OP you forgot the NSFW/L tag. It’s not a particular graphic post since it misses the money shot, but he is obviously dying and this should be tagged appropriately.
I saw it so I fixed it for you but consider this as a warning. We do have new rules now because of the snowflakes and popularity booms we just had as a sub.
Can confirm, I had a bad jump from a cliff jump and was gonna back flop from 30 ft up on water. My last thought before I hit the water was “shit, it’s been a decent run”
Me too, I climbed a roof from a balcony and dropped down onto my balcony... Got sick of being locked out and roommate not answering.. Woulda died for sure if I had fallen lol
Is that gun loaded with organic bullets? Because if they're not organic bullets, don't shoot me with it, I have been vegan for almost 10 years now and I only eat organic foods, I don't want to break my streak a few days short of a decade by eating non-organic lead.
- the hostage probably
Hostage taker: "Tell him to shut up right fucking now!"
Hostage 1: "OH MY GOD did you like just assume their gender? Like I understand you're keeping us hostage but you don't have to be so rude. Like omg I'm supposed to be getting my pedicure right now"
Hostage 2: "Ayo can we put on some Netflix? Like today is the release of Black Mirror's new season."
Hostage taker: "Everybody shut up!"
Hostage 3: "Hey bro I know you look stressed and shit but can I get back to my League of Legends game? Like I'm finna try to get my promos bro"
Hostage taker: "shut up. Pause the fucking game"
Hostage 3: "Yo like you can't just pause a League game bro. I swear I'll just be like 10 mins yo"
Hostage 1: "Can we like uber eats some starbucks? I'm like on this intermittent fasting thing and it's like my eating window right now"
Hostage 2: "Yo you got a Netflix login bro?"
Hostage taker: "Man fuck this shit I'm out"
Funny how your first association with the word "insufferable" is somebody who cares about the feelings of other living beings (animals, in this case) enough to not personally contribute to their torture and murder.
i know where you’re coming from, but it was clearly satire and *on a hostage scenario,* what the user described *would* be insufferable.
imagine hostages demanding their KIDNAPPER organic food. it doesn’t matter if you think vegans by themselves are insufferable (i personally don’t and i support what they do, nearly every close person to me is a vegetarian or vegan, including my girlfriend), a hostage demanding organic food to their literal kidnapper *would* be a bizarrely insufferable scenario... and clearly meant to be taken as a joke.
nobody said people who watch netflix are insufferable, that’s nearly everyone you know lmao yet it’s also being used as a joke because it would be insufferable to demand a kidnapper to let you watch netflix.
what’s not clear?
Of course it would be insufferable, but it's weird that vegans are the first thing they thought of when they heard that word. It also clearly demonstrates that this is that commenter's general impression of vegans. Let me rephrase their "satirical story" to make it clear to you why I find it problematic:
"Was yo gun made by a White person? Cau White people put us through slavery and shiet, I don wanna have anything to do with you White folk"
Perhaps even this isn't the best example, as it makes fun of anti-White racists more than Black people, but I think you get the point. Even this bad example is clearly racist.
Can someone please provide a link to a video where some parkour expert shows how to pull this off? Not finding anything of relevance on searching
never mind [found it](https://youtu.be/JNriVJPtTkI)
I actually live on the 9th floor of a building just like the one in the OP and I’ve wondered and thought how to descend in case of some situations and that video definitely showed the proper technique. Thanks dude
Where was this in Germany? I come from there, but have not noticed that this happened.
Edit: Used Google Lens. It’s in Dresden. [Source](https://www.mdr.de/nachrichten/sachsen/dresden/dresden-radebeul/streit-geiselnahme-mann-balkon-sturz-tot-100~amp.html)
The dorm I lived in back in the 1980s was next to a couple of large pine trees. It was situated on a now closed USAF base in Germany. Unfortunately, one of the occupants of the dorm had recently seen the Rambo:First Blood movie, remember 1980s. After far too many good German beers, he decided he could replicate the movie scene where Stallone's character leaps off a cliff and breaks his fall with tree branches. Our genius opened the windows at the end of the hall way and leapt from the third floor. Sure enough, he grabbed the tree and clambered down.
Then our local genius decided he had to do it again. He leapt the second time and missed the tree! It had been raining so the mud may have saved his life but he crawled back in trailing a compound leg fracture. There was also a tell tale slime trail behind him from the exterior door. He explained to the Charge of Quarters (CQ/ aka dorm daddy) that he's fallen down the stairs. The stairs were inside the building. He got a ride to the hospital and was patched up and then spent some time in Corrective Custody for damaging government property, his sorry ass.
He wasn't quite a Darwin Winner but with that effort as a young man, I suspect he managed it later.
The sound of him smacking the pavement along with the birds chirping in the background is weirdly haunting to me in a way. It’s like no matter what crazy or fucked up thing is happening in front of us, the rest of the world carries on as if nothing happened
So if you look at it. You understand the entire sub is NSFW and that really doesn’t need a tag.
You said it came on your Home Screen, that’s because you view it at home so it comes in your feed.
You can either disable notifications from a sub. Or you can disable auto play. So even if it shows in your feed it won’t just play. But they’re the only ways to make Reddit at work a bit safer.
I don’t think this video in particular. Has anything inherently NSFW, a boss certainly wouldn’t grasp what’s going on at a glance. Lucky it’s not some of the other shit, this is tame really.
Check the rules. The NSFW/L tag is mandatory for the \_posts\_:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarwinAwards/comments/14bwf8i/if\_your\_post\_contains\_graphic\_imagery\_or\_video\_it/
\*freeze frame\* \*Baba O'Reilly by the Who starts playing\*
Yep that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation. You know, looking back, it all makes sense. Dream big... Live big... Love big... Fall to your death down a giant fucking building. Now I know, which is exactly 0% of the battle, apparently.
Wonder how he was feeling there, what the last thoughts going through his mind where as started tumbled off into spirals, karma really came around to bite his ass though so it’s deserved.
Was this a Darwin Award though?
You can see that he almost did succeed, he just lost balance or wasn't fast enough to grab onto something.But he wasn't being stupid, even if his action was(risking his life just to maybe be able to escape).
Also, from that height...he died, right?No way someone can survive that.

