T-shirt cannons are dangerous

Chip the Buffalo clearly needed to attend T-shirt cannon safety classes.

 

The sound.

 

Does he get to keep the shirt?

 

What’s the sound of one nut flattening?

 

The unintentional timing of the PA guy saying "thank you" is great.

Also, I've often been surprised that I haven't seen anyone fall out of an upper deck at an arena trying to catch a shirt.

 

Class A Cal League, 2000
I'm sitting next to road team radio broadcaster
Home team asst. GM and some kids come out to throw promotional gifts gifts to the crowd.
No t shirt cannon. They're just tossing some schwag around for people.
Road team broadcaster, live on the radio: Asst. General Manager XXXX XXXXX is tossing some promotional items to the crowd. People are great. Wave some glass beads and baubles at them and they start barking like a pack of trained seals.

I almost fell out of my seat laughing.
Hard to recall. I think it was Rancho Cucamonga's radio guy. I just remember the line.
That guy was funny.

 

I have watched this video approximately eleventy billion times. My fellow coffee-shop patrons are wondering why the room is shaking so much.

 

Even my wife is dying laughing after seeing this video …

 

Part of what's amazing about it is how slow the people immediately around him are to react. Even adults forget that people are inside those costumes.

 

I always cringe at the possibility that someone could accidentally bump the shooter and she inadvertently lowers the cannon and blasts somebody right in the face. Or the helper stuffing the T-shirt in the cannon doesn't pull her hand away fast enough. Extra points if the logo on the T-shirt gets inbedded in the person's face.

 

Why are these operators and helpers “she”s?

I think I’ve seen more “he”s fire them than “she”s.

Probably for some gender-asinine reasons too.
