joel-bruss-drunk-zamboniIt doesn't happen often, in fact up until recently there was only a single instance of a person getting a DUI while Zamboni-ing. We now have a second! Joel Bruss of Apple Valley, Minnesota became the lucky second contestant when police were called in to the Hayes Arena after witnesses saw him bouncing off the sideboards and "careening" wildly on the ice.

Upon approaching Bruss, police noted that he was "unsteady on his feet and smelled of an alcoholic beverage." After failing field sobriety tests, Bruss was taken to the station for a more comprehensive blood alcohol test.

Here's my question, how drunk is too drunk to drive a Zamboni? It's in an enclosed rink, everyone gets off the ice in advance of it, how dangerous can it be, really?

We need some scientists to get on this ASAP; I'm willing to be a test subject if they need one...
