    Voyage(r) of Destruction

    The gloves come off as Nick DEMANDS Corsair deliver a vestal Voyager to the sacrificial table. What dark and twisted menace awaits this poor little memory stick in 'The Village' ?...
    Watch the show.

    Must admit this testing to destruction has definately peaked my interest. Can't wait to see the outcome! What kind of distance are you looking at for the shot?

    Re: Voyage(r) of Destruction

    Can you say bye-bye voyager and bye to the data on there? I'll be definately suprised if the rubbery one survives a good shooting

    I reckon the survivor would... well survive this episode of tested to destruction.

    The last few tests have all used the same one, because Nick forgot to bring the new ones down... so I ended up donating my own personal stick - which is over a year old and 'well saggy' !

    GUYS, can I just say, in case it is not completely obvious, but we do work really

    hard to make sure all of this testing is done in the safest possible way, and we

    genuinely expect to suffer no significant injuries while doing them. We use experts

    where possible - stand well back - and wear appropriate clothing etc.

    Please don't try anything dangerous yourselves... simply post it on here...

    we'll do the risk assessment, buy more insurance and head out with our cameras

    on your behalf...

    Thanks! Really looking forward to see the video. I was kind of disappointed not to see any ballistics in the "trailer".
