      Reasons to despise cops

      I'm rooting for all the soccer moms who drive that highway daily.  The fact that dude said he was brand new on that bike makes him all the more idiotic.

      WTF? (**NSFW**)

      By Lord Ratner · Posted

      Are we playing the you're probably not even a real pilot game? I'm the only non-anonymous pilot on this forum, you can do a search  😂🤣   Inferences? A quick review:   Now, point to the part where I said this was the fault of the pilots in the video? It's nowhere.  The follow-up:   Neat. This is like saying you might as well not hit the brakes if you're going 120 knots with 1000 feet left to the end of the runway on a long landing, because you won't stop in time. Sure, it's sorta true. But it's also stupid.  Another inference:   Aside from being incorrect (it was 15 seconds into the video when he jumped in. That's a loooooonnnggg time for engines to spool down), its irrelevant. Is it better to keep them running, or is it better to shut them down? It's not always a lunatic with a death wish. Sometimes it's a ramper holding a couple chocks, or an over eager bag-thrower who didn't realize the engines are still running because the cooldown hasn't elapsed. You gunna wait to see if he keeps walking towards the engine because "Engines don't exactly stop on a dime with shutdown?"   Again, please point to the part where I blamed (or made any reference at all to) the pilots in the video?   Perfect hypothetical pilot reaction? If "turn the engines off if someone is approaching them" is perfect in your book, then I guess I must be Chuck Yeager.    Look at that, you agree with me. So what is with all the commentary? I never made a promise that shutting down the engines will guarantee survival. I did however point out that you are an idiot if you think it matters. If anyone here can spell out a scenario where it's safer to leave the engines running "if you look out the window and see someone approaching the plane when they shouldn't be," I'm all ears.  Or is this just because I said mean things to disgruntled? He's a big boy, he can take it.

      That vid has been around for awhile.  If you're rooting for the biker, he should have taken the Maumelle exit at around 5:00 into the vid.  If you're rooting for the trooper, the force to the grass actually worked.  I'd have to see a few more tries to make a judgement call on that technique.  As for after the stop, well....
