In real life with the first jamacian bobsled team did the cart really break and they carried it to the end?

They had many crashes & injuries but the last scene where they carried the cart on their shoulders was just an unexpected climax to the film. Remember "Cool Runnings" is not a documentary, it is a commercial film. The Jamaicans were actually respected for fighting against all odds and trying to be themselves.

personally i have seen way too many pairs of line skis delaminate. some after only a few times out. it's hit or miss and their quality control is horrible. they are light and a good ski IF they don't fall apart on the lift. buy a different ski that's not going to give you problems

I get the one man luge.  It's a guy on a sled going a hundred miles an hour.  I'm okay with it.\nThe skeleton.  We're talking dangerous; because they're sliding head first. So I respect it.\nTwo man luge?  I'm thinking someone lost a bet.\nOne thing for sure.  You'll never see the gold medalists on a breakfast cereal.

Okay I am not a guy but my little boy was riding a go-cart at a friends house (and didn't tell me) no seat-belt or whatever that thing is to control the speed. Anyway the throttle got stuck and he was only 8 and he didn't know what to do never being on one and he ran into a cement pole. It was the most awful thing I had ever been through the pain I saw on his face when they brought him to me was the scariest thing I had ever seen. He turned completely black down there and we even had to have an ultra sound to see it the blood supply had been cut off completely... thank goodness it hadn't but it was so scary... I cried for like 3 solid hours after because seeing how bad he was hurting tore me up inside and he was amazingly brave. He could not walk for days had to be in a wheelchair and was even hard to do that because sitting was so so hard... so I would say right now ... I'm glad I am not a man/boy and don't ever have to find out for myself.... I have no tears left lol

I was in B. 37 at Johnson Space Center in the Medical Science Division.  About 50 of us who worked in the building were watching the launch on TV as we did every launch.  I had built an experiment box for one of the crewmembers to use. It was a space motion sickness experiment.  The person seated in front of me said "oh no, that's not right" prior to the "explosion".  About 5 seconds later, it broke up.  It wasn't really an explosion by strict definition.  The pressurized crew cabin seperated and it fell into the ocean after reaching about 57000 feet.  It broke up most likely on impact.  The person sitting in front of me noticed the anomalous plume and knew something was terribly wrong.  One of the crewmembers family lives behind me, 2 houses over.  \n\nI am answering this question in a non-official capacity of course, but I have to say it.

Chuck "The Rifleman" Connors is correct.\n\nDarryl Dawkins actually broke TWO backboards in the 79-80 season. One shattered the whole board (the late Bill Robinzine was the Spurs player that was under the backboard at the time, and he cleared out of there as fast as he could)...  the second dunk basically snapped the rim off of the backboard, but the board didn't completely shatter as it did the first time.

This is sort of like the chicken and/or the egg. But The principle (undoubtedly) was discovered, but the implementation of the object was invented - ie it is the combination of axle, hub, and bearing that is the invention, allowing a wheel to be attached to a cart or similar, to make it useful.\n\n The idea of perpetual motion is nothing new. It was discovered and proven in the beginning of the 18 century. The invention was a working system using the gravity force to power the wheel. This made the inventor famous in history. \n\nThus, in summation, I firmly believe that the wheel was discovered just by observing nature but the axle, etc was invented.

the first to leave was kid with bike..he had tears in his eyes (I wanted him to be tied with Jnuse..he cheered up when he was given an internship with a bike company..and a famous bike racer gave him a message.\n\nthe next to go was football receiver guy..his family was upset..he said he was a winner..he went totally ballistic when a famous wide receiver showed up..he was unbelievably happy and just going nuts and said forget the million I got (football guys name)..the man was going to help him get product out there.family cheered up--guy was so happy.\n\nThen it was between carseat guy and word ace..the word ace guy looked awful---no expression--they dragged it on and on for what seemed like 5 minutes and did the Seacrest "after the break" thing..(they also copied A.Idol's fans at home with signs rooting you on thing..)\n\nThe winner----ticktockticktock.\n.minutes...Januse..\nhe was happy.  A man from Hasbro toys came and said he tests i thin he said 16,000 games a year and only a few get in..he will work with the man for a few months..\n\nThen evenflo (biggest car seat maker( will work with Janus...Gave him a million dollar check--confetti drop..show next season  (they sign awar all rights to the invention..Januse gets one million and they take his product, develop it, and keep all proceeds (except that one million),,,not sure how they do contracts with non winners but all had to sign 25 page contracts before aditions (excuse typos).

How about pretty much all of the bones in my right hand?   \n\nYears ago I was changing a flat tire on my International Truck out in the parking lot where I worked.  A buncha guys were talking to me as I was doing it.  When I was putting the new tire on, my right hand was on the top of the tire, right below the wheel well...and then the jack slipped and the truck came down crushing my hand between the tire and the truck.\n\nI don't think I've ever cursed as much in my whole life, and thank god those guys were there because they were able to lift the truck up enough to get my hand out and take me to the hospital.

Wheels are useless without pack animals to pull carts.  No such animals existed in America (except llamas in the Andes -- more on that in a sec.).  So without easily domesticated animals -- buffalo don't count because they resist domestication -- the wheel would have been a pretty useless invention.  Ironically, the Mayans did make childrens' toys with wheels.  But since the wheels would have been useless for actual work without pack animals, they never expanded upon the design.\n\nAs for the Incas and their llamas, maybe they would have invented the wheel, provided the Spaniards had not arrived and given them all smallpox.  :)  Or it may be that the mountainous environment of Peru was ill-suited to wheeled carts.

Back in my wandering hippie days a busload of us crashed at an old house in Boulder Colorado.  One of the women awoke from a nap upstairs screaming, saying a little girl was trying to steal her body. \n\nOur host passed a couple of joints around and told the story of the original residents.  It seems their young daughter had died of typhoid, and they were in such denial of it that they just left her body to rot in her upstairs bedroom. Deprived of a proper burial, the girl's spirit never left the house.  The next owner had walled off the room, even going so far as to seal it with lead.  We were starting to have some fun with the story when there was suddenly a loud bang from the wall in question, causing a number of things to fall down.\n\nWe decided then to go out for ice cream, and we all slept downstairs on the living room floor that night.
