Deadman Danny story

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm going to tell you a shocking secret: at Fairfax Industries we know nothing about safety. Now let me tell you something even MORE shocking... that's a good thing! Now in my tenure here I have been shot, stabbed, impaled, defenestrated, blown up, atomized, and decapitated-not once. not twice. not thrice. but quice. That's right, my head has been cut off enough times that I had to use a made up word to quantify it. But I put myself through figurative and sometimes literal hell because it's not enough to THINK about how things go wrong, we need to KNOW how things go wrong. Now the demonstration you are about to witness is extremely dangerous. So sit back. Put on your safety googles. And bear witness to the miracle of flight courtesy of Fairfax Industries, and the Chimera Mark 1." - This transcription of Danny's opening remarks at The Military Technology Expo has been provided by Fairfax Industries
