0:58 it was actually made to be able to sustain such damage, by continuing to pump air into the aircraft, even after inflation. It did have some reliability issues, but overall it was functional. What put the nail in the coffin was actually the issue of finding enough space to take of.

Emkay, inflatable plane was surprisingly safe. That’s not rubber or anything weak that’s air mat. The main concept was to drop 100s of them behind enemy lines for downed military pilots to fly them selves back into friendly lines. While a few of them did end up crashing in testing, they ultimately failed because the concept itself was stupid.

The inflatoplane could actually inflate itself continuously using the engines power. It's biggest issue was the control wires getting tangled and causing problems.

4:25 Actually, this is probably an antique plate, with the warning added on after. Some china used to be painted with lead paint, so if you eat anything acidic on it like tomatoes you would die of lead poisoning. They were actually so ubiquitous that people actually had thought that it was the tomatoes that were poisonous, not the plates!

7:29 ok, but unironically I love this. I am weak for good puns in advertising.

It's hard to believe that some of these were deliberately designed like that, and approved by management.

3:07 I guess you could say that with all that smoke, the PC may as well just be an Unidentified Fantastic Object

The floating stairs are not intentional, he just ran out of blocks while playing minecraft

1:50 That might actually be illegal if it's for employees. I don't work with restaurants but the types of buildings I do work with require one RWC per floor. Edit: Also, those handrails are not to code. Edit 2: Yes, I am fun at parties. Why do you ask?

7:36 I have no idea what you're saying but it was hilarious "Please ERRMURRV"

4:09 you can even see a kid falling down lmao

9:31 they probably cleaned the mess for the picture and put the stuff out of frame on the ground in true roommate fashion

4:13 hold up, is that kid on the left falling??

2:42 really hits home. Nothing beats transport around Durban South Africa

Touhou being on the monitor of the burning computer is hilariously fitting

6:40 thermodynamically a wooden door handle also gets hot. But the thermal conductivity of metals is way higher than that of wood (like 100 x or sth.) which is why metal feels hotter to touch because the heat gets transferred to your skin much faster. Though, funny enough metals have severly worse heat capacities that most wood

I'm pretty sure the Inflatoplane was something for the military, from what I remember was made for stranded pilots that got shot down in enemy territory, small enough to be dropped from a pod on a plane or pushed out the back of a cargo plane in a very compact way. It looks dangerous but it wasn't exactly for commercial use, instead to possibly save lives

1:33 what happens when an unstoppable child meets an immovable pole?

I'm pretty sure Jack made all of these designs for just chaos and fun. That's why he knows so much about the designs

If you listen very closely, you can actually hear the sounds of broken bones and lawsuits!

I wish I'd gotten some pics of the "renovations" to the municipal animal shelter I worked at. I was really curious who the escaped mental patient was that they hired as the architect. They put a water spigot for a hose right next to the power outlet. All the doors opened the wrong way. All the floor drains were the highest point, everything sloped down towards the walls. All the sinks were supposed to be wheelchair accessible, even the ones in the employees only areas, and you couldn't fit a watering can under the faucet for filling up the water bowls in all the individual cages. The water that came out of the afore-mentioned wall spigots was so hot it would set off the smoke detectors. IDK who they get to design animal shelters, but it's obviously people that have never had to clean up after animals housed in enclosed spaces at large volumes. The best was the new cat kennels had a separate little cubby for the litterbox, but they built them so deep no one could reach all the way into them. So if kitty had Hershey squirts all the way against the back wall, there was no way to reach it to clean it. You couldn't hose it out because they were constructed like cabinets; laminated particle board. They claim the stainless steel cages were too "industrial" looking. Yeah, but housing a cat in a kitchen cabinet is REALLY unsanitary!

8:03 Was not expecting to see kids have the potential to get head trauma from a giant Pringle chip. Once you pop, you just can't stop!

The eyewash station one brings me back to grad school - there was something wrong with the design of the heating system, so that when we switched from AC to heat in the fall.... Well, if they missed a step, it filled all the water lines in the building with steam. The emergency eye wash was literally full of steam. The emergency shower? Boom. Steam. The sinks? Boom. Steam. The urinal? Boom. Steam.

This is one of my new favorite subreddits. I need more. Even better, get everyone together(including Damien) an have em review this subreddit together

5:39 had me rolling for no known reason but i love it

0:06 This looks like my best attempt at making a staircase in my Minecraft world.

7:27 the morbidity and delivery made me belly laugh

9:00 $100 says that’s just made that way so homeless people can’t sleep on them.

