So, this weekend I decided to experiment with Scuba Tank to Foot Compression ratios. The following are my findings: Experiment: Drop one 80 cubic foot aluminum compressed air scuba tank out the back of the trunk of a selected vehicle from a height of approximately 1m. Observe physical/psychological reactions when said tank compresses the metatarsals of one human foot. Hypothesis: Foot compression ratios will vary in direct accordance with the amount of force/speed and/or height from which the sc...

The two day dives were at a location new to me, known as the "Toilet Bowl". You huff it down some lava rock to a she...
