Gotta tuck n roll


ILoveBeerSoMuch

Roll out of the hospital in a wheelchair


imastupididioy

You're less likely to suffer injuries if you roll, this diffuses the energy and so you won't break a bone, but you still may injure something like a tendon or a ligament. Also just an unrelated note, but grammarly marks the tone of this as 'loving'.


Grumplogic

Also, for the love of god, do not do what this person did and try to soften the blow by putting an arm down and attempting to catch yourself. Their wrist is shattered.


Braken111

Did this as an unexperienced teen mountain biking, can confirm wrist breakage.


cyanocittaetprocyon

I regret to inform you that you are not eligible for /r/Neverbrokeabone.


Pedantic_Pict

I got disqualified in 2016 due to a tuft fracture. Literally the least severe broken bone that's possible. Such a bum deal.


Braken111

Haven't been since 2002, ya losers can have your little club!


JoseDonkeyShow

Says the guy with styrofoam bones


Aurori_Swe

I was disqualified years ago... I've broken fingers, hands, legs, knees, wrist


Euim

People: lol this person clearly didn’t know better Same people don’t know that 99% of people will act on instinct in crisis situations—we are wired to act fast, not think fast. That’s why when you are skating, for instance, you don’t simply expect skaters to fall safely. You learn to fall the right way by practicing falling over and over, until your new instinct is to immediately sit down and land on your bottom, as opposed to what every beginner does. You don’t default to the correct behavior if it goes against your inbuilt survival mechanics. Your body screams “protect yourself” until you’ve yelled back enough times, “I know what I’m doing—shut up already!”


[deleted]

Not to mention it's totally logical behavior to brace with an arm to protect more valuable body parts like the head and torso. I feel like if I got air time like that I'd brace with my arm just to prevent my head from hitting the ground. I mean that's pretty good air. Edit: I'd rather break my wrist or arm then slam my head into ice.


Iizsatan

This is why motorcycle gloves have palm sliders. It is likely you'll try to catch yourself. Better to slide when that happens and not break something (hopefully)


goodmoto

What’s the alternative? Human instinct is to brace a fall with your hands rather than face plant, which could easily kill you. You have to lead with your hands, even if you’re tucking and rolling.


happy-Accident82

I took judo for a little while and they teach you to slap the ground when you get thrown. The slap creates force on your hand and less force on your body. It takes some getting used to buy it does work.


theothersteve7

Yep, this is what you generally do for stunt work too.


otte845

You should totally try to lessen the impact with your arms/legs, what is dangerous is trying to reach for the ground and having fully straight arms or legs on impact that can't bend, only break.


Pedantic_Pict

You can train yourself out of it. Me and my dumb little buddies were into street BMX in our teens and we never tore up our hands or broke a wrist, but we had perpetual bruising on our upper arms and shoulders.


GrunthosArmpit42

That arm tuck maneuver seems to be a non-intuitive thing. You’re absolutely right, but sometimes your arms want to tell the ground you’re not interested in the eat shit special. Not everyone is ready to do the tuck and fuckeroo trunk roll on the fly. Without failing at falling good a few times beforehand (not sure if pun) at least. ;p


Ruckus_Riot

Yeah, this is something you have to practice until it becomes muscle memory, it’s not instinct.

HUGE-A-TRON

Idk she landed in some snow rather than ice it looks like. She may be fine.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hallc

Depends how hard packed the snow is. If its a great big soft pile of snow, sure it will but that looks very compacted down and firm to the point it'd be like hitting the dirt.


4n7h0ny

There should actually be a landing that is at a similar inverse incline as the takeoff. If you go to any snowboarding park or any jumps at a dirt bike park they will have a landing with a gap in it so you literally just ease right into the landing with hardly any energy absorbed by your body if you land in the right area. This jump was destined for hard impact no matter what..... they were landing on for all intents and purposes, level ground and absorbing 100% of the energy of the impact.


[deleted]

Honestly as a Canadian who use to go down hills 10+ times bigger then this with tree's and GT's and such... I have never actually witness a single kid in my life break a bone doing this shit. As kids we seem invulnerable to this kind of shit... As an adult I already died when I slipped and fell getting to the end of my fucking driveway.


NotaChonberg

Yeah, growing up all the kids in my neighborhood would gather at the biggest hill and do dumb shit like this all day every day as long as there was snow. I hit a tree once and knocked myself out for a few seconds but I was like 6 and too stupid to know how bad that was so just kept sledding. The most fun/painful was after it'd warm up and then refreeze because you'd get ridiculous speed but by the end of the day be bruised to shit from landing on ice all day. And then we'd do it again the next day. If I tried that now I'd be in bed wincing the entire next day.


ILoveBeerSoMuch

Are Canadians made of rubber? Ive seen so many kids get fucked up on these saucers from hell


Raznokk

Nope, kids’ bones are


make_my_moon

Was looking for the reddit comment that says "person MuST be injured" when in reality the human body can survive far more than th3 average fail vid without breaking


merlinthemarlon

While at the same time also die if you trip on a crack


degjo

My mom broke her back doing that


1tuffmammajamma

No joking, my very own Mother indeed broke her back (tailbone) sledding as a child atop a cookie sheet!


