School. It’s good for you.
STOMPer Milton Tan was shocked by the sight of the group ‘fooling around’ on the lorry, as the vehicle they were on sped down the Central Expressway yesterday morning (Dec 28).
Mr Tan, who is the director of the Design Singapore Council, said: “It was an accident waiting to happen.
“If the lorry suddenly stopped, they would tumble onto the highway and could be run over.”
The men appeared to be part of a funeral band. They were sitting on plastic stools on the lorry, said Mr Tan.
Hmm… It seems the director of the Design Singapore Council failed basic physics as a kid. “If the lorry suddenly stopped”, the mysterious forces of nature (p = mv) would pull the boys into the vehicle, not scatter them mercilessly over the cold, unfeeling tarmac.
The only way the aforementioned scenario could happen is if the lorry were speeding arse-first down Singapore’s world-class highway - something which I doubt very much it was doing.

stomp? gary? wtf?
Maybe he meant if the driver swerve to any side to avoid a collision or just lost control.
I wouldn’t want to be in that lorry because realistically I am at the mercy of forces beyond my control. Its like Er Hu in the movie Warlords, he had a lot of power but still put himself all alone, causing him to be easily assasinated in the end.
…you just drew a cinematic parallel in a comment on my blog post about daredevil funeral band members.
*golf clap*
seriously though, doesn’t this shit happen all the time with 3-tonners?
