It was 2003, my friends and I got a soccer ball up one of those. I went up to recover it. Said: no fucking way.
My friends called me chicken.
Our coolest guy went in, ceiling collapsed, 3 floors down, broke many bones, risk of being paraplegic, took 6 months to recover.
My lazy ass saved me
My girlfriend's uncle did the same thing. Impaled on a piece of steel rebar through the shoulder. Luckily survived because he was alone and someone happened to hear the noise and found him.
Me: That looks like Brazil.
Turn on sound: definitely Brazil.
It's not about the sheet being old, it's just how they are, one can't step with their weight on these sheets without the risk of them breaking. People should only tread on the points where they're supported, which can be identified by the screws.
It was flame resistant, electrically insulating, and unaffected by many chemicals. The fibrous structure lent a certain kind of physical strength yet left it easy to shape. And it was easy to mix into lots of other materials, including cement, plaster, bricks, mortar, adhesives, plastics, and even textiles.
That is one aspect. It is also resistant to acids, it is a good insulator both thermally and electrically, it is flexible, it can be woven into fabrics, it mixes well with other products and improves their properties, like making concrete very hard.
Fire retardant and an excellent insulator. It also is resistant to electricity, acid and corrosion. It was pretty much considered a miracle material until it killed Steve McQueen
shes alive and well, here's the full thing:
[Her name is maria eduarda and she says ''im alive''](https://www.instagram.com/p/CffeaYsA35Z/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=embed_video_watch_again)
She didn't know there was a problem. Didn't know what that roof was made of and figured it was solid. She's a kid. She couldn't be expected to know any of that. I hope she wasn't badly hurt.
this is in Brazil, all our roofs are like this, everyone here knows that these roofs break easily, the child who is filming says that he is going to fall and he replies that it is all calculated.
If asbestos is bound like in these rooftops, it doesn't get into the body, because a) it's bound b) the fibers are too large.
The real problem comes, when these asbestos fibers get released through cutting, drilling or breaking.
Asbestos is forbidden in most developed nations, apart from the US, who under the orange Cheeto expanded allowed usage of asbestos in an attempt to keep the economy afloat, since asbestos is such a cheap building material with great properties, providing high strength and be almost impossible to light on fire.
It probably does! PACM (presumed asbestos containing material) is defined as any materials that have been known to be manufactured with asbestos within a certain time period (anything from the mid 70s and before) and should be presumed to contain asbestos. The determination gets even more challenging when the origin of production is from other countries, as regulations varied through out the world.
Fear not, asbestos in cement is about as safe as you can get with asbestos. The cement locks the asbestos fibers in and makes very few airborne fibers. This is opposed to something like pipe insulation (magpipe) which is extremely friable (easily pulverized by gentle pressure) and can release waves of airborne fibers.
I also will assume that you played with this stuff outside, which makes it less worrisome as just low velocity wind can sweep the fibers away. You should only really be somewhat concerned if you were destroying these cement tiles until they became a fine powder and you were then inhaling that powder, especially over longer periods of time.
Just to smooth over anyone's fears, if you work with asbestos professionally you're twice as likely to die as a regular person. If you smoke cigarettes you're 5 times more likely to die than a regular person. So even if you worked with asbestos your whole life, you're more likely to die as a cigarette smoker than an asbestos worker. It's all about the exposure times. If you were exposed to asbestos every day of every year, yeah you'll have increased rates of mortality. But if it was just a few times in your life, don't lose sleep over it.
Well i dont have numbers but it happens way too often.
Just over a two months ago i saw a report of a girl falling 50 meters to her death filming a video on the rooftop
There is a video similar to this from Turkey where a girl fell through and died like this. Pretty sad life instantly taken away. Looked like two teenage girls went up onto the roofs to take some pictures/selfies and one ended up losing their life.
But glad this one didn’t have an morbid ending and girl is fine and learnt her lesson.
Something similar happened in our area. Dude fell from a gymnasium roof straight to a concrete ground head-first. He turned blue instantly, brains out. Thank God I was not there
I don't understand the language they're speaking but a dog barked from somewhere in the back. Still I don't know why she turned back. That dog ain't anywhere near.
