    I mean, seriously though! They make clothes that (they are called "armors," btw) that will take that kind of abuse and have you come out scratch free.

    On the motorcycle side of things, people routinely walk away (bruised, but not seriously harmed otherwise) when they go out of control riding in the lower three digits. And a barstool is what, fastest at 45mph?

    I mean, I see them people sitting on the stools, mostly wearing clothes they would go to a bar with - that's suicidal! there is a reason why there are body armors out there, and yes they do work (granted, a few grand for a nice riding suit)

    Then again, maybe it's just a way to eliminate people from the gene pool.