I was having a good laugh until the three beam bench which is clearly designed to annoy homeless people and then I was sad again. :,)

Lets be real.. The bathroom door being "Blocked in" is not an issue unless someone is holding the door against the other door.. In which case, they might as well just block the bathroom door instead.

3:06 That's how it feels to try to beat it on Lunatic. Specifically stage 5.

4:24 Thats how people thought tomatos were poisonous.

I swear if someone brought that “find the toenail” cake to my party/get together I would throw it in there face 🎉

It's a Milwaukee thing to call drinking fountains Bubblers too! I had no idea that was down in Australia as well!

9:48 i love how jack is always doing this

0:30 Forbidden pet...

I would have died so many times if I had those wooden stairs

8:26 no no that could not be on a boat, this is because, say: you lift up the trapdoor so people can move through the stairs when all of a sudden... THE BOAT IS ROCKED BY A MASSIVE WAVE OR FROM HITTING SOMETHING AND YOU'RE SENT FALLING DOWN THE FLIGHT OF STAIRS. and so that's why I don't think this is supposed to be on a boat.

10:48 Come with me and you'll see a world full of osha violations!

Drinking fountains are also called bubblers in New Jersey, according to the only person from New Jersey I've ever known.

3:37 that belongs in r/foundsatan , because i do not know what kind of evil you must be to do that.

8:12 this was an episode of Metalocalypse, wasn't it?

3:06 tfw died too many times to the stage 5 boss

3:07 wasn't expecting to see a familiar game on the screen. Oh well. Someone tried too hard

10:29 Wow a saftey harness. They put more effort in their saftey than my coworkers.

When I die, I want a TV standing beside my coffin at my funeral. As soon as they start crying, a link will appear on the screen, with a text beneath it saying “last message”. Someone will take the remote, click it, and then “Never Gonna give you up” will start playing. They won’t be in any danger really, only dangerously violated

3:18 so this is actually in omega mart its a real life arg that you can go to its a fake super market

One thing I love abt emkay is their head of security

That Gas Gauge isn't bad at all, I knew it was a full tank the second I saw it. The vertical dashes represent the fuel ammount, with the horizontal dashes with 1, 1/2 and 0 indicating where full, half and empty is. The Fuel pump with the arrow is just showing you which side the fuel tank is on

I drove to Wisconsin. It took me three weeks to figure out what the frick a bubbler was. Apparently the term “water fountain” is reserved for the decorative kind, not the kind you can drink from. Though I would still drink from both if I got thirsty enough.

5:54 Ladder boards are fairly standard practice, even on scaffolding. A standard 2x6 pine board can hold around 500 pounds without cracking, and tripling them up triples the weight distribution, strengthening the boards and increasing the weight limit. Source: I worked in a factory for five years where the owner hides the safety harnesses for building industrial racking so we had to either ride forklift forks up or climb the racking like monkeys. Most of my crew fell through at least once, one of the guys crashing through three levels of metal grates and slamming into the cement, and another guy falling off the side and catching his ankle in a crevice and wrenching it. But don't worry! The owner graced us with his presence more than once in his flashy new Bentley! He hid in his office most of the time behind three keycard locked doors because most of his emploeyyes are felons. With a tub of Vaseline and porn that he left out for the cleaning lady to find.

7:08 we have an eyewash station at work in the porters closet that looks like it hasnt been cleaned in 20 years. Full of dust, grime, calcium, hair, chemical residue, and what I can only assume is mold. It's black and brown but it's not supposed to be. Why don't I catalogue this stuff to use in negotiations when they inevitably try to screw me over and I sue them?

That poor kid on the 1920s playground falling off to the left of the screen... I hope they were okay!! Lol

If i was offered a billion dollars to walk on THAT staircase. Okay maybe i would do it

4:25 Imagine if you're eating spaghetti at a resturaunt, you finish it all and you're greeted to this

4:27 love that little scream there lol. u can just FEEL the rage in their voice

6:59 Tripping is the worst of your worries? What happens if you *don't* trip and accidentally remove *it* instead?

@5:23 that fuel icon with the arrow is actually a helpful indicator to let you know which side the fuel tank is on. in this case, the arrow is pointing to the right side, so you would fill up on the right side. hope this was a helpful tip.

7:29 I think I've seen that ad before. It's actually very hilarious and ingenious.

