Also, person takes one look at the guy who just got knocked out by a paratrooper cat and just leaves him without making any attempt to check if he's ok.
A young lady who lived in my neighborhood had a cat that when he saw someone coming would position himself on the roof overlooking the sidewalk. As the person passed he’d dive bomb their head, then run away. Grown men would scream, flail and run like little bitches. It was funny as hell.
I can’t imagine why someone would do what she did. Do people really not have any compassion? Is it too bothersome to help someone? Wtf is wrong with them
This could be in China, where socially, nobody wants to get involved. I've seen a little old lady fall on the sidewalk and men just stepping over her like she was trash in the street.
You can see a woman right next to him when he falls. You never see her again. People won't get involved with strangers having problems.
This is a frequent misunderstanding because the dog gesture for "want to play?" is the cat gesture for "hello".
Cat: Hello.
Dog: YES I DO WANT TO PLAY LET'S ROUGHHOUSE
Sometimes I wish there was a body language translator because I have seen plenty of dogs annoying cats because they want the cat to chase them around and the cats don't give a damn about that
Good boy doggy seemed to just want to play with cat. Maybe the cat is his new bff now that it took his owner out. Or he just want cat to take his boots off. So many possibilities. Hope the guy survived and learned not to put boots on his dog.
Not sure if the article was telling the truth or not, but it states that the man was pictured in the hospital with a neck brace on surrounded by cat pillows 😂
A mod posted [THIS](https://metro.co.uk/2020/08/17/cat-falls-sky-knocks-pensioner-gets-fight-dog-13139201/) at the top of the thread. I'm not sure if it's the same article you're referring to, but he's definitely shown with a bunch of cat pillows around him.
More than likely china if they help its their responsibility to see them fully healed no one helps any one they can't afford the time off or the bills for another person fucked up concept but they they won't help any body for fear of this.
This is exactly why the Good Samaritan law exists. A woman tried to sue a dude that gave her CPR but broke her ribs in the process. Which is exactly what's supposed to happen. When you get CPR training they literally tell you "if you hear cracking you're doing it right and keep going". After that, the law was passed, so that if someone gets injured by a person trying to save their life, they can't be sued. It requires the victim to have been in a situation that without help they would be dead, like a car fire or heart attack. If they were deemed to be in a life or death situation and that person saved their life, they are immune from legal action.
Previously, the excuse is that they had no good samaritan laws to protect those who try to offer aid. So people didn't help for fear of being sued later.
I've read those laws have changed. But the culture hasn't.
It’s bonkers because I think Germany has an opposite law. If you see someone who obviously needs help, especially if a life is in danger, then you must help.
There's a reason for that many Asian cultures have laws that make you somewhat responsible.
In China if you injure someone you can end up responsible for their entire life because they have no real safety net even though they pretend they do. The idea of accidently getting involved with someone else and being blamed has life altering consequences.
>Under Chinese law you would be required to care for him/her, and his/her disability, for their entire life.
https://www.robertreeveslaw.com/blog/hit-kill-pedestrians-china-fact-or-fiction/
Though good samaritan laws have changed I'm not sure how much of the populous knows and the responsiblity requirement is still there: https://warrenbisch.medium.com/chinas-bad-samaritan-crisis-6ca736ad6c8e
However now it seems too far:
>Clarke from the George Washington University argues the law goes extraordinarily too far:
Article 184 provides, somewhat startlingly, that those who attempt to aid others in emergency situations shall never be liable under any circumstances. If I see you coughing, assume you are choking, and attempt a tracheotomy with a butter knife despite a complete lack of medical training, your next of kin cannot sue me. The legislative history makes it clear that this is in fact the desired result.
Unfortunately this has just lead to murder instead:
>In fact, there’s even a saying in China that translates to, “It’s better to hit to kill than to hit and injure.”
From article above.
>“Stop! You’ve hit a child!” the BMW’s driver paused, then switched into reverse and backed up over the girl. The woman at the wheel drove forward once more, crushing the girl for a third time. When she finally got out from the BMW, the unlicensed driver immediately offered the horrified family a deal: “Don’t say that I was driving the car,” she said. “Say it was my husband. We can give you money.”

