#2 lucky there were no electric vehicles involved because I heard that they are really dangerous in fires. Not like gasoline powered which are perfectly OK. No danger at all.

#4 - how weak are his legs that he couldn't climb that short distance without collapsing? I've got a fragged hip & knee from a car crash and I coulda made that without needing a break.

#3 Fuckin' career-ender.
shagsright
I can't watch videos of people getting hurt. It makes me nauseous. The funny thing is I'm a nurse practitioner and I work in an Urgent Care. I suture people, reduce fractures, cut into abscesses with scalpels, remove skin tags and moles with injecting lidocaine and just cutting them off with scissors and it doesn't bother me at all. But I watch this stuff and no...
Phinalize
#8 reminds me of that one map on Vigilante8, I miss the nostalgia of that game back then
HaveNotOf
#4 It's kind of disturbing how many people are just ready to assume this person is a bigot. Maybe they're working on themselves and taking the big steps as a quick workout. Maybe they are a bigot. We can't know from just that video. But just assuming based on this is absolutely brain-broken insanity. It really is no different than conservatives being crazy about their shit and overreacting.
Hextant
I'm pretty sure the caption is just a joke. But considering he seems like he's on death's door and just keeps going, whatever he's going through, he's determined, I'll give him that.
HaveNotOf
The caption, sure, but almost every other comment about that video is assuming the person is a bigot, one comment even hoped someone would spit in his face.
Hextant
That's just unfortunately how the internet is. No one means it, though. Not any more than they ACTUALLY mean it when they say they'll punch a nazi in the face. 9 times out of 10, they'd just look away and hope someone else does something about it. We all talk the trashiest shit on the internet, but we're all too fucking chicken shit to do anything anymore.

#5 reminds me of some drunken nights where I put a clove in my mouth backwards and lit the filter.
SeeJenJen
Mmm cloves, coffee and angst. I remember that taste.
ThisGostakIsHereForTheDoshes
That moment of horror when you taste that stinging smoke of burning filter... I remember.

I was scared she slammed her head on the bench and it bounced, but I THINK it was just plain gravity.

I replayed it a few times to check, she hit the table with her hand to help break her fall.

#8 what moron hooked the towline to the front axle and not the frame that is very clearly visible where a bumper would normally be?
netutoring
Those morons?

I mean, you're not wrong.
inkhonclusive
To be fair, if I were left to do this, and the first youtube video failed to warn me; I might have done that.

Those people also standing dangerously close to a towline under tension.

#6 If your ladder isn't tall enough for the job, don't try to be smart and do something stupid like that, buy a bigger ladder. I guarantee it's cheaper than what this dude had to pay.
jqubed
There’s a folded ladder visible just around the corner that when unfolded and extended should be more than adequate

that run motion with the arms moving the way they do unnaturally, definitely reminds me of some animated thing but I cannot for the life of me recall it

#2 Not the fure truck's fault; SUV ran into them instead of giving way.
Ryyyyyyyan
Not enough information. While you should give way, it's still the responsibility of the fire truck to make sure that people are giving way and that they know they should. Can't tell what it looked like from the SUV's point of view and if they could see the truck or if it was a blind intersection or something.
TheTwoHoles
They went through an intersection at speed tho. Didn't even slow at down to safely cross
HoneNathan
Thats what fire trucks're supposed to do when they have lights and sirens on.
AgainstMethod
They always slow down and look both ways at intersections. They're not supposed to just gamble on everyone hearing them around corners.
TheTwoHoles
They still have to safely transverse the intersection. They can't just blow through a red light and assume everyone sees them and will stop. The video is proof
SeeJenJen
They have a device that turns all their lights green. They don’t blow through red lights. That’s what they are saying is that the truck went through a red. “Opticom"; it's a system that uses infrared light emitted from the emergency vehicle to communicate with the traffic signal controller, effectively changing the light to green when the vehicle is nearing an intersection. “
Hextant
It's literally the law to give way, so yes, they can absolutely do this, lol.
TheTwoHoles
And I guess then they crash into a gas station
EndlingGer
#3 this rustles my ligaments.

Yeah I'ma just crawl back into bed, not move for about an hour and lie here contemplating how happy I am my ankles are still with me after just watching that.
Fuck me runnin that's some serious PT & ER time stackin up right there.
Zuanartha
This kills the ankles.
SeeJenJen
Got that “Girl Wears Shoes- Ankle Breaking” kink?

