Can anybody understand these people, just curious of what they were saying.

Secondly, look how they use the o2, very strange.

I pm'd him through You-Tube.

I asked him if he was diagnosed with clusters headaches, I asked him if he was on any meds, and I gave him the link to the clustermasx. I'll let you know if he pm's me back.

It looks like he was hitting the O2 straight off the regulator. I know someone here who does that. Sounded like he was wasting a bunch of it, too. I have to admit, it hurt my head to watch him laying back. Am I the only one who can't do that?

Ummmm .. am I the only Doubting Thomas here?

This person MAY have clusters, but this did not look realistic in several parts ... It looked to be a performance, to me.  

The most obvious, to me, was when he DID put the oxygen mask on, and was supposedly breathing it in, the bag never changed size.  I know when I use the O2, and others I have witnessed,  that bag inflates and deflates with each breath.

Maybe I am wrong.  I was once .. when I thought I was wrong, but I wasn't, so I was wrong in thinking I was wrong.

I can't lay down either, the only person I know of who could do that was Cooty's husband.

I wondered when I saw the mask later in the video, if he doesn't use it during an attack because his bag closes due to a low pressure regulator?

i can only pace until it gets to a 9 or so, then it hurts so much that i can see anymore, i cant walk anymore, but i still cant lay still like that,  I can understand though that everybody is different.

i used to act like that though,  about 10 years ago.  I look back fondly, and think,  wow, those were the good old days.  I thought things were bad, i thought the pain couldnt get anyworse, i would cry and roll around and lay down.  boy was I wrong,

i was in tears for this guy, and it sent an instant pain into my head.  I swear, sometimes just thinking about getting a ch,  makes my head hurt.  does this mean ch is only "in our heads?"  ha ha [smiley=laugh.gif]

I have my "runway" cleared in my home, It is from the bedroom into the living room to the kitchen and back. I repeat this several times until done! :P
This is a 50 foot runway with one obstacle, a cat scratch post about half way, that I deflect off of a few times. :)

I dont think I made it to a minute.  I have never seen a hit on video nor do I ever want to.  I tried today but couldn't.

Post by Sandy_C on Mar 9th, 2007, 2:32pm
Well, I'm confused as well.  He's got a tank there, but it's not hooked up with the regulator and mask - a lady brings that in, but backs away, and it's not hooked up.  Why not?  He should be hitting that tank and mask from the get go!

I feel so sorry for the man, because, unless he's a great actor, he does seem to be in pain.  But, he's got the 02 there, but not ready to go?  From my own experience, and what I've read from all of you, that tank is ALWAYS hooked up and ready to rock and roll when you are.

When it's finally hooked up, I also don't see a rebreather mask, bag inflation/deflation, etc.

And, no, once I hit a k5, there is no laying down prone.  I'm not a pacer, but I am a rocker, sitting upright, until I hit the lovely K8 or above.  Then, I'm in a fetal position.

Oh, and as a side thought - I can't read French, but if you watch right at the beginning there is a phrase that scrolls across the screen that has the word "derriere" in it.  

I always thought that "derriere" had something to do with one's buttocks, but, as I said, I don't know French.   ;;D

Post by nani on Mar 9th, 2007, 3:48pm
Just to clarify, I meant lay with my head back. I can lay down during a lower level attack, but it's on my side, in the fetal postion. Sandy, I thought I heard the O2 hissing the whole time. That's why I thought he was eventually just hitting the regulator. I couldn't watch after that. I hope someone can contact him.

Sandy that "derriere" means behind - the phrase is "an insufferable pain behind the eye"

Great job Helen  [smiley=hug.gif]  I was trying to get my French on, so I understood some of the language on his website, but it looks like a sad and lonely message board.  Only himself and one other poster.

From what I could understand, there wasn't specific details as to how to effectively use 02... so he may not know how, which wouldn't be surprising.  How many people had been given a cannula to use only to return the 02 as useless.  

I've watched many a hit, everyone's looks different to me, and watching this young man, whom I don't know, still was very hard to watch.  

Hopefully, someone will go to his site :  

http://algie.vasculaire.free.fr/modules/edito/

and point him in the right direction.

Actually Patty, about O2, Dave (nots) says it's better for him when he hits it like that. In the video he didn't want the non rebreather.

What this dumb fuck is doing is slowly purging the tank and filling the whole room with 02......one spark and the whole house goes up!

When hes hanging on the tank hes hanging on the valve protector, it screws down over the valve to protect from snapoff.

