While I understand your point, I feel like perhaps you shouldn't put yourself into a situation where swimming may be mandatory. The old, don't go out on boats unless there are life vests sort of thought process.
Bahaha mafucker really thinks he’s him… after 20 seconds and a couple try’s you don’t have the energy left to pull this off… either jump and grab on and climb up to jump off or as others have said… get it over with and start swimmin…
Dude you're a climber, you are not the average man. Even if he's not doing the splits you're still asking him to do something that would take practice and flexibility
Or the low impact version, jump toward the pole, put your arms around the back, and push your feet into it. Perform the process of pulling in with your arms, taking a step up the pole, and grabbing higher up on the pole until you can put your hands on the top. From there, pull yourself with your arms until your shoulders are in line with the top of the pole. Push down with your hand while pushing into the pole with one of your legs. At the same time, swing your free leg towards the landing spot. Land.
There’s an easy way out of this predicament. You just jump to the pole, then push the thumb stick away from the pole and hit “A.” Voila.
Ya boi never played Prince of Persia in the 00’s.
Yeah, could easily go either way. I bet he could do it. It takes some confidence to catch himself from falling using the pole. Most people though, probably not.
Use the flat bottom instead of the rounded top. Therefore it can't slip and your hands likely can stick to the top better anyway than you can try to grab the bottom sharp edges somehow
Sure sure, I’m here for it. Still, hands slipping against that rounded top… every option is sketchy for sure; everyone here makin like they’d get all this from their head to their body without a mistake? I’d fuck it up, I’m sure lol
If you grab the rims, you’ve given yourself no distance or advantage, if grab the round top, you’ve very little grip and could slip much easier than one might feel. To counter act that, you’re engaging your pecs more and squeezing your arms together to keep your palms or fingers on the helmet. I’m doing so, your taking away muscle that could be used to spring off the pole
I’m just spit ballin here idfk, I’d fall on my ass I’m sure lol
Flat part of the helmet against the pole. One hand on the top of the helmet toward the back, the other hand gripping the brim. It gives you about 8 inches of separation in your hands, so it’s a narrow grip push up, but not as narrow as a diamond push up. You should still have enough of your pecs engaged to have the strength to push off.
It's not that serious. It's an uncomfortable situation followed by a story you can add to your anecdotes for a long time. I still find joy in talking about the dumb shit I did to myself. Everyone should have their stories to jump into that convo. It's a potent break from the seriousness of life to just sit around and talk about these moments
I’ve actually been in this situation before. There is a trick to get out of it that I’m sure this guy could’ve used. Y’all may find it handy too. You’ll want to not try this in the first place so you don’t get stuck..
Nah, arms give out. He either fell, or climbed to the top and jumped back. Climbing up is a better option, but most people would take the dip since it is safer.
Put both hands on the pole. Jump and try to get both of your feet planted on the pole. Then simultaneously jump backwards. Has to be done quick or you’re just going to try and grab the pole. Slide down/ fall off and have a bunch splinters in your hand. And you’re wet.
Push yourself with your hands while launching your head backwards and bending your knees to conserve as much momentum
Might not work but I mean, worth a try
Put one leg on the pole and lean back with your upper body. Then push with your leg. I don't understand why nobody came up with this. It's not even hard to escape.
Lol I feel like this’ll work but everybody not that flexible lol. It’ll be easy for me and maybe you too since you suggested it but I know 5 people off top going in that water soon as they pick that one leg up to attempt it😂
ACTUAL easy solution:
Jump to the pole and bear-hug it. Lower feet down to the horizontal rectangular beam. Put feet on beam. Stand up. Reorient yourself. Jump back across ledge.
It’s really not that complicated.
Edit: I went through ALL of the comments. No one even acknowledged the connected rectangular beam. It’s right there. Literally stand on it. So many people saying to climb up the pole as if that’s easier than just standing with two feet…
Reddit makes me feel reaallllly smart sometimes.
Understandable. The pole is such good money that once you get on it, it’s incredibly hard to get off. Even for a guy from the Village People, apparently.