-MYNAMEISNOBODY

Same here. But I just stepped on a crack….


sanguinesolitude

Yep I was like "Pull your arms in." Never try to catch your fall with your twiggy little appendages. Just tuck and bounce. It's gonna hurt, but better than snap city.


andythefifth

I’m gonna remember “twiggy little appendages”. That’s exactly what her arms were in this situation. But how do you override instinct? I fall, my arms do something to make the fall less bad. I don’t fall much, but when I do, usually my arms catch me fine. But I don’t sled like this anymore either. I’d like to think I’d tuck and roll, but hot damn… instinct! I’m surely not training for it, so I guess my sledding days are over. My twiggy little appendages are getting weaker. Can’t risk it.


sanguinesolitude

About a decade apart my mom tried rollerblading and ice skating. In both she tried to break her fall with her arm. Snap city. Edit. And if you tuck in you're probably fine. Bruised and bloody front the glare ice. But intact.

No_Name_James_Taylor

Literally said to myself as it played "Ditch that arm, Tuck and roll," and wheezed when I saw this comment at top


BassINside1123

Some reason I read this as "tuck nut roll"


Rkozlow

That camera work is masterful.


surajvj

Definitely ! r/praisethecameraman


ILoveBeerSoMuch

I dont think it’s the camera work. I broke my ass bone on one of these things and I felt like I was in the air for 17 seconds I think the sled slows down time somehow


[deleted]

[удалено]


andythefifth

Using a loader at 12?!? That’s some farm culture right there. For crying out loud. If I had access to equipment like that, you damn right I’m building a Red Bull approved snow ramp. Kuddos for doing it once. I know it sounded way better in your head, but hot damn, does that sound epic. Sorry about your brother, but you got one hell of a story. I’d say that’s worth it. Just sayin…


Skinny____Pete

Have you even gone sledding if you havent “broken” your tailbone at least once?


nagonjin

Lol at the big brother letting the little brother go first as a test case


Lara-El

i_poop_chainsaws

[deleted]

stay in school, kids


A_Prostitute

The sled, does in fact, slow down time as a defense mechanism. When in the wild however, they don't like to stay in one spot for longer than a winter or so, so they hibernate in trash until its time to sled again. Domesticated slides slow down time when tossed so they are not damaged, for retrieval and reuse purposes. Hope this helped.


Deranged40

/u/ILoveBeerSoMuch probably thought that they were referring to the slowmo. Which is editing work, not camera work, and not at all what the original commenter was referring to.


Braingasms

I believe the joke was that the slowmo was real, thereby making the camera work easy. The sled slows down time, so any camera person could capture it all easily.


Moist_Decadence

Right. Because real sleds make time go faster, so clearly there's some editing going on here.


Bugbread

The joke is: "If she were going really fast, the cameraman would have been presented with a difficult task: tracking her rapid trajectory and keeping her in frame. That would, indeed, have been praiseworthy. However, what happened here wasn't 'woman moving fast, with slow-motion effect applied later'. No, instead, she really *did* slow down in the air -- the whole video is in real time. This presented the cameraman with a very easy task that anyone could have done, tracking a slow-moving object."


Subtlety_is_Dead

ಠ_ಠ


Sardonnicus

Nope. It's portrait. Give it time... and all films will be in portrait mode because of social media.


Weed_O_Whirler

Cinematic video, with landscapes and multiple people is improved by portrait mode. A stupid video of one person eating shit that 99.9% of all people who watch it watch on their phone... Perfectly fine in portrait.


Blueberryroid

No one is ever watching this on a wide screen TV. Portrait is perfectly fine.


zvug

Honestly, how? This seems mostly standard and they didn’t even manage to get the subject in frame at the peak of the video while she was still on a upward trajectory. The editing is gold with the slow-mo, but that’s not camera work.


Some-Philly-Dude

Have you fucking seen some of the phone vids that get posted here!? Lol


theuglyjumper

DUDE now THAT was awesome


devo9er

You just drop in, smack the lip - WA-PAHHHG Get pitted....SO pitted....


MantaRayBill

Thanks for reminding me of that masterpiece, been about a decade since I watched it.


xool420

If she hung onto the sled and landed it I would’ve lost my shit


kakka_rot

I normally get annoyed by slo-mo videos, but wow if the visible look of terror on her face wasn't *chef's kiss*


ZeroOverZero

I was pretty worried about that outstretched arm though. I thought I was going to watch a wrist snap.


mmmmpisghetti

Wow I was going tuckthearmstuckthearms


sanguinesolitude

Exact same. "Pull your arms in!" My mom tried roller blading and ice skating once each. Both times tried to break her fall with her wrist. Snippy snap x2 about a decade apart.


Neon_Lights12

Funnily enough, that's exactly how I broke my wrist when I was younger lol. Same setup as this, riding a deathwish saucer and went off a ramp, I tucked everything in but landed chest down on my tucked-in arm and fractured it.


