Ride that bucking pipe…

Video provides object lesson in how NOT to cut a steel pipe.

Thanks to countless re-enactments in movies, TV programmes and cartoons, we’re all familiar with the image of the man sawing away at the tree branch upon which he is sat, seemingly oblivious to the fact that a few more saw strokes will see him plummet to the ground below.

Ever wondered what would happen if that classic joke was brought up to date, replacing the tree branch with a steel pipe, perhaps? And what about switching the saw for an oxy cutting torch? And, as a final flourish, a seemingly gravity-defying denouement?

Well, wonder no longer as the video below is what you’ve been waiting for. Our endless thanks to Robert Kulinski for alerting us to this (and so many other items).