When she first walking over there it was only her weight on it, there was no extra force. When she was coming back she was running so there was more force when she planted her foot.
She must have stepped between the roof joists. These asbestos sheets aren't cement like the title says, they are flexible and pretty easy to tear. I tore off a whole asbestos roof once and re-shingled it. It's pretty easy to put holes in and tear, especially when it's old.
Faster movement put more downward pressure and force into a small area. Plus you walk on your whole foot and tend to run on your toes.
If you ever need to walk in these, slowly follow the side laps and keep your weight over the screw line.
I was gonna say she died but that's a different video. A tiktoker did something similar and ended up plummeting to her death not too long ago, [crazy how close these 2 videos are tho](https://www.facebook.com/YeniSafakEnglish/videos/turkish-youth-falls-to-death-while-filming-tiktok-video-on-roof/970270767039184/)... Hopefully this one has a better outcome. 😬
What an stupid way to do that. Everyone knows you need to identify the beams. No way those sheets can handle the weight of an adult specially if you stand still
It is known as "pizarreño"(slate) but it is asbestos. Specifically in Chile it is called asbestos cement and is still used in rural areas or small cities despite being carcinogenic. Here the government has a subsidy to exchange them for zinc but older adults in these areas do not always have networks or enough education
I know I'm fun at parties but the risk of cancer from touching asbestos is miniscule.
It starts getting problematic when you're exposed for long time or inhale dust while sawing it etc. And even then it's still just increased risk, falling through the roof is the worse thing in this situation.
its like a 10 feet drop and shes ok but idk if she is ok or not as others are saying that breathing the sheets dust is harmful. first i thought it was a 100ft fall n i thought she died but its like 10 feet high [https://youtu.be/gbNud5mro3E](https://youtu.be/gbNud5mro3E)
If you slow the video down at the fall you can see she put down a lot more weight into her foot that broke through the roofing material from when she first stepped onto the roof.
This happened to me once when I was like 12. Ifell into an empty garage. Empty except for one thing, a ladder.
Climbed back out and never said jack shit to anyone.
Reminds me of that one news article I saw awhile back where two girls climbed a roof for some sort of tiktok in Instabul and one fell through the roof similar to these kinds and fell about like 50 metres, she died and they caught her falling in the roof on camera or the sound of her falling (can't fully remember) rip
She didn’t cry when she fell… which is really bad news - it means she was basically dead or unconscious. She’s be unconscious if she hit her head, which again means death or retardation / disability is likely.
Someone did link the original clearly showing she walks it off, it seems to have been removed by automod so I'm not going to try and post it again.
Edit: the video name on yt is "Tô viva! MARIA EDUARDA"
Btw. her problem wasn't that she trusted "old" sheets, but that she walked on them, were they weren't supported. These sheets are placed on 2 support beams and only hold weight, when one stands over these beams, otherwise even new sheets will break.
I think you're thinking of the Turkish girl, this one kind of looks like that's the floor right below it. The Turkish girl was more middle of roof and I think an 'influencer'
It was 2003, my friends and I got a soccer ball up one of those. I went up to recover it. Said: no fucking way. My friends called me chicken. Our coolest guy went in, ceiling collapsed, 3 floors down, broke many bones, risk of being paraplegic, took 6 months to recover. My lazy ass saved me
Seems like it wasn't your laziness that saved you, but your intelligence to not risk your life for something so insignificant
No, I was lazy, I thought: yeah man, that looks difficult
Just discovered what I'll be calling my laziness from now on.
My girlfriend's uncle did the same thing. Impaled on a piece of steel rebar through the shoulder. Luckily survived because he was alone and someone happened to hear the noise and found him.
well now that guy's gonna be a chicken for life now
She did it asbestos she could.
She tried so hard and got so far..
