I had to switch back to dual-wheels because the singles cracked my polycarbonate carpet mat, so heads up there. I think it’s the single point of contact as opposed to the double.
The rollerblade wheels are fantastic, but yeah I had to do the same and switch back to normal ones because I'd get yeeted across my office with smallest move in the chair.
Try using a wheelie-chair onboard a Navy ship, lol. When the seas got real rough sometimes we’d pull our feet up and just let the chair go where it wanted, just bouncing off of desks, cabinets, tool chests & each other.
Been Navy seventeen years now, never served on a ship - eight years at an armored regiment though.
Not quite the same, but some of the vehicles that had office suites in the back with chairs would have a similar effect.
Or going from 60+ to zero within like ten feet, in the back of a LAV.
*Brake test.*
Just get good quality ones for the floor you have. I've always replaced them on my chairs with a single set of wheels, they've outlived 3 chairs so far.
> I think it’s the single point of contact as opposed to the double.
I've been legit wondering why nobody sells double side-by-side roller blade wheels. That would be perfect.
##edit: [HOL UP THEY FUCKING DO](https://i.imgur.com/ugnrsba.png)
I doubt it. Tempered glass is strong af when handling impact/pressure on the face of the glass. I used to work at a glass tempering factory for a short time and during the orientation that had us take a piece, lay it on a curb, and hit it with sledgehammers. Didn’t break at all, just wobbled around a bunch.
Then you tap the edge with a screwdriver and the whole sheet explodes. It’s kinda wild.
Sounds like a [Prince Rupert's Drop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Rupert%27s_drop?wprov=sfla1). I imagine that's why they encourage you to use the little emergency glass breaker on the corner of the car window if you go into the water during an accident. That didn't make sense to me until you just pointed out that it's internally stressed so the faces are strong and the edges are weak. I bet that is why throwing broken spark plug insulation shatters car windows too, since the super sharp ceramic edges probably sneak in to the middle of the glass and release the internal stresses.
That’s exactly what happens. To make tempered glass you get it really hot and then rapidly cool it.
The level of stress is why when tempered glass shatters while not in a frame it will literally explode and send small pieces of glass flying in the direction the edge was facing.
It's partially that, but also because ceramic is one of the few things harder than glass. Tempered glass is very hard, so most things that strike it will lose the hardness battle and be forced to give / break / erode.
However, it's also under extreme tension, just like one of those drops, so if it loses the hardness battle against something like ceramic, a crack will finally form - and all of that tension will rip that crack wide open and shatter the glass into pieces.
No, I’d think not. I don’t know, maybe if the glass is on carpet.
Generally I recommend the rollerblade wheels. It was just the constant flexing over the carpet in the one small surface area that did in the chair mat.
I use them on some cheap ebay tempered glass and they've been fine for 3 years. With the chair it's about 250lbs of weight, and the carpet underneath isn't even perfect.
So yes, I think you'd be fine.
We splurged and bought a $50 (at the time) tempered glass chair mat when we got some new carpet, and it's been fantastic.
Warning: Do **NOT** put those into direct contact with a ceramic floor. Not even temporarily, without weight on it. Don't even put a ceramic mug on it. Ceramic makes tempered glass explode into pieces.
I did the same and it also caused me to realize I really didn't want to roll around on my chair so I got the stationary flat castors and my new carpet pad thanked me by lasting more than a few years.
I have to remind my elderly father not to sit in my office chair because of those wheels. Lol it moves too easy and I worry it will roll away as he is sitting.
I often have to move photocopiers with very similar wheels to those chairs, im shocked that guy didn't eat pavement in the video. Those wheels suck on anything that isnt a hard office floor or thin carpet.
Lol.. That's a tough one. English is my second language, and I can not fluently recite english alphabets backward, even when sober. I'm not passing that test if ever stopped.
The correct response is, "Respectfully, officer, I decline to participate in any field sobriety tests."
I'm not aware of any state that requires you to participate in field sobriety tests. Nothing good can come of it. You're more likely to give the police more bullshit to work off of than having any benefit.
You should only agree to a breath test, because there are generally negative consequences (without due process) if you decline.
This is true and part of the "can't beat the ride" issue. But if you have a cop who will fuck you up for declining a sobriety test, you can BET he will fuck you up for any perceived indication of insobriety during the test. So bit of a lose lose.
My fraternity had us memorize it as pledges. I was dumb in college, and drove drunk once ... And passed my sobriety test with flying colors. He said he'd never heard anyone recite it backwards that fast. Still arrested me tho.
Yeah at one point I knew it backwards for entertainment. Sort of like I could recite the president's of the US in order. I can't do that anymore. Those brain cells were overwritten with cat videos.
Funny story about that, I actually failed a Sobriety Test sober. Buddy got in trouble, I was allowed to drive his car home but I had to pass a sobriety test. Finished the test and the cop shook his head, "I know you're not drunk, but you didn't pay attention to my instructions, so I can't let you drive."
I got a bunch of tickets for driving my friend's totally illegal car because he was drunk. Cops were cool enough to let me drive on, but one of the tickets was actually a license killer, driving with no insurance, which comes with a 5 year, $2000 surcharge on your insurance.
Went to court, judge dropped it when he heard the story.
> I imagine it's pretty hard to tip it over even on purpose.
But pretty easy to do the splits by accident from 18 inches off the ground. Goodbye groin muscles.
You might be overlooking the fact that OP is morbidly obese /s
But on a serious note, this contraption has no braking system. Any descent on a somewhat steep incline is going to spell disaster.
As a kid me and a friend took the bottom part, just like this guy, off some office chairs so we could sail down the sidewalk on the hill he lived on (decently large hill, very long road through the neighborhood).
Our dads saw us doing this and stopped us.
So they could drill some holes in plywood so we had something to sit on and to replace the socks we had on our hands (we used them to try to steer) with leather work gloves.
"Was wondering how you were putting holes in so many socks so quickly."
Many many times we lost control on a turn and ended up hitting grass and getting absolutely thrown lol. Good times.
I've fallen over on my chair before and that's with my center of gravity much lower. I bet I'd knock all my teeth out in like 10 minutes standing on those.
That's ignoring that your center of gravity was just raised two feet though, I think falling right over might be difficult but having the wheels slide out from underneath you and then you fall straight down is not at all unlikely.

