I May Finally Destroy My GoPro with my Latest Idea!

[Munchito696]

I'm a bit nervous to test out my warranty, but the store I bought the extended warranty from said I could even show them a video of me destroying my camera on purpose as long as I bring back all the pieces. I think it might be worth the $60 I would have to pay to get another GoPro with the same warranty for my latest idea though! My buddy on my bowling team throws his bowling ball like Thor's hammer. I want to mount the camera on the 10 pin and have him launch a strike ball and capture the destruction close up and in slow motion. Do you think that shot would be worth the $60 to get a new camera with the same warranty? It might even survive, but this may be the worst thing I've done to it yet!

It'll easily survive that... providing it has the housing on it!

I think it will survive too, I've already hit it with a big rock that I chucked at it. My buddy throws really f*****g hard though, but the ball is not what I'm worried about because he shouldn't directly hit the 10 pin. The pin setter is what scares me, I'm not sure if there are parts back there that can crush my camera. I almost think the camera would break the bowling alley now that I think about it though!

I'm thinking I'll just have them turn off the lane after the pins get smashed so it doesn't go into the machine, then just have one of them go down and get my camera. I'm just nervous about what's behind there, I've been behind the lanes at a different bowling alley and it looks scary!

Yeah I'm it would be cool to just get the permission of a chill worker and then they could possibly help you out with it too. I mean they'd sort of notice you walking up there to mount it anyways right?