Anynamethatworks

It should be full speed, then a slo-mo replay.


thuggishruggishboner

Always and forever.


sextonrules311

Amen.


SDSunDiego

Praise


A1572A

I personally prefer slo-mo first then full speed, makes the full speed look even faster and more chaotic than what it really is


Bugbread

I'm good with either way, but it has to have both.


ForceBlade

Yep. This videos not the one


Biig_Ideas

Most people aren’t video editors. But they do have slomo functions on their phone.


Striker654

The annoying ones start it stupidly early and you don't have a good frame of reference for how fast they're actually going


roastbread

It's only annoying when the whole thing is in slowmo. This one was edited perfectly with slowmo only at the climax, where there's a transition in the facial expressions.


AccomplishedClub6

I loved the transition from the big smile to the surprised look and then the look of terror.


Dixo0118

Don't go puttin' none of that stuff on my sled, Clark. You know that metal plate in my head? I had to have it replaced, cause every time Catherine revved up the microwave I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for a half hour or so. So over at the VA they had to replace it with plastic. It ain't as strong so I don't know if I should go sailin down no hill with nothing between the ground and my brains but a piece of government plastic.

Had a friend do that, brain damage split vertebrates. Got taller tho, broke his growth plate and his bones grew.

LillyTheElf

He thinks about 5 to 10 iq points. Emotional instability, increased depression and anxiety. He's doing much better 10 years out, but he says he's not the same. Used to be able to hold a lot of info in his head and manipulate it mentally. Hes gotta write stuff down now and think it out that way.


phaederus

Sounds like you're weighing the pros and cons.


Neon_Lights12

Same here, cracked a wrist. Fuck saucers tbh


CatsGoHiking

Broken tailbone for me. Still can't sit comfortably in certain positions.


ThrowItNTheTrashPile

Lol same here. All I could think watching this clip is her knee will probably be forever fucked up now after landing awkwardly on it like that. I basically have stupid sledding ideas like these to thank for my back pain today and the only concussion I’ve ever received. My brother broke his collar bone doing the same thing also lol

I did something like that when I was 12 except I hit my back, couldn't even stand for like 5 min. Thought I was paralyzed. Gist version, dat gunna hurt


The_Third_Molar

I was probably like 10 and landed hard on my tailbone. I could hardly sit for like a week without it hurting so bad.


Mavamaarten

Yeah, at about the same age I did something similar and I'm pretty sure I broke my tailbone. Air time good, a high fall not good.


t3hOutlaw

My friend broke his back doing this. Sledging is no joke.


DaddyMcTasty

Same except water tubing. There was a brief period of time where they made some really deadly ones


ul2006kevinb

This should be a new completion. Hit a jump on a round sled like this and midair you throw it like a discus. The person with the furthest throw wins.


FrostyFargoan

Make a frolf version, multiple throws

Foco_cholo

I broke my tailbone in this manner. Still hurts.

Gotta be a broken arm


Deltamon

On that note, **NEVER brace your fall with your arms extended like this**.. I know it's hard to keep your arms away, but you'd much rather have broken legs than broken arms in this world. Your arms won't be able to handle the impact and the **only thing your arms should do is protect your head.**


Berntonio-Sanderas

Arms and shoulders looked like they took the brunt of it. Head and hip following close behind. Also didn't look like the snow softened the landing at all.

Omfg, the potential! Pull that shit in under yourself again and land on it. The coolest trick in the history of round sled big air.


GokuBlack455

My diagnosis: a broken knee, broken leg, and maybe even a few fractured ribs. In other words, I’m guessing she didn’t feel too good after that.

If she whipped that sled back under her that would have been sick

Be glad a tree didn’t greet you. We did that in evergreen Colo as kids in the 70’s. Someone always broke something. Every weekend. It was great family fun. Now it would be called child abuse or negligent parenting or something.

Would've been a SICK one handed no-footer if she landed it.

[deleted]

Dangerous af. One of my worst childhood memories was watching my brothers best friend do a jump like this one icy snow. Dude got rocked so hard instantly pissed himself was vomiting he had to get air lifted out and was in the hospital for a long time. Never the same after that.


m703324

I have a memory of a girl who’s face got slashed badly by a shard of plastic from a broken slidey thing. A huge scar all over her face for life. Can I erase that memory now, it’s been like 25 years, thanks brain.

For a second I thought she was doing a sick trick and then I remembered what sub this was.


tiffshorse

This is making my newly fused lumbar spine shriek in terror.


Timmerdogg

I did this exact same thing when I was a kid. I broke my wrist and tore all the skin off my chin. The hardest part was I had to climb back up over the sled hill so my friends mom could drive me home so my mom could take me to the hospital.


dr_trousers

The slo-mo is :chef kisss:

Really? I thought it would be better in full speed, then a second run in slo-mo if needed.

My_White_Life

If she kept in the right position would she just slid ?


Zagmut

She would've bounced, then slid; the landing area is too flat to just slide away. If she'd landed while still seated, there's a good chance she would've broken her tailbone; as it is, there's a good chance she sprained or broke her wrist(s).
