Fun to watch but not so much as a participant.

did that slide ( 2 full revolutions) in my Gremlin heading towards a toll booth once....the poor guy inside needed a change of clothes!

LMAO but hoped no one was hurt.

Ice helps, but isn’t required. Using roller skates with metal wheels on a smooth concrete basement floor, my brother had stitches put in his chin.

This is why Californians are highly reluctant to rent cars in snowy States!!!

OK, now that my cortisol levels are through the roof, what's next...

The ultimate roller coaster ride. Take away the feeling of safety and get a hyper thrill. It's funny watching others but not so much experiencing it oneself. I speak from experience.

That hill coming off Capitol Hill on Broadway where you end up on Eastlake got me one time. Did not hit anything or anyone but 2 complete spins and facing the opposite direction was a bit of a thrill.

@silverotter11 I lived in W. Seattle and was one one steep road. No snow, no ice and everything looked fine. However, there had been a freeze overnight and a group of trees, on the south side of the road, shielded the ice. I did, as you, a 360+ spin and hoped everything would be fine. It was early and no one else was on the road.

I think a couple of those were from a recent ice storm in Seattle, WA.
The cow slipping - well LOL!
I hope no one was seriously injured, some of those falls looked painful.

@SeaGreenEyez I think a few Texans might disagree.

@SeaGreenEyez Yes, the 3 Capitol Hill metro bus was one I recognized. A Queen Anne, not sure if it was the counterbalance hill or not but it's a bad one when the ice storms hit.

@SeaGreenEyez Could be true BUT I was stationed near Bahston for 13 months. There was snow and ice from November until late April. People used to this learn when and how to drive safely.

@SeaGreenEyez Down a rabbit hole first thing - yeah, way to start the day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Especially that poor guy that dove headfirst into the frozen pool

@TheoryNumber3 That one had to hurt.
