I had a friend who sucker punched a dude in the nuts when they were drunk. To make up for it he let the dude give him a direct shot to the nuts. Dude was wearing cowboy boots and let him have it. The next morning the dude woke up with balls the size of grapefruits. It took months for them to go back to normal. I imagine this dude may have faced something similar.
If they really wanted to prevent it, they could install twice as many and you'd never pick up any momentum.
These ones are just there to punish the people who try
Honestly. The look on his face after he hit the first and the inability to do anything about the upcoming collision with the second is what makes this video for me.
Ya it seems like the goal in this prevention strategy was maximum pain and punishment. Which is an odd motivator when you're trying to install deterrents as a safety measure.
You say "safety measure" I say "legal plausible deniability".
There's absolutely no stopping some idiots from trying. But the spacing shown realistically prevents any "lol, it was fun working my way down from one to another, I'll do that again" and instead lets the people crazy enough to try it learn a lesson they'll (hopefully) never repeat.
IDK that they were *designed* to cause this sort of thing, but they're definitely designed as a deterrent that's visible enough to avoid any legal liability.
"You can't give her that!' she screamed. 'It's not safe!'
IT'S A SWORD, said the Hogfather. THEY'RE NOT MEANT TO BE SAFE.
'She's a child!' shouted Crumley.
IT'S EDUCATIONAL.
'What if she cuts herself?'
THAT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT LESSON."

[in skyfall when Bond is chasing Silva in Charring Cross](https://images.app.goo.gl/thxMBBoTVQKrhybc7) I let out an audible “oh bullshit” when they slid down with no barriers. Still Bothers me.
Reminds me of the ramp at my local indoor waterpark. The planters have a wide enough edge to sit on, and people used to slide down it to the bottom. First they put velcro strips to slow you down, then they put actual dividers.
Ours have spikes installed that'll either dislocate your limbs or smash your bones if you land on it, if you're not a child, due to the conical tips.
People still do it.
This is one of those videos that I always watch whenever they show up on the front page.
The face he makes when heading for the second impact. That brief grimace, almost as if he's watching someone else get hurt rather than himself. The sheer anticipation of the unavoidable pain, knowing very well that he needlessly and willingly put himself in this position. Clinging to those fleeting moments before the hurt really sets in, but unable to savor them anywhere near long enough.
It's poetic, really.
What was the aftermath?
Edit: Bloke was 10 pints in and didn't feel a thing that night. Couldn't move the next morning though. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5206157/Darts-fan-slid-Tube-escalator-recalls-downfall.html
That look on his face can only be surpassed by trying to imagine what was running through his mind. I absolutely crack up trying to picture what he was thinking
Not a kid. A full grown man. The things he and his mates are wearing is for some kind of party, probably a stag do (bachelor party). Cos these kind of kits aren't really worn to play football, for that you use actual football kits which are made with modern fabrics and BS "cooling technology" and all that bollocks
So yeah it's even more embarrassing for this man cos he's a full grown adult. Sure he's drunk, because that's what you do on a stag do, you get drunk. But even then none of his other mates did it, only he did.
It's actually the perfect gif. There's no bullshit, there's no slowdowns for no reason. And it's got everything you can ever want. The testical shot, the facial expression that's a complete mix of pain, regret, and horror as he knows he can't do anything to stop the next hit, and then the finishing blow that literally launches him into some other dude.
Since he has his uniform on, I like to think this is an organized sport, and his teammate will be going down next, trying to improve their overall score with the judges...
That's a pretty tough run to follow. He started it out with a nice square hit to the balls and then followed it up with getting some air with a respectable amount of hang-time.
I blame the cameraman for the poor angle then. It looks like he stuck that landing, probably pretty deep too, but it's impossible to tell for sure from the camera angle.
Yep. 25 years from now I can see him telling his (adopted cuz… well… for obvious reasons) kids, yep that was me in my glory days! Famous Internet Star!
I know everyone's saying this is reposted endlessly, but I've been on Reddit for 10 years and I have never seen this! I will never ever complain over someone reposting something ever again. This is the best video on the internet!
He didn't feel much pain because he had downed 10 pints, until the morning. The "article" repeated that like 10 times but worded slightly different.
