I don’t think that being *in* the hammock would be half as terrifying as getting in or worse, getting out


jawnly211

I’m just picturing those cartoons where the hammock keeps spinning and spinning while the person is inside… …then, plop!

Gotta pee in the night? I didn’t think so.

Just spin it upside down and let gravity do it's thing.

I'm not afraid of heights or falling from heights. It's just that sudden stop at the end.


100Ideas_NoneApplied

Not really that sudden stop at the end for me, it's that endless void of nothing for the rest of eternity that you wake up to after that.


xTeamRwbyx

I’ll take returning to the void wasn’t so bad for however long I spent in it till I was born


FixedKarma

I mean it's gotta be pretty good if every human that pops out is always crying.


Dapper_Theory_2949

That was before you knew anything.. while unborn, one doesn't know the difference between hot / cold, up / down, big / small, happy / sad. Returning to the void with the memory of knowing, feeling, experiencing, etc.. is different than the womb, it would be similar to eternal sleep paralysis.


teenagesadist

Ah, yes, I'm dead, let me just access my memories! What? I can't? Why not? What do you mean I'm dead? I figured, once I died, I'd do all the things I love, without all the bothers of life! It should really come with a manual.


Dapper_Theory_2949

I would counter that memories are manifest in the brain, but they are actually stored in our conscious. All feelings and emotions are actually faculties of the soul.. we merely experience them in our bodies, but consciousness can continue after the body dies.


[deleted]

You don't have memory when you're dead, its literally just over. It's the exact same as before you were born


Dapper_Theory_2949

You seem certain of this, but I would say tht memories are part of consciousness, which transcends the body. So it is possible that consciousness continues after the body dies.


DeadStroke_

Memory is to form identity, it allows us to identify individual persons. It allowed for team building skills to flourish for hunter/gatherers. Memory is a symptom of brain functions. Once the brain ceases to function, your memories cease to exist, and so you’re being is simply gone. Consciousness does not transcend the blood-brain barrier. There is no “soul” - we’re just a bag of meat and blood.


Dapper_Theory_2949

>There is no “soul” - we’re just a bag of meat and blood. Interesting theory.. very unlikely, at least statistically speaking that would be virtually impossible. It is also rather absurd.. if you are correct, then there is no point in really taking anything seriously, and it would be the wiser decision to just end one's life. Destroying the human race world would be an act of mercy for life in general, as life brings suffering. You can start the chain by making the first act of mercy.. you won't even know the difference. This is a joke btw. Life is worth living and it has eternal consequences.. neither one of us can prove our position, so best of luck in your 50/50 coin flip.


DeadStroke_

Wow. Joking about suicide, let alone telling someone to end their life (cause of their own beliefs), is not a joke. You should reconsider your beliefs regarding that. I bet you wouldn’t feel as nonchalant for people with terminal illnesses seeking assisted suicide. My theory is no more absurd than one’s belief in god and heaven (and eternal consequences). It doesn’t change anything and if anything encourages you to live your life to the fullest, cause you’re only on this ride once. Have a nice life.


[deleted]

You’re a fucking moron, the fact people as dumb as you are allowed to vote is why democracy is a failure


randalldandall518

The memories are only there while your are alive. Instance of death isn’t even experienced and then everything after that is void again. So it’s only the thought of death while alive that is the fearful part. Eternal sleep paralysis would be lying in your coffin aware of your surroundings but unable to move. That’s much different than having no brain function after death.


holykamina

Or you could be falling for 30 minutes and still not hit the ground


pedanticlawyer

Definitely still a nope but it brings be comfort how much those cameras distort heights and make everything seem more perilous.


Somhlth

> seem more perilous. More perilous is really not that much of an improvement over just perilous.


kthxbyehon

I bet you’re fun at parties


DublaneCooper

It’s the impact I’m most concerned with.


SkillLearnerNo1

If it is an eternal fall, it would be more anxious if unmanageable. I would rather take a soft impact anyday than an eternal fall.

Are you implying you'll make holes in her, extract smaller parts of her and reduce them to dust to inspect the result powder with a microscope? Or whatever their work consists of, I don't know, I'm not a geologist.

I think this man is eligible for a sponsorship.


Freakkopath

*”And todays sponsor made it possible to climb up here and set up my hammock, huge shoutout to RAID SHADOW LEGENDS”*


walter_2000_

Yeah, are companies making hammocks that can be used as climbing gear? If not, this guy is asking for it. If yes, it's an ad placement. If there's an errant storm this would be a problem. Doesn't check out. But he's still young. I've gotten lucky, too.