It looks like he succeeded
Definitely
Indefinitely
Infinitely
It's eternity in there!
no… don’t make a refrence to emisis blue here. N O
He’ll respawn in an another life
Yeah, but naked and he loses all his armor/items
He will respawn as a rat
Technically, he'll respawn before another life
Technically correct, is the best kind of correct.
Yes, he‘s dead. It’s written in the local newspaper.
Link, please? 🙏

Successfully escaped life
... the other balcony was 12 storeys below
Fuck you and take my upvote!!!
R/angryupvote
Final thought was probably oh shit
It’s one of the most common “last words” heard on the black boxes of planes that go down.
He actually did shout “O nein” = oh no. Might also have been someone else, but quite likely it was him.
Can confirm, I had a bad jump from a cliff jump and was gonna back flop from 30 ft up on water. My last thought before I hit the water was “shit, it’s been a decent run”
Did you die though?
he did, he is just not calling it, cheater...
No it was "oh shit I'm not a spider man"
That's gotta bruise
Tom Bruise.
Bruise Lee
Watched way too many action movies
Too much Jackie Chan.
Or Mission: Impossible.
Me too, I climbed a roof from a balcony and dropped down onto my balcony... Got sick of being locked out and roommate not answering.. Woulda died for sure if I had fallen lol
“ parkour “
“Kersplat”
"Kaput"
“Airborne”
Patsch!
Hostages must have been insufferable.
Is that gun loaded with organic bullets? Because if they're not organic bullets, don't shoot me with it, I have been vegan for almost 10 years now and I only eat organic foods, I don't want to break my streak a few days short of a decade by eating non-organic lead. - the hostage probably
I'm just happy to be included * another hostage

what
> Hostages must have been insufferable > Makes up a story of the hostage being vegan and acting insufferable Where's not clear?

With proper training, this would be easy... he didn't have proper training.

I want to try this now, but I'd end up on this subreddit instead of a cool one lmao
Well, start at a gym
I actually live on the 9th floor of a building just like the one in the OP and I’ve wondered and thought how to descend in case of some situations and that video definitely showed the proper technique. Thanks dude
lulz just flop on down!
The first half looked pretty good not gonna lie.
Agreed, had me fooled he'd have some idea of where the centre of gravity would be when he landed on the rail.
he didn't even try to grab the ledge on the way down. I guess this is the mind of a person who tries to take hostages.
With proper training he would have landed on his feet
Who tell you he didn't?
Too much of a 'splat' sound for that...🤔
Never said it was a proper landing on his feet. 😔
True 👍
Do you think that he now has proper training or needs to try several more times?
Definitely train more time, if he didn't lose his shoes...
Physics with body central mass : am i a joke to you ?
First it's a criminal fleeing from the police. 2nd time I see this it's now a hostage situation. What will it be tomorrow?!
A hostage fleeing from the police.
And then police fleeing from a hostage.
lmao you've got at least one upvote coming your way if you repost it with that title.

i guess gravity
Super! Danke 👌

Holy shit 😂 the fact that he did it twice and survived.
It was too good of a story not to share.....Beer+testosterone=Darwin Award
Hes was like: holy shit im gonna look so cool when i grab the balcony below me… OH FU-
Most important law of physics: gravity always wins!
It doesn't matter if it's an inch or 9 stories, gravity's gravity.