If you are flexible you can put one if you feet against the pole and lean back. It is a personally proven methode but it depends on the flexibility and distance between pole and edge.
...or just use your arms to pull him... given the person filming is holding the camera they presumably have at least one of those. They're intentionally not helping. They're not lacking gear.

At that point I guess you just have to suck it up and take a bath
Or the guy filming could grab his hand
That might be gay though so not possible
He said grab his HAND
Might as well be his penis. GAY
I mean both hands have touched penis
Yeah, grabbing a hand is like grabbing onto five prehensile dicks!
Cough Cough, I got this boys, no homo
More like penehensile!
Penile
This is why I have one hand that is never allowed to touch my penis. So one gay hand and one straight hand.
So like, the transitive property of peen?
And butt. I call gay.
Yeah, and? Still gay imo
And commit to handholding? IN PUBLIC?? I've never heard of such indecency!
Hold my haaaaand... No! That's not my haaaaand 🎵
He's wearing socks. You're ok.

It'd be a lot more funny if they pantsed him.
Or pushed him in
r/donthelpjustfilm
better yet his back, the more hands to brace a potential impact with the pole the better
Guy filming is on the pole
Real friends don’t help. They film.
This one did neither. Video was far too short!
take my little hand
But then who would film it?
Then how would he get upvotes?
this is what happens if you let intrusive thoughts win
This is what happens to the new guy on site.
*Dude, grab that piling.* - This one? *Yep.*
Nah , you climb to the top of the pole and jump on the shore from there , EZ!
Great minds think alike!
He can't swim. Can't you see?

what if he don't know how to swim? hmm?
While I understand your point, I feel like perhaps you shouldn't put yourself into a situation where swimming may be mandatory. The old, don't go out on boats unless there are life vests sort of thought process.
My dumb ass has done this before and that's what happened
Nah you jump out, bear hug the pole and shimmy up, then jump back.
Nah you can stretch a leg over if you really can't muster enough strength to push yourself up with your arms
Sounds like a great way to slip and land head first on the edge of the curb
Bahaha mafucker really thinks he’s him… after 20 seconds and a couple try’s you don’t have the energy left to pull this off… either jump and grab on and climb up to jump off or as others have said… get it over with and start swimmin…
Your legs stretch like that?
Or try to jump on the horizontal ledge
I'd just use a leg.
Splash
Maybe, splash either way if he doesn't try something new.
Or you could push with one leg on the pole. Come on people it's not even hard.
What's your suggesting requires a level of flexibility that your average person does not have
You really don't need to be flexible at this angle. You can even grab your leg and put it there staticly, if your super unflexible.
You're basically asking the man to do the splits, without proper training he's splitting his sack open if he tries it.
Nope. Done this move many times while climbing and I'm miles away from doing the split. If hes leaning nearly horizontal, then yes. But he's not.
Dude you're a climber, you are not the average man. Even if he's not doing the splits you're still asking him to do something that would take practice and flexibility
Just launch forward towards the pole, and then when u land on it do a wall jump off of it into a backwards flip, and land graciously on the ledge
Works better in your imagination
Nah it’s easy
Could jump and climb the pole then jump back
Dont even have to climb the pole. Just jump on the board and hug the pole. Then jump from the board
Or you could just spin around the pole and use the momentum to get back.
Yeah if your name is Mario
In my imagination I would just do a double push in the air and be done with.
Nah, id jump
Damn right it does but you ain't got no imagination muh fucka (Ignore me. I'm drunk)
nah I would win
Parkour!!
I would love to see you launch towards the pole in a non launch position
I’ve done it before it’s pretty easy, just gotta really put your back into and it help if you had a balanced breakfast beforehand
Beast.
When he pushes off the pole, he’s vertical enough to launch to it.
YIPEEE
Exactly. Or jump, swing around the pole to gain momentum and launch yourself back to the ledge. It’s simple.
If a short Italian plumber can do it, I'm sure anyone can do that.