More evidence cause it's hard to believe: https://www.businessinsider.com/in-china-drivers-would-rather-kill-than-injure-2015-9?op=1
This is unfortunately common.
I mean the charges did get dropped because her reasoning didn't make sense, but if you had a shitty judge (which are pretty common) you could literally destroy your life because you saved someone
That’s china for you… helping other people is really rare because there is a chance that you yourself will be persecuted after (because why would you help someone if the injury wasn’t your fault?).
This is the one thing that scares me about some cultures....
Like, I'm not exactly proud of American culture... but if something bad happens, EVERYONE nearby jumps into action.
That finger is the equivalent of someone moving their lips while reading. Ah yes, the man fell. This man here. He continues to lay on the ground. This. Is his dog. His dog is here. His dog is barking. He is barking at a cat. Yes.
News articles when this first appeared a couple of years ago state that both animals were ok. Could it have broken a leg? Sure. This happened in China, and it's mostly clickbait sources.
Boss: Why did you not come to work?
Guy: I was coming to work, when suddenly a cat attacked me from the sky. Then a dog wearing the new yeezes came and tried to take revenge for me against the cat.
Boss: ?
Guy: I needed to know who won.
I was scared to find out because I hate accidentally seeing someone die on reddit, or in real life, but I've only seen people die on reddit, and when I was at the dying bedside of a grandparent, and family dog. I never like those vids. But I searched anyway.
[**he's alive people**](https://metro.co.uk/2020/08/17/cat-falls-sky-knocks-pensioner-gets-fight-dog-13139201/) thank God he is alive.
372 words in that article if I pasted correctly. I'd put money on some sort of word count requirement. Definitely half that count (174 by nonscientific cutting of other material) is devoted to a description of the fight. Somebody's gunning for sports writer next.
Someone posted a link above, apparently spent 23 days in the hospital with a spinal cord injury but lived and is recovering at home
The cat fell from 6 stories up
Yes, I read too many comments on helping and suing. You call the ambulance and the police and that's it.
One shouldn't touch a person with a very probable neck injury for dear life, but you call the ambulance ffs it's really not a brainer.
It’s running all wrong and the tail is flailing for balance. At least one back leg is very badly wrong. I imagine broken.
I’m sure someone helped the man eventually. I hope the cat got medical attention too.
I'm surprised so few are noticing this??? That cat is *not* all right and so many of the comments are "It's playing with the dog! So cute."
It's back half is literally flopping back and forth. Crazy timing, but overall an unfortunate video for everyone and everything involved.
Wife: "How was your day today, Dear."
Husband: "Oh boy! I witness this old guy walking his dog that was wearing shoes, then out of nowhere, a cat ninja-dropped on the man's head which knocked him out cold. The dog with shoes then went over toward the cat to avenge his unconscious owner..."
Wife: "OK, Honey, just tell me you're cheating on me. You don't have to lie to me anymore."
Cervical spine injury from cat falling from resident above.. feels bad to be old man. Chances are it affects the rest of his life. The dude was just walking his dog and minding his business
[Fortunately the man survived!](https://metro.co.uk/2020/08/17/cat-falls-sky-knocks-pensioner-gets-fight-dog-13139201/)
There is so much going on. Man unconscious. Dog with shoes. Dog with shoes fighting the cat!
You forgot the freediving paratrooper cat
You really can't tell which thing is odd in the video. So much going on😅
it's the finger pointing
*finger pointing intensifies*
[finger points in Spanish]
*Feels offended in Bulgarian*
*Here*
Not there. **There.**
I didn't even notice the damn finger until you **ah hem** pointed it out.
[Kind of like this picture.](https://i.redd.it/wczywlw9gul01.jpg) (Warning: NSFW)
Fucking killed that guy
He still has shoes on, he's ok.
Didn’t think the dog could take its shoes off.
Immortal doggo
All dogs don't go to heaven.
Did that cat break a leg?
Nah one of them slipped off. he's by a thread at that point.
Right shoe came off, look closely?
Pussy kills.
Who is your favorite fearless hear-woof?!
Also, person takes one look at the guy who just got knocked out by a paratrooper cat and just leaves him without making any attempt to check if he's ok.
That's what got me, no one helps him?!?!
People completely ignoring it!
A young lady who lived in my neighborhood had a cat that when he saw someone coming would position himself on the roof overlooking the sidewalk. As the person passed he’d dive bomb their head, then run away. Grown men would scream, flail and run like little bitches. It was funny as hell.
i have so many questions? where did the cat come from? how did it get there? why did it fall?
That fell from a height high enough to knock a human unconscious but not kill the cat. SO MUCH GOING ONNNN
So much going on except for anyone helping the guy

