Lab 10,979 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I heard of someone who was killed by a tiny pebble which fell from the top of a mountain somewhere and they just happened to be standing at the bottom off this cliff/mountain. Dead instantly. Cant see it......does that mean a big hail stone could potentailly kill you? I can't remember where I saw it but I seem to remember reading that someone was killed by a hailstone.. I'm off to look it up now FFS, Never mind bullets, after reading this I'm not going out in a hailstorm ever again! : http://en.wikipedia....adly_hailstorms ..........come on ffs! Skycat said a 'small peeble'......some of they storms are reported hail as big as bloody grapefruits....... I like hail funnily enough......join in if you like "Hail, Hail the Celts are here"....... It's a very similar sounding word that usually springs to mind when the celts are mentioned....................... FAIL Thats poor................ Quote Link to post
