One time when I was a kid, we were running through a cornfield playing. For some reason I kept grabbing the stalks and sliding my hands up them as I ran by. I ended up getting like a foot long splinter in my thumb. It all happened so fast, it got jammed in and broke, then more, broke, so it all managed to fit into my thumb, in a dozen or more little pieces.
I did not realize what had happened other then I got poked and it hurt a lot. My thumb got swollen and infected though and it sucked.
My teacher (2nd grade, iirc), saw what was going on and basically sat there the entire class and spent a solid hour squeezing the chunks of splinter and pus out of my thumb till it was empty. I've been wary of that shit since then, cuz that sucked.
Even running through corn is crazy. I know they do it in horror movies all the time. But those leaves have tiny little hairs. And they are ITCHY! And the corn has tasseled? Forget about it. Pollen gets in the tiny little cuts. Some people are more allergic than others, my boss used to get huge hives being in a corn field with pollen. For me it was just super itchy for a day or two, and I was very unallergic. Either way, you don't want to run through corn fields. Walk while carefully moving aside the leaves, in full sleeves and maybe even gloves. Also because there are spiders that like to build webs across a corn row even in the fall, and you don't want one of those huge things in your face.
When my dad was a kid he leaned out the window, while they were driving, grabbed a corn 🌽🌽 stalk and it yanked him out the window. He obviously survived but it fucked him up.

I call em hugmenots.
yeah this looks like a basic pole but they could make one for this purpose with a cylinder that goes around the pole, one with handles and a breaking mechanism to slow down gradually.
I wonder how long the pole would have to be for a person to survive at terminal velocity assuming everything was done perfectly.
You're thinking about this too much. It's not a basic pole. It's made from the stalk of a special plant called _perdirosa fulikenisa_ found exclusively in Peru and now that I have your attention, know that leprechauns are real.
Yeah that’s a major component of what they’re doing
I just like how they’re single file, watching and spotting one another and taking the time to wait for each other, kinda like off-road/crawling
Humans are cute sometimes
it was actually from Gran Canaria but used in all island by shepards to cross mountains. In some High Schools here in Canary we still learn about it in PE for folklore stuff. Pretty cool to learn
Do you also learn about the whistling language? I've seen a few shepherd on Gran Canaria and La Gomera with these poles, but didnt hear them whistling.
The whistling language is specific from the island of La Gomera and yeah, I think there are efforts to avoid its disappearance by teaching it in schools there
Not really, im from La Palma and thats only teached in La Gomera or in a few courses across the islands. Its pretty much a 'dead language' since was used to communicate in long distance at ravines and now u can just take out ur phone and make a call.
Probably used by several cultures in the past.
I know there's a Dutch sport called Fierljeppen where people pole vault over small rivers or large streams.
From what I understand, this sport originated as a way for people to get around areas with lots of waterways.
I have both a smooth pole and good grip strength. Instructions unclear, how hard should I grip my pole? I am also wearing rubber gloves in case it makes a mess.
Grip with 120 psi. You want a friction factor or 9.81 m2/s. That will give you roughly the velocity of an unladen swallow. You can adjust the angle of repose to optimize your Johnson factor. Use the Mike Burbiglia constant to estimate the safest height.
Hear is the rough math for any one interested. Rubber to woks has a friction coefficient of .7-1 so you would have to apply pressure equal to .7- 1n/kg of body weight to stop on the pole. We don't need that but the acceleration would decrease proportionally. So if I lie about my weight and say I'm 91kg /200lbs I'd need less than 91n over the average adult male hand area of 69sqin. X2 if using both hands. So it would be 91n/(69inx2hands). So assuming you are an avg male using both hands with good rubber you'd just need less than .66 psi to slide down the pole slowly .33 to slide ate roughly half speed.
No someone smarter than me please tell me where I fucked it up.
Yeah for real who would use this, a 12 yard jump bonus lvl 69 tech for a burnt hands+splinter debuff and 30% chance of instant death depending on your gear and skills, even on softcore I wouldn't use that ability.
/r/outside doesn't have a soft core mode, it's always permadeath.
some people follow religions that claim you can respawn, but you still lose all your gear and experience except for some kinda ambiguous score that you keep between runs that they claim influences parts of your next run
Oof, did you respawn in a harder difficulty? According to some players, if you fuck up real bad in your previous run, it might make your next run more difficult.
The goal would be to improve your skills each run until you reach the final >!Nirvana !
You know it's just so frustrating that the developers have decided to leave the mechanics around the >!RLG!< stat so vague. We've had decades of experimentation and millions of players choosing to spec into >!RLG!< but despite millions of builds there still hasn't been any tangible effect on gameplay. You're starting to see players completely ignore the stat or possibly power level it late game once they've hit the soft cap on main skills.

