"Sneaky Driver"

When Elaine and I were in Paris, we saw these metal cylindrical barriers that would pop in and out of the ground to prevent vehicles from driving where they weren't supposed to (back alleys, mostly). Garbage trucks and other "official" vehicles can cause the barriers to retract into the pavement; after the truck drives over, the cylinder pops back up.

At the time, I remember asking myself, "Huh! I wonder what would happen if someone were on top of one of those things when it popped out of the ground?"

Well, someone found out. And it's on YouTube.

Awesome.

(Tip 'o the hat to BoingBoing for this one.)
