Chris Rock is not the only one to have a high-pressure fire hose
Vanity Fair has this amazing photo of Chris Rock holding on to a fire hose. It was taken by photographer Sam Jones in 1997.
There was no caption, I have no idea who the photographer was or when it was taken. I can only guess that it is older than 1997. I realize that creative people are inspired by each other, and that this little discovery in now way lessens my admiration for the Chris Rock portrait by Sam Jones. Instead this picture made me curious to see if I could find more high-flying would-be firefighters.
I started searching the web, and this is what I found:
Again, there is no caption or credits, but this looks to be a fairly new photo (at least I can tell that Photoshop has been involved in removing the harness suspending the firefighter).
Sadly, this is were my quest ended. I have searched long and hard (well, not really...but you know) but I can not find any more people taking of with a high-pressure fire hose in their hands. If you know of more photos like this, please leave a comment below.
I was amazed and impressed by the originality of this portrait. It seemed like the kind of thing a child would think to do, but a grown-up would dismiss.

Driving on ice
Some people know how to have fun on the ice! This video is from Norway, where people usually know how to drive their cars on snow and ice. Norwegian are also good skiers. These guys have combined their talents, and have taken it to a new level. This is described as dangerous, I would call it impressive, inventive and cool!
Sometimes it goes wrong
Here is a video of a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X rally car on snow. Now THIS is dangerous!