Did someone say hes French?......go figure!...LOL ;;D

Post by Lizzie2 on Mar 9th, 2007, 10:40pm
Technically, the reservoir bag on a nonrebreather mask should not deflate when using it.  What often causes the bag to deflate is hyperventilation or breathing too rapidly to allow the bag to fill completely.  Also, in an attempt to "get more O2 faster" - people take gulping breaths and the bag deflates.  Usually, in the medical world, people are instructed to keep the O2 flow high enough so that the bag can't deflate - it's generally acceptible to deflate about 1/3, from what I've read.

For me, the bag doesn't deflate much unless I take a breath that is so huge that it actually hurts....and then take several more breaths so fast that the bag doesn't have time to refill.  Now my lungs are smaller than an adult male, as I'm a small frame person - so my tidal volume (cc's of air your lungs can hold) is smaller than an adult male's!

I can only say that the one thing I was taught was that if someone is deflating the bag and the flow is on max, to try to tell them to slow their breathing if they can.  I wouldn't dare tell somebody mid-attack to do that, but that's what we were taught in school anyway.

So in the end - it won't deflate for everyone.  Depends on breathing rate, depth, etc.

What dumb fuck and scare monger!

The room looks like it has a capacity of 30-40 m3. Adding 1 or 2 m3 O2 from the tank increases the oxygen content from the normal 21% to 22 or 23%, a far cry from "filling the whole room with 02". Furthermore, oxygen does neither burn nor explode, it does promote combustion - but only if the is combustible stuff present. Like the propelling gas from a can of hair spray, which is a far more dangerous item to have in the house than a tank of oxygen.

It looks like to be a dumb fuck it is not necessary to be French.

Oxygen fire pic from a fairly small bottle.
Things one typically does not believe to be fuel become fuel as the local oxygen content increases... such as metals.
The aluminum cylinder itself has a surprisingly low ignition point.

Also note that the narrowing inside a regulator is a recompression point, fulfilling the heat requirement of the fire triangle... even more so at our higher flow rates.

Post by AlienSpaceGuy on Mar 11th, 2007, 1:28pm
Well, I try to answer for Ueli. How the hell can you saturate anything with oxygen when the air has only a content of about 23%?
I assume "anything" includes also the water in an aquarium that is kept saturated with oxygen. But I never heard of one going off like a rocket.

I don't belive there exists some magical cloth that absorbs oxygen in a huge amount, like a sponge absorbs water.

If the guy in the video would light up his Gauloise after the attack, it would burn slightly faster, but only noticeable to a very attentive observer.

Have you ever seen a fire near an O2 tank Ueli? I can assure you it bloody well does accelerate it and scare the bejaysus out of you to boot.

Title: Re: Another Ch attack added on You-Tube today
Post by Lobster on Mar 11th, 2007, 1:35pm
Point of clarification though...
I was only speaking for the direct vicinity of the bottle.

Keeping the bottle open without a regulator is not much different than you exhaling through your mask.  Your body is not absorbing much of the pure oxygen you had in your lungs for 2 seconds.

If you want a worse scenario than the video, take someone who does O2 in their car.  By the time the hit is over the inside of your car is practically an oxygen tent.  And your most likely action immediately after the hit is to start hitting electrical switches... radios, wipers, lights, ignition... which are all in close proximity to fuels... soft metals, plastics, oils, carpets...

You get the picture.

Unless it's cold outside, in which case I've been known to drive sucking down O2 with all the windows down.

But you're right most of the time. In the summer, I've got the a/c cranking.

Post by Lobster on Mar 11th, 2007, 2:22pm
Here is a cool vid.
Now ignore the whole 'bottle exploding' thing.
Pay attention to the fact that everything around the bottle when it discharged is now burning.
A high concentration of oxygen, even if only for a fraction of a second, really promotes ignition.

Indeed.

Folks are disputing two points and are referencing points valid for one when referring to the other... which is fairly par for this course.
One is 'overall o2 concentration in an enclosed space', versus 'pure o2 as it flows from the reg'.

Ueli is correct in his arguments, regarding the overall room being safe, and the others correct in theirs, in the common dangers of a flowing o2 port.

My astute reference was just pointing out that damn near anything could combust with trivial heat under a wash of pure o2.

This is for the most part true.  However, MOST at home flow meters do not go much beyound 15 LPM.  In the hospital we have meters that go WAY beyound that .  The only way to insure that yhou are getting 100% 02 is to keep the bag from deflating.