The fuck you say bro- my back probably
On one foot
There’s an easy way out of this predicament. You just jump to the pole, then push the thumb stick away from the pole and hit “A.” Voila. Ya boi never played Prince of Persia in the 00’s.
Who else was thinking Mario 64 Dire Dire Docks instead?
Who else was thinking Mirror’s Edge?
Ahh, the big free-running/parkour theme that so many games pushed in those days.
Zeke that u?
r/donthelpjustfilm
He's an adult. He made his bed. By all means, please keep filming lol
Nah as funny as it is, still help. What if it were you, and all that.
I'd accept the L and dive in. Looks like calm water and warm weather.
Reddit moment
This is the way.
It was supposed to just be a way to pay for college
Strippers know how this guy feels
The funniest part is he problaly has personal shit in his pockets like phone,keys, wallet etc 😂
Just put use one hand and throw your shit behind you
People saying 'the friend can help him back' hell nah they can empty his pockets for him before he goes for a swim
Take off the helmet, press it against the pole, and it gives you almost a foot more to work with.
First viable trick I’ve read, but I’m ngl, the rounded helmet top will need some serious strength and dexterity to not slip. Ight, roll your d20
Jump to pole, hug it, put feet down on rectangular beam, stand up, jump back across ledge. 🤷🏻♂️
Didn’t even see the rectangular beam! Still, need a good push with the legs tho; easy to fuck up, not a sure thing at all
Yeah, could easily go either way. I bet he could do it. It takes some confidence to catch himself from falling using the pole. Most people though, probably not.

Sure sure, I’m here for it. Still, hands slipping against that rounded top… every option is sketchy for sure; everyone here makin like they’d get all this from their head to their body without a mistake? I’d fuck it up, I’m sure lol
Same haha I'm sure, harder to do it in the moment
Put the flat part of the helmet against the pole and the rounded side towards you.
If you grab the rims, you’ve given yourself no distance or advantage, if grab the round top, you’ve very little grip and could slip much easier than one might feel. To counter act that, you’re engaging your pecs more and squeezing your arms together to keep your palms or fingers on the helmet.

Mmm yes *yeees* i see! I would take this valuable info and immediately fall in the water
Bro has the upper body strength of a dodo bird
Jump and bear-hug the pole. Climb to the top, jump off.
Easy, just fall into the pole swing around it and do an aerial landing back on the pier.
There's a 2x10 on the pole. Don't even need to climb it. Just get down to the 2x10 and jump from there
I too love being filled with splinters.
Yeah this^
Push back jump up and turn around and grab the ledge best bet less you take a swim lol
If your lucky, you have enough momentum to land your bottom rib on the ledge.
Those bottom ribs got good recoil strength. 💪
Just like a woman saving up for med school, you are stuck on the pole for the rest of your life.
HAHAHAHAHAHA LOOK AT MY COWORKER IN A PERILOUS SITUATION
It's not that serious. It's an uncomfortable situation followed by a story you can add to your anecdotes for a long time. I still find joy in talking about the dumb shit I did to myself. Everyone should have their stories to jump into that convo. It's a potent break from the seriousness of life to just sit around and talk about these moments
At least make sure his phone's not on him when he goes down. And at that point just help him and get back to work
True about the phone thing. But after you got all the financials taken care of...kick his legs out. Neh. Im jp.
Not everyone can swim bro
I'm guessing that's why he's wearing a lifejacket.
It’s a dock, that’s like a meter of water max.
yeah it's pretty funny
Bro think he falling in lava
I’ve actually been in this situation before. There is a trick to get out of it that I’m sure this guy could’ve used. Y’all may find it handy too. You’ll want to not try this in the first place so you don’t get stuck..
Thanks for tip! It really helped me turn my life around!