I jst beat a transformers game yesterday, so i liked
Mercurybird
The sound was the best part. But yeah, ouch.
CookieMonstersCrumbs
I had something similar happen in 2020, while running, in regular old running shoes, on asphalt. I thought I accidentally hit a pothole. Turns out the stuff that does the cris-cross applesauce over/under and behind your foot/ankle took a permanent vacation. Took 6 months learn how to walk again after 2 days of trying to be a big girl and walk it off.
MenloPart
On May First, 2018, I sprained my ankle trying to jog.
I don't have any idea what happened, one moment I was exercising, and the next I felt like I was hit by a baseball bat in the Achille's tendon, and fell on my face.
I didn't enjoy walking home... or much of anything for months.
That ankle is still weak.
I married a marathon runner, though, so I may try running again.
CookieMonstersCrumbs
Yeah it's not fun. I can walk and trail and bike, but it took years to be able to do any of that for any length of time, and it hurts for days after when it gets sore. Did a doc say what exactly happened to it? and good luck with your running, you got this!
ironymus
That sounds really, really painful!
CookieMonstersCrumbs
ironymus
Your foot is now fine again?
CookieMonstersCrumbs
I mean it's fine, but I never ran again, never surfed again. A couple of times a month, the tendons decide to become just a bit too tight and snap back into place after catching in the wrong position. But yeah, it's fine.
BeragondGreatstride
#4 I’d climb the big stairs too. Not because I oppose the gay stairs, but because it looks fun to try.
infernalspectre
Same. Assuming this is at a college, I would've done the big stairs at least a couple of times just for the fun of it. After that, I'd probably use the regular stairs for the ease of use. Nothing to do with my being an ally. Just being a dumb kid.
Boksha
It also looks WAY easier than the ordeal the guy in the clip seems to be going through.
Hextant
May have asthma or something. I have it, to the point I am severely out of shape because I can't do even basic exercises. Going up my stairs at home feels much like what he looks like he's going through, lol.
HEARTS0FSPACE
Pretty sure it's staged. They're likely exaggerating to humiliate the bigots even more. Always ask yourself: Who is filming this and why?
Hextant
I'd make someone film me doing it just because it's funny. Probably isn't as performative as people are thinking. But anyway, my asthma is dying just thinking about it, I must go.
dronir
#7 might have fractured their tailbone or some spinal vertebrae.
BeardedWonder82
I felt that in my back and I didn’t like it
Pats0r
He might not have broken anything.
I miss the time that comments were better than the shared content.
JohnSmithterms
Yup, I've done that on ice without all that additional air. It's incredibly painful for weeks. I hope they are ok.
tex65
Same here, still can't sit for long
MeshHatMafia
I broke my back literally the exact same way. Kinda nice to now have an example vid for when people ask. Technically it was a compression fracture. Several of the lumber vertebrae between L1 and L5. I didn’t speed check and overshot the landing by about 20 feet…not to brag but I think the jump I got was a bit higher. I’m lucky to still be walking
Twinklepot
I can verify that that is very painful. I nearly vomited with the pain.
pandemicpolemic
Yea, I feel bad and sometimes audibly wince at ski/snowboard accidents like that. I broke my knee skiing (nothing crazy, skiing run within my ability, shit happens) and it suckssss. Will never be 100% or the other knee which had to compensate and also got screwed up as a result. AWESOME sports, tough injuries tho.
JacktheKind
Seems like it. But he could've been lucky. The snow was that hard compacted yet and was compressed by his butt, as evidences by the butt print.
textilelover
That one was not any sort of schadenfreude. He's just a guy doing what he's supposed to be doing in the place he's supposed to be doing it in and not sticking a landing. I feel bad for him.
canadianreserve
It's a rough sport. I am sure he is not surprised this happened.
textilelover
Sure, but I don't want to revel in his misfortune. That's what schadenfreude is. Just cause injury is likely to happen doesn't make it funny to me.
canadianreserve
Ya I find it funny until you hear the thump on his tail bone.
nothingunused
#10 might have some fractured vertebrae as well.
SorryButMyUsernameIsUnavailable
krstd
I almost broke mine in the exact same stupid situation. Threw up from the pain, nauseous and was down for probably 1.5h before I could continue.. Lessons learned that day.
Mohareb
Yeah that's a hard hit. At least it doesn't look ice-hard. Gives a little so with some luck he might not have been injured too badly
NarratesTheDarkerStory
Jarring, probably not serious injury. If he's young enough he's fine. If he's older, he'll be fine today, and he'll feel it like crazy in the next couple of days
dronir
I knew a person who landed on their butt like that and fractured vertebrae in their early 20s. Though they possibly fell on harder ground, but not much faster, it was a hard parachute landing.
NarratesTheDarkerStory
I'm assuming, but more so hoping, that the crater made by his butt helped alleviate some of the impact pressure. And yeah I'm basing this off nothing but my memory of falling on snow. Only time I've ever got air like that was by accident, but also on fresh powder. So it was a lot of fun. Nothing like this.
DAUKAR
I fell in that position from 24 ft, compressed 4 vertebra and broke my back, I was in my 30's. There was maybe 4-5 inches of snow on the ground, didn't cushion the fall though. I'm a carpenter so I get the occasional sore back but for the most part I manage.
sprayfartmaster
The ol mid-air backstroke. Hopefully the person had youth, cartilage, and flexibility on their side.
HypnagogicHallucinations
At least his non-spinal vertebrae are probably fine.
makeamericasmartagain9000
I see what you did here
tallroses
There are cervical and sacral vertebrae too
Sternfeuer
Never heard of spinal vertebrae. There are cervical (neck), thoracic (chest), lumbar (lower back), sacral (in humans usually fused into a single bone) and the coccygeal vertebrae (coccyx = tailbone).
dronir
My original use of "spinal vertebrae" is a sort of mistranslation since English is not my native language.
NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior
Yup. I've done that from standing height and couldn't run for a week, poor guys gonna be hurting lol
Arrrrgggggghhhh
MechKelly
Gonna be sore in the morning.
FluentPenguin
Or to give it the full medical title: ouchy butt
Seventytonsofmettle
My money is on compression fracture in the thoracic or upper lumbar.
ontarioOT
I have a similar ladder (the one leaning against the side of the house nor being used), and it would be tall enough to reach the gutters.
fitgirl1
That other ladder just chilling there makes this video that bit extra special.

#8 there's gotta be an easier way to fill water tankers.
ItWasAlreadyLikeThatWhenIgotHere
We lost four more men on this expedition
DerpeDimmer
You can lead a tanker to water, but you can't make it drink.
DumpsterSauce
Gotta be an easier way to tow them out too. Perhaps they could design a couple of hooks that bolt directly to the frame. Maybe near the front.. perhaps they could put a couple holes in the bumper so they would be recessed and not catch on stuff...
jesuisgur
Never stand near a cable being pulled like that. I once almost got cut in half when it broke and whipped so fast all I hear was 'snap'...

I do this in Farming Simulator

This is the only way.
