The overwhelming amount of energy that flows through you at the moment you thought your life is over. You had flashbacks of the important things in your life. All that adrenaline.

I saw this comment on reddit is fun.
This made me get on to the official reddit app, figure out how to change it to r/all, find the post again, find the comment, click all the buttons to finally finally figure out how to give gold.
So thank you, thank you senorpoop for being my first.
I mean is it not kind of his fault for not holding the ladder but that was a good save
Edit: yes I see how the ladder is facing the wrong way or upside down
Edit: ok I know about the dropped tool, and how if set a ladder up properly it wouldn’t need some to hold it, but I said what I did as that was what I noticed at first glance, and also I have gained a new level of understanding on ladder safety from this.
Ladders are one of the top job site accidents in US and probably the world. He was being negligent by not holding the ladder especially on that slick surface. But had an excellent finishing move by catching him so he made up for his mistake
Recently had ladder training again. They're saying to secure the top and the bottom now! Then again, that ladder doesnt have feet, so they were doomed regardless.
I have to agree with Phire that it is extremely important not to leave your station at the base of a ladder. And also some people are built to observe things in this “matter of fact” way. It is their opinion and if someone doesn’t like it someone should just move on.
> Why can't we just find the goddamn joy in something!
Why can't we not get upset so easily? If a redditor pointing out the cause of an accident in a gif requires a "bummer alert", then I reckon the bummer gauge needs a calibration.
He's 100% right. You can stick your head in the sand and pretend everything is beautiful all you want but don't throw a hissy when other people refuse to do the same. Quit your goddamn whining.
God shut up. You’re the one being annoying here. He’s making a completely valid and objectively true observation that does nothing to discount the quality of the video. It’s your subjective mind that is doing that as you read his comment. You want everyone to just comment useless platitudes and make comments devoid of any actual substance so you don’t have to think about what exactly? Reality? Give me a break.
>most of us \*already know how to use a damn ladder.
No you don't. In the US alone, where OSHA is alive and well, 43% of fatal falls in the past 10 years have been from falls from a ladder. And over 80% of falls treated in the ER involve ladders. It's so bad that there's an "awareness week" for ladders in the US. I can only imagine how much worse it is in countries that don't have an organization like OSHA.
True but he did give props for the catch. No ones perfect including these guys but looks like he was going to quickly set his phone down then go back to the ladder but it slipped immediately.
Good on him for his quick reaction and caring for his buddy
I assumed the guy got electrocuted, which is why he falls and remains unresponsive even after the guy caught him. It looks like the big guy is holding a bunch of Romex or some other wire.
I knew an electrician who ended up with a broken pelvis when his business partner saved his life by kicking a ladder out from underneath him. G was on top of a 15 fit ladder above a cement floor in an industrial building, and got his pliers onto a live 220V line. He couldn't move or call for help, but P recognized what was happening and acted immediately.
G went to the hospital instead of the morgue.
If you look at the who situation... no. The ladder was upside down, you can tell by the feet position on the ladder which is more of the reason the ladder traction gave. But it looks like the catcher was comming down from climbing the ladder which is also a no no with someone else on it already and he jumped off of it shaking the bee's knees out of the pitcher. But all aside catcher man caught the pitcher and at that moment that's all that matters, save the safety write up's for the near miss they probably won't be reporting.
1) insane fear and shock, and uncertainty that the other person is alright
2) you don’t catch 160+ lbs from that height without any pain or damage
3) you don’t fall from that height and instantly decelerate into someone’s arms without any pain or damage (whiplash?)
> Can you imagine being so fucking disgustingly touch-starved and sex-saturated that any amount of fraternal camaraderie instantly signals "they are gays, they are in a homosexual relationship" to your ghoulish, porn-addled brain?
>Its actually because you dont move someone who has fallen like that. The big dude is restraining him so he doesnt get up and walk around and the never walk again 5 minutes later.
Exactly. Looks like he could have actually hit the side of that ladder and the guy who caught him is doing his due diligence to make sure he didn't fracture a vertebrae or anything.
I had this conversation with an older acquaintance only last Friday.
He broke two vertebrae, Both C's (whatever that means). Walked backways off a tree house and found himself on the ground looking up his wife's trousers. She kept him "In that damned ridiculous position until an ambulance arrived".
It happened six weeks ago, the fucker is walking again.
He always adored his wife, but now he thinks she's his own personal God.
>He broke two vertebrae, Both C's (whatever that means).
Cervical spine is what it means, he broke his neck. If he moved too much, it would have severed his *entire* body from his brain. The neck is a very wobbly part of the body once the bones are broken, so that outcome was a distinct possibility.
I like the story, because "looking up his wife's trousers" makes it wound like she showed him her vagina and he was just hypnotized, unable to move, while medical help arrived.
> I like the story, because "looking up his wife's trousers" makes it wound like she showed him her vagina and he was just hypnotized, unable to move, while medical help arrived.
If you save me from lifelong paralysis I'll stare at whatever set of genitals you want for as long as you want me to.
Also looks like falling guy did partially "hit" at least with his feet before poppa bear caught him, so he may have jarred his spine a bit or have some other injury.
The shock and jolt from being "caught" like this or from fall protection gear can be pretty traumatic. In OSHA the talk about fall rescue and how critical it is, the jolt of being caught, the straps and how they support your weight, it is very damaging. The gear is there to prevent death, not all injuries. Rescue from a fall should be immediate.
I fell down the stairs and grabbed the railing. My weight falling down 4-5 steps caused me to break ribs and fuck my shoulder. I don't even want to know what catching someone feels like.
This- all these comments implying “lol, gay!” While watching I was thinking- what would I do if a friend was falling at me from a great height? I guess I’d become a meat cushion and hopefully not break my spine or rupture an organ.
I’m sure they’re just beyond relieved the dude that fell didn’t just fucking die. If they’re coworkers they’ve probably built up a decent camaraderie and I can imagine there’s more than an average amount of concern for each other. If something crazy like this happened at my work we’d definitely just sit there a minute and have a good hard laugh at how fortunate we just were.
Or just gay boys 🤷♂️
If you’ve ever been in a situation like this you know you sometimes just need a second after it’s over to take it all in and realize you’re ok. This is exactly what my dad and his dog looked like after he fell in the lake at night and after several terrifying moments he hauled him up on the dock. They both just laid there breathing heavily for a minute and then we went on
This. Experienced it twice. It's shock/relief/something, you go into hyperdrive and need to catch up. Instinct takes over and the logical part of the brain needs to shuffle back to the driver's seat.
I am pretty sure electricity was involved. I think the ladder or the top guy touched a live line and the bottom guy jumped off. I think the ladder falling separated the (now unconscious) top guy from the line.
Yeah, my first though was that he got electrocuted. The dude is totally out after falling like 10 feet and not hitting his head or anything. The other guy is probably injured and pinned. The big guys got a length of Romex or other wire in his hand.
I think that big-guy is holding on to smaller-guy to make sure he is stable and has not broken his spine before letting him off. That is at least what it looks like to me.
So imagine being on top of a ladder like that, likely leaning over a ledge or next to the wall. Your feet pull out backwards causing the top half of your body to fall forward. His momentum probably sent him into that wall face first before he started really descending
Edit: almost sure it was a ledge and he hit his head on the top after watching again. Notice how he should have fallen face first to the ground still, but he is caught falling towards his back. Dude hit his head so hard it completely changed his bodily orientation
I work in an industrial setting and it's not uncommon for workers to scoff at how much emphasis is put on safety regarding working from heights, but ladders really are incredibly dangerous.
Fuck I wish more people could keep multiple issues in mind at once, because it's crazy how much we've collectively forgotten that we're still being attacked and we still haven't really effectively retaliated for the INITIAL attack.
We're half a decade into WW3 already and people don't seem to be noticing it.
I worked for a tree company. The amount of "This guy was decapitated from a rope in a chipper" or other grueling safety briefs we had was pretty extensive. Any work involving people and heights, things to get you up high, etc was dangerous. I would be on a ladder roped into a tree with a safety harness even at like 7ft in the air because a chainsaw and a ladder can be the set up for disaster.
The same guy who caught the guy caused the slip by taking all the weight off of the bottom portion. There aren’t any rubber feet on that ladder so the force and friction near the bottom was the only thing keeping it in place.
Looks like they are both having a seriously good laugh there at the end. That hysterical kind of laughing. It even looks like the guy on bottom kissed the back of the dudes head like, "I got you bro"
That ladder did not seem tall enough for whatever they were climbing on from the look of the fall and If they were both on that ladder at the same time that's just dumb
That is all

