Out of curiosity, for those who've seen the tour/videos...

...how long do we all give before Bono seriously injures himself or another band member with that swinging microphone/steering wheel dealie?

 

[Axver]

I'm stunned it hasn't happened already!

Was it JT Syracuse that was meant to be the DVD, but he was in a sling for most of the show???

Oh God, I had this pained expression on my face watching him walk on the edge of the stage, because I know it's just a matter of time.

I am betting on someone getting hit in the face by a flying microphone.

Bono sometimes gets a little carried away working with brand new equpiment.

(que video of Bono falling during UTEOTW on the first night working with the heart runway )

The steering wheel would make a great visual prop for Zoo Station

"Ready to let go of the steering wheel!!"

"Ready to let go of the steering wheel!!"

More like "Ready to go play some Mario Kart"

 

[Rosebud]

My thoughts exactly...

He may just attempt to fly further into the audience at some point, with the mic, but when he lands, well, that might not be pretty.
Careful Bono, we need this tour to go off without any broken bones

Can I bring my Wii Mario Cart steering wheel to the show

I think everyone should. A suitable replacement for the masks.

Actually, in the video from the first night from Ultra Violet, he almost does fall.

YouTube - U2 Barcelona 2009-06-30 Ultra Violet

Around the 2:18-2:22 mark.




He looks at it like "WTF?!", but it does look like it wasn't actually him, but the wheel jerked. That's why he looks up.

SO it does! I still hope he maintains this act, need some random fun during the set, and be honest, if you could get off with doing this you'd want to!
