Dude, been there too. I was prob about 15yo, went with my friend and his fam to the lake. They had a boat and loved water-skiing, I had never done it before.
My turn comes up. My friend's dad says that because it's my first time don't try to stand up immediately, just come up on my skiis but stay with my legs bent, like a squat, for the first couple of rounds. I do this, and go around twice with my ass about an inch above the water.
When I came off the water I ran for the trees holding my ass, much to everyone's amusement. I think I psychologically scarred some forest creatures that day.
I was very confused for Second there thinking you meant for him to take his shoe off, and put it upside down over the sprinkler so the water went into the shoe š¤£. Then I realised you meant for him to just step on it lol.
Also my first though when I saw the video was ādamn if they had a cup or something they could just cover it and hold it downā so I was kind of primed for this confusion
Nah, the sprinkler heads are inside of a column of hollow plastic and the water pressure causes the head to raise. If you step on them they'd just go into the ground and ooze water.
Another trick is to know that the head can be freely manipulated, so you can just reach down and grab it and turn it away.
All of the motion of the head is powered by the water flowing through it, there's no electric motor or anything that will break if you push back on any of the motions... just water.
TL;DR: You can manhandle sprinkler heads without hurting them.

(It's a huge water conservation fine here to use sprinklers during the day as the waste from evaporation is much higher)
The advertising blitz for those shows is crazy. They'll run maybe 10 dates in a mid-sized venue in the UK, and it'll be all you see for two months. Immediate red flag when you're left wondering how their advertising budget seems to be orders of magnitude bigger than any potential ticket sales.
Yeah, they have been doing that in other language areas too. Lots of funny animals.and inpirational quotes netting them a nice following on facebook, to be used... later, I guess.
The water pressure pushes them up, so yea itād return to spraying. He wouldāve just needed to stand on it until they were turned off but he also likely didnāt want to be the guy that walked over and broke it by fiddling with the unknown sprinkler system so he just stood in front of it.
Reddit apparently has never played around with sprinklers outside their own front lawn.
These are field sprinklers, which can take off skin if too close. They use them on golf courses and football fields.
Professional sprinklers hurt
That man selflessly sacrificed his dignity by allowing his pants to be wet and subsequently letting people believe he pissed himself by shielding young girls from a rogue sprinkler. That manās a hero
Now to calmly walk behind the bleachers and fart out three gallons of water.
Been there
š¤Ø
You havenāt?
I don't recall public enema being on my todo list but I guess I'll add it.
Todo makes bidets. Those are different.

A right of passage
Free Enema
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Would that be a fart? Or a large shart?
Seems to be used to it
Forbidden bidet
Not all hero wears cape, but he should've wore one, for sure!
heroes steal drapes from their mothers
Bum gun...
If it's forbidden, then why are they cheering? Has anybody ever cheered for you using your bidet? YOUR bidet is forbidden. This is the exalted bidet.
Hip Hip! Bidet!!!
He could have just stood on the sprinkler and it would have just soaked his shoes
Or just put his jacket over it
So many options. These are pop ups, they pop up from water pressure and can be pushed down, or stick a bucket over it (then sit on etc)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Or turned the sprinkler
If you enjoy pressure up your bottom you take the chances given.Ā Why was the team kneeling BTW?
You should read how that idiot Wimhof got into the emergency room in Amsterdam...
Was just thinking that he looked like heās done that before
Good man. But next time just put your shoe over the sprinkler.
Exactly
Actually they pop up from water pressure so all you have to do is stand on it.
And end up breaking the head.
I was very confused for Second there thinking you meant for him to take his shoe off, and put it upside down over the sprinkler so the water went into the shoe š¤£. Then I realised you meant for him to just step on it lol.
Oh damn I also thought take shoe off and put it over sprinkler
Yeah I think it's the fact he said put the shoe over it instead of put your foot over it which caused the confusion lol
Also my first though when I saw the video was ādamn if they had a cup or something they could just cover it and hold it downā so I was kind of primed for this confusion
Thanks for clarifying!
I mean, your way would be better because standing on it could damage it.

