You need to come to the USA and go storm chasing!

I'll give $50,000 to anyone willing to walk through that at a normal pace. No helmet.

I'd see how long I could stand outside before being injured. Maybe see what kind of bruising would be around the next day.

Pretty sure that hail that size, traveling fast enough to send water flying 10+ feet in the air, would be enough to kill you.

your corpse would have some bruising though

I'm visiting Family in OK right now, we were in that storm when it hit Tulsa. No Hail in NE Oklahoma but it was a pretty intense storm. There was another one Wednesday night that had tornado sirens going off all night and produced the most rain,lightning, and thunder I have seen in 6 years. I love Midwest weather.

I just saw on the news that some guy was jogging and couldn't get shelter when it hit. He had massive welts all over his back. Luckily someone driving by let him in their car.

I'm so glad I live in the NW...biggest hail I've ever seen was marble sized. No tornadoes, very seldom have lightning strikes, a little snow, low humidity, cool summer temperatures...

Saw this on WIMP as well. I love to watch the weather when it's out of control. Not enough to live there, but I like to watch it. It would suck to be caught in that.
