Sounds pretty cool Car!!!! Id just be a little wary about jumping off the platform close to those Ginsu knives. I know how it feels to accidentally run my leg into one of those tips. The bleeding just doesn't stop unless I cauterize the wound with the Oxy-Acetylene torch in the garage.

Agree 100%
Would post a pic, but don't want to gross anyone out. This summer while sanding behind my boat decided to check how much clearance
I had from the sand to hull at a shoal we anchor at, as the tide was going out. YES I HAD A FEW, so judgement not the best. While pulling my foot back out a wave lifted the boat up just enough to send one of the prop blades directly into my shin as it settled back down. Amazing how white bone actually is. Stupid, yeah I know, lessoned learned. Thing took close to 7 hours before it finally stopped bleeding. Should have went and got stiched but decided to go to dinner instead. Now I got a nice little reminder on my shin to go along with all the other reminders I got from the knee down.
Those things however look like they would amputate not just lacerate!
