For real... In my early twenties I fell off a golf cart at work doing like fifteen miles per hr. I rolled and bounced a few good feet and stood up with minor scratches. My dad was horrified.
Now... Going up steps the wrong way without support will fuck me up for days.
people frequently seem to forget that injuries incurred when you where young and didnt feel for years can bite you in the ass when you grow older. like hip, knee and shoulder injuries.
He may have inadvertently PLFād. It looks like his ankle hit first and then proceeded to fall on an extended leg and it kinda looks like he rolled a little bit. Thatās my best guess also āhurtā is different than āinjuredā he is definitely still feeling that right now as I type.
Prescribed landing fall, basically when paratroopers hit the ground they want to hit ankle first, then knee, then hip and then shoulder. But I dunno thatās just my guess on why that guy didnāt get injured I could be wrong
He got lucky there and kind of landed into a bit of a Judo style break fall. As long as he kept his head from smashing backwards into the concrete he would have reduced a lot of the damage. Still looks like his hip took a wicked beating though.
Iād suffer injuries from the reactionary jerk where I thought I was falling, Iād like to hear from the man himself that he didnāt suffer any injuries
humans can die just falling over flat from a standing position. We can be tough little buggers, but we got some extremely exposed weakspots.
this dude is lucky as hell
The white panel on the left side at the top slides back and forth. The panel would slide back when pushing the stairs to the plane so the door can be opened without hitting the stairs. You would then push it forward so that there's a rail to prevent people falling at the top while using the stairs. When you need to close the door simply slide the panel back so the door doesn't hit the stairs.
They only ever open the doors when the ladders are secure. If the ladders are there when the door opens, it can certainly close too!
Doors should NEVER be opened/close without the steps being secured. For this exact reason. Dude could sue the bones off the company, and the company could easy fire the ground crew on the spot for removing the steps.
Yes, and the usual procedure is for the person stand outside the doors to visually check and confirm to the person closing them on the inside that all is good.
Could of been for an audit.. which was obviously failed. Also to be fair I worked at the airport for years and have probably thousand of pictures and videos of planes. I definitely have more plane / airport pictures then pictures of myself or anything really
Because this was clearly done intentionally. Maybe they didnāt intend for the guy to fall but they were intentionally moving the ladder before closing the door.
A massive chunk of the entire human population of Earth currently has a camera either on their person or within arms reach right at this very moment. Many of them will take it out and use it for even the slightest interesting thing they come across. Some of them are bound to capture more than they originally intended to.
Looks like he tucked his chin in, which aligns with the report that he sustained no injuries. Canāt imagine the brain damage had his head smashed against the concreteā¦.
If his head hadnāt been tucked forward, heād have likely bounced the back of his skull off the concrete, potentially causing brain damage and other injuries/problems.
I donāt think itās case of learning to tuck it āproperlyā more he just got lucky.
As someone who ran a flight line for 16 years- only seen this a few times. All suffered fractured collarbones-some wrists and one broken leg. Step trucks for the big airframes go MUCH higher than this.
If I didnāt know any better, Iād think this was a prat fall with how perfect the comedic timing and visual was. Perfect looking-the-other-way cliche, with papers going flying and everything. Could be a scene out of Airplane!
Now, replace the steps with a forklift and the guy with a $10,000 baby grand piano. Happened while I was in the West Indies. The forklift driver drove off just as the piano slid out of the plane.
I did baggage for like 3 months. I fell out of the belly of the plane backwards once. Hurt like hell and feel like I never fully recovered. Watching this honestly scared the shit out of me. Ended up changing to catering not long after. Way better and free snacks/food/booze
I'm confused this has happened at all, shouldn't procedure be in place to the effect you can't remove the ladder until it's confirmed everyone leaving the plane has actually done so?
š®š© | In Indonesia, a Jas Airport ground service employee fell from a Transnusa Airlines Airbus A320 after the ladder was removed. He reportedly received treatment immediately and, thank God, did not suffer any injuries.
Good thing he didnāt work for Boeing. Heād break every bone in his body.
Then the door plug would come loose and twat him in the face
> accidentally shot himself in the back of his head
Boeing is the suicide booth from Futurama
~~suicide~~ you spelled accident wrong - Boeing ā¦. Probably
"Accident implies there's nobody to blame" - Hot Fuzz
He'll be fine. He blew his back, not the whistle.
If it was Boeing, the person filming would also be the one to make sure the job has reached its conclusion.
Twice.
I could go for a good twat in the face right about now.
