... That was an exploding shock-absorber in the front bumper.. We are trained to attack vehicle fires as 45 degree angles to avoid the danger zone... stay safe

Thats not a bumper, its a piston.

@FuckinCrazyness yes, because a 15 pound motor piston flying at mach 5 wouldnt hurt at all. sorry theres no death in this video so its not "hardcore"