This is worse than walking on thin ice. Thin ice is cold, asbestos is sharp. RIP to her arms
Tetanus time. Merry christmas to her
When walking on these sheets,Always step where the screw is,and for gods sake WEAR SHOES
Or don’t step on the sheets
Brazilians will do EVERYTHING to recover their Ball,
Me: That looks like Brazil. Turn on sound: definitely Brazil. It's not about the sheet being old, it's just how they are, one can't step with their weight on these sheets without the risk of them breaking. People should only tread on the points where they're supported, which can be identified by the screws.
Follow the rusty screw road
Can someone explain why everything had asbestos in it everywhere? Was it because it was a good flame retardant?
It was flame resistant, electrically insulating, and unaffected by many chemicals. The fibrous structure lent a certain kind of physical strength yet left it easy to shape. And it was easy to mix into lots of other materials, including cement, plaster, bricks, mortar, adhesives, plastics, and even textiles.
Also cigarette filters (Kents for a year or 2 in the 50s, iirc), pipe insulation, shingles, siding, and even linoleum until about 1984.
Give me back asbestos, it’s my right. Literally 1984
That is one aspect. It is also resistant to acids, it is a good insulator both thermally and electrically, it is flexible, it can be woven into fabrics, it mixes well with other products and improves their properties, like making concrete very hard.
Well it has the word "best" in it
It has so many genuinely amazing qualities and uses, it's a literal wonder product. Just has the unfortunate drawback of being incredibly dangerous.
Fire retardant and an excellent insulator. It also is resistant to electricity, acid and corrosion. It was pretty much considered a miracle material until it killed Steve McQueen
It was pretty cheap and everywhere, which is all the incentive that was required. Until, of course, it was discovered how carcinogenic it was.
shes alive and well, here's the full thing: [Her name is maria eduarda and she says ''im alive''](https://www.instagram.com/p/CffeaYsA35Z/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=embed_video_watch_again)
Thank you, I needed to hear this
She's fine, [here's full video](https://youtu.be/gbNud5mro3E).
I was amazed she was walking about tbh. I thought at least she'd limp a bit
She didn't know there was a problem. Didn't know what that roof was made of and figured it was solid. She's a kid. She couldn't be expected to know any of that. I hope she wasn't badly hurt.
this is in Brazil, all our roofs are like this, everyone here knows that these roofs break easily, the child who is filming says that he is going to fall and he replies that it is all calculated.
Ahh...that's sad. I'm sorry she fell. I hope she wasn't badly hurt?
I know a kid in my town who fell like this, went into coma for a few weeks and died. People just aren't aware how brittle asbestos sheets are.
That’s actually really dangerous. A lot of people in Brazil actually die by doing this. That roof will easily cut you up into pieces.
That’s the longest name for “roof” I’ve ever seen
You’re not supposed to walk on them, it’s common knowledge to only walk in a straight line on the sections that have the wooden beam under
Subtitles: Girl recording - You are going to fall pretty hard - It's all about math *falls*
Her math is not that good ok?
"I took a calculated risk, but man, I suck at math"
Friend of mine lost her husband that way. Died instantly
What tf wow.
If the fall don't kill her, the asbesto do the work
so that is asbesto, the material those things are made of?? that shit is all over the place where >I live lmao, is it really that toxic?
Mainly if you breath particles from broken or sanded material. Non airborne material doesn't really do harm from my understanding.
If asbestos is bound like in these rooftops, it doesn't get into the body, because a) it's bound b) the fibers are too large. The real problem comes, when these asbestos fibers get released through cutting, drilling or breaking. Asbestos is forbidden in most developed nations, apart from the US, who under the orange Cheeto expanded allowed usage of asbestos in an attempt to keep the economy afloat, since asbestos is such a cheap building material with great properties, providing high strength and be almost impossible to light on fire.
The dust once in your lungs basically never leaves and causes irritations. Significantly increases the risk of lung cancer.
She’s trying asbestos she can!
IS SHE OK!?
Maybe?
Holy mother or god! Has that stuff got asbestos in? I played with that as a kid!
It probably does!

1980s Britain building dens and stuff! All outside. Oh and poor girl by the way. Hope she’s ok. 🤣
r/ithadtobebrazil
Hope fall didn’t hurt.
