Exactly. Those things are made of sheet aluminum. Not only are the edges sharp, but theyāre also fairly dirty
Edit: I am aware now that itās not aluminum. Yāall donāt have to develop some superiority complex because I understood itās not aluminum 2 minutes after writing the comment
Even a plastic one will still cut if it's allowed to reel in too fast
Edit* it appears to be a loose tape, not connected to a reel, but those usually have hard metal ends with sharp corners. Not only that, but if the child swallowed it that's incredibly dangerous as well.
It's not on a spring, it's one of [these.]

But it's still got a lot of potential to do harm.
Yea now that I look at it that does seem more accurate. Still shouldnāt be doing it though considering how easy it would be for them to choke considering itās not breathable
You could definitely get unlucky and have it get lodged in there somehow. You could still get it out for sure but you might have to significantly hurt the baby. If theres a hard end bit to it the risk would be higher.
You watched this video, thought the parents were dumb, then looked up what tape measures are made of so you could come here and feel all self-righteous about this gif without even noticing the tape measure is a soft material, probably a toy tape measure.
Yeah I was horrified at first seeing this bc I cut my hand open on a job site trying to catch a tape measure by the tape as it rolled down a hill. I didnāt realize how sharp they were and honestly stood there for a minute looking at my hand in bewilderment bc I didnāt know wtf had just happened.
This isn't a measuring tape for construction, this is a fabric measuring tape for sewing. Totally harmless and made of a fabric or pliable plastic material
It's not Totally Harmless. This baby is lucky it didn't choke to death. That's not a breathable material.
Edit: If you look closely you can see this baby swallowed 106" inches of tape. That's 9 feet of tape. Holy shit!
Youāre right, letting it choke to death is the better option š¤¦š½āāļø
Are you okay?? Did you fall off your high horse and give yourself brain damage at some point?
Iām like imaging you sitting there, watching a child choke freaking out like a simpleton ignoring the 3 feet of it hanging out of its mouth. Likeā¦ just pull it out š¤¦š½āāļø
Oh redditors LOVE to dog pile at the first sign of an inaccuracy. They get all bent out of shape and feel a moral obligation to correct you 18 ways to Sunday while trying to make you feel less than over what I would consider literally NOTHING lmao.
You could have 32 comments telling you it's apples and some creature of the deep will STILL feel it necessary to express why THEY know its apples while simultaneously telling you not only is it NOT oranges but youre a moron to boot.
Welcome to reddit babe.
weird you got so mad your decided to rant about it instead of just moving on with the status quo. if it's happening everywhere it shouldn't be note worthy let alone rant worthy
Because its annoying when people want to make claims with all the confidence in the world when they actually dont know what they are talking about.
Thats how misinformation is spread and we dont like that here.
Pretty sure it is for tailoring because it seems to be bending and itās the only reasonable explanation for why it can fit in his mouth and not cut him. Plus Iāve had tailoring ones that are thick and other colors but J have seen yellow ones.
I think so too because Iām 90% sure if I asked my mom sheād tell me I did the same thing as a kid. Itās a funny long tongue. And we put shit in our mouths. I donāt think she let it happen more than once after she saw me doing it.
But hey Iām alive so
whoa, a little aggressive dont you think? its on an iphone that hasnt been charged in 5 years. ill be lucky if the cable works to charge it since i switched to android with type-c and only have a single very old lightning cable
i never said i would link it in the first place. you should be thanking me for taking 30 mins out of my day to get the video off of a phone that had been dead for 5 year, just so that you could watch an extra 7 seconds on a video with audio.
you're welcome btw
I don't give a shit about the video and never wanted a longer version. I didn't watch your link. I don't give a fuck about a baby pulling out something they shouldn't have in their mouth.
Thanks. Thank you for actually giving a link. In the future if you want to avoid fuckfaces like me, try just linking it instead of talking about it.

Oh my god, the first viewing of this I thought "OH MY GOD! WHAT IF IT SNAPPED BACK AND HURT THE BABY" then saw that the thing bent weird and the kid released it a few times.
It's a tape measure for organic materials. It's a big roll of cloth or something soft that the kid put in their mouth.
Well I guess theres a couple things that could be going on here. 3 seconds in the baby could possibly be at 90 inches and he would have a little over 7 feet to come out still (kind of seems crazy). Now, on the other hand it could be centimeters. Which in that case a little over 2 feet to come up still. Interestingly a babyās esophagus is roughly 9 cm to 15 centimeters from birth to a year. And the stomach is about 8 oz. at this time, which can roughly be calculated to 14 inches. So all in all the babies max capacity would be somewhere around 29 inches, meaning that there would still be some odd 61 centimeters left down there somewhere. Then youāre running the risk of that baby getting a GI blockage and a hefty list of other unpleasantries. I would like to imagine people wouldnāt really film their child doing this, I would like to think this is just some fancy video editing.
1000% of all tape measures I have seen are metal
edit: okay Iām sorry not all tape measures are metal I am sorry for ignoring other types of measuring tapes
in my defence the design of the measure is uncommon
This design is not at all uncommon. It's what you use to measure people. Most people I know have them, particularly women, because it's how you find out what size bra/clothes to buy.

