Light tubes

When you hit people does it tend to fuck up the hitters hands? Or is that a one off that it might...

And if there is another thread like this can someone post the link and then close this one.

If you wanna be completely safe use gloves. The shattered glass can fly anywhere depending on how hard you hit

Yeah I was thinking that it going everywhere isn't an issue, because it breaks into small shards and it would be outside... but I figured that wouldn't shatter all of the tube... just the place you hit the other person..

But I read someone saying it fucks up your hands and I was just wondering if that happens most times or just occasionally...

I've never seen anyone get injured when doing the HITTING when it comes to the hands. The tube usually breaks over the persons back.

That ius a bundle of 15. Didn't hurt my hands.

Thanks for the advice...

Is it important NOT to breathe in the gas? Because then I'll turn away from it Image file not present in the recovered backup

I was told that the white powder that comes out of the tube is neon :/

Doesn't it fuck you up bigtime and make you crazy?

I'll research and get back..

"At this time, all fluorescent light tubes contain some quantity of mercury-containing calcium phosphate powder. As energy is added to a fluorescent light tube, mercury atoms become excited and produce ultraviolet energy. Phosphorus, another essential component of fluorescent light tubes, converts the ultraviolet energy into visible light. The quantity of mercury contained within each tube varies depending upon size, manufacturer, and the time period during which the tube was manufactured.

EDIT: Sorry for double post

the gas can cause cancer

your not gonna get your hands fucked up swinging the bulb, I have swung a shit load of them and have had them swung at me, neven had one incident were the swingers hands were fucked, why is everyone asking

fucking try it for your self, what happend to groups doing stupid shit, now it's like doing stupid shit after taking every percaution neccisary

were is the fun there

You don't blindly jump out of a building unless you know what your in for.

Thats all I'm going to say.

Yeah, cancer is hilarious.

I'd declare anyone a cunt that would willingly risk getting cancer just for a bit of 'good footage'.

man when I film us doing stunts, the whole thing is we dont' know if were gonna break a leg because we didn't put on fucking braces or somthing, I don't know I guess it's really evolved into "stunts" more than just fucking around with dangerous shit, I guess im imature in that way that I like to see vids were when the guy is getting hit with the bulb he isn't wearing a gas mask 2 t-shirts and a hoody

fuck that shit but like I said I guess it's just me

yeah man caner is funny as fuck

fuck you, the cool part of watching lightbulbs is someone getting cut up, I don't want to just see glass explode I want to see glass fly flesh cut and blood to spill

I know I hit Mike once, and a piece of glass got into my pinky and it bled forever, but other than that, I've never had anything happen to my hands, I'd just reccomend leather gloves or something if you want to be careful.

so did the handle break in your hands or what?

I guess so, I'm not quite sure how it happened, but, it was a few weeks ago, and I think I still have a piece of glass in there, lol. But, seriously, I bled forever, and I put it all on a parking block, and when we left, it look like someone got curb kicked where I had bled so much from my damn pinky.

what are the actual chances of getting cancer or even seriously ill from the shit inside light tubes??

I think I'll go gloveless..

Thanks team.

This can be closed if people are finished with it...

lol yeah we were fucking up smiths tv, then we went to inspect the damage and I was reaching in to grab a piece of glass and smith totatlly chuked a thick ass piece of tv tube glas at my pinkie, that mother fucker bled I still have that scar to

if your worried about getting glass stuck in your hands then all you have to consider is the size of the tube

if its big it doesnt shatter in your hands, if its small, its still unlikely but it does happen

and dont worry about the "gas" which comes from the tubes, it only gives you cancer if your constatly expoased to it for like 4/5 weeks, and still youd have to be breathing it in, so the risk is minimal

Yeah, I don't think the glass would be that bad. When I broke the light tube and cut my pinky, it was a really small light tube, so I don't know what the fuck happened there, I just know I was pissed.

when vode hit me, the whole tube exploded... He wore gloves, if he hadnt I'd say his hand would have gotten some serious damage...

when is that mix up coming out?

Uh, one reccomendation, if you're hitting someone, make sure they don't have a lot of hair and attempt to wash it out later... Yeah, for the HGFaceoff, I did the bust a light tube over your head to myself, and I had dreadlocks at the time, let's just say... Big mistake taking a shower after that...

And that time, nothing happened to my hands... But it was a bigger light tube.

when the movie is finished... ~3months

any type of dust-like product can fuck you up
you breathe it in and it affects your lung capacity, depending on how much you actually breathe in over time...
so it'd advice you NOT to breathe it in...

and wear gloves to be safe....because yes it breaks over the persons back or whatever, but the break has to come to an end somehow, and that's usually about wear your hands are, depending on the positioning of the impact...

I've never used them before but it's common knowledge, I'd think

What happened when you took a shower?

kick ass, I can't wait to see this shit man I know it's gonna be bad ass

Vode hasn't still had time to edit it and I don't know if we're gonna release it before the final movie teaser

edit: k, a lot of people beat me to it

What do you think happened, my first instict was to get the damn glass out of my dreads, soooo I tried washing it out... And lets just say, if you're not careful, it can suck... But I don't know, I did have nappy ass dreads, so they didn't help a whole lot either.