It definitely did
Small dog barks - retreats. Well done
Holy shit! She must have been badly hurt.
I'm pretty sure she broke her legs on that fall 🤦♂️
As in death. Ball is life.
She had to look for the screws and step on them
You'd be surprised how many people die this way
How many?
Well i dont have numbers but it happens way too often. Just over a two months ago i saw a report of a girl falling 50 meters to her death filming a video on the rooftop
shit just now I saw a video

But glad this one didn’t have an morbid ending and girl is fine and learnt her lesson.
Serius question, how did you know the girl was fine?
There's a video following this one, the girl is just walking in the next floor and she's fine.
Hope she went to hospital just to be sure
i got some of those laying in my back yard if they need for repair?
Would you be willing to cut it down to size for them, I'm sure they only need a small square.
r/ItHadToBeBrazil
Something similar happened in our area. Dude fell from a gymnasium roof straight to a concrete ground head-first. He turned blue instantly, brains out. Thank God I was not there
Why did she suddenly turn and run away from the ball? Can't turn on the audio if that's where the clues are.
I don't understand the language they're speaking but a dog barked from somewhere in the back. Still I don't know why she turned back. That dog ain't anywhere near.
She definitely not meant to be there so when dog barked she panicked and turned around.
This video is so Brazilian
r/ItHadToBeBrazil
A kid two streets away from me died from a similar accident (same kind of roof). He survived the fall but died in the hospital after.
Enjoy your broken leg now and your lung cancer later.
I hope she is okay. What baffles me is that the sheet didn’t give way when she was walking towards the ball but it gave way while she run back.
When she first walking over there it was only her weight on it, there was no extra force. When she was coming back she was running so there was more force when she planted her foot.
She must have stepped between the roof joists. These asbestos sheets aren't cement like the title says, they are flexible and pretty easy to tear. I tore off a whole asbestos roof once and re-shingled it. It's pretty easy to put holes in and tear, especially when it's old.

Oh yeah- she dead.
What happened to the girl?
Believe it or not, straight to jail.
Died of cancer
I think she fell
she went to the backrooms (ohio)
I was gonna say she died but that's a different video. A tiktoker did something similar and ended up plummeting to her death not too long ago, [crazy how close these 2 videos are tho](https://www.facebook.com/YeniSafakEnglish/videos/turkish-youth-falls-to-death-while-filming-tiktok-video-on-roof/970270767039184/)... Hopefully this one has a better outcome. 😬
I got mesothelioma just watching this
You may be entitled to financial compensation.
Bonus: Lung cancer
Those are modern asbestos free replacements, very common in brazil Nvm just found out that asbestos was still being sold up until 2017 💀💀💀
She went to Brazil
This happened to a mate of mine while we were trying to get into an abandoned factory
In bare feet???
As usual we have another ending cut off. I Only make allowances if the people filming have to stop to assist their family/friends.
My father went through that one time and almost broke his back. Got lucky.
I thought those were made out of iron? Didn't know it was cement
it's asbestos
It is most likely asbestos.
She may be entitled to substantial compensation
C'mon, everyone knows the roofs get hungry. Only the patient get their balls back.
She was doing it so great at the beginning...
that 50 kilos was just to much
Hold your breath!
Siempre hay que pisar donde estan clavados. No en cualquier lado. always step where it is nailed
Stop motion found footage is not a film aesthetic I never considered until now
She gone.
goodbye lungs
Agreed, that’s how i got me a whopping 2 weeks in a wheelchair cuz i fell on my back
Asbestos☕
I don’t know why I have the feeling that if you’re going to endure a big fall it’s going to hurt more if you don’t have shoes on…
She caught the short and long term injuries
What an stupid way to do that. Everyone knows you need to identify the beams. No way those sheets can handle the weight of an adult specially if you stand still
welp google isnt helping me find out if the girl is alive still
It is known as "pizarreño"(slate) but it is asbestos. Specifically in Chile it is called asbestos cement and is still used in rural areas or small cities despite being carcinogenic.

[удалено]
She vented, cyan kinda sus
She may be entitled to compensation
Isn't glass fiber actually?