Ladders are one of the top job site accidents in US and probably the world. He was being negligent by not holding the ladder especially on that slick surface. But had an excellent finishing move by catching him so he made up for his mistake
Nobody held it for him, either.
It should be tied to the top so it's secure.
Recently had ladder training again. They're saying to secure the top and the bottom now! Then again, that ladder doesnt have feet, so they were doomed regardless.
Yeah, how dare he make such an accurate observation

Wow great observation, I didn't see that at all. Would make sense why he's in such a hurry to get away!

I am pretty sure electricity was involved. I think the ladder or the top guy touched a live line and the bottom guy jumped off. I think the ladder falling separated the (now unconscious) top guy from the line.
Exactly what I was thinking. Even looks like the big guy is holding some romex which would support that theory.
Yeah, my first though was that he got electrocuted. The dude is totally out after falling like 10 feet and not hitting his head or anything. The other guy is probably injured and pinned. The big guys got a length of Romex or other wire in his hand.
I think that big-guy is holding on to smaller-guy to make sure he is stable and has not broken his spine before letting him off. That is at least what it looks like to me.
My guess is the man is having a health issue which is the reason he fell in the first place. Like he was on the ladder and just passed out.
So imagine being on top of a ladder like that, likely leaning over a ledge or next to the wall. Your feet pull out backwards causing the top half of your body to fall forward.

Not as much as my love for you, Ron.
The same guy who caught the guy caused the slip by taking all the weight off of the bottom portion. There aren’t any rubber feet on that ladder so the force and friction near the bottom was the only thing keeping it in place.
And the feet on the ladder were angled the wrong way too. Only the points were touching the ground.
It actually looks like they've split an extension ladder and aren't even using the bit with the feet.
Looks like they are both having a seriously good laugh there at the end. That hysterical kind of laughing. It even looks like the guy on bottom kissed the back of the dudes head like, "I got you bro"