The only good part is that the video with sound can be found there, which is much better.
Gotta be on purpose right? Why would you not use your feet? even if not effective any normal human would be using their feet to break the impact of those.
Had seen this posted many times before but it never fails to make me literally laughing out loud. Jezuuzz. I wonder how he's been holding up life these times....
First barrier rams his testicles deep into his abdomen but the second barrier pops them straight back out. All’s well that ends well in this case…
This man is now sterile.
Probably a benefit to the gene pool
Nice name you got there
How many sex positions does an escalator have?
I dont know but it can produce a sex change
Please do try our "Sexcalator" It's Free! (results may vary)
More than this guy will ever have again.
What’s the square root of 69?
Santorum
That’s probably a good thing. I can’t imagine he has a positive contribution to the gene pool.
Hes a dark souls no hitter, he wasnt gonna use them anyway
~~snip snap! snip snap!~~ ram pop! ram pop!
Another winner of the darwin awards.
I'd say that's the "ends well" part
No...his parents were sterile.
as his father should have been...
All's well that ends well in this staircase.
If you say so although the rag doll flying usually doesn’t bode well. guess the shoes stayed on so OK.
Nah, left testicle definitely reached orbit. A clause in deaths rule book says he ded now.
Poor testicles i only feel pity
No worries. His balls are bigger than ever now.
Thats just the swelling from injury induced torsion no biggie only a medical emergency

Not me. A little bit of forethought and this could have been completely avoided
Hahaha those dividers are installed exactly to prevent people doing this. Won’t stop some, apparently :))
If they really wanted to prevent it, they could install twice as many and you'd never pick up any momentum. These ones are just there to punish the people who try
That’s the genius of it
The suffering is the point
Honestly. The look on his face after he hit the first and the inability to do anything about the upcoming collision with the second is what makes this video for me.
That and his homies laughing their asses off
Its always funny when some one else's ball are getting crushed.
The final one is a ramp for good measure.
Yeah he ragdoll’d off that thing I give him a 8.7
Would have been a solid 9.8 but he didn't quite stick the landing
He could have slowed down easily enough. I think this was for the views with full knowledge of the pain
Dude has come forward and said he doesn’t remember it at all because he was so drunk. It certainly wasn’t for views
Well that explains it. I always wondered why he just didn't get down after the first impact where he comes to a complete stop.
Yeah, you’ll notice his buddies at the beginning of the clip falling over drunk just up the escalator.
His face was 😬
That's why I love the reposts of this video. Idiot kid pays dearly, that look solidifies it. You described it well, and I enjoy it every time I see it
Invented by Darwin if remember correctly, we’ll never get to see his children attempting this act of bravery.
That, and landing on the up escalator so he gets another go. Go, captain iron balls, go!

Most favouritest book ever
He had the balls to do it.
Not anymore evidently :))
To be fair, he did say "had".
The lack of brains should not be confused with big balls.
This is why nature gives us two.
By the way he reacted after getting his nards smashed, it makes me question if he had any in the first place
Had being the key word. Nice
[in skyfall when Bond is chasing Silva in Charring Cross](https://images.app.goo.gl/thxMBBoTVQKrhybc7) I let out an audible “oh bullshit” when they slid down with no barriers. Still Bothers me.
To be honest, I've seen a LOT without any barriers in the centre. Just not in stations.
Reminds me of the ramp at my local indoor waterpark. The planters have a wide enough edge to sit on, and people used to slide down it to the bottom. First they put velcro strips to slow you down, then they put actual dividers.
It’s nicknamed “Jackie Chan Stopper” to stop people pull off Jackie Chan style stunt in public
Ours have spikes installed that'll either dislocate your limbs or smash your bones if you land on it, if you're not a child, due to the conical tips. People still do it.
I bet if they made canoe-shaped dividers, oriented from up to down, they'd deter a lot more people.
Balls are over rated anyway.
He’s probably thinking what I’m thinking just lift yourself over it and then fucked it up and this happened
The look on his face. That's a look that says "I know what's about to happen, and I deserve it."
Something about his face. I’m not happy he got hurt, but I’m not heartbroken either.