3:09 - 3:10 "hol up lemme load minecraft"💀💀💀

1:18 looks like a trash American electrical system problem. European cables have only half of the "sticks" conductive so even when it's not plugged in properly it won't just work instead of burning your house down

Those rusty saws on the playground are most likely to represent hedgehogs. Their front end shape isn’t more spikes, but a nose and eye.

As a member of the safety committee at my job…. Some of these eye wash stations positions are MINDBOGGLINGLY STUPID.

3:06 I guess you can truly find touhou anywhere.

6:33 That’s a lawsuit waiting to happen

4:24 is probably a charger, a large decorative plate placed under a dinner plate. They're mostly used for fancy dinner parties. Chargers are often painted gold or silver. Since they're just for decoration and not meant for eating off of, food safe paints or materials are not needed. Or it could just be a decorative plate for display.

0:19 How people should act instead of filing a lawsuit

That last one is most likely not a building actively in service, and those props should be there just to hold the door jambs in place until the fixative goes off.

4:31 Imagine eating in a restaurant and finishing your steak just to find that label under your food

Actually the floatplane's engine constantly pushed air into it, so it could take a few bullets before deflating

'AVOID THESE' "They're actually walkable on."

Regarding the fuel gauge: The gas pump icon is where you're recommended to refuel it at. The dashed vertical bar is the current amount. Also, that hospital bench is blatant anti-homeless design. Hard to sit on, harder to sleep on.

2:33 yup, we call them bubblers in Wisconsin too

"God gifted people with both intelligence *and* stupidity at the same time!"

10:33 The art of perspective and breaking skeletons.

2:39 Jesus, take the wheel. Miguel, hold the stuff in the trunk.

1:59 i think the designers watched too much phineas&ferb and thought disabled people could just go-go-gadget their wheels into motorized stair-wheels

Day 12 of asking the Emkay crew to play D&D

Some plate’s in the 19 hundreds were coated to radioactive glazing that’s why the plate says not to eat from it I think

0:58 Inflato planes acutally had the ability to constantly keep themselves inflated with a compressor from the motor. These were before helicopters came into big fashion, so they would be low level air dropped near down pilots. the pilots would then unroll them, start the engine which would inflate them, take off, and fly back to friendly lines, where they would be "salvaged" for parts. GA-468 was a single-seater. It took about five minutes to inflate to about 25 psi, and was a single seater, with a speed of about 70 mph and range of 390 miles. GA-466 was the two-seater version was larger, could get about 275 mile range, but kept the 70mph speed. The advent of rescue helicopters and small scout choppers that could land and pick up 2 downed crew, rendered the program obsolete.

Goodyear Inflatoplane: * pops * The person riding the inflatoplane: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I DON'T WANNA DIE AAAAAAAAAAAAAA * dies with the inflatoplane *

Oh no... If you look between the second and third "sawhog", you'll notice a pole... the same one for swing sets...

They're called bubblers in Wisconsin and parts of Minnesota and Michigan, too.

5:12 oh hey, I know that design, that's VW

2:11 so? It's insulated. Absolutely normal.

bros computer in flames over the opening screen of a touhou game. thats like a college student breaking down cause they dont know what 1+1 is

THERES LITERALLY A CHILD FALLING 4:08

Awesome, now I can impale myself while I sleep!

10:45 That's a call to the Fire Marshall right there.

10:44 That's pretty common on construction sites and building undergoing renovations when it is dangerous for anyone to go through the door. What's probably going on here is work on the steps outside. Don't want anyone walking through the door when there's a 5' drop on the other side because the new steps are still being built. Though I've seen this done on doors with a 30' drop immediately on the other side. It's enough of an obstruction that people aren't going to casually walk through it, but accessible enough that if there was a real emergency you'd be able to get the door open and take your chances with whatever was on the other side.

If you look to the very left of the photo in 4:08 there's legit a kid mid-air falling down to his unlife.

That man was indeed in a dumpster on a fully extended forklift.

Their bubblers in Wisconsin too! We’re not alone!

2:33 They're called bubblers in most of New England, US, too!!

0:55 good year also makes boots if you didn't know.

When I was in elementary school we had an asphalt playground and the only “toy” was metal soccer goal posts. I don’t recall seeing at least one kid with a broken arm or leg the whole 7 years I was there. (I went to kindergarten there, too.)

I gotta let the intrusive thoughts get some victory’s

The last one has to be hella illegal - hope the person who approved that steps on legos - the 1x1 plates - for the rest of their life.

Bubbler! For whatever reason drinking fountains in my area, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, are called bubblers as well.

9:11: The epitome of the phrase “I love appliances!”
