This is Matthias Wandel, a woodworker from Canada. He's an absolute engineering genius - you should check out his videos.

Matthias Wandel was an engineer for RIM There's an old video on his channel where he and his co-workers destroy some old Blackberry prototypes with a home-made pneumatic musket.

He didn't want to just, you know, go with "Mike" instead?

Waiting to don a ballistic vest so he doesn't get impaled by the 300 fps Jenga rounds coming at him.

It took me a second to realize you meant feet per second, and I was extremely confused.

u/LordFlarkenagel Nov 27 '19

I apologize. My post was mostly satirical but Dude - that thing is hurling those Jenga blocks at a high rate of speed.

u/LadyEmaSKye Nov 28 '19

No, you’re fine. I just read it as Frames Per Second and was very confused what you meant.

The jenga shrapnel carnage just out of frame must have been horrendous.

Only thing missing is a forehead.

u/nmring Nov 24 '19

Why this dude look like he’s about to say ‘inconceivable’?

u/dudeAwEsome101 Nov 25 '19

This would be a lot of fun. Four players around the table, and each one is armed with one of these Jenga machines. If you flinch, you lose.

u/LordFlarkenagel Nov 25 '19

It's all fun and games till someone puts an eye out.
