Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22040 posts	Very entertaining video I remember the "hurricane" one and actually think it's sort of OK. Novel idea. Potentially dangerous though. The last one is hilarious Sad to read that Ilkka Nummisto died last year (mentioned in the comments). Always liked him

This removes the risk of a implement hitting the athlete. Stand them at the edge of a swimming pool for a soft landing. Add a parachute for resistance... What could go wrong. I like the 100kg brick carry race. You don't see the back carry events so much anymore. It all front loading, no fridge races. I guess someone got hurt or trapped under an implement at some point.

I've just remembered another comp from that era in which they had to push a huge cable drum up a series of levels, bumping it up tiny steps.

Its almost routine in competitions now. Great watching a bike being strict pressed. Some power to hold such an odd shape object.
