During Desert Storm their were more injuries from accidents caused by “screwing around” than their were from combat. But, that said, that looks like fun.
One of those guys is really good. I bet no OSHA rep would try to stop them. In Nam we tried parasailing with a parachute behind a jeep. Almost a disaster, but fun anyway. We also fished with grenades and went duck hunting with an M60 machine gun.

Billy I wonder if there is something in the sand there. From the things Saddam did like left over chemicals or something that exists in the sand.