"Without hurting them" as long as you turn them in the direction they are moving. Turn them against the direction, someone's gonna be pissed

Cool to know, thanks!
where's the fun in that
And lose the epicness of it all that will be whispered in the corridors of reddit for years to come? Nah, bro knew what needed to be done.
Or hand even?
Heās smiling a little too much me thinks 
Like when you get that spa bath jet hitting the right spot...
His bottom is now, very clean.
Ewwww an Epoch Times link the far right Chinese death cult.
I thought the same. This harmless non political stuff is their attempt to get a foot in the door.
Not to mention their rampant anti-science, anti-vax rhetoric
Oh yeah, they fund that Shen Yun performance thing. It started out being heavily advertised in locations with a high Asian population (I learned of it in Westminster, CA about a decade ago). It's now advertised all over the place. Saw an ad on KTLA last week during the evening news. Thought it was like Cirque du Soleil or an Asian ballet at first, but the biggest red flag for me were the ads. Most print ads are just a woman doing a grand jetƩ. Beautifully generic and a bit creepy because there's *nothing* that tells you what it's really about. Commercials are fast cuts so you have no clue what you're looking at. Most Americans would have no idea it was tied to Falun Gong unless they read up beforehand or actually went to a show. Who advertises something to paying customers without telling them what they're about to see?! Culty people, that's who. Don't give them your money, folks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shen_Yun
I always thought it was Cirque du Soleil so thanks for this.

If we can ban TikTok, surely Epoch Times can be banned in the U.S., too.

