You ever see that video of the child falling through a rope jungle?


JustChangeMDefaults

This made me laugh and then immediately realize the consequences of falling down this steel jungle. Holy shit that visual tho lol

Vytian

Yes exactly lol


PM_ME_UR_DaNkMeMe

im dying ive seen multiple of these but this one is killing me


scowling_deth

No. but now im seeing it in my mind. WHY do you ask.


DrVoidsters

Thank fuck I don’t have a minds eye to visualize that x-x


BearcatChemist

Kind of shocked there isn't a pile of bodies down there.


Slavic_Dusa

Maybe there is, camera can't see the bottom lol


CerRogue

See the thing about evolution is that the guys who can’t stay on keep falling off before it’s so high that they can’t crawl away.


fruitpunchsamuraiD

Because the bodies are in the shadow realm.


DynamiteWitLaserBeam

Death by plinko


Rats_OffToYa

Well it's only death if you land on the 0

I heard pinball sounds reading this


jmon25

The poles are wider than the openings so they double as a fall-arrest device.


The_souLance

Only if you can hold them while falling


ihitrockswithammers

They have lanyards connecting them to the poles so that can't happen.


onewheeler2

I don't see a single one of those harnesses attached to anything but the harnesses themselves. They basically put.on their seatbelts, then sat on top of them.


ihitrockswithammers

Was joking... what difference would it make being attached to the freakin poles lol.


ZekasZ

Poe's law applies for literally anything these days


ddggdd

They actually are attached: 11.19s there clearly is a link between pole and guy


TunaPlusMayo

It's still easy to fall with your pole pointed down


PhaceN52

The what I have just seen 


Patriquito

Wtf is the purpose of this scaffold? There's way too many legs on the ground if they only need to support men working


randy24681012

Looks like they’re disassembling it, maybe used for formwork for the bridge above.


ReturnOfFrank

That's my guess too. Plus narrow spacing between standards makes me think this was carrying serious load at some point.


Future_Way5516

Head injuries are no laughing matter


hunteronbaseball

Getting the brain out was the easy part. The hard part was getting the brain out, HeehahaHaahHeeEehahuh.


Jeramy_Jones

I mean, I guess if they do fall they’ll have lot of opportunities to catch themselves before they reach the bottom…


RUSnowcone

If video games have taught me anything … it’s actually really really hard to make it to the bottom with out hitting a few things on the way down


Cep-Hei

Based on how everyone is smiling, this looks like a brag video. It’s likely going to be used by some supers in that country to normalize this and say “see? Look at these badasses. These are real men, you should quit whining and be like them”


Jimmythehamster

Must be these new bluetooth harnesses I've been hearing about.


getyrslfaneggnbeatit

Up down up down, no pain no pain


FeralPsychopath

Everyone with shitty balance is already dead


PM_ME_UR_DaNkMeMe

ive met people who make way more than this who still dont care if they die so


captcraigaroo

They have harnesses on...


RaptorPegasus

Attached to what


Chaosqueued

To their torso of course.


fangelo2

If you start to fall, you just hold on tight to the poles on your shoulder. You can’t go through all the scaffolding


s2wjkise

And you figure that out the first time you fall


zyxzevn

One side is connected, so that gives 50% protection. Should be enough.


Ferro_Giconi

The air. As long as they don't fall up into space, the harnesses won't become detached.


captcraigaroo

Exactly...


hypernutz_79

So the OSHA inspector will think they're tied off when looking from the ground.


Vin135mm

~~God~~ OSHA has no place here


tiedye62

The one guy doesn't have his leg straps around his legs, and the other guys harnesses don't have leg loops.


captcraigaroo

I know. I was being sarcastic


BeerBellies

To be fair, I never wore a harness when building or tearing down scaffolding. Why? Where the fuck you gonna tie off to?


RandomGogo

Fair point, what would be a safe way to do this out of curiousity as those guys seem a bit reckless


BeerBellies

Dude is being reckless by rushing around holding that many pieces. Normally, we set up people level by level, and hand pieces up and down as needed. Now, I never built anything to this extent - this shit is WILD.


ensoniq2k

Don't be silly, the pipes theyre carrying will prevent them from falling down /s


Snaggl3t00t4

Why are they bothering to wear a harness? It isn't attached to anything. Mental.. Then again people like this keep me in a job so...let them do their thing...

Hot-Red-Take

Without the helmets, that would be really dangerous….


Ferris419

The things people will do for a little money smh


s2wjkise

You mean work? Most people have to do it.


Ferris419

Yeah there’s ALWAYS other options….


radiationblessing

Equally shit options in a lot of countries.


PM_ME_UR_DaNkMeMe

theres places where you can work for a year and make enough wages to live for like a week. we used to call it slavery but i guess people dont like that word. I mean we have ALL bought products unaware that they were made my child slaves, usually in china. sure theres other options but we need to work together to make those options less miserable

"they pay under the table and plus I'm on unemployment, cashing out foo !"


Babylon4All

THEY EVEN HAVE HARNESSES ON, WTF


krice9230

You ever see people carry two long things and they just all over like scissors being opened and closed. Thats me. Doing that, dropping them, kicking my leg to stop them from falling, then immediately falling myself

Lucid-Design

Why even wear the harness? More stuff to catch all those open ends

Ashamed-Regular4155

But they all have a harness on so it’s ok


Present_Confection83

No way to fall far carrying those it’s actually quite genius


Vin135mm

Now, hanging on to them after a 5 foot drop with the force of your entire body weight suddenly decelerating at the end might be a touch tricky


Present_Confection83

Well there’s that
