I'm falling deep in the sky. Slipping into these hilarious vertically challenged puns.
For all the benefits life on a boat can afford (horrible schedules, really hard work, fear of drowning, seasickness), it turns out there are also some downsides. And upsides. Then back downsides. It's not the most stable lifestyle, let's put it that way. Here are some fun and freaky moments of seemingly impossible physics thanks to that good ol' fixed camera.
There are quite a few inappropriate places to fall unconscious, but the top of the list has gotta be "while leaning over a balcony." Right as he begins to fall unconscious he starts to fall for real, and he only has our MVP blue shirt guy to stop him from really messing himself up in the hardest-to-explain-way possible. Go mister blue shirt.
We could try to say that this is satisfying to watch, which it kind of is. We could also say that it's weird and interesting to see a fun example of physics at work in real life. But mostly, snow falling off a roof in extremely uniform pieces and in kind of a grid pattern just gives us major flashbacks to the guitar hero/rock band days. It's enough to make DragonForce start playing in your head.
Walking around in the mud isn't for everyone. This poor lad couldn't seem to get a handle on the mud for one dang second. What we have as a result is a series of absolutely hilarious, frustrated fails.
The Impossible Climb Andler in Belgium is a dirt bike challenge that has taken place 20 times, and it has never seen one totally successful attempt. Dirt bikers compete to try to get to the top of the incredibly steep hill, and usually get banged up in the process. In this 2019 event one rider got their front wheel across the finish line, but again, no one has ever officially made it to the top.
Some OSHA regulations seem sort of strict and ridiculous, but some really bad safety fails make you concede the point that some rules are there for a reason. It's non an enviable situation to be in to have a boss who wants you to do some sketchy-ass moves just so you can replace a light bulb, but we've been there.
Here are some quick fail gifs to make you reconsider trying anything. We've got a baby elephants trying to get a scratch, a kid trying to shovel dirt, incompetent soldiers trying to throw a grenade and more. For more failure gifs, here are some miscellaneous fails that left people worse for wear.
There you are, just minding your own business. And all of a sudden, a helpful sign tells you that there is a monkey. The sign doesn't tell you where the monkey is, just that it's around. And that it bites. And if you try to fight, you can't win. That's just one of the signs. What else is out there?
Don't let OSHA find out. Or the union. They'll have a kitten if they saw these places. So much for employee welfare. Some of these solutions to get to hard to reach spots to work are pretty clever. Most are just massive safety hazards waiting for a lawsuit to happen. But sometimes people have a one track mind, and just need to get done doing whatever they need to do, caution and common sense be damned. This guy knows all about when common sense goes out the window.
The desire to laugh at other peoples misfortunes is something that's deeply rooted in human nature. We love to watch people do stup*d shit only to fail miserably, provided that they aren't TOO badly injured.
That being said, it usually REALLY sucks when those hilarious things happen to you.
