Who needs brakes when you have rocks and trees?

Brakes help prevent breaks.

Even Fred Flintstone has brakes, of a sort.

Or at least an air bag.

That’s using your head.

That’s it…brake, er break it to him gently!

Flumba, flumba.

I don’t think breaks are the answer. More like steering.

No experiment is a (total) failure if you learn something from it.

He should also consider using a helmet (and knee pads and elbow pads). How about a crash test dummy?

He’s going to be Thor after that….

Mechanic to customer: I couldn’t fix your brakes so I made your horn louder!

Nuvolari said “You don’t need brakes to drive fast…” https://forums.autosport.com/topic/839-tazio-nuvolari-the-greatest-ever/

and also not to speed going downhill!

No FACEPLANT means low score on the Wiley E. Coyote scale , Does earn a 3 for a great Buttslide. !!!

You’re also about to “learn” that all of those “friendly, helpful,” Insurance Company commercials that INFEST the airways are all B/S. And ALL of them will drop you like a bad habit the moment you pull a “stunt” like THAT. But not before adjuster blurts out FIRST what your “deductible” is and what is NOT covered, and then going silent for a moment to allow that to “sink in.”

Oh yeah. And raising everybody else’s rates to compensate. :(

You have brakes. As soon as you run into something and stop, you break. Arms, noses, legs. Right?

The road rules.

I remember the “back to” where he added brakes.

Calvin’s great great great…great grandfather.

Before your next ride, contact W.E. Coyote for some stunt lessons.

Road rash!!

Warning signs… all we need is warning signs of hazzards ahead.

Flumba Flumba OOOOO that hurt!

Isn’t this a rerun?

Perhaps seat belts, or at least foot straps, would not go amiss either. Just saying.

I was watching Prada Cup yesterday and had the epiphany that boats don’t really have brakes… which can be a problem.

Bap bash smash flumba flumba sliide. You could make that into a song lol.

I always think that pratfalls are made even funnier if the victim gets pounded even more due to something that had happened previously in the sequence. Like in this case, if the broken-off tree had slid down behind him and clonked him in the head… ☺

He’s definitely learned the law of inertia……

But…nothing about helmets?

What have we learned?

That I’m in catastrophic pain and will be in traction for the next 18 months.

(No, not true. Thanks to cartoon physics, Thor will be fine tomorrow.)

Why? The wheel stopped.

But, we real men will never wear helmets. …we real men will never wear helmets. …men will never wear helmets. …ver wear helmets. …lmets….

FLUMBA?

Maybe he should take a break and add brakes

Flumba? He needs better steering.

Pretty much every safety rule, system has be written or developed after blood has been spilt.

Hee hee, sound effects.

“Flumba”, makes me wistful for the great sound effects of Mad Magazine’s late, great genius cartoonist, Don Martin.

Wait ’til NHSTA gets ahold of it…