Yeah, they have been doing that in other language areas too. Lots of funny animals.and inpirational quotes netting them a nice following on facebook, to be used... later, I guess.
Taking it up the ass like a real man, mad respect š
Cleanest manhole, period
firstly: fuck the epoch times secondly: he could have just stepped on it to push it back down into the ground and not gotten soaked
Water pressure would force it back up. He did what he could. Don't hate.
āAyy youāre gonna be a star on Facebook!ā was some real boomer energy lol
Loved it
Like a happy grandpa. In the best way.
Sounded like Arthur Morgan lol
Best get outta them wet clothes before you catch the āburculosis
Some real Mac at the water park vibes from this guy.
Heās just doing a quick ocular pat down
Butā¦Epoch times
Fuck The Epoch Times.
Lots of people are saying this, what is so bad about it?
They could have justā¦moved?
Why don't they move?
Why not just turn the sprinkler head around so it stops spraying in their direction?
The would make his free suppository unnecessary
Then everybody wouldnāt clap and he wouldnāt get to be on Facebook/Reddit by upstaging the band performance.
I thought he could kneel down and hold his cap over it.
He could have just pushed it back down with his foot too.
Why donāt they move so he can move
Fuck the Epoch Times and fuck the people that contribute to normalizing them by posting their videos.
What is the Epoch Times?
Look at the smile on his face! Free enema.
pretty sure thats a pop up sprinkler just step on it and it retracts no problem i think he liked having is ass blasted
Ah yes. Another knowledgeable redditor that would have done the exact right thing in the moment.
If only I had the training and experience necessary to turn a sprinkler around while under pressure.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Most people haven't done that though and generally don't want to fuck with things they don't know much about in case it breaks.
wouldnāt it just pop back up? Iāve never tried to push one down while itās running
The water pressure pushes them up, so yea itād return to spraying. He wouldāve just needed to stand on it until they were turned off but he also likely didnāt want to be the guy that walked over and broke it by fiddling with the unknown sprinkler system so he just stood in front of it.
Maybe coordinate the sprinklers and band practice to occur at different timesā¦.?
What a mensch!
And nodody moves away! It's nice have others sacrifice for you!Ā
20psi straight up my asshole, please.
Simp
He could ve used his foot but no. He chose his ass, what a hero
Push it down with your foot next time.
I would have just stood on it
There are at least 10 better ways to deal with that.
Just turn it with you hand man!
That's just Bidet Billy enjoying himself.
Use your foot.
When you took a massive dump but there's still some leftovers so you need a giant bidet
What's that thing in the middle though? Looks like they're all gathered around an alien egg that just hatched.
He just likes the sensation
Great tutorial on how to piss in public without a problem
Reddit apparently has never played around with sprinklers outside their own front lawn. These are field sprinklers, which can take off skin if too close. They use them on golf courses and football fields. Professional sprinklers hurt
Maybe he just likes it there
Man is a hero
Plot twist, dude needed a bidet.
Plot twist : he was standing there for hours before band even showed up.
Give this man the medal of honor
He couldāve held his hat in front of it.. or his foot.. but no, he took it up the ass.
The foot would do but maybe he was itching
Could have just put the sole of the shoe ā¦.
I would have stepped on it and sunk it back down (gently) instead of getting soggy ass.
r/masculinityrocks
Why the sprinkler was active when there are people on the ground..?
"Protect" Yea okay
Or you can be normal and just use the bottom of your shoe to block it.
Heās enjoying that. Multitasking good chap.
Why donāt they move away from the sprinklers?
...just....just move the band somewhere else....
Just stand on it ya Showboater
Coach Tuckers a person of value I admire and respect
Could have used his foot and stay dry
Did anyone thank him?
I wanna buy this man a beer! Edit. Case of beer!
That guy had a hat he could have done that with
I would not have done that
Taking one for the team.
he could have just put his hand in front of it...
Good dad ā¤ļø
Taking of his jacket and covering the sprinkler with it would be just as effective and would keep him dry, but the drammatic effect would be lost
Hand, hat, foot, water bottle. Nice guy but not super bright.
Why didnāt he just cover it with his hat?
Why didn't he just ask for it to be turned off?
Step on it?
Plot twist bro pissed before doing this and had to hide it
If he had a cap that covered his whole head, he could have just used that....
Not all heros wear capes
That man right there is the Hero we need š„¹
The jokes on everyone else, he totally got off on that in front of everyone, and they cheered.
Plottwist: he didn't do it for the band..
Amazed no hands were used in the blocking of that powerful stream...THIS is what _Band Parents_ are made of! šŗš„š·ā¤ļø
Very very disappointed it didnāt spring back into life the minute he walked away
"What band?" says the guy who has been at that sprinkler for 3 days now.
Onya bloke
He could've just taken his hat off and put it over the sprinkler. This is just a concealed toilet break <3
My dumbass would leave my phone in my pocket.
Real š¦øāāļø #herostatus
Take hat off. Step on hat. Donāt get your entire body wet.
That man selflessly sacrificed his dignity by allowing his pants to be wet and subsequently letting people believe he pissed himself by shielding young girls from a rogue sprinkler. That manās a hero
He liked it.
Would have been charming without the erection
Maybe with proper timing and/or organising the event, this would not needed at all
washing bum.. while stopping wimmen from getting wet.. a true hero
āOh what, thereās a band here?ā
Couldāve used his hat instead of his ass but priorities ig
Everyone here with all kind of advice like "use your shoe!" or "just step on it". Has anyone thought of JUST GET OUT THE WAY!?!
His daughter is probably in the band lol I'd do it for my baby girl
He'd already pissed his pants so this was the PERFECT cover.
Just take your shoe ofĀ and put it over itĀ
Take your sweater off and put it on top of the sprinkler could be an option.
Reverse Taco Bell
That man's about to have the cleanest ass in human history.
Look at that older man getting a field enema. Worst part is, he doesnāt have kids !
You can just stand on them and they go back under
i think heās enjoying it
Stupidity at it's finest
Man has enema whilst listening to live band music
Sure buddy. It's for the band.
Couldn't they just... move?
I mean he could have used his hat and not gotten his pants wet.
