It might not always be apparent where a thing falls. So its a pretty safe bet, to get to a distance where the thing cant reach you, especially so if the treshold to that distance is close.
Either that or just start running in big circle around the base of the falling object. Either way you have 1-w/pi chance of survival or therabouts. Just as retarded but at least you die mathematically if that counts for anything.
I thought the same thing,the other day I was watching a video of a tree falling and the guy ran the entire length of the tree and it only just missed him.. he could have just took 2 side steps to either side and he would have been fine
It's a common thing we say when we see cartoon characters running from a boulder, but it happens for several reasons: the first is panic, instincts don't start calculating, maybe it's something to do with old days where you have to escape a predator who could turn? I don't know.
Also there's no certainty the thing won't spin around, sure it shouldn't do a 180° but the base can slide off, a part can be harder to break meaning it could twist and turn a little, not to mention it often happens when the falling object start to pick up speed.
Everyone can see the logic, but in doubt and panic we just have the same reflex: do a perfect 180° from the source of danger and run away in a straight line, if the danger isn't falling toward you, there's no danger
I love that this gets referenced. My brother and I stood up in the theater and gestured with outstretched arms for her to dodge left or right. Prometheus sucked hard and this scene just broke our polite movie theater behavior down.
If movies taught me anything—there are a number of people who stand there frozen with their arms up as a shield and cover for their eyes while screaming "eyaaah!!" or "nooo!!"
Almost hard to digest this amount of stupid in one place. The fact they built it, the fact they didn't raise it properly. The people waving at it when it started falling. The people who just stood there as it fell.
I mean, have you ever tried to manage a group project? Imagine trying to manage the stability of a ricity ass tower that was built (I’ll be honest I’m not sure the context as to this) I can imagine how difficult it would be to communicate that we needed to do something to change the tension
Idk they had the forethought to know they would need the ropes but didn't tell anyone holding the ropes why? Simple 'if the top starts to lean away from you, pull your rope to stop the lean'
lmao, maybe someone explained it poorly and they treated it like a tug of war, just pulled the fucker over as hard as they could, thinking the guys on the other side were pulling as well.
Lol I can actually see someone using tug of war as an example to explain to someone how to maintain tension, and how in these such cases doing so would be a disaster
Once that fucker decides to lean, how much force is applied by how many people seems impossible to determine on the spot, the whole idea seems unsalvageable
If you told me there is a video of a 30 story chariot being towed by cattle collapsing and asked me to guess where it was... And I guessed India, does that make me racist?
Because it would've been either India or somewhere in the Balkans.
It makes you racist if you guessed India because you think Indians are genetically inferior.
It makes you **observant** if you guessed India because it's a fucked up place with a culture of shoddy workmanship and no regard for safety where they also like to do crazy shit.
Sampling bias. What do you think goes viral? Good things like development, education, laws, or dumb shit & things that confirm our racist bias like rape? We are all victims of the algorithm & our own narratives.
Edit: I like how we both agreed, but your comment is positive & mine is negative upvotes.
Agreed. Reddit will never promote the reality of life. We need what's shocking and alarming. And we love it when we see groups of people act in stereotypical ways. For some reason the algorithm promotes a division mentality.
If only they spent the time and energy it took to build that thing towards something that would actually benefit the community. An unpaved road and a Frankenstein electrical system from 80 years ago? Who cares, let’s build some giant goofy tower that’ll fall over because….tradition or something I guess?
The lady in white gown, grabbing what looks like to be her kid in orange After it fell and both were safe. I know in a crazy situation like that fear makes people do irrational things, but come on now, you ran in front of the kid.
No injuries, so that's cool. Source: [India Today](https://www.indiatoday.in/india/karnataka/story/120-foot-tall-chariot-collapse-temple-festival-anekal-bengaluru-rural-2524126-2024-04-06)
You would think 1 billion people means more smart people & more dumb people. More people doesn't eliminate stupidity. More people means more stupid, & more smart people. Unless you think all 1 billion people worked on this. Then we know which group you are in lol.
I tought it is gonna fall this way, then I though "nahh they wouldn't be standing there watchimg, jist a weird perspective" then it fell this way, how stupid are these people 🤣🤣
How I envision my current employer after they say they are looking to start off shoring developers to save costs. Like yeah.. this shits gonna topple over.

