  4. ive seen that dude with his bear suits all over t.v. for the past 5
    years or something. they're pretty remarkable. they had some videos of
    him getting thrown down steep hills, getting hit by trucks, getting hit
    by gigantic swinging logs in the chest, being shot with an arrow, and
    being shot with a gun. Pretty crazy. I wouldn't buy this for unicycling
    unless i planned on doing some trials in the bear exhibit of the zoo.

    The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
    capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
    labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

  5. I've seen that guy on TV as well. Quite the crackpot inventor! Sorry if
    I'm using "crackpot" wrong. To me it means lots of time and effort to
    invent and perfect something that doesn't appear to have a useful
    purpose. Studying bears? You can get attacked by a bear in one, but I
    don't know how much study you can accomplish.

    Bears are pretty smart too. Give one time, and he'll figure out how to
    peel that thing off you.

    It probably doesn't have enough range of motion for riding a unicycle,
    but if it did you could ride it in busy traffic!

    The suits are probably better for doing stunts, such as going over
    Niagra Falls and such.

  6. He also made an interesting fire-retardent material that completely
    blocks heat and flame, even from stuff as hot as oxy-acetalyene torches.
    That most definitely has a use.

    Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
    army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown out?

    A huge use! Isn't it such a pain when you have some
    oxyacetalyene-torch-wielding maniac running after you, but you dont have
    the right fire-retardent material on? 😉