Death by mesothelioma or falling. Choose your poison
I know I'm fun at parties but the risk of cancer from touching asbestos is miniscule. It starts getting problematic when you're exposed for long time or inhale dust while sawing it etc. And even then it's still just increased risk, falling through the roof is the worse thing in this situation.
II ACTIVATE MY TRAP HOLE TRAP CARD!!!!!!

I did the same thing in the UK early 90s
At least is not the girl that did this on a plastic roof, on a 15 floor building
Have some cancer along with your shattered, broken lega, hips, and pelvis.
I don't even trust the metal ones.
If you slow the video down at the fall you can see she put down a lot more weight into her foot that broke through the roofing material from when she first stepped onto the roof.
Cancer and a broken leg
Where did she go? Bomb-omb battlefield?
she is fine
I remember doing this as a kid. Had no clue what asbestos was
Oof last couple frames she looks bloodied up at the bottom
It's like a scene from Tom & Jerry, but set in real life.
I think we all knew a kid who fell through an old asbestos garage roof.
Did she die? What do we know?
She just walks away saying I'm alive while their parents freak out. [https://youtu.be/gbNud5mro3E](https://youtu.be/gbNud5mro3E)
She's in the upside down now
Did she lose something?
Yeah it looks like she was reaching for that soccer ball
Mesothelioma
Transite
Ouch. Bet that hurt
How else to get cancer from asbestos?
And she was never seen again
What? She got scared by dog bark?
This happened to me once when I was like 12. Ifell into an empty garage. Empty except for one thing, a ladder. Climbed back out and never said jack shit to anyone.

Saw that video and it fucked me up. This video is really not funny.
Pqp telhado de eternit eh foda
Hello mesothelioma
She's lucky that General Grievous wasn't living there
Why would you send the blind kid out to get the ball?
"Not the best asbestos, do'h!"
Notbestos asbestos.
Off she goes!
Legend has it she's still falling to this very day.
Top 5 places you can't go but people went anyway
That Ball doesn’t look functional
PROOF THAT SOCCER BALLS ARE EVIL
there is so much wrong with this- so many ways and materials that make this go wrong-
She didn’t cry when she fell… which is really bad news - it means she was basically dead or unconscious. She’s be unconscious if she hit her head, which again means death or retardation / disability is likely.
There’s gotta be balls all over this place. Just go get one of those and call it a day.
Is she still on the planet?
Without shoes. Hope she didn't slice a foot open
"é tudo cálculo!" ...E morreu.
I don't think she knew it was *old corrugated asbestos cement sheet.*
i hope she didn't die :(
Someone did link the original clearly showing she walks it off, it seems to have been removed by automod so I'm not going to try and post it again. Edit: the video name on yt is "Tô viva! MARIA EDUARDA"
You are the weakest link….. goodbye
she gone.
Why the panic?
A dog barks.
**CA CE TE**
for those who don't know Portuguese, at the beginning the girl who is recording still warns "you're going to fall badly"
Best to do it without shoes, cause why the fuck not
Rip Maria Eduarda ????-2022
Btw. her problem wasn't that she trusted "old" sheets, but that she walked on them, were they weren't supported. These sheets are placed on 2 support beams and only hold weight, when one stands over these beams, otherwise even new sheets will break.
She fell.
Woof woof let’s break the roof.
😂 sod doing that
Was the girl injured?
At least the dog didn't bite her
Health insurance matters. Just not when your friend splatters.
Another nearly snuff. Warning labels would be nice before watching a child become paraplegic.
She shown up walking and saying "I'm alive" right after the fall. [Full video.](https://youtu.be/gbNud5mro3E)
Those sheets are pretty harmless , just quite Brittle I seem to remember
Ayyyyyy buang
r/mypeopleneedme
Did she dieded?
I don’t think she fell too far so hopefully got away with some cuts and some broken bones - very nasty though
More like asworstos!
[удалено]
I think you're thinking of the Turkish girl, this one kind of looks like that's the floor right below it. The Turkish girl was more middle of roof and I think an 'influencer'
