Too often dash camera videos feature episodes of intense road rage and reckless driving, but these two videos are a welcome break from that behavior. A truck driver noticed that the motorcyclist in front of him was having some engine issues and he acted as a traffic blockade to protect her.

Only 45 feet long, the "bark" of OUE SkySlide in Los Angeles, California, is much worse than it's "bite." Its 5-star appeal is the fantastic view it boasts from the U.S. Bank Building and the thrill of having only glass between you and a 1,000-foot fall.
Still, the must-see SkySlide still "nips" its visitors from time-to-time, like when this granny landed a bit too fast. (Don't worry, she's okay). Visit LA's coolest attraction today today! View Now

Let's be honest, along with cockroaches and twinkies, duct tape will probably outlive all of us.
But for the folks down at Demolition Ranch, duct tape's invincible rep only makes it more of a fair fight. It stands up well against a standard handgun round, but can this super-adhesive handle a .50BMG? (RightThisMinute does not recommend using duct tape as ballistic armor.) View Now