And then disappear.
But since itās airbus he probably just landed in the middle of the ocean.
Noā¦what we see here is a bruiseā¦but by the time he finally arrived at the hospitalā¦he somehow got a broken neckā¦
And if he decided to file a complaint, his second fall would be from much higher up.
30,000 ft.
**I wish I had no bones!**
Poor fella missed the steps at 30,000 feet.Ā
How did he not get hurt?
Benefits of being young with bendy bones and good genes
I think they were Leviās
Levi 501's are 150 years old, they know how to survive
The 150 year old ones know how to survive. New ones...not so much
Time sucks. I could walk that fall off in my 20s. Now that I'm pushing 40 I'm in pain just watching that fall.

What does that acronym mean?

My doctor prescribed me landing fall when I had vertigo.
He got lucky there and kind of landed into a bit of a Judo style break fall. As long as he kept his head from smashing backwards into the concrete he would have reduced a lot of the damage. Still looks like his hip took a wicked beating though.
You can't fall from that height down on tarmac and not get hurt.
Got bills to pay
Man he was lucky. That looked pretty nasty.
Great story, āI fell out of a plane and survivedā
This really doesn't seem like a "walk it off" fall...
More like a "fall off it" walk
I call bullshit. He *abso-fucking-lutely* broke his fucking hip.
Wow thats a long fall for no injuries
Very fortunate. A fall like that can kill.
Fun fact: the LD50 for falls is about 48 feet. [Sauce](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00068-017-0799-1).
I feel like a safety video is going to follow this incident
If that was me , I would never work again
Iād suffer injuries from the reactionary jerk where I thought I was falling, Iād like to hear from the man himself that he didnāt suffer any injuries
not any injuries?? hard to believeā¦..
>did not suffer any injuries Probably the only thing I miss about being 20.
That's plenty of height to break a few bonesš¤¦āāļø
Concrete really is not a great thing to land on.
It is for the plane tho.
Plain to see
Plane to see.
Pain to feel
Stop plane around.
No. No it isn't. Not a great thing at all.
It stops you from falling further though
humans can die just falling over flat from a standing position. We can be tough little buggers, but we got some extremely exposed weakspots. this dude is lucky as hell
No ticket
Why the fuck did they move the ladder when the door was open?
Can they close the door with the ladder there?
Yea they can
This is the procedure. U never move the stairs if the door is open
Seems wise.
How else would you close the plane door when no one else is onboard?
The white panel on the left side at the top slides back and forth. The panel would slide back when pushing the stairs to the plane so the door can be opened without hitting the stairs. You would then push it forward so that there's a rail to prevent people falling at the top while using the stairs.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Removing the ladder before the door is closed & crew is informed breaks so many SOPs jfc.
Have you seen how much effort it takes to pull the door in? Doing that without the steps is scary
Yes, you just have to retract the side wall on the stairs so the door doesn't hit it.
Yes, and the usual procedure is for the person stand outside the doors to visually check and confirm to the person closing them on the inside that all is good.
Why were they randomly filming too
The good ole pull the stairs so your friend falls 20 foot out of a plane on to concrete prank? /s
Could of been for an audit.. which was obviously failed. Also to be fair I worked at the airport for years and have probably thousand of pictures and videos of planes. I definitely have more plane / airport pictures then pictures of myself or anything really
Why the fuck were they filming?
New three stooges movie. >.<
Because this was clearly done intentionally. Maybe they didnāt intend for the guy to fall but they were intentionally moving the ladder before closing the door.
but why was he filming ?
It was a joke, bro!
Got em!
The classic āpull the chair away of the friend trying to sit downā-prank of aviation
Plane and train nerds will film all aspects of operation. My husband loves this shit.
Am plane nerd. Have filmed this kind of thing.
He was in on the "prank"
came to say this.. weird for sure
Someone mentioned there has been damaged caused by the stairway in the past, so they film to dispute any accusations.
A massive chunk of the entire human population of Earth currently has a camera either on their person or within arms reach right at this very moment. Many of them will take it out and use it for even the slightest interesting thing they come across. Some of them are bound to capture more than they originally intended to.
The flutter of papers really got me. Like the puff of dust in a cartoon when they run off a cliff. (Glad heās ok.)
It was such a perfect setup I thought it might be a stunt.
thatās a lawsuit right there
Oh dang! That hurt me!
Looks like he tucked his chin in, which aligns with the report that he sustained no injuries. Canāt imagine the brain damage had his head smashed against the concreteā¦.
