    If a system or vehicle has already gone beyond its normal bounds of operation, and is endangering the lives of those around it or in it, what does it matter what kind of damage occurs to the system or vehicle when it needs to come to a complete halt NOW?

    Components can be repaired or replaced, people cannot.

  • I believe Aerated Cement is a better explanation of what it is.

  • The material is a lightweight, crushable concrete that compresses on impact. There aren't any "stones" to be sucked into any engines.

  • Wouldn't the problem of using these artificial stones is that they can be sucked into the engine and thereby causing immense damage? I wish videos like these would talk about the disadvantages instead of promoting themselves as definitively advantageous.
