The steel cage at UFC Freedom 250 effectively functions as a giant lightning rod; if a thunderstorm produces a strike, the current could electrify the entire structure instantly, killing fighters, referees, and anyone in contact with it, while also endangering nearby spectators through conduction and triggering mass panic in the crowd.
>>537034145Would've been metal af. Missed opportunity
Okay
>>537034208The fight is tomorrow.
nobody will die, they have security medical there
>>537034145achsually if you're inside the cage you'll be safe
>>537034145What if you were to put a cable from it to the ball room basement? Could that power some stuff?
>>537034145Reported to the FBI
75% chance of rain in D.C. right at 8pm
>>537034145So, um, don't hold an event outside in a lightning storm? Whoa.
>>537034145>>537034351Good throw Obama Hillary and all the AIPAC politicians in the ring >>537034315>Nobldy will die when hit by lightning
>>537034395Lightning is literally fake
>>537034284They keep saying it might rain, then i seen the little roof just covering the octagon so rain can come in sideways, something big will happen thats for sure. Could be lightening, aliens, chinook helicopter backflip, jesus or rain but they are planning on something coming from the sky.
>>537034315hey now, don't say that, we Aspinall fans are all really hoping Pereira kills Gane
>>537034415It's very real. Nukes and the moon landing are Jewish myths
>>537034343You bet.
>>537034145>a thread died for this shitty ai shillpost glowniggitryI hate nu/pol/
>>537034145This isn't india where electricity is still considered magic. And also unlike india God loves America and God loves Trump! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY COUNTRY YOU STINKING FUCKING JAMNIGGER PAJEET!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!USA!!!
>>537034544Cool.
>>537034145So you're saying we should do a rain dance or something?
>>537034145
>>537034145>trust my science, bro
>>537034395You can survive a lightning strike
>>537034343To what end? What kind of machinery would require a instantaneous, massive burst of power and the souls of multiple people killed?And why would it be places under the white house of all places?
>>537034145THUNDERDOME
>>537034145THE CHUTZPAH
>>537034145Good thing they covered the octogon then.
>>537039189yeah...
>>537039189it's brilliant I wonder toothpaste do you guys also teach each other to hide under trees
This would be so funny
>>537034145>effectively functions asdescribe how.
>>537039353While the Faraday cage effect theoretically shields the interior of a steel structure from direct current penetration, expert consensus from organizations like the National Weather Service and OSHA emphasizes that the risk profile for temporary outdoor structures remains critically high due to three distinct failure modes that negate theoretical safety: **side-flashing**, **ground potential rise (GPR)**, and **evacuation-induced panic**. First, the "Claw" acts as a preferential strike point; if the lightning current (30–50 kA) encounters any impedance in the grounding system or if a fighter/referee stands within ~1 meter of a support column, a **side-flash** (arc) can jump from the steel to the human body, causing instantaneous electrocution or cardiac arrest. Second, and more lethally for the crowd, the injection of massive current into the earth creates a **ground potential rise**, generating deadly voltage gradients (step voltage) across the saturated South Lawn; as noted in lightning physics literature, this mechanism is responsible for the majority of lightning fatalities in groups (analogous to cattle deaths in fields), meaning spectators fleeing the structure could be killed simply by standing with feet apart on wet grass. Finally, experts warn that temporary structures like tents and open-air steel grids do not provide adequate shelter, and the mandatory evacuation of 85,000+ people into a thunderstorm significantly increases the probability of mass casualties not from the strike itself, but from the **chaos of movement** through an electrified ground field, rendering the "safe zone" inside the cage irrelevant if the exit path is a lethal voltage gradient.
>>537039353You might be a little slow if you couldn't figure that out.
I really hate how retarded and brown /pol/ has become. Dana Nigger already said if it rains, they will just wait until it stops raining.
>>537039353**Simplified response for the "mentally handicapped."**Imagine the giant metal "Claw" over the fighting cage is like a huge metal pole that lightning loves to hit. Even though the metal cage *should* safely carry the electricity down into the ground (like a slide), things can go wrong in three scary ways:1. **The Jump (Side-Flash):** If the electricity traveling down the metal poles finds it easier to jump through the air than go all the way to the ground, it might zap anyone standing too close (like the fighters or referee). It’s like the lightning saying, "This person is a faster path to the ground!" and jumping off the cage to hit them.2. **The Ground Shock (Step Voltage):** When the lightning hits the ground, it spreads out like ripples in a pond, but with deadly electricity. If you are running away with your feet apart, the electricity can enter one leg and exit the other, shocking your heart. This is very dangerous for the thousands of people trying to run away from the cage on the wet grass.3. **The Panic:** Even if the lightning doesn't hit anyone directly, the loud boom and bright flash can scare 85,000 people at once. When everyone tries to run at the same time in the dark and rain, people can get pushed, trampled, or hurt just trying to get to safety.So, even if the cage is built to be safe, the risk is still very high because the lightning might jump, the ground might shock you, or the crowd might panic.
>>537039353that should help I asked it to explain for a mentally handicapped child
I know it's a little complicated for retards
>>537034436yeahdid they use the structure somewhere else before or is it a prototype ?
>>537039189>picngl thats pretty cool
>>537034695yeah after checking if the big event happening on fht white hosue lawn in celebration of the 250 anniversary of the founding of the USA can be viewed for free by everyone in the world like you knowFREEDOM and shieetyeah, no... you have to get a subscription for at least $9.99 per month at Paramount+ to view the big "FREEDOM 250" eventfucking pathetic americanswhat the fuck lol 9.99$ to get a feel of what "FREEDOM" means ? like seriously ?lmaoyou arleady payid for that freedom with your forsekin and now they want $9.99 to watch it ?fuck yeah, why not $6.66 instead ? as a bove so below right ?so sadpatheticfuckultra sad
