10 gallons doesn't seem like much when its contained, but all over the floor....

wow that stinks... but why would he video himself lifting weights in the first place?
at least he got a bucket under it after half of it drained... 5gal on the floor still warrents a clean up service! hope the floor wasn't wood (or unsealed like mine)

I remember putting my hand through a 10gal once.....that really sucked. The whole front pane of glass went, so I didn't have time to get a bucket. Luckily there was only 1 fish in the tank at the time. But the water went through my floor onto my stepdad's new table saw in the basement. $$$!!!!
Took over week to get the carpet completely dry with the use of a shop-vac.
luckily, I now live in a basement aparment, so water spilling onto the floor isn't that big a deal.

That was hilarious...because it almost happened to me! I use to have a home gym set up in my garage/den/fish room/fortress of solitude....I didn't collar the weight bar and a plate slid off to the right as I racked the bar...to the left was a fish tank..I got lucky....though I don't recall calling for my mommy or taping the incident.....