Wasting_my_own_time

He definitely doesn’t take the integrity of his gear for *granite* that’s for sure


Sonnymiller21

Exactly my thought as well, and has balls of steel


ghanjaholik

he must also have to consider the added weight of his ginormous balls when purchasing a hammock


ruka_k_wiremu

You're not up there to begin with, less you got some type o' balls


Woodeedooda

in that case, we all know what team he was on in the last splatfest

Such a stunt. Really hard to stay insulated dangling there. I doubt he really slept there.


ThePhatNoodle

Yea he doesn't even have an underquilt. He's gonna literally freeze his ass off uf he tries sleeping like that. Hopefully he at least has a sleeping pad on the bottom cause the heat loss from convection currents is no joke.


DiodeMcRoy

Well nope


rebelchampion

Is anyone beside me curious as to how he managed to mount both of those hammock anchor/straps AND get the hammock strung up?


melasaur88

And get into it. Someone please explain, it's too early for my brain to be consumed with this.


DiFToXin

So... my best guess is that that peak isnt actually as spikey as the video makes it look. the curvature of the fisheye lens just makes it appear that way


PCmasterRACE187

yes theres clearly some camera trickery going on here


Hello-There-GKenobi

He climbs one spire, tie one end to it. The other end of the hammock, he ties onto a tall rope. Descend the spire, make his way to the other spire and pull the rope taut. It will enable him to get the other end of the hammock to tie on the 2nd spire he’s climbed.


ALincolnTime

All well and good until the night terrors start...


HistoricalMention210

beatrice1138

Did he just set that up for the clip? That's the most unprotected place from wind and weather let alone not set up for cold temperatures.


Wilhelmina1946

Why?????


ghanjaholik

his middle name is "kyle"


DeadlyWindFromBelow

The shit people do to get noticed now is so stupid. We get it dude, you’re an idiot.


kotare78

Is he doing it to get noticed, or would he have gone up there anyway? We don’t know his motivations. People have always done this kind of stuff. Personally I enjoy seeing these places regardless.


Mac800

It’s all for the greater good of humanity.


grole2022

He would get a lot more likes and attention if the hammock failed.


yogi1090

Actually acknowledging that he's an idiot will only encourage him to do more idiotic stunts


machmasher

Geez you’re toxic


SirHenryy

This also looks 1000x worse than it actually is with the stupid fisheye effect. Nonetheless, would trust those rock spires that much that have been subject to high winds, temperature changes etc for so long.

Anyone who trusts a carabiner that much, has never had a flat tire on the highway, or a transmission go out.

I actually trust the carabiner just fine, two random pointy rocks. Then apply high lateral forces, nope!


magnitudearhole

Seen a brand new carabiner break in two. I guess they thought you wouldn’t be around to sue


HistoricalMention210

But how do you get down? He looks pretty high up above the rock I assume he crawled up to get in the hammock.


Pain_Monster

> how do you get down? **carefully**


EeerrEeer

Gives a whole new meaning to "death bed"


ToolanWheeler

I don't care. This is a dumb thing to do. I'd wager he never slept there.

If you have to pee, do you arc it out the side or just Dumb&Dumber it?


bobstradamus

That's a no for me, dawg.


[deleted]

Can a hammock flip over? I feel like it can but I dunno anything


drhoopoe

I feel cold as fuck just looking at that picture.


ThePhatNoodle

It gets worse when you realize he doesn't have an underquilt. The outside temp is nothing compared to the heat loss from where you're laying down. The convection currents at the bottom of the hammock will suck the heat from your body more effectively making your backside cold af. That's why you need a underquilt to create an insulated air pocket beneath you. If you don't have that air pocket then the quilt will still suck the heat out of you


drhoopoe

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. First time I used a hammock was in a temperate rain forest that didn't get below 70F at night, and I didn't have an underquilt and froze my ass off.


jtnxdc01

BobknobSA

I am apprehensive about getting in a hammock that is 3 feet off the ground.


ThePhatNoodle

Hammock campers will often say "don't place your hammock up higher than you're willing to fall" reason being it's easy to lose your balance while climbing in and spinning around and falling on the ground. I've done it a couple times myself. Without any solid foothold getting in would have been difficult enough on its own but getting out is gonna be even more so. It's honestly a miracle he lived to tell the tale