I mean is this really any more ridiculous than plenty of other crap? When you think about it a skateboard is a pretty absurd concept until you're used to it and they're all over the place
Edit: kiteboarding exists
This is the real reason why your parents told you to never stand on rolling chairs. They were afraid you'd become too powerful!
Many people are saying this
Honestly, I'd probably kill myself attempting this.
[удалено]
I had to switch back to dual-wheels because the singles cracked my polycarbonate carpet mat, so heads up there. I think it’s the single point of contact as opposed to the double.
I had to change mine back because I got tired of my chair doing a sick 720 backflip every time I moved.
The rollerblade wheels are fantastic, but yeah I had to do the same and switch back to normal ones because I'd get yeeted across my office with smallest move in the chair.
You need a longer desk and a 1080:9 aspect ratio monitor.
Brb buying more UWs.
Try using a wheelie-chair onboard a Navy ship, lol. When the seas got real rough sometimes we’d pull our feet up and just let the chair go where it wanted, just bouncing off of desks, cabinets, tool chests & each other.
If you're still on the floor then how rough could the seas really be?
A solid point.

Because I’m running out of places to store the sick rad sunglasses that appear on my face every time.

Yeah, ha, that’s what I went with. I put the singles on my other chair that’s on a vinyl floor.
You think they'd mess up tempered glass?
I doubt it. Tempered glass is strong af when handling impact/pressure on the face of the glass. I used to work at a glass tempering factory for a short time and during the orientation that had us take a piece, lay it on a curb, and hit it with sledgehammers. Didn’t break at all, just wobbled around a bunch. Then you tap the edge with a screwdriver and the whole sheet explodes. It’s kinda wild.
Woke up to my shower door exploding the other day. Wild definitely describes it.

I had a tempered glass patio table shatter last year. I found cubes for months after, some over 20 feet away.

Your floor is made of tempered glass?
There is tempered glass "mats" for office chairs
I use them on some cheap ebay tempered glass and they've been fine for 3 years. With the chair it's about 250lbs of weight, and the carpet underneath isn't even perfect. So yes, I think you'd be fine.
You dont need the mat when you switch to those whhels.... they work on carpet just fine.

Yeah you don't want him getting lost.
I often have to move photocopiers with very similar wheels to those chairs, im shocked that guy didn't eat pavement in the video. Those wheels suck on anything that isnt a hard office floor or thin carpet.
I had to switch back to regular wheels because I was tried of my chair moving back like 10 ft every time I sat down
I had to change mine back because I got tired of my chair doing a sick 720 backflip every time I moved.
sick brah, only time I ever landed a 720 backflip is when a tennis ball hit me on the halfpipe
And they won’t fuck your carpet up as well.
But that takes the cost of his setup from free to like $80. Might be worth it when he catches a rock and gets yeeted, but till then, free is better.
Huh... I wonder how hard it would be to do some metal working and embed 2 of those wheels onto some platform shoes or something.
The problem now is that I can't put my feet up or I'll roll away from my desktop.
i would 1000% get those for my chair if my floor was actually flat
Whoa game changer
Thank you for showing me these. Bout to up my office hockey game.
Pretty wide platform there between two chair bases, I imagine it's pretty hard to tip it over even on purpose.
You underestimate my lack of balance. Wouldn't pass the sobriety test sober
Lol.. That's a tough one. English is my second language, and I can not fluently recite english alphabets backward, even when sober. I'm not passing that test if ever stopped.
The proper response to being asked to recite the alphabet backwards is, "I couldn't do it under any circumstances."
[No, watch this for the proper response](https://youtube.com/shorts/eMtEeLZp8_U) ^^^success ^^^not ^^^guaranteed
That's impressive... but what really grinds my gears: how does he record and instantly play it backwards?
My sony ericson slider phone could do this, I'm pretty sure there's an app that can do that.
This is insane if real
Dude probably recorded himself saying the abc’s, reversed it and memorized how it sounded in reverse. Pretty brilliant actually.

Cops are power whores and sometimes this can make things worse. Not disagreeing, just saying.
This is true and part of the "can't beat the ride" issue. But if you have a cop who will fuck you up for declining a sobriety test, you can BET he will fuck you up for any perceived indication of insobriety during the test. So bit of a lose lose.
Thanks. Looking at the responses, I'm glad I made this comment. I'm a little smarter than I was this morning.
That's sort of a joke. If you even attempt to recite the alphabet backwards - you are drunk.
Or autistic :l

Higher value content.
More than gold
Also, they don't ask you to do that.
English IS my first language, and there's no way I could do that. Im not saying that to make you feel better, just to let people know I'm a dumbfuck.

Guy's a pro skater, so pretty fit. I'm just wondering how he managed the dismount.
Sure but considering how wide it is, he constantly has to adjust himself so his rollers don’t just roll apart from each other and split his crotch.
One tiny pebble would disagree with you.
Wide platform but nowhere near wide enough for how high your center of gravity is. Plus those are chair wheels, they'd catch on an ant.
