I believe Gavin Should have thrown one of the Boxes at Mike....

Now for some follow up Questions, If you toss the Boxes end first do you achieve the same results???
Try from say the shipping table, push it off end first. Then try it at say 6 feet like just over your head like if you were lifting it off a shelf and it fell on the end.

What If the delivery guy uses it for a wheel chock and drives over it???
You would be surprised what some of these companies can do to a package...

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted lol.

We actually did this test prior to the film crew filming it for us. The first round of tests, the heads survived the stair and forklift test. In fact, we stabbed the box with the forklift lol. Throwing it out of the truck, the cylinder head came completely out of the box and caused quite a bit of damage to include cracking along the parting line where the intake flange and valve cover flange meet. It was hilarious lol.

I like It!!! When it comes to Mike, Just remember 1 thing. Customer approval is far more important than management approval... Sorry Mike... That bus is gonna get you sooner or later... LOL

Those other things would of been good to see. Except maybe the road rash incident.... I don't see that one being redeemable in any way. If it comes to an incident like that where it the box can no longer hold the contents, clearly it would have been obviously miss handled at that point.