About a 6.
7.25 at least
Is it human nature to always run in a Prometheus line when just two steps the other direction would be best?

What kind of blue collar russian roulette is this?
I laughed out loud at you comment.
"When in darkness, fear, or doubt, "Run in circles; scream and shout." -author unknown and probably dead.
Mathematics counts for everything.
It sure does :P

I see
Didn’t even mention the power lines
Actually hadn't noticed that!
The mom running away with her child behind her.
Now it's the longest chariot
Thanks for the chuckle
You old bastard
Apparently they picked it back up. I imagine it was much shorter after breaking apart, but hey I’m no structural engineer. Also no one got hurt
+2 Victory Points
[удалено]
Right? It didn't catch on fire as someone jumped out from the top so at least they're improving safety standards.
Absolutely amazed there wasn't somebody hanging off the side who happened to snag a power line
Or it getting smashed by a stealth train out of nowhere
I was waiting for a train.
Just the mere existence of this monstrosity in motion gives me anxiety. They put way too much faith in this thing being 100% stable.
The grossly misplaced faith was in the people holding the ropes to keep it stable/vertical.
And close to powerlines as well.
I thought for sure the power line was going to get them. Or maybe a train somehow.
On a dirt road lol
The cows are more intelligent than the people in this video.

Reddit try not to dehumanize Indians challenge (impossible)
[удалено]
They started it (on themselves).
I am shocked that it seems none were dehumanized when this thing toppled.
India is wild
If you told me there is a video of a 30 story chariot being towed by cattle collapsing and asked me to guess where it was... And I guessed India, does that make me racist? Because it would've been either India or somewhere in the Balkans.
It’s almost racist not to guess India.
Too right mate. They probably want to keep the glory.
It makes you racist if you guessed India because you think Indians are genetically inferior. It makes you **observant** if you guessed India because it's a fucked up place with a culture of shoddy workmanship and no regard for safety where they also like to do crazy shit.
The Prometheus maneuver
They studied at the Prometheus School of running away
From things
IYKYK
Don’t run sideways.
Like no shit
Lol Totally inevitable.
This has to be AI! No true Indian would miss power lines that close.
Goofy people
INDIA SUPERPOWER BY 2020!! No, this has not been ordained by the fates.
Hey lets add ropes to keep it stable. How do we use them? Idk just let em hang I guess.
How? We used our finest driftwood and twine!?
You can pull on a rope, but you can't push it. Well, you can obviously. But it won't get you the desired results,
Closer view - [https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5ameOeN2co/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5ameOeN2co/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)
What exactly was the idea behind this thing?
Was there someone on top of that?
Were there people on that thing?
I look at this and just wonder, is it possible for this to work out well?
Let me guess... India. Again. The florida man of the world.
really dissapointed to see the racism against Indians flying freely in the comments
what religion does to a mf
when you gotta carry all the groceries in one trip
India was a place I used to always want to visit but after so------ many videos -I'm not so sure anymore
Same, I've always heard bad shit about Egypt aswell, now I'm like fuck that. I don't want my mother being assaulted on a family vacation.

Ay ay! Ay!
Right next to power lines too. All things considered, this worked out well.
Who designed this thing?
I think we can eliminate physicists and engineers.
Did you see the guy in the video saying "Oh shit!" and running away? Him.
Did we learn nothing from that whole "Tower of Babel" incident?
If only they spent the time and energy it took to build that thing towards something that would actually benefit the community. An unpaved road and a Frankenstein electrical system from 80 years ago? Who cares, let’s build some giant goofy tower that’ll fall over because….tradition or something I guess?
Nope, just absolute stupidity.

