Show us your 'OOPS' videos
« on: October 18, 2022, 12:48:31 pm »
  Please post your OOPS video(s) here.  The OOPS can be
anything - it must have made you say 'OOPS' (or maybe
even worse). 

  Burner flame-overs have been one type of OOPS for me
and I can't forget times an engine came apart while running. 
I do not have any of them on video but I do have another
type of OOPS on YouTube.  It happens at the end of a mill
engine run (powered by Jensen steam), so stay with it.



Pony-up with those OOPS videos,
Wayne

Arnold....Several of my videos have a JRT named Buster as background accompaniment.
I'd love another.

I remember Jim (I believe) starting this subject for a thread yrs. Back, nice to have it revived. I generally don't keep my oopsy videos at all, some aren't fit for family style viewing if things go really badly,  I had many this last weekend. Mostly it's just not the shot I was looking for. I will try to add to this thread in the future...I'm sure there will be many.🥴

I remember one such video a few years ago when I found out that working the camera and running the boat at the same time was not a good idea. I managed to run the boat aground on the rocks (about 2:12) while I was trying to stop the camera recording - couldn't do anything but laugh.


Regards,
Larry

Bonjour,
Pulling a 500 kilos launch with a 20 kilos tug can be dangerous  :-\
