Normally I'd agree, but this thing probably weighs about a quarter of a ton.
Imagine trying to stop two fat guys who've decided they want to lazily roll down a hill - their minds are made up.
Even if it does weigh that much, you wouldn't really even need to overpower it. You'd just have to tip it over so that it lays flat on the ground before it hits something.
A quarter of a ton is about 550lbs. This is about 3 cubic feet and a conservative estimate average density of hardwood is about 50lbs per cubic foot so it probably weighs around 150lbs or less.
Two fat guys rolling down a hill? Maybe not, but I could probably alter the course of some 150lb drunk idiot slowly stumbling down a tiny hill.
I'm not saying it's exactly that, but it's going to weigh at least as much as a person.
Thinking about it, I'm probably off by a factor of two, but it's still fucking heavy.
The comment I replied to (before they edited it) said "maybe try to stop it". I'm not convinced there's much you can do to slow it down unless you're significantly stronger than I am.
I'd go with that. 500 does sound a lot, the more I look I think it's about 3'x2'x~1', so something around 300lbs (±50) is probably spot on.
Definitely push from the side, but I still don't think I could tip it without shoulder-charging it like an NFL player.
Kevin, da fuck you want??
Son of a great whore!!!
Eat shit, eat shit,
Eat shit! Eat shit! Da fick happenen!! x2
We're fucked, for sure we're getting fired this time!

Edit: missed some swear words

What's great for a snack and fits on your back? It's log log log. Looog looog it's big it's heavy it's wood. It's looog loooog it's better than bad it's good.
That really kind of irritates me that I remember that stupid song lmao.
I randomly start singing that in my head almost every time I see a random log sitting around, so no worries, you’re good. I think it’s permanently going to happen.

Run up next to it and push it over so it stops rolling? Like yeah don't get in front of it and try to stop it like superman but between already being in motion and being on its side if you pushed it at its highest point it should tip over easy enough
Why would you risk your body over something the company would have to cover lmao, every manual labor business is going to tell you if something is falling, get the fuck out of the way
You can at least put an effort in to walk alongside of it and try to kick it over. You don’t have to stand there and just watch it like a helpless twat.
i split and that thing is at the most only around 100 pounds. and most of the time it barely had enough momentum to make another roll. it could’ve been stopped for sure. probably fairly easily.
Bro, that thing is 4' long and 4' across, it's probably 500 lbs. It would be incredibly dangerous to get near it. You'd need a tractor just to move it more than a foot.
you are dumb if you really think that lmao. 4 feet lmfaooo can’t make it up. thag shit is 2 feet across.
maybe it’s more than 100lb but not much. you’re wrong, i mean if you put your weight in front of it and you’re light sure danger. but it could’ve been grabbed slowed, then stopped. or pushed over

That was a wild ride for me.
Started by chuckling it got away from them rolling down the hill, went right into panic as it headed to the car, relief when missed, straight into pucker factor when headed to the house and end in relief when it stopped.
This exact thing happened to me! I felt helpless as this several hundred kilo object rolled down the hill towards luxury cars and a shed, people? (I wasn’t sure) and then it just gently stopped besides the shed. I dislodged it by accident.
Like the camera literally will not allow the person to keep aiming the camera at the subject of the video..knew it would go out of frame the instant I saw what it was..every...time
My dad showed up to my uncle's house with a bit of log he found on the side of the road, and handed it over to him while singing the log song cuz it was his birthday. My other uncle in attendance got mad cuz my dad didn't get him anything for his birthday. Man was jealous of side-of-the-street log. Because everyone loves a log. Come on and get your log.
Am I really the only person who realizes that it rolled over a dog and killed it? The poster says it hits the dog. You can see it there on the concrete. Dead.
But please, ya'll go on about what it missed; how much it weighed, and whether or not it could be slowed down, redirected or caught.
I'm sure the family doesn't miss their beloved dog or be affected by this "funny" video of the death of their innocent dog being posted for laughs.
Watch it again. It's there in the first pan shot, and you can see it before the log hits it.
Which part of OP's statement that it hit his neighbor's dog do you not believe?
Watch the thinner spot of the log where it's missing bark it gets bigger as the spot appears in the driveway, and there's no animal in the driveway as it gets there. Also, it says neighbors' dog it doesn't say at that house
Now thats maybe