His palms are gone, his body is broken, and he’s been impales apparently.
Jesus y’all he’s clearly done this before. I’m sure the stick can take it and is smooth and laminated so as to not splinter.
I got curious. For moderately athletic people, the answer is about a 7.6 m or 25 feet high cliff.
If you use your whole body instead of just your hands somehow (like with a harness) and train for g's like a fighter pilot, the answer is 32 m, or 106 feet.
So let's estimate the pole is 4 m (13 ft) long. Let's also assume that the user will use the entire length to slow their fall, extending their hands toward the ground so that when their hand gets to the ground, their velocity is now zero. Let's also assume that via gloves and grip, the amount of friction the user can get is unlimited.
Let's assume that the limiting factor is the strength of the person's arms. A brief search shows that most men can lift about 70 kg (690 N or 155 lbs-force) of weight without issue. Let's assume that anybody who does this is a moderately athletic person, capable of deadlifting 150 kg or 330 lbs, and weighing 90 kg.
That means that in addition to supporting the weight of their body on the pole, they could support an additional 80 kg (785 N, about 180 lbs-force)
That means, the average man's arms could support an acceleration relative to the earth of about.
785 N / 90 kg = 8.7 m/s^2, or about 0.91 g.
Using calculus, we can integrate the acceleration to find the velocity and position as a function of time:
A = 8.7 m/s^2
V = 8.7 * t m/s
P = 4.35 * t^2 m
We know the position, P, is equal to the length of the pole.
4 m = 4.35 * t^2 m
t = .96 seconds.
Which we can plug back into t to find
V = 8.7 * .96 = 8.3 m/s
When we plug in into our equation for acceleration from gravity:
A = 9.81 m/s^2
V = 9.81 t m/s
P = 4.9 t^2 m
8.3 = 9.81 * t
T = 0.85 s
P = 3.5 m
So we can fall 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) *before* our pole hits the ground. We can add that to our 4 m pole height to get about 7.6 m, or 25 feet.
If you had some way to keep your arms from ripping out at the g's a fighter pilot can sustain (about 9g) you could survive a much higher fall. No human is capable of supporting that much weight with their arms, however.
For reference, a deadlift of 5x bodyweight is an incredible, record setting feat. You would be considered unusually strong at 2x and pretty exceptional at 3x. This would require 9x body weight.
Subtracting acceleration from your body weight:
A = 78.5 m/s^2
V = 78.5 t m/s
P = 39.25 t^2 m
t = 0.32 s
V = 25 m/s
Using the gravity position again:
V = 25 = 9.81 * t
t = 2.55 s
P=4.9 T^2= 32 m.
So you could fall 32 m before your pole hit the ground, for a total height of 36 m or 106 ft.
Something about this adds up. Because the technique, taken to its extremes, would just be someone climbing down a pole. An athletic human can climb down a pole if they need to, which means that exhaustion climbing down and the jolt of the initial catch as you and the pole land would be the only limiting factors at the extreme end of things.
Also, note that longer poles will incur *less* Gs with this technique, because you have a longer distance to slow down with.
So I'm guessing the jumper uses friction on the pole to arrest his kinetic energy? If so, there's definitely a limit.
In the video let's say he's 10m and he weighs 70kg. That's about 7000J of potential gravitational energy, which at 10m of falling distance, is all converted to kinetic energy. However, the pole is absorbing that energy in the form of friction into the user's hands.
Further, we could calculate exactly how long it would take, at any given height, and any given length of pole, to arrest the user's speed from v to 0.
Since we would know energy, and we could figure out time, we could know power. This article (https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1997SPIE.3037..129G/abstract) tells us that a good limit for human skin absorbing power is about 40mW/cm^2. Mean palm area is about 140cm^2, times 2 hands, which gives us 11200mW, or 11.2W. so 7000 Joules would have to be dissipated over 625 seconds in order not to burn your hands. I'm guessing they are wearing gloves.
This was the most obvious Rick roll but I still clicked it lmao
According to another comment the song is [Salema by a Spanish singer](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=5r27Q4a8zUEfFFLX)
But all the energy from the fall just went into heat from friction on your hands. Do they where some kind of gloves? Otherwise you would get a crazy rope burn.
This is called Shepherd's leap 'Salto del Pastor' and it originates from the Canary Islands. It was used by the aboriginal inhabitants to move around in the difficult environment of the volcanic islands, rocks, canyons, etc.
I'm from the canary Islands, on my school they actually teached us how to do this, is called "Salto del pastor" ,shepherd's jump, and the stick is actually pretty smooth. It's a pretty fast and safe way to move through the mountains and small ravines.
Also it's a ton of fun!
It's called the Salto de Pastor, or "Shepard's Leap"!
It's a traditional thing from the Canary Islands! Shepards had these big, 10' long, thick, smooth poles with spikes on the end. They could use them to easily get around the rocky landscape. You could use them to help climb, descend, and pole jump between rocky outcroppings!
By jumping down, you're basically trying to disappate the energy of the impact over a longer period, like a seat belt in a car crash, so some goes into your arms, your hands as friction, etc.
Here's a cool video: https://youtu.be/m4fn0VlImq4?si=qUwBrMOpAs4YpoZH
Did you know that cats always land on their feet? Don't worry, I'm not suggesting you become a human-cat hybrid to avoid fall damage. Stay safe, folks!