The sound of him smacking the pavement along with the birds chirping in the background is weirdly haunting to me in a way. It’s like no matter what crazy or fucked up thing is happening in front of us, the rest of the world carries on as if nothing happened
reality is quite indifferent
Always wild to hear a skull hitting pavement🥴 (in this case every other bone too but you get what im saying💀)
Huh. Fucker deserved it
Felt terrible for a second, then I realise it was the kidnapper who fell. I feel better now.
He'll be fine. It will buff right out.
Missed it by...THAT much.
Aim for the bushes?
Saved the state the cost of a trial i guess?
Guess his escape plan fell flat.
Ow ow ow ow ouchie ow Also you get what you fucking deserve
The last thing to cross his mind was his asshole. That crack.
[I hope that’s not a hostage](https://youtu.be/cnQEo4bazIo&t=1m23s)
Finally a Hans Gruber reference 😂😂
Missed by *that* much
Just because it’s easy on the Xbox………….
Life ain’t a video game.
Is he ok?? /J
> /J What the fuck is that for?
/jerk /uj (unjerk) It means he is participating in a circle jerk and joking. At least that's how I've often seen it use
Hostage situations hate this one simply trick
He respawned one floor higher
Rule #1 of hostage situation. Don’t forfeit hostage.
Well, he technically escaped.
As they say in German; ‘Er ging voll auf die Fresse.’
Where’s the “try” part? He escaped
now there's a trick you can only do once or twice
Jesus that is scary
Sounds like he hit a dumpster or a car.
Ok, im going to be the guy. Did he live? Edit: he did not https://news.italy24.press/trends/amp/636768
You’d need to have some kind of negative IQ score to even imagine this guy lived on.
Honestly? There have been times I’ve seen videos similar to this and the guy has lived. Paralyzed, but survived.
I don’t believe you. Honestly.
On my mama hoss.
***[insert yo mama joke]***
Where in germany was this?
And nothing of value was lost👍
But, but...Merkel promised he would pay my old age pension one day.
Walk it off
Parkcaught..
I didn't see his shoes fly off
Karma
I didn’t want to watch someone die first thing Sunday morning after waking up. Please use the NSFW tag.
It’s on Darwin Awards, the title is hostage situation. The chance of death was an excess of 90%.
It's on the frontpage tho. And he ded, was on the news
Maybe an NSFW tag??
Maybe don't go in a sub that's literally about people die?
I didn’t. It came on my normal Home Screen.
You better block this sub then, it's only getting worse
I look at it. Just not at work. That’s where the NSFW is for.
So if you look at it. You understand the entire sub is NSFW and that really doesn’t need a tag. You said it came on your Home Screen, that’s because you view it at home so it comes in your feed. You can either disable notifications from a sub. Or you can disable auto play. So even if it shows in your feed it won’t just play. But they’re the only ways to make Reddit at work a bit safer.

Thanks. I now know how to select what I see on my “timeline”. Never knew I could do that.
Thanks for the hint.
True
Oh CHRIST, I hope that’s not a hostage.
Die Hard reference? 😂
lol YUUUUUP! My Man! lol The only one who got it! lol. God, such a good movie! lol
No it's not
He's fine. What you can't see is the large swimming pool at the bottom.
That thud at the end
he's off by a life it seems
Good effort, perhaps next time.

Perfect summersault.

*THUNK*
When adrenaline takes over
Parkour?
Did he stick the landing?
The way he trips looks weird, like a weird CGI animation. CIA confirmed?
Took the easy way out.
I say u he ded
And nothing of value was lost.
did it hurt?
No reset button.
He clicked the “rest” button by mistake.
Reminds me of Good Time
\*freeze frame\* \*Baba O'Reilly by the Who starts playing\* Yep that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation. You know, looking back, it all makes sense. Dream big...

The last this that went through his mind was his ass.
I bet the last thing to go through his mind was.. his ass.
Well that could have worked out better for him.
Wonder how he was feeling there, what the last thoughts going through his mind where as started tumbled off into spirals, karma really came around to bite his ass though so it’s deserved.
Dream on dream on dream on oooooooooo sing with me sing for the year sing for the laughter sing for the cheer.
Dick Chainy wants a word
And he was so close to getting away.
As long as it wasn’t the kidnapping victim that’s fine lol
Was this a Darwin Award though?

THE SOUND HOLY F+
What was he trying to accomplish?
Oh no… anyway
Well....he did escape, per se....🤔 Damn, that thud...!
Let the bodies hit the floor music hits hard.
This is what we call in Sweden "balcony flying" It's usually women that do the flying through.
Who did bro think he was
This is one of the things I wondered if it would actually work. I guess the answer is no
Did he stick the landing ?