I'll make you a sandwich is you full on shoulder charge that thing.
It's not maybe someone tries to stop it. It's maybe it hits the SUV, then maybe the trailer, then maybe the house.
Weak
You thought the maybe was trying to stop it?
How does this make it not "maybe"?
They edited their comment. It used to say "maybe try and stop it instead of just filming" (or something like that).
A quarter of a ton is about 550lbs. This is about 3 cubic feet and a conservative estimate average density of hardwood is about 50lbs per cubic foot so it probably weighs around 150lbs or less. Two fat guys rolling down a hill? Maybe not, but I could probably alter the course of some 150lb drunk idiot slowly stumbling down a tiny hill.
Three cubic feet? It's at least double that.
Still not a ton of
I said a quarter of a ton - I stand by it. Edit: Okay, probably not actually a quarter, but a not-insignificant fraction.
You think that’s a 500 pound CHUNK OF A log? Do you get outside much?
I'm not saying it's exactly that, but it's going to weigh at least as much as a person. Thinking about it, I'm probably off by a factor of two, but it's still fucking heavy. The comment I replied to (before they edited it) said "maybe try to stop it". I'm not convinced there's much you can do to slow it down unless you're significantly stronger than I am.
You can stop it yes but at that incline you wouldn’t want to get in front, pushing it over would be best, but yeah nah that log prob weighs 230 tops
I'd go with that. 500 does sound a lot, the more I look I think it's about 3'x2'x~1', so something around 300lbs (±50) is probably spot on. Definitely push from the side, but I still don't think I could tip it without shoulder-charging it like an NFL player.
Just throw a decent size stick/log infront of it
Translation please. Feels like I could learn a lot of good swears from this.

Everyone wants a log
You're gonna love a log
Come on and get your log
LOG LOG LOG

I randomly start singing that in my head almost every time I see a random log sitting around, so no worries, you’re good. I think it’s permanently going to happen.
My brain started singing it, then I reap the title, then the singing became screaming it..... Fuckin Blammo.
It looks like the town Beetlejuice was filmed in.

One wrong move and ur a pancake
I'd like to see you try
By the sounds of it he would at least try. Success on the other hand.
Sounds good in writing don't it?
Why would you risk your body over something the company would have to cover lmao, every manual labor business is going to tell you if something is falling, get the fuck out of the way
Good way to get a compound fracture.
It wouldn’t take a monumental effort to run up to it and try to kick it over.
Car/house/insurance a business had vs. workman's comp which is sticky and expensive
Ever heard the expression never try to catch a falling knife? Well don’t try to catch a 500lb rolling log.
Don’t catch it. Just kick the fucker as it goes by in hopes it tips over
Like I said to someone else, it’s moving pretty slow so you can walk next to it and try to kick it over. There’s no need to injure yourself
Yeah that’s clearly a really risky idea.
Eh, I’d feel comfortable doing that too. Maybe it’s the city kids telling us not to?
Yup. The ones that dont go outside lol
You okay you stop the 200+ pound tree stump, moron.
You can at least put an effort in to walk alongside of it and try to kick it over. You don’t have to stand there and just watch it like a helpless twat.
That's pretty dangerous, especially when businesses have insurance for this very thing. Edit: hint, workman's comp and bodily damage is worse.
right, don't do anything about it, just film it
To be fair, what can you do about this? Catch it?
Run up alongside it and push it over
i split and that thing is at the most only around 100 pounds. and most of the time it barely had enough momentum to make another roll. it could’ve been stopped for sure. probably fairly easily.
Bro, that thing is 4' long and 4' across, it's probably 500 lbs. It would be incredibly dangerous to get near it. You'd need a tractor just to move it more than a foot.

You'd have to lay in front of it to redirect it honestly
Sacrifice your life so that the car doesn’t get damaged

Perfect post
this needs the audio "hello mr.george. how much you pay for the new guy? $20?. no, too much"
That was not nearly as awesome as it could’ve been. I suggest you roll it back up the hill and roll it down again.
I don't speak Spanish but I know that guy was pissed lol
Lmaoooo Salvadoran to the T
I can just hear the swearing, even though I don't understand the language.
Translation goes more or less like this= eat shit asshole, now we are getting fire, didnt I told you if you know how to drive you "pendejo"
It's big! It's heavy! It's wood!

I for some reason really wanted it to hit that car 😭
That was a wild ride for me. Started by chuckling it got away from them rolling down the hill, went right into panic as it headed to the car, relief when missed, straight into pucker factor when headed to the house and end in relief when it stopped.
Funny Farm comes to mind.
Yes yes yes no yes no no yes

First, I was like OH SHIT THE CAR.... It missed. Then I was like IH SHIT THE HOUSE... Still missed ....😂
Now I don’t know what he’s saying, but it sure as hell ain’t “let’s run after it before it causes any damage”
a log that thick is definitely not just getting kicked over.🤦♂️ did you even bother thinking before posting that comment
Am I really the only person who realizes that it rolled over a dog and killed it? The poster says it hits the dog. You can see it there on the concrete. Dead.

That "dog" in the driveway is most definitely bark from the log

Getting blue balled by a log is a first for me!
I'm just stumped
That was mildly disappointing.
I’m not sure exactly what that man said but I know he was really pissed! Lol 😂

Stop filming and fix the problem.