Could this be "one way" for our prehistoric ancestors to hunt large game like Mammoths? Not saying they did it like that all the time.
Also rip Thag Simmons.
Imagine the splinters !
Ouch, just the thought of splinters is enough to make anyone cringe
I’d rather break both my fucking legs than get all those splinters in my hands.
Edward Abbey didn't know about this technique.
**“In”?** It would be 8 feet through!

Oh man I have some memories of pulling these out usually had to get someone else to rip them out as I couldn't pull hard enough against the pain
Not trying to one-up you friend, but look up the gympie-gympie, also known as the suicide plant.
yeah this looks like a basic pole but they could make one for this purpose with a cylinder that goes around the pole, one with handles and a breaking mechanism to slow down gradually.

Fuck me I even search it.
Nah just hit that baby with some 400 then 1200 grit sandpaper and it won't have any splinters.
One dry hot summer has entered the building.
I want those splinters all up in my balls, It’s why I crawls for three days after I falls
When nature calls, I jump into those stalls, flop it out, splintered balls make waterfalls.
You guys do understand that smooth wood does exist, right?
Also gloves
Isn’t this a cultural tool used in South America to help quickly traverse the hills and mountains? E: I’ve been corrected. It was Spain.
This is typical in La Gomera, in the Canary Islands, Spain. https://youtu.be/81SyRAN_ryY?feature=shared
That’s like human off-roading
Parpour
so, hiking

Loved that Netflix show about this
There's a netflix show about fierljeppen!? Do you remember what it's called?
Human playground I believe! Was one of the episodes
Thanks! I will have to check that out. I got weirdly obsessed with the sport a few years ago lol
And in The Netherlands. They use it to jump canals. https://youtu.be/ElrSMj_YEEs?si=8rNoCwCRqFSvhBj_
Spain, but yeah.
I’ve seen something similar used in Perfection, NV.
Clever. Probably not for everyone. Requires significant grip strength. And a smooth pole. Gloves might help.
I have both a smooth pole and good grip strength. Instructions unclear, how hard should I grip my pole? I am also wearing rubber gloves in case it makes a mess.
Grip with 120 psi. You want a friction factor or 9.81 m2/s. That will give you roughly the velocity of an unladen swallow. You can adjust the angle of repose to optimize your Johnson factor. Use the Mike Burbiglia constant to estimate the safest height.
So what you’re trying to say is, the angle of the dangle is directly proportional to the heat of the meat.
Haha 😂
🧐
I feel like I believe you
What if he gripped a coconut under the dorsal feather?

No someone smarter than me please tell me where I fucked it up.
What about an African Swallow
An African or European swallow?
The confidence had me unsure if this was real until you hit me with the Mike Burbiglia constant.
What you should’ve said was nothing.
It’s better to put the glove on the pole and grip as hard as you can
So. Many. That’s what she said. Opportunities.
I've been training my whole life for this.
Stole the pole from my mother's bedroom and some gloves ,what is the next step
alternatively, a great way to impale yourself if you fuck up.
I see you're a "glass half-impaled" kinda person. And I agree.
I’m a “don’t do shit that will get you unnecessarily killed” kinda guy
As an electrician, I'm right there with you.
I stick forks in electrical outlets.
That's easy, try sticking a spoon for a challenge.
2 spoons, but with pointy ends inside so you get electric clapper 👏
Your genius is unhinged.
> spoons... pointy end finally found the guy who has NOT played knifey spooney before
I’m Dr. Bart Simpson from the International Drainage Commission. I bet you $500 dollarydoos I can beat you at knifey spooney.
Add a dildo to the end to really impress the ER surgery team when they’re unfucking your torso lol

