Rishi Baveja’s Bungee Jump Gone Wrong

Ever thought about bungee jumping? If yes, did you consider what could happen if something went wrong?

Rishi Baveja, a 21- year-old from Britain, decided to take the plunge while on vacation in Phuket. It was at the  Jungle Bungy in Kathu where that decision almost cost him his life.

In the video [below] you hear the instructor tell him to “just jump,” and to not think about it. Rishi drops an f-bomb nervously, then does the sign of the cross over his heart before jumping.

He jumps.

At the moment the bungee instructor realizes the harness has snapped you hear him say quietly, “Oh.”

Rishi is incredibly lucky to have survived the fall. He was reportedly doing about 80-mph when he hit the water. His chest took most of the impact, which is good. If he had landed on his head he would have most likely died or have been left brain dead. He suffered a ruptured spleen, torn liver, collapsed lungs and of course, bruising everywhere. It took 4 weeks of recovering in a Bangkok hospital before he was able to return home to England.

Rishi says before the jump he assured his mother what he was doing was safe.

“I knew the jump would be scary but I didn’t think it was dangerous. I had a long phone conversation with my mum telling her it was safe. She only believed me when I told her that the website of the jump center claimed it had a 100 per cent safety record. It still says that. I didn’t need to do that jump. I wish I hadn’t.”

But he does still plan to sky dive! Seriously. I guess if you have survived a bungee fall from 165-ft. you might as well skydive, right? What’s the worst that could happen? Heh.

This story really gets my tummy! I bungee jumped, off a crane, 175-ft. back in 1991. I did it because I am afraid of heights. And while the experience certainly did not cure me of my fear, in fact, it is worse these days, I am glad I did it. But would I do it again? Not in a million years! I liken it to committing suicide by jumping off a building. That very split second you step off and there is nothing under your feet you are thinking, “Oh my God, what did I just do!?” Immediately after that your life literally flashes in front of your eyes. Once you get that bounce back, and know your cord is working, then all you’re thinking is, “I lived! I lived! Ok, that was fun!” Then you’re on this intense adrenaline high for like, an hour.

This poor guy never saw it coming. And to have it as a keepsake on video, oh my. I still can’t believe he actually wants to jump out of a plane now! Crazy. But then again, why live life any other way? I’m envious.

Ted Williams head abused by ALCOR

Ted Williams frozen head was beaten and abused by employees of Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, AZ.

A new book, “Frozen,” details all the inhumane and horrific things done to frozen human remains as well as live animals at the cryonics lab.

Author Larry Johnson was the chief operating officer for Alcor for a period of eight months. He was outraged at what he saw during this time. In 2003 he went public with details of the atrocities and received death threats. While writing “Frozen” he was forced to stay in hiding. Johnson will be making his first public appearance on ABC’s Nightline on Tuesday.

The barbaric acts which he describes are absolutely hellish. I will warn you, if you have a weak stomach, do not continue reading!

Johnson says that baseball legend Ted Williams’ body was kept at the cryonics lab. He died of leukemia in July 2003 at the age of 83. The company was paid $120,000 to take the body and have it suspended in liquid nitrogen.

At some point, for reasons unknown, an employee, someone who was not a doctor or medical technician, gruesomely decapitated Williams’ frozen head, using “crude equipment” to do so. Holes were drilled in Williams’ skull and microphones were inserted. Then the head was placed on a tuna can in it’s chamber, so it would stand upright. The employee[s] then recorded the sound of the brain cracking sixteen times as temperatures reached -321 degrees Fahrenheit. Later an employee tried removing the tuna can from the head, but it was frozen to it. So the person took a monkey wrench and beat at it, sometimes missing the can and splattering frozen head parts in the room.

Absolutely horrific! But there’s more, and it’s equally as disturbing.

Johnson also says that live dogs were dismembered, pumped full of chemicals and experimented on, and that human blood and toxic chemicals were dumped down a sewer drain.

All disgusting, unimaginable stuff.

The last two months he was employed at Alcor, Johnson wired himself, took photos and stole documents as proof of what he had witnessed. He says that all he really wants is for Ted Williams’ last request be fulfilled. That he might be cremated and “sprinkled at sea off the coast of Florida, where the water is very deep.”

I have to say this story disgusts and saddens me. People are very loathsome creatures at times. If this story is true I commend Johnson for being brave enough to come forward with it all. I believe him though, how the hell could make up stuff this insane? I hope this story gets the attention it deserves because every single one of those people involved should be prosecuted and this company MUST be stopped! I plan on keeping up on this one, and will keep you updated as more details emerge.

Watch Nightline on ABC Tuesday for Larry Johnson’s interview.

Man slaps crying child in Georgia Walmart

A man, Roger Stephens, 61, had enough of a crying child while shopping in a Walmart store.

So much so that he approached the child’s mother, Sonya Mathews, and told her that if she did not quiet her child he would do it for her. The child continued crying so Stephens made good on his word. He went up to the child, a 2-year-old baby named Paige, and slapped her multiple times in the face, shocking everyone who witnessed it. He then told Mathews: “See, I told you I would shut her up.”

Little Paige suffered redness to her cheeks but was not seriously hurt.

Since the incident Mathews has said that she forgives Stephens, saying he must have mental issues.