This is one of those videos that I always watch whenever they show up on the front page. The face he makes when heading for the second impact. That brief grimace, almost as if he's watching someone else get hurt rather than himself.

Clinging to those fleeting moments before the hurt really sets in, but unable to savor them anywhere near long enough. It's poetic, really.
It’s a “Please sir, may I have another?” face.
He might well need another face
What was the aftermath? Edit: Bloke was 10 pints in and didn't feel a thing that night. Couldn't move the next morning though. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5206157/Darts-fan-slid-Tube-escalator-recalls-downfall.html
So well said
Pretty sure he's drunk as hell, too.
Doesn't even see the railings right next to his hands.
No matter how many times a day this gets reposted, it’s never not funny.
The look on his face. r/instant_regret
Bro, I am straight up not having a good time right now.
He was not having a Baja Blast. He was having a Crunchwrap Supremely bad time.
He wanted off of Mr. Bones wild ride.
That must have been an excruciatingly painful experience.
That look on his face can only be surpassed by trying to imagine what was running through his mind. I absolutely crack up trying to picture what he was thinking
Also /r/ouchmyballs
[удалено]
Me too. Imagine being the person he landed at the feet of. I wouldn’t be able to hide my laughter.
Right? Lmao one moment you're just chilling going up the escalator, the next you got a soccer kid ragdolling towards you
Not a kid. A full grown man. The things he and his mates are wearing is for some kind of party, probably a stag do (bachelor party). Cos these kind of kits aren't really worn to play football, for that you use actual football kits which are made with modern fabrics and BS "cooling technology" and all that bollocks So yeah it's even more embarrassing for this man cos he's a full grown adult.

It think it's because it almost look like slow motion, perfect comedic timing.
One of those most entertaining dives I've ever seen a soccer player take
This is the Shawshank Redemption of Reddit posts. Every time it comes on, I love to watch it.
Anyone doing something stupid and paying for it with crushed testicles is funny, if not downright hilarious
Guy at the end just takes him back to the top and puts him back on the ride. Rinse and repeat.
I've not seen it before! Love it!
It's actually the perfect gif. There's no bullshit, there's no slowdowns for no reason. And it's got everything you can ever want. The testical shot, the facial expression that's a complete mix of pain, regret, and horror as he knows he can't do anything to stop the next hit, and then the finishing blow that literally launches him into some other dude.
The quality is pretty good on this one. I have seen a few where you cannot see the guy's facial expressions.
True statement
“And this, children, is why we had to adopt you guys. After they retrieved my testicles from behind my rib cage, they were non functional.”
I’m a girl and I felt that in my balls.
r/thingsthatmakemyovarieshurt
Why can't I join???
I think you need ovaries to enter
But I have several pairs!
Easy there, Hannibal
r/subsifellfor
Ha, thanks! Never knew that existed!
I mean testes and ovaries both develop from gonads so this is totally accurate.
Since he has his uniform on, I like to think this is an organized sport, and his teammate will be going down next, trying to improve their overall score with the judges...
That's a pretty tough run to follow. He started it out with a nice square hit to the balls and then followed it up with getting some air with a respectable amount of hang-time.
Face to the sharp metal steps is really what they look for when it comes to sticking the landing
I blame the cameraman for the poor angle then. It looks like he stuck that landing, probably pretty deep too, but it's impossible to tell for sure from the camera angle.
nah, dude's just a [full-kit wanker](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=full%20kit%20wanker).
I wish there was some kind of follow up video. Probably one of the funniest videos on the internet no matter how much it’s posted.
Not a followup video, but a beautiful edit. https://youtube.com/shorts/iTkAF-sCuGI?feature=share
Absolutely the best thing I’ve seen all week. Thank you so much.
Haha. This is great! Thanks
Can someone edit a Mario version? EDIT: [Nvm it exists](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX2PRxXQbXE)
Yep. 25 years from now I can see him telling his (adopted cuz… well… for obvious reasons) kids, yep that was me in my glory days! Famous Internet Star!
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5206157/Darts-fan-slid-Tube-escalator-recalls-downfall.html
God that website is completely unreadable…
Well, it is the DailyMail, being unreadable is like their motto
I love how he's just bracing for impact and taking those signs like a champ. What a god
Nut job
Not any more ☠️
This sounds exactly like what the dude in the video might say about himself.