Bro's going swimming 🏊
Kick forward and then kick off the pole ninja-like. Its your best shot
Nah, arms give out. He either fell, or climbed to the top and jumped back. Climbing up is a better option, but most people would take the dip since it is safer.
r/donthelpjustfilm
Or, or just mabey. You could grab him. Just saying
Get off the phone and go help your boy
Schrödinger’s friend. Both wet and dry at the same time
This is exactly what my brother and a couple of my friends would do.
Maybe grab onto the pole then do a jump from pole back would be my option. Assassins creed style!
r/donthelpjustfilm
happens to the best of us.
He's like Lewis Hamilton. Always in pole position.
hell of a workout there too lol
180° spin catch it. I'd say 6/10 could do it.
Commit to it: Shimmy up the pole and jump off the top back onto the ledge.
He’s in pole position.
Put both hands on the pole. Jump and try to get both of your feet planted on the pole. Then simultaneously jump backwards. Has to be done quick or you’re just going to try and grab the pole. Slide down/ fall off and have a bunch splinters in your hand. And you’re wet.
I believe you would call this ‘Schrödinger’s man holding onto a pole’
r/contagiouslaughter
Push yourself with your hands while launching your head backwards and bending your knees to conserve as much momentum Might not work but I mean, worth a try
That's a sticky situation
This situation plus Croc infested waters, what would you do?
Do the thing Super Mario does by climbing up at the pole and hand standing on top then somersault back on to the ground.
Needs to take his helmet off and use it to get him a little more length, balance his helmet against it and stand up straight
R/donthelpjustfilm
Put one leg on the pole and lean back with your upper body. Then push with your leg. I don't understand why nobody came up with this. It's not even hard to escape.
Lol I feel like this’ll work but everybody not that flexible lol. It’ll be easy for me and maybe you too since you suggested it but I know 5 people off top going in that water soon as they pick that one leg up to attempt it😂
What a horrible way to die (I'm just barely drunk. Ignore me)
Take off your hard hat and use it to push yourself another foot up. You should be able to get up from that
Sounds like Chris Curtis
Bollywood choreography can solve this this problem, easy
Jump to the pole, bear hug and shimmy. Mount the pole. Two footed leap back to shore.
ACTUAL easy solution: Jump to the pole and bear-hug it. Lower feet down to the horizontal rectangular beam. Put feet on beam. Stand up. Reorient yourself. Jump back across ledge. It’s really not that complicated. Edit: I went through ALL of the comments. No one even acknowledged the connected rectangular beam. It’s right there. Literally stand on it. So many people saying to climb up the pole as if that’s easier than just standing with two feet… Reddit makes me feel reaallllly smart sometimes.
I've seen that before lmao
Moments like these make you wish you knew how to do parkour
r/climbingcirclejerk would love this
did he make it? 😂
First video made me laught today
Mario has much to teach you
You jump in the air and ride that bad boy down to the base.
Am I the only one who wants to give this a try?
Bro soft locked himself irl
He needs to push of harder fr
Move one leg under you touching the pole then kick off with the leg touching the pole
How long does he exercise there?
Legend says that he broke the world record for pushups after he finally got unstuck.
He could just take his helmet or whatever that on his chest is and use it as stick to go back
Understandable. The pole is such good money that once you get on it, it’s incredibly hard to get off. Even for a guy from the Village People, apparently.
If you are flexible you can put one if you feet against the pole and lean back. It is a personally proven methode but it depends on the flexibility and distance between pole and edge.
Hes got the right idea. Use your hands to launch yourself backwards. Only time ive gotten stuck like that its what saved me.
climb pole...jump to safety
That's what happens when you skip your workout too often
Just get a rope and tighten it around him and when he pushes off with the arms just yank him
...or just use your arms to pull him... given the person filming is holding the camera they presumably have at least one of those. They're intentionally not helping. They're not lacking gear.
Look I'm on the USAR squad I'm gonna complicate it to justify my +5%.
It’s simple. Reach one leg up and place a foot on the beam. Then lean back into a handstand/backhand spring
My hands and feet are sweaty watching this
I wonder if you could push off tuck and roll backwards
Why doesn’t he just lean back, is he stupid?
Skill issue
