    I don't know that this is mad science, but it looks pretty cool

    All I could think was, "That idiot really needs to wear a helmet. The fucking robot arm dropped his head so close to the ground so many times."

    I agree. He about scrambled himself there at the beginning. I thought for sure this was going to end up among the oddities in the London Zoo category.

    Haha! That looks amazing.

    @Allan and Spadiee: It's a programmed robot. It's not going to accidentally drop him.

    If the programmed path is off by a few centimeters then it won't be an accident. The robot will scramble the brains of whoever is sitting in the chair every time. Also who knows when a mechanical component will give under pressure? It looks like that robotic arm is really made for soldering , not heavy lifting. Accidents happen all the time in systems people think are foolproof.

    I agree with Allan and Spadiee, this guy should have been wearing a helmet. Oh, and apparently he needs a life. Urgently.

    I love people like that - they are the sorts of adventurous people that make my job interesting as opposed to people moaning about man-flu.

    I can just imagine turning up to the scene of the accident and seeing a 12 foot streak of blood and brain tissue smeared across the floor, then trying to work out what they were doing.

    Then calling the police. Not for any legal reason, but because they deserve a laugh as well.