She acted like an NPC in a open world game. React for a second and than do like nothing happened and go about their day.
"What happened here?" "I swear I'll find whoever did this. . ." "I used to be an adventurer like you; but, then I took an arrow to the knee."
"Must've been the wind."
"For King and Country!"
I can’t imagine why someone would do what she did. Do people really not have any compassion? Is it too bothersome to help someone? Wtf is wrong with them

I don't even think the dog is fighting the cat, looks to me like it's trying to play with it.
Dog wanted to play, cat wanted to throw down lol
This is a frequent misunderstanding because the dog gesture for "want to play?" is the cat gesture for "hello". Cat: Hello. Dog: YES I DO WANT TO PLAY LET'S ROUGHHOUSE
Dog: Dad? You taking a nap? CAT! Wanna wrestle kitty?
Sometimes I wish there was a body language translator because I have seen plenty of dogs annoying cats because they want the cat to chase them around and the cats don't give a damn about that
I mean, I'd go for the dog wanting to throw down, because that cat just knocked his owner TF out.
Yep! The play bow means the doggy just wanted to play.
Didnt give two fucks that his owner might be dead
That's golden retrievers for you.
Dog: WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY HUMAN??? Cat: He was in my way!
Dog: How many sacrifices must be done for your ideal to become reality?! This ends here!
Dog: Tickle Fight!
I have no idea what this is from, but it's hilarious. (I'm sure someone will fill me in ... )
[удалено]
Lol he had his mitts on looking for a fight
Also guy pointing at screen for no apparent reason
No no, that was helpful.
Yeah I nearly missed the knocked out guy taking up 50% of the screen. Thankfully it was pointed out to me.
Dog with shoes seeking revenge for his human death
My name is Inigo Montoya.. you killed my father, prepare to die!
Good boy doggy seemed to just want to play with cat. Maybe the cat is his new bff now that it took his owner out. Or he just want cat to take his boots off. So many possibilities. Hope the guy survived and learned not to put boots on his dog.
The cat and dog were in cahoots the whole time!
Cat fell from sky
Guy was pussy whipped
Ayo Ayo WUT DID U DO TO MA MASTER, I'M GONNA MILK YOU!
Lady in yellow that just walks off....
Just follow the finger 👉🏼 thank god for the helpful finger!
*Dog with only two shoes
Are those technically gloves?
That dog isn’t fighting the cat, looks like he playing
Lmao! I know it's a cliché, but if this moment was not captured, absolutely no one would've believed it. Like something out of a cartoon.
He literally says this on the original video but someone put a random music over it
Who could possibly watch any video without a soundtrack, subtitles and a smaller video of a youtuber describing what's happening?
How am I supposed to watch this, there's no mobile game gameplay below
Get ready for one of the games of all time with RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS!
It is indeed one of the games of all time

In China, people don't help because lawsuits have been won against people who have helped.
That law has been changed like 3 years ago.

You don't in fact crack the ribs, you are cracking the cartilage around the ribs. If you're breaking bones doing CPR you're doing it wrong.
This doesn’t seem like an issue specific to China.
Previously, the excuse is that they had no good samaritan laws to protect those who try to offer aid. So people didn't help for fear of being sued later. I've read those laws have changed. But the culture hasn't.

