Transcript:
Horses diving into a pool from 60 feet up were a major attraction in Atlantic City, New Jersey in the early 20th century! Axel Rosales, of Argentina, has 280 facial piercings! Ouch! Florescent bulb fighting is a popular sport in Japan!
I saw a TV movie once about a girl who dove with the horses. She was blinded in a diving accident with her horse, but kept on diving for years after.Basted on a true story..\\//_
The Atlantic City NJ Steel Pier Show was a major attraction, albeit rather cruel. It was finally stopped, I believe, in the 1970’s. http://www.steel-pier.com/dedicated_to_the_diving_horses.htm
Meh..Shriners meeting after quite a few Jack Danielshave got all that beat.(I can tell some stories about whatthey can do with those funny Fez caps and light bulbs while riding horses)

I always wanted to play water polo but could never get the damn horse into the pool. How the hell did they get one to dive from 60 feet up?!

Wow, ugly woman, cruelty to animals and people being glassed. Sounds like a night out at the Cross (Ozzie nightspot with a dubious reputation).

I wonder what would happen if if Rosales stood under an electro magnet and someone turned on the juice.

I spent 2 years in Japan in the early 2000s and never heard of fluorescent bulb fighting. Certainly not popular and most certainly not a sport….

Axel Rosales died today when his face was ripped off during a routine security screening at an Argentine airport.
