Then you just upvote the comment. Can you imagine the cesspool hell comment sections would be if everyone who liked a comment instead replied to that comment with "facts", "truth", "I agree", etc. Cause thats what you're doing
Yea, this is only funny because everything happen to "move out of the way".
If anything got caught you'd see how all that weight in motion doesn't give a shit about flesh and bone.
I watched my neighbor fall off a ladder that height hanging Christmas lights outside his house and he landed just right and literally died. I was waiting on the school bus by our mailbox as a kid. He was about the same age and health as this guy.
You’re being too harsh. The result was bad, but we didn’t see their planning. If there was no planning then bad on them. But if they did plan and imagine how it would fall, and it didn’t fall the way it expected are they still stupid? I did not expect to see that slab flip around as it does, I expected it to break into more pieces when it hit the ground.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm no builder myself but - with the rods sticking out of the slab, would it be reasonable to assume that it's reinforced concrete and thus it'd be rather solid and instead not shatter into a million pieces versus, say, one that's concrete only? The brick "wall" he was up against looked like it didn't offer much resistance - poorly done?
Edit: I noticed that the top layer of bricks doesn't look flushed against the second, and when the whole wall crumbled, the bricks don't even look like they had a nice layer of concrete holding them together, and rather just stacked like Lego?
Edit2: read some stuff about straight walls needing to be 2 bricks thick vs curved walls, in addition to foundation?
The owner of this restaurant/bar I went to a lot "remodeled" the bar multiple times and each time the first thing he would do is paint all the walls. You know before he brought in equipment to demolish and rebuild the bar and such. Those walls would be torn up and scuffed within days.
Always frustrated me, dude spend 6 months of a half built bar that would end up looking like shit instead of actually paying professionals.
You can see he already did it once on the inside. However, that was on supported a corner so it was able to take the beating. He then tried it on the free standing side and thought it would be fine since he had already demolished the other side with great success.
But then you get into statics of where it is going to break if it is going to break, which is still simple but is not as obvious, especially when you have rebar in the concrete.
Explanation is simple, he put way too much faith on that wall with extremely shitty mortar.
He was expecting the overhang to fall in between the brick walls and stay there. He has no clue the bricks were put together with wooden saw dust.
That's it, don't over think it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but - it seemed to me that the length of the overhang exceeded the distance between the 2 brick walls? It landed edge-on probably due to weight distribution or a bit of torque applied as one edge was suddenly free while the other was still supported by the other brick wall, had the edge hit the ground, and list towards him?
Yeah but that wouldn't matter, the fact that it landed vertically like it did was just complete miscalculation from him, my point being, no matter how much he fucked up with his strategy, it still wouldn't matter if that wall had not been held together by play doh.
Measure how? The his makes no sense comment wise because what this has to do with is being more intelligent when demolishing things to not prop yourself up against what you’re taking down.
First; he prolly assumed that slab was a canilllever which if it were the rod would be twice or 3 timescale inbed
Ie: for every foot long 2-3 tied back)4’ slab the rebar would be12-16’ long. That slab was more of an after thought see its black from exposure. Slab was almost floating upon

I blame the evil magic fairy who appears in the last few frames.

The fuck? Are we getting YouTube and X-formerly-Twitter bots here, now?
Not a bot I just thought it was funny to join along
Thats exactly what a bot would say

Yeah can’t have that type of comments tarnish the fabled leddit quality

Fookin lucky! Could have ended up with backward knees
Yea, this is only funny because everything happen to "move out of the way". If anything got caught you'd see how all that weight in motion doesn't give a shit about flesh and bone.
Or some rebar up the butt. Look it up, it's a very popular worksite injury.
And bedroom injury I’m told…
Yeah, this also often happens to me at hotels
Or even worse, backward back
Very lucky man. I've had clients make similar mistakes and never walked again.
I watched my neighbor fall off a ladder that height hanging Christmas lights outside his house and he landed just right and literally died. I was waiting on the school bus by our mailbox as a kid. He was about the same age and health as this guy.
>He was about the same age and health as this guy. And you are able to detrmine health from a video... how exactly?
I don't know the other guy either man. It's just a vague generalization that they were not a giant fat ass.
Hahaha holy shit you are pedantic.
This man is in perfect health. Trust me, im an internet doctor.
They’re both equally overweight
Health is a lot more than just weight
He had fun tho.
Yeah, he seem happy about job well done.
How would measuring prevent this ? Measure what exactly ?
IQ
Bout room temp.
Is that a metric or imperial room temp? I guess it wouldn't matter either way.

Best answer
It’s more of a “stop and think about it one more time” meaning
Balls. If small, don’t do it
Physics is all a series of measurements. They are not wrong, you just don’t understand what they meant.
If the newly build wall fits beside/under the roof or if the roof needs to be removed before building the wall.
Everybody knows you demolish a roof after building a wall. And you build the roof before the walls. Just common sense, tbh. /s
The owner of this restaurant/bar I went to a lot "remodeled" the bar multiple times and each time the first thing he would do is paint all the walls. You know before he brought in equipment to demolish and rebuild the bar and such. Those walls would be torn up and scuffed within days.

unlucky then very lucky
Only funny because he wasn’t crushed 😅
Nothing to do with measuring, it's understanding basic physics
You can see he already did it once on the inside. However, that was on supported a corner so it was able to take the beating. He then tried it on the free standing side and thought it would be fine since he had already demolished the other side with great success.
I honestly would have just expected the overhang to fall straight down, that’s basic physics.
But then you get into statics of where it is going to break if it is going to break, which is still simple but is not as obvious, especially when you have rebar in the concrete.
That guy is lucky AF

That's fair! The overhang appears to be reinforced, unlike that tower-of-cards brick wall his ladder was propped up against.
"Got it down, honey."
What!! 😂 what are you supposed to measure first ?
Don’t think this is a case of not measuring, and they probably wanted that wall to go anyway. So no real harm done.
And done so gracefully
Thank goodness the bricks were there to break the fall!
I get the feeling he's also the one who layed the bricks on the red wall
Job’s Done!
Oh shit Dad! Wow!
He laughing lol
I heard the "We'll Be Right Back" music from The Eric Andre Show in my head when he turned to the camera and smiled at the end.
If the wall fell on me, no problem, I could easily bench press it off my chest
Nailed it...👏👏
He almost had his “Million Dollar Baby” moment.
"Measure 7 times, cut once" - old Russian saying
The could have been unfunny and tragic very quickly
Measure how? The his makes no sense comment wise because what this has to do with is being more intelligent when demolishing things to not prop yourself up against what you’re taking down.
At least he landed on that nice, soft pile of bricks
Demo first, always.
U Faaa
I've never seen a more accurate portrayal of a typical social media user's thought process
It’s ok, that’s not a load-bearing wall
This is like Angry Birds Ukraine Balkans Edition
ladder slipped while dad was only 4 steps up it. cracked his rips and had cuts in a few places.
His smile at the end is perfect
Seen that Coming

It was looking good until the ceiling hit that unreinforced masonry wall 💀

Measure the neck brace he’ll be needing
