Ok so with the man standing on the top of a four story tower this year. It makes me wonder what they plan on doing if the man falls before the tower and everyone rushes it, then the four story tower falls on top of a bunch of burners? I know this last burn I was hit by late exploding fireworks as I ran around the burning fucker. I just think this year sounds a lot more dangerous. Any thoughts?

Tue, January 8, 2008 - 11:09 PMSeems to be a number of people that think it's not dangerous enough. If you're going to be that close to the man, bring a gun.

Wed, January 9, 2008 - 12:09 AMWhat if the tower falls first?
What if they burn the seven temples at the same time?
What if
what if what if...hahahaha -

Re: Concerns about the 08 man pavillion...
Wed, January 9, 2008 - 12:19 AMBurning seven temples at once doesn't possibly threaten peoples safety. A falling tower does. "what if" I guess we wont know untill august. -

perhaps its forced evolution?
join the Rangers and help keep a perimeter
be a good sitter downer and help keep our fellow burners chill - while watching the showwww
wasn't BM the axis of evil?

Thu, January 10, 2008 - 6:08 PMThough it's more likely that the people invoicing for use of that term would be The Trampps for their song Disco Inferno.
The first popular usage of the term surfaced during the Watts riots in August of 1965.

Wed, January 9, 2008 - 12:13 PMWatch what the folks in safety gear are doing - if they run for it, you should be way ahead of them.
If barefooted jokers run past the Rangers and then the Pyro Crew and PST at L2K (who are conspicuously in full turnout gear) - duh, fuck 'em. Only so much babysitting is possible.

either you are trying to get us away from other more noxious threads (thank you) or you have not yet read the back of your ticket.

Re: Concerns about the 08 man pavillion...
Thu, January 10, 2008 - 3:13 PMInteresting question. They'll probably keep trying to maintain the perimeter till everything has fallen. It could be difficult to maintain the perimeter, and for the tower to fall could take a long time, I'm guessing.
Any mention of anything dangerous, no matter how it is stated, always leads to suggestions for Disneyland and ticket readiing. You know how Burners always love their fine print.I wonder what it says about danger on the back of a Disneyland ticket? -
-
Re: Concerns about the 08 man pavillion...
Thu, January 10, 2008 - 3:33 PMFrom the back of my Disneyland ticket:
It is agreed between the owners of the parks and ticket users that all claims for injury or loss arising incident to presence on owners property shall be litigated in the state the injury occurred. -

Re: Concerns about the 08 man pavillion...
Thu, January 10, 2008 - 7:40 PMStructure collapse around the pavillion has been a concern each year.
Last year...
...crazy half naked stoned firespinners swung fuel flaming tampons wildly at anything that moved...
.....fireworks blew up and spewed flaming heavy metals into the atmosphere...
...fear crazed dot com trust fund art car drivers blasted our ears with weird ass ooonsa oonsa music...
...a great heap of hydrocarbons ignited into a cataclysmic tetrahedon of flame...
...the big creosote telephone pole logs that made up the base were pulled down into an unstable pile of flaming debris,
....and a bunch of the pyrotech stuff didn't go off until the fire ignited them into the crowd...
.....the fire wasn't hot enough and so the crowd got too close and they were rowdy..
...they started pushing people into the hazard area..
....drunk people threw shit into the fire that exploded, and threw shrapnel all over the place..
....demons rose from the flames and anally raped three innocent bystanders....
....alcohol soaked naked drunken chicks fanned their pussy lips by the fire while frat boys furtively masturbated into their PBR cans....
... and unlit bike riders collided into wailing writhing orgies of oversexed, overstimulated masses...
Fuck it was fun!

Re: Concerns about the 08 man pavillion...
Fri, January 11, 2008 - 8:59 AMIm my opinion...I wish more people would get seriously hurt/die each year. It would help to curb the idea of burning man being "safe" and keep all of the stupid virgins from coming.
I don't know about you all, but I'm hopeing for a population decrease this year -

You voluntering?
Fri, January 11, 2008 - 10:53 AMGood point. Having been seriously injured elsewhere last year, I have to say I don't wish that on anyone. (well, maybe on people who say such ridiculous things. a little. Maybe.) And serious injuries or deaths do mentally and emotionally effect campmates, volenteers (i really wouldn't wish the year my husband went through after Kathy Lampman's death, or even the year I went through watching him and being his main support, on anyone), even innoscent people nearby, ala what Comfort and Joy went through last year. The more danger at burning man crowd really does say some dumb things. -