Stephens has been charged with cruelty with children in the first degree, a felony. He is being held without bond.

Well, check out Mr. Grumpasaurus’ mugshot! He looks like he’s ready to kick the police officer’s ass who photographed him! Still, I would have tangled it up with this mofo. Pop that grandpa once in that big schlong of a nose and I promise you that lanky old bastard would drop like a rotten sack of bones.

On the otherhand, I hate screaming kids too. Heh. Just being honest. Not that they deserved to be smacked in the face, mind you, but honest to gawd, people do not know how to control their children in public anymore. Just the truth. I went to my local library the other day and could barely stand being there for more than 5 minutes. Kids were literally running and screaming up and down the aisles. One kid was banging hard and loudly on a keyboard of a computer – over and over. The parents didn’t seem to mind, they were fully engulfed in whatever book it was they were digging their nose into. The staff seemed oblivious as well, like it was just another day on the job.

I agree that Mr. Stephens most likely has mental “issues”. I have a hunch that this kid may have been the one that broke the camel’s back and he flipped out. I mean, he WAS at Walmart, and we all know how well behaved people’s children are there.

Heh.

In today’s ‘WTF News’ Candy Vigneri, a 44-year-old Maryland woman, gave birth to a baby in a portable toilet and left the baby to die in the waste tank.

As if that wasn’t cold enough, she bummed a smoke from a construction worker and sat at a nearby picnic table, contemplating what she had just done.

When a man came along to use the restroom Candy told him, “Don’t go in there, I just had a baby in there.” Obviously freaked out, they guy called 911 immediately. This in turn caused Candy to go to the toilet and retrieve the baby from the toilet’s  foul liquid. When paramedics arrived the baby was unresponsive and covered in the blue tank agent. She told police that she didn’t know she was pregnant. (Some defense.)

She was arrested and charged with child abuse and reckless endangerment. She is being held on a $50,000 bond. The baby is now is stable condition and will be in the hands of social services after recovering.

And you thought your mom was a bitch.

A Belgian teenager, Kimberley Vlaminck, 18, had 56 stars tattooed on her face and is now suing the tattoo artist saying she only asked for three.

Vlaminck is claiming that she fell asleep while getting the tattoos, and when she awoke, lo and behold, her face has been inked. Her forehead, cheek, nose and jawline, covered with dozens stars.

She says the Romanian tattooist, Rouslan Toumaniantz, may have misunderstood her French and English, however, he is denying those claims.

He told the media:

“She was awake and looked into the mirror several times as the procedure was taking place. The trouble all started when she went home and her father and boyfriend threw a fit. They are saying things now like I doped her or hypnotized her. What rubbish! She asked for 56 stars and that’s what she got.”

Kimberly is suing for nearly $14,000, enough to remove the tattoos, but she would still be left with scars. She complained, “It is terrible for me. I cannot go out on to the street, I am so embarrassed. I just look horrible.”

Please tell me how someone could possibly fall asleep while getting half their face tattooed? The tattoo artist is right. It’s rubbish.

You know that girl is trouble just by looking at that belt buckle.

Embedded video from CNN Video

A 15-year-old domesticated chimpanzee named Travis was shot and killed by officers Monday after he attacked a friend of his owner’s.

The chimp had starred in commercials for Old Navy and Coca Cola.

Owner Sandra Herold had called her friend Carla Nash to help her capture her 200-pound pet after he escaped, using a key to unlock the door.

Once Nash showed up, Travis jumped on her, biting and attacking her face neck and hands as she tried to defend herself in the Stamford, Connecticut front yard. Herold immediately ran inside, called 911 and grabbed a butcher knife and shovel to combat the chimp. She stabbed her pet numerous times in an effort to save her friend’s life.

Stamford Mayor Dannel Malloy described her injuries as “life-changing, if not life-threatening.” Her sister-in-law, Kate Nash, said she had successfully undergone surgery Monday night.

A Stamford police spokesperson says they are unsure as to what caused the brutal attack.

“There was no provocation that we know of. One thing that we’re looking into is that we understand the chimpanzee has Lyme disease and has been ill from that, so maybe from the medications he was out of sorts. We really don’t know.”

A primatologist at the Bronx Zoo, reminded people that wild animals are unpredictible even after years of being domesticated.

“It’s deceiving to think that if any animal is … well-behaved around humans, that means there is no risk involved to humans for potential outbursts of behavior,” said Colleen McCann. “They are unpredictable, and in instances like this you cannot control that behavior or prevent it from happening if it is in a private home.”

Herold may have given the animal a Xanax prior to the attack because the animal was agitated.

The animal also escaped from his home in 2003, wreaking havoc on the neighborhood.

David Mackie, a 35-year-old salesman from Oklahoma, decided to have a little fun with his credit card.

Capitol One was offering to personalize cards with a chosen photo and Mackie took them up on it. The photo he picked ended up being of actor Nick Nolte’s  2002 booking photo.

Funny, yes, but practical? Hardly.

Not long after the card was issued Capitol discovered their error, sent a new, standard card to Mackie, gave him a $50 credit and asked for the card back.

Mackie obliged, sending the card to Capitol One, but not before scanning it so we could all have a good laugh.
