We can't say if this is a good idea or bad idea, we will let you decide.  Either way, they earned themselves the award this week!   [via GIPHY](https://giphy.com/gifs/cheezburger-fun-win-TwiwnEyeKIjeg) This guy had to have the time of his life, but who in their right mind would sign up for this? Sure, we all trust our equipment, but we know things can go wrong quickly. He was one small mistake away from turning the greatest swing ever into a human catapult!   ## Not sure what Sharq Blades are? These blades are designed to take the high stress work out of grading and plowing. Sharq's cutting edges for graders, snow plows, and other heavy equipment are designed to cut through hard packed material with barely any force. Instead of running your machine at high RPMs, these blades require very little to no down pressure. This means less vibration and stress on the operator and the machine.