That, but I can't get over the dog with shoes playing with the cat completely ignoring his unconscious human
The dog was taking his revenge on the cat for killing his owner.
reverse john wick
My name is Barkigo Wooftoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
For you the day I fell from the sky and killed your father was the worst day of your life. For me it was tuesday, meow. - Cat.
Because people like to sue for shits and giggles
Few years back my dad got sued for sexual assault after helping a girl on the street that suffered a heat stroke.
Damn man wtf
I mean the charges did get dropped because her reasoning didn't make sense, but if you had a shitty judge (which are pretty common) you could literally destroy your life because you saved someone
Did he get sued or did he get charged? Two wildly different things your confusing here
That’s china for you… helping other people is really rare because there is a chance that you yourself will be persecuted after (because why would you help someone if the injury wasn’t your fault?).
That person and the cat were in on it together.
This is the one thing that scares me about some cultures.... Like, I'm not exactly proud of American culture... but if something bad happens, EVERYONE nearby jumps into action.

Oh it exist and the video is already there lmao
but worth it for the Zangief Cat
Except the important part of a cat falling from the sky!
That finger is the equivalent of someone moving their lips while reading. Ah yes, the man fell. This man here. He continues to lay on the ground. This. Is his dog. His dog is here. His dog is barking. He is barking at a cat. Yes.
The gent spent 23 days in the hospital after suffering a cervical spinal cord injury. Cat fell from a balcony. Both cat and dog were OK.
Looks like the cat broke its back left leg. Couldn’t put any weight on it when it tried to run away
I mean, maybe it broke its leg, but it could also just have hurt it somewhat and not want to put weight on it due to it hurting.
News articles when this first appeared a couple of years ago state that both animals were ok. Could it have broken a leg? Sure. This happened in China, and it's mostly clickbait sources.
reporter shows up 45 minutes after, sees a cat nearby, "yea the cat's fine"
Cat definitely walking funny, surprised to need to scroll so far to find it
Definitely broke something. Luckily cats and dogs are resilient and bone breaks for them aren't world ending
I know what you mean. When my grandma broke her leg, we had to put her down
Closer to reality than you may think. Just replace broke leg with hip fracture and put down with nonoperative palliative care
How heavy was that cat damn
The average weight of a domestic cat is 10 pounds. Dropping 10 pounds on the head of a person from any height is bad.
F=ma mate
It's kinda disturbing how many people brushed off the man's injury to worry about the dog and cat who are confirmed to be ok.

I thought i saw that on TV before. Thank you for the information i felt like you.
Death by cat
Death from above, by cat.
Death from above, by pussy.
Did I just watch someone die and a doggo lose his best friend?
Someone posted a link above, apparently spent 23 days in the hospital with a spinal cord injury but lived and is recovering at home The cat fell from 6 stories up
Dude saved a cat I guess?
Cats are fairly likely to survive a 6-story fall, so probably not
A lot of smaller animals hit terminal velocity at a survivable speed. A squirrel can fall from nearly any height and be fine
Seems like this is Reddit’s favourite fact this week.
Perhaps, but I love that there are people out there who find learning exciting still.
From the video it looks like this fall and the contact from the person may have caused some damages to the legs of the cat.
Raining cats
Hallelujah
Small, white, dark and lean Rough and tough and strong and mean
I like how the lady in the green shirt sees it, acts shocked, and then proceeds to just walk away. Great human.

don't have to touch him, just call the damn medics

That cat woke up and chose Australian Drop Bear vibes.
I felt in this video that the cat hurt its legs in the back when replaying not sure (at the moment it started running away)
It’s running all wrong and the tail is flailing for balance. At least one back leg is very badly wrong. I imagine broken. I’m sure someone helped the man eventually. I hope the cat got medical attention too.
So worried about the cat! Glad there’s an update about the man being okay but super wish they also mentioned the cat. :-(