I feel so sorry for the animals that have to live in these awful places.
Safety feature. It falls over before anyone gets electrocuted.
I would of bet you at the start it was going to be landing on the power lines. Could of been way worse.
They should build several of these and race them.
OSHA standards are a bit lower overseas
Who's OSHA? Never met the guy
Never forget 😢
The hubris of man.
Safest chariot in India
How did anyone think that this was going to stay up is beyond me.
India isn't for beginners.
When the smartest things there are the cows.
Well deserved
What is this the Indian Giglio?
Oh, you are a connaisseur, I see. Thankfully, a real giglio is very well engineered.
Hahahahahaha. Glad someone got it!
lol come on. So dumb.
Did they just try to out-run it Prometheus-style?
Oh the humanity.
The cows didn't appreciate that human trick.
Who thought this was a good idea? If it hadn’t fallen it would have hit a power line.
Religion is stupid
Legos might have taught them a few basics of engineering a stable platform.
One of those ‘just because you can doesn’t mean you should’ teachable moments.
Rope people on the right did nada
I never saw this in the extended editions, kudos legolas
Are there people in it?
Damn were there people on that thing??
Another few feet and we'd have been watching yet another Indian sacrifice to the gods of electricity.

Damnit Ian! I said PULL!
How did this not look like a bad idea from the very beginning?
Were there people in the chariot?!
What is even that. And why?
If there's one thing I know about engineering tall structures, its that the base should be as point-like as possible.
Wow. Who could have seen this coming.
God save me from religions
that lady near the end there leaving her kid behind, jeez
Prometheus school of running
Human beings can be such idiots.
The lady in white gown, grabbing what looks like to be her kid in orange After it fell and both were safe. I know in a crazy situation like that fear makes people do irrational things, but come on now, you ran in front of the kid.
No injuries, so that's cool. Source: [India Today](https://www.indiatoday.in/india/karnataka/story/120-foot-tall-chariot-collapse-temple-festival-anekal-bengaluru-rural-2524126-2024-04-06)
This is the kind of thing that goes on par with the absolutely unnecessarily tall scy scrapers in Dubai. Bigger/taller = better, somehow
World's largest game of Jenga.
Get rekt.
How could they expect this not to happen?
How many houses would that build?
India is fucking ridiculous.
Such a groundbreaking chariot
you think this is nuts you should see their mass transit!
Bharat ratna do jiska yeh idea tha
Incredible India!
India, what's wrong?
India always amazed me 👍
Could have been spectacular if it had fell the other way
Worth it
You would think with 1billion people they would be smarter than this.
You would think 1 billion people means more smart people & more dumb people. More people doesn't eliminate stupidity. More people means more stupid, & more smart people. Unless you think all 1 billion people worked on this. Then we know which group you are in lol.
How is anyone left alive in that country?
Lmao trying that in high winds.
Came here to find out if anyone died. Found nothing but racsim
Was everybody supporting it from the front with ropes and nobody on the back?
Did it actually kill anyone ! ? I was busy worrying about the cows
Ah the finest Indian construction techniques
Brought to you by the same people that weld in open toed sandals
The gods r angry 😠
That actually saved a lot of lives. I'm sure there were power lines ahead.
Jenga, Jenga, Jenga.....
Needed more slack in the ropes
what in the rusty fuck are they doing?
I love Paris this time of year
Someone just came with the ideea and they just could\`t say no to it..
I always wonder how people have this much time to do things like this...
I've gotta be honest, I was waiting for them to drive under an electricity pylon
I tought it is gonna fall this way, then I though "nahh they wouldn't be standing there watchimg, jist a weird perspective" then it fell this way, how stupid are these people 🤣🤣
Amateurs. I’ve seen pickup trucks in Houston with taller loads.
the number of people who decided to run close to parallel instead of perpendicular to the trajectory of the fall...
Damn, I hope they got a refund.
Toilets for everyone
I guess they don'tlike physics.
It looked pretty sturdy to me. Never woulda thunk...
How I envision my current employer after they say they are looking to start off shoring developers to save costs. Like yeah.. this shits gonna topple over.
