It looks like the G8 fire extinguisher was of the ~20lb variety. This is the same weight class as the bags of dog food I buy for my dogs. Next time you buy one get a friend to toss 'em back and forth. Then ask yourself, does that mass represent a deadly threat? The reality is that unless they snuck up behind you and hit you in the head a single might break a bone or arm but would not in any way be life threatening. If you've got access to skateboard wrist and elbow pads get a real fire extinguisher and try to block it with your hand. It ain't that hard. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, "Let Tesla be", and all was light.