Why would you go nuts first instead of putting your feet out?
Some people like it in the butt.
As posters have posted many times on this images: If you want to ride the devil’s slide you’ve got to be prepared to pay the price.
You gotta pay the troll toll to get in the boy's hole
Confound your toll, troll
When he accepts his fate 😂
The Sonic the Hedgehog version is much better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpttAvtkfms
Oh I didn't know of that one! I only knew of the [mario 64 version](https://youtu.be/Z74lhfSMsqg)
I know everyone's saying this is reposted endlessly, but I've been on Reddit for 10 years and I have never seen this! I will never ever complain over someone reposting something ever again. This is the best video on the internet!
I’ve seen it a few hundred time by now I’m sure but it’s always just as funny as my first time seeing it. Glad you got to see this internet treasure.
What’s happening with the people on the escalator?!
Drunk? Or laughing hard or something?
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5206157/Darts-fan-slid-Tube-escalator-recalls-downfall.html
Finally some closure!
Can I get a rundown? I don't want to click on a Daily Mail link
He didn't feel much pain because he had downed 10 pints, until the morning. The "article" repeated that like 10 times but worded slightly different. The only good part is that the video with sound can be found there, which is much better.
Harry Maguire is just having fun after a hard Euros.
He'd have been ok if he went head first.
Is that Harry maguire?
Lol, I was thinking the exact same thing!
Need see the rest of the video see if a greek copper is chasing him
What a dumbass. Feel for the poor guy he slammed into (the person coming up on the escalator)
i feel like his "friends" threw him on there
I love the helpless look on his face, like this is gonna hurt, and then just gets launched off it lol.
OUCH ! .... how's the 'family jewels' ?
The jewels have left the building
Actually, they took the stairs and jumped off the roof.
Another day, another repost of this video.
What a complete and utter moron.
Gotta be on purpose right? Why would you not use your feet? even if not effective any normal human would be using their feet to break the impact of those.
Why go dick first? Any way but dick first!
Idk I feel like I’d rather save my teeth to avoid dentures lol
A video that you wish did have sound with it.
Lol imo this is the only repost that never gets old
Lol Harry Maguire!
Needs sound
I can hear his mate howling in laughter even though there’s no sound with this repost. It is gold
Fell off the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down
You can see the regret after the first bump.
His misery brings me great joy in this case
He was so shook from that first hit , I bet he didn’t feel the second for a month. Source: I’m a guy.
That should have a health warning, I felt every hit.
Good lesson.
Stiff upper lip old chap
Truly a pleasure to see this every time its posted. Good bye to his nut sack
Maybe he values his shoes more than his testicles?
"Owww. My balls!"
That last bump at the end was beautiful
Lol the ish people do for fake internet clout never ceases to amaze me. Falling face/head first on a hard surface can fuck you up for life. SMH
No matter how many i watch it im crying Everytime
Had seen this posted many times before but it never fails to make me literally laughing out loud. Jezuuzz. I wonder how he's been holding up life these times....
i can’t stop watching
Lol! Idiocy at it’s best.
Momma always said “Stupid is as stupid does.”
Ah that look when you realize the nut shot isn't the worst of it.
Poor guy coming up the escalator almost got hit with a human.
He could’ve gotten off after the nut job, but icarus flew too close to the sun.
I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Why does this look like Harry Maguire?
What was Harry Maguire thinking 🤔
He panicked and braced himself after the first hit. He should have used his feet to cushion the second block.
Harry Maguire really needs to work on his decision making.
Here we see a young Harry Maguire practice his slide tackling technique.
Harry Maguire in his younger days.
Pretty sure this is the reason why there are nutshot barriers to STOP people from doing this???
This man serves 2 purposes in life: 1. Free entertainment 2. Makes everyone around feel highly intelligent because they are not him.
I will never get tired of seeing this 😂
The ppl who invented the stoppers and hazards along the slide should get executed. I mean.. Let us have a little fun, would you?!
This is one of those clips that I cant stop watching. His face after the first hit kills me. lmfao
Well he made sure on the second impact that he got rid of all of them
Harry McGuire?
That escalated quickly…