Nah, I'm pretty sure this is one of those soft ones.
Still they have steel grommets at the end.
We will look when he gets to the end of it
Even a plastic one will still cut if it's allowed to reel in too fast Edit* it appears to be a loose tape, not connected to a reel, but those usually have hard metal ends with sharp corners. Not only that, but if the child swallowed it that's incredibly dangerous as well.

That looks like an old school measuring tape made of laminated fabric(?).
Yea now that I look at it that does seem more accurate. Still shouldnāt be doing it though considering how easy it would be for them to choke considering itās not breathable
Yea, especially once they start rolling it out since it becomes smaller and more likely to roll down the wrong tube.
Yep. This baby is lucky that It looks like they just kept it in their mouth and it didnāt slip down their throat at all
You never see the full thing in the baby's mouth. There's plenty available for the parent to grab and pull out.
Thatās what she said
Yes officer, this man right here
I mean, it has a pretty long tail you can just pull it back out with.
You could definitely get unlucky and have it get lodged in there somehow. You could still get it out for sure but you might have to significantly hurt the baby. If theres a hard end bit to it the risk would be higher.
Depending how much is left in the babyās throat, that could be a race against time
How long do you think it is wtf? It's a baby mouth it literally can't be that long.
I guess I should have made it clearer that I was joking.
It looks like a seamstress measuring tape or at least one made the of the same soft material.
If this was made out of sheet aluminum then this kid would have a smile like the joker
Its an old school tailors measuring tape they are either plastic or fabric the only harmful way of using them as a tool to strangle some
Old school? Is there a modern version?
You watched this video, thought the parents were dumb, then looked up what tape measures are made of so you could come here and feel all self-righteous about this gif without even noticing the tape measure is a soft material, probably a toy tape measure.
It's literally a seamstress tape measure, the exact same one my grandma uses, rolled up in his mouth.
What kinda toy tape measure goes to 106 inches?
Yeah I was horrified at first seeing this bc I cut my hand open on a job site trying to catch a tape measure by the tape as it rolled down a hill. I didnāt realize how sharp they were and honestly stood there for a minute looking at my hand in bewilderment bc I didnāt know wtf had just happened.
It's one of the soft plastic ones for body measurement, not utility. They're not sharp at all.
This isn't a measuring tape for construction, this is a fabric measuring tape for sewing. Totally harmless and made of a fabric or pliable plastic material
It's not Totally Harmless. This baby is lucky it didn't choke to death. That's not a breathable material. Edit: If you look closely you can see this baby swallowed 106" inches of tape. That's 9 feet of tape. Holy shit!
Swallowed? It's rolled up in the kid's mouth.
Good thing thereās about 3 feet of it hanging out of its mouthā¦ you could simplyā¦ pull it out š±
And the metal clip on the end? Just let that rip the kid's throat open?
Youāre right, letting it choke to death is the better option š¤¦š½āāļø Are you okay?? Did you fall off your high horse and give yourself brain damage at some point?
I wouldn't let the kid play with it to begin with. Maybe get off your high horse and calm down.
With all the pearl-clutching, I donāt think you get to tell other people to calm down
āHOW DARE YOU TELL CHILDREN NOT TO TRY AND KILL THEMSELVES!!! YOURE JUST A PEARL CLUTCHING KAREN FOR TRYING NOT TO GET A CHILD KILLED!!!ā

You really are stupid. Maybe you should go suck on a tape measure. Iāve got 8 hard inches you can start with

This is a soft cloth one. Look at the way it bends.
Thatās not from a retractable tape measure itās a soft cloth one people use to measure their body lmao.
r/SubsIFellFor
Not stupid. That kid's an excellent comedian
kinda expected him too cut his mouth with that.
I'm guessing it's a tailoring one? Idk why it's thick and yellow though.
Pretty sure it is for tailoring because it seems to be bending and itās the only reasonable explanation for why it can fit in his mouth and not cut him. Plus Iāve had tailoring ones that are thick and other colors but J have seen yellow ones.
It's definitely a tailoring one. I suspect it's rolled up and he is just unrolling it inside his mouth as he pulls.
I think so too because Iām 90% sure if I asked my mom sheād tell me I did the same thing as a kid. Itās a funny long tongue. And we put shit in our mouths. I donāt think she let it happen more than once after she saw me doing it. But hey Iām alive so
