The ones that didn't flinch now have it in their permanent records that they'll volunteer for anything...

neither do i. weird. who comes up with this stuff?
actually the Leopard 2 weights 67.5 ton and has a road based top speed of 44 mph (speed limited). i don't think it was actually doing that speed, though.
nevertheless, although the act was pretty stupid, i'm sure it was safe as well: brakes in tanks are extremely reliable and given the mechanics of braking a solid moving object on two large flat solid surfaces (the tracks at full stop) on a concrete surface, this would have been calculated to the centimetre. i trained on the Leopard 1 and they basically stop on a dime. nevertheless, i would never have volunteered for something like this.

Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2014 11:37 amIs it worth pointing out that we no longer have guilders, just Euros? 
I agree tho, I don't see the point of it save a good video.

Luckily no one was about with a bit of soapy water or an oil water mix solution. lol