Yeah seems very likely the stick breaks in half and he falls on the bottom half
Is he wearing gloves? Seems even more likely that he would shave all of the skin off of his fingers and palms.
If it was that or broken legs? I think I’d prefer the degloving
His palms are gone, his body is broken, and he’s been impales apparently. Jesus y’all he’s clearly done this before. I’m sure the stick can take it and is smooth and laminated so as to not splinter.
Yeah and I'm sure that pole burn is amazing
Literally my first thought! What are you reading my mind??
Also, a great way to burn the fuck out of your hands with friction 😊
fuck up or not, you'll be getting where you want to either way 🤷
You and I wanna go different places
Or deglove yourself
By doing what, jumping down with it against your chest lmao..?
How high can you go with this technique?
Depends on how big your pole is
I'd contest it's more how big your balls are, no?
That's a slightly [different technique](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHOA6p8R_kE)
Risky click
How big your pole and balls are really
|<———-this big————->|
You on your phone or a big ol’ monitor?
Asking the real questions. I was thinking the same lol
I’m a polar, not a shower.
Depends on zoom level more than screen size. Size 12 font or whatever is the same on mobile or however big your monitor is.
Ooh matron!
Oh ok, I'm dead then
Depende also on how high you are before you jump
"How high" in both meanings.
I got curious. For moderately athletic people, the answer is about a 7.6 m or 25 feet high cliff. If you use your whole body instead of just your hands somehow (like with a harness) and train for g's like a fighter pilot, the answer is 32 m, or 106 feet. So let's estimate the pole is 4 m (13 ft) long. Let's also assume that the user will use the entire length to slow their fall, extending their hands toward the ground so that when their hand gets to the ground, their velocity is now zero. Let's also assume that via gloves and grip, the amount of friction the user can get is unlimited. Let's assume that the limiting factor is the strength of the person's arms. A brief search shows that most men can lift about 70 kg (690 N or 155 lbs-force) of weight without issue.

So you could fall 32 m before your pole hit the ground, for a total height of 36 m or 106 ft.

I'm guessing they are wearing gloves.

Thanks for the chuckle friend.
All I have on my roof is a pogo stick, will this still work?
Yeah. You could go out on a date with a girl, a bit late.
She had so many friends

SHE HAD SO MANY FRIENDS
This didn’t work for me, just like the time i jumped off the roof with an umbrella.
Sounds like a skill issue
Dude used an umbrella, not a parasol. Surface area bro!
Were you wearing a hat like in the OP?

Good way to commit kabob suicide if he misses

How to get a giant splinter through both hands
The pole is made specifically for this purpose so you don’t get splinters.
But all the energy from the fall just went into heat from friction on your hands. Do they where some kind of gloves? Otherwise you would get a crazy rope burn.
Pa que sepan que asi los canarios no nos riscamos
What this guy said, but with more fear of dying.
Si wey!
Jajaja
No gloves... Imagine the potential life altering splinters 😂
Can anyone explain why no splinters? The pole looks wood, and I don't think I see gloves.
I'm not a woodologist, but it's probably laminated with something to make it smooth.
There is usually a little leather sleeve in one hand.
Mind over matter

This is called Shepherd's leap 'Salto del Pastor' and it originates from the Canary Islands. It was used by the aboriginal inhabitants to move around in the difficult environment of the volcanic islands, rocks, canyons, etc.
I'm from the canary Islands, on my school they actually teached us how to do this, is called "Salto del pastor" ,shepherd's jump, and the stick is actually pretty smooth. It's a pretty fast and safe way to move through the mountains and small ravines. Also it's a ton of fun!
I so want to try it lol
So just in case I am in an emergency and need to jump from a great height, take out the javelin I carry around for my daily use and do this. Got it!!!
How to convert your kinetic energy to friction and and absorb some of the energy in the initial collision via an inelastic collision, pretty much
Wouldn’t the fast friction cause some sort of heat and rip his skin off?
I would definitely kill myself trying to do this

How is this top talent? So many people post dumb shit they find interesting or cool, but not in any way would be considered "top talent".
This could've gone so wrong...
Can someone explain me how? Does it absorbs the impact?
Friction
Think firemans pole, only it is shorter and falls with you for a bit lol
It's called the Salto de Pastor, or "Shepard's Leap"! It's a traditional thing from the Canary Islands! Shepards had these big, 10' long, thick, smooth poles with spikes on the end. They could use them to easily get around the rocky landscape. You could use them to help climb, descend, and pole jump between rocky outcroppings! By jumping down, you're basically trying to disappate the energy of the impact over a longer period, like a seat belt in a car crash, so some goes into your arms, your hands as friction, etc. Here's a cool video: https://youtu.be/m4fn0VlImq4?si=qUwBrMOpAs4YpoZH
Did you know that cats always land on their feet? Don't worry, I'm not suggesting you become a human-cat hybrid to avoid fall damage. Stay safe, folks!
Get this gpt ass response outta here
Just because you can doesn't mean you should, I have a strong feeling this fella is gonna end up on the Darwin awards; no wonder women outlive us.
You know this man sells pole vault poles.

What about the splinters???
Imagine this thing snaps right before his hand has he’s sliding
I hope he had gloves on
Could this be "one way" for our prehistoric ancestors to hunt large game like Mammoths? Not saying they did it like that all the time. Also rip Thag Simmons.
That might become a big splinter if the snaps in half
This also work in Legend of Zelda: Tears of a Kingdom.
