I understand laughing at the misfortunes of others...and to be honest...I often have mixed emotions when cakes and sugar sculptures crash at competitions (sometimes I think it's sad, sometimes I think it's funny). But this killed me. Putting your soul into a piece of art is different than crashing a car into a tree or losing something monetary. It's different than getting hurt physically. Really, I find it different than a misfortune. I don't feel the pain of the person crashing their car. I am detached so it is funny. But these men...I feel their pain. So it makes me sad. If you look closely, the base of the archer's body if very centrally located. She/he is not laying down at the end, but lifted up with little weight at the corner in question. I am positive that calculations were done with excruciating accuracy. The chance of this crash may have been high, but it was probably less than 50%, meaning that these men felt confident in taking the chance. Also, these blocks of ice aren't just cut off a glacier around the corner or something. They are made in a painstaking and expensive process to create the ridiculously clear ice. That means these blocks are rare and precious. This is not a fail. It is inspiration...and sometimes inspiration is trial and error. This video made me cry.

Every year people push the envelope and stuff falls over. Just usually isn't filmed. Not sure why this one was. Just lucky I guess. People are cheering because he walked away. It was about 20 tons of ice. It shook the ground when it went down. There is a documentary coming out (I'm in it) http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=jkIYYrKDyK8&feature=related Try

Sad or not, the human race has a natural delight in watching disasters. Second, it's a fail because the guy was obviously a professional ice sculptor and had done this beautiful sculpture... and then started to saw through the pillar that supported the heaviest part of the sculpture. What was he thinking? That was a dumb move on anyone's part, especially those who should know better, and thus deserves a fail. Well, for one, it’s funny to watch things fall down.
