Remember a month ago when Disney’s Stickman was the best robotic stuntman technology they had? Good times. Things are about to get way more human and way more creepy. Now the company is working on a series of truly acrobatic, humanoid stunt robots with their Stuntronics project. In the video below, the daredevil robots can be seen doing different acrobatic tricks as they get launched in the air and land in nets.

Getting your finger or toe hit by a mousetrap is terrible. The pain is excruciating. Seriously, you have no idea. Now imagine diving into 1,000 mousetraps on a trampoline. That would be crazy right? Yep. Well, the internet is all about crazy and some guy did just that.

I sat here and watch this video of this gigantic drone pulling a snowboarder around and wanted to call BS right way. The problem is that I am half convinced this is legit and they actually did this.

I bet this kitesurfer over in Florida was super gung-ho to get out there in the massive surf and winds created by Hurricane Matthew. He probably thought he was going to be famous and stuff, and he sort of is.

Skydivers are pretty fearless. I mean, what is left to be scared of after falling toward the Earth from insane heights. So naturally, skydivers are looking for new cool stuff to do up there. Like swing on a giant swing suspended between two hot air balloons. This stunt, courtesy of Red Bull, took four skydivers, two hot air balloons, a 400 foot-long rope with a seat on the end, and a climb to about 6,000 feet in a hot air balloon.

Youtuber TechRax likes to buy expensive gadgets and destroy them for views. Yeah, this kind of stuff gets old pretty quick, but it’s gotten him over 5 million subscribers. And the only reason I’m sharing this video with you guys is because his latest video has Rax at the top of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.

Drones can be pretty cool, and are a great way to capture images of whatever you are doing from the air. There are a bunch of drones out there with some of them being the cheap consumer quadcopters that you play with, and others being incredibly expensive and aimed at professionals. 

Any parent of a LEGO fanatic will tell you there’s nothing worse than stepping barefoot on a pile, or even a single LEGO brick. The pain is excruciating. I’m pretty sure that Hell is nothing but a LEGO covered floor you have to walk on for all eternity.
