It would've been video of the century if he completely flew out of the tower. Oh well, close enough.

That particular type of bell, a free-swinging bell of the non-stay variety, is supposed to be rung by one man using pretty much one hand. You're supposed to bring the bell a half turn in one direction such that the bell bottom, the open end, is facing up. We'll call that a clockwise turn. Then you bring it to a stop at the vertical and let to fall back again counterclockwise along the path it just traveled. You let it fall through resting state, then use the rope to slow the bell to less than a three-quarter rotation in the other direction, still moving counterclockwise to a stop. The bell then slows to a stop and begins to move clockwise again and the process repeats. It gives the bell that distinctive 'bong-bong, bong-bong' sound everyone remembers. The bell is never supposed to move more than half a turn, past vertical in either direction, otherwise the above happens. I've done it once before myself and it punched my arms through the drywall ceiling. Luckily I let go of the rope at about that time.

So the one bellringer said what did you say, I can't hear anything, and the other bell ringer said what did you say, I can't hear anything and the third bell ringer said what did you say, I can't hear anything and then Wrath posted some bell ringing crap and then Dou, oh forget it