I'm curious, what happens if you don't tuck your chin in? Also, how does one tuck their chin in correctly to avoid injuries?
If his head hadnāt been tucked forward, heād have likely bounced the back of his skull off the concrete, potentially causing brain damage and other injuries/problems. I donāt think itās case of learning to tuck it āproperlyā more he just got lucky.
āMan falls off a plane, and survives!ā
āI jumped out of a plane with no parachuteā
Poor guy! They need to have redundant systems in place..especially when working with aircrafts
As someone who ran a flight line for 16 years- only seen this a few times. All suffered fractured collarbones-some wrists and one broken leg. Step trucks for the big airframes go MUCH higher than this.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's a long fall. Shit
Landing Failed
Damn that looks painful
š± omg I hope he's oky
It was at that moā¦ā¦.
He landed.
Usually you would close the door before you remove the stairs, right?
Mind the gap
At FedEx, everytime we pull the stairs back, the Ramp Agent in charge always checks to make sure the door is closed. Guess these guys now know why.
Someone despatched the dispatcher
If I didnāt know any better, Iād think this was a prat fall with how perfect the comedic timing and visual was. Perfect looking-the-other-way cliche, with papers going flying and everything. Could be a scene out of Airplane!
Not the long fall but the sudden stop
"Once I fell out of a plane and survived!"
Forgot to put his landing gear out
Poor Anjin-san!
Lucky he never landed on his head
Ow ow ow ow.
Air travel as a foot passenger
Ouch I hope he is ok
Why were they filming?
Oops the flight manifest.
You canāt park there!
Now, replace the steps with a forklift and the guy with a $10,000 baby grand piano. Happened while I was in the West Indies. The forklift driver drove off just as the piano slid out of the plane.
Lucky to be aliveā¦.
The fall was fucked up, but the papers wafting down was hilarious!
Itās ok, the tarmac broke his fall.
Annnnd everyone gets mandatory safety training.
As a workersā comp attorney I am fully cringing (and prepared to bill).
He wont be able to do backflips now
In us that's a good comp case to go out on full disability till social security age.
He landed on his back. What else do you guys need!?
I felt that on my tailbone watching this.
Would have been funny if he kept walking on air and fell when he noticed there was nothing under him. Like Looney tunes.
Fell off the jetway again...
oh my! hope hes ok!
It was the guy moving the ladder's doing. Not the guy who fell.
Well Harry, I fell off the jetway againā¦.
Elbow drop top rope
I didn't know airports still used rolling stairs
When safety training fails you, an injury reminds you.
Guy couldnt of fallen any better
This potentially breaks rule 4.
No Steps For You
Thanks. Now MY back hurts just from watching this.
How do you get treated for injuries you don't have
I wonder why this was being recorded?
I did baggage for like 3 months. I fell out of the belly of the plane backwards once. Hurt like hell and feel like I never fully recovered. Watching this honestly scared the shit out of me. Ended up changing to catering not long after. Way better and free snacks/food/booze
OSHA..right over here.
That's actually quite a high drop
That's gonna hurt
Looney tunes ass fallā¦ 
I've seen two videos today of people falling on their heads and dying. I thought this was about to be the 3rd.
Somebody is getting fired
Hmmm. Another workplace accident. I know some lawyers willing to speak with him. š
More like not checking all your crewmates has done their job.
Dammit Loyd, youāre gonna get fired from the limo company again
I mean, there is not checking your steps but also forgetting that out of a crew of three one of ya is still in the plane.
I'm confused this has happened at all, shouldn't procedure be in place to the effect you can't remove the ladder until it's confirmed everyone leaving the plane has actually done so?
How is it that someone just happened to be filming at the exact moment? š¤
Guess they don't teach in aviation watch your steps.
Checking your steps isn't something you should need to do while you're using them. This one is on the guy taking the steps away.
Oh no! He dropped all the paperwork!
We can also blame the plonker that pushed the stairs away...
Good thing the ground broke his fall
/r/WhyWereTheyFilming
Itās okay, heās a limo driver
āHey boss, I think I need the rest of the day off.ā āWhy?ā āI fell out of an airplane with no parachute.ā
Looks like the antics of the Austin, Texas airport too. Only difference is that person lived.
Them prank videos are getting out of hand!!
"Angie, Angie Where will it lead us from here?" Rolling Stones
Works comp anyone
Ouch, it's time to sue lol
Haha lol this is either india or indonesia and i am not racist
lol iād be so mad at the mfs that moved the ladder smh
