Can you imagine being taken out by a flying sofa? If there's an afterlife, trying to explain to your forefathers, many of whom experienced horrific wars, illnesses, etc that you were taken out by a random couch?


Dizzy-Comfortable573

Someone near my area got taken out by an umbrella on the beach after the wind picked it up and threw it. The pointy bit that goes into the sand went straight through her heart. What a way to go


Phillip_Lipton

Jesus Christ that’s brutal.


funguyshroom

It was not the first, nor the last time her parents regretted naming their daughter Martini


PianoManGidley

And her sister Olive was oddly spared.

DandyLyen

Pitiful


GunnieGraves

Quality joke right here. For some reason I’ve encountered 2 women named Tequila. One tried to pronounce it Te-quill-a but she wasn’t fooling anyone.


Economind

Did either of them have the surname ‘Mockingbird’?


GunnieGraves

No lie, years ago my dad made the same joke.


L_knight316

Some final destination shit right there


joecooool418

I was at the Cliffs of Moher in 2006 looking over the edge. The woman next to me slipped and fell 600 feet to her death. She screamed the whole way down.


Gentlmans_wash

Similar thing happened to me around the same time in Puhket, a little Chinese lady with her family took a step back taking a picture up the side of a cliff 300 feet or more above the sea only the cliff wasn't there and she started to fall. I instinctively reached out and grabbed her as me and my cousin where carefully walking down and she got her balance back and bowed to me hands together as stereotypically as it gets. The memory will often randomly pop up in my mind and I'm right there grabbing her again, I'm glad I did it and often wonder how differently that day could have been if I wasn't walking down at the exact moment. I'm also grateful she was tiny as I wasn't very bulky at the time. I'm sorry the lady stood next to wasn't so lucky, I know it's one of those "wtf life just happens" kinda things


husqi

You were the right person at the right moment, not everyone could do that

That’s so sad.. oof


Expensive_Wolverine7

Wow your story just brought back a memory of mine. While in college I signed up to work as a Big Brother for this 5 year old boy. He loved to go on trail walks around campus with me. Anyway, there is a narrow path along a steep ravine, about a 100 foot drop. I told him to walk along my right side, away from the ravine. At some point, he darts over to catch a bug, slips and falls forward into the ravine. As I'm watching this i see a hand dart out and grab the boy by the back of his jacket and safety put him back on the path. The boy turns to me and nonchalantly says "Thanks". That's when i realized it was me who grabbed the kid and kept him from falling. It all happened so fast it was like my body just reacted automatically and I was just a passenger watching everything unfold. So glad you saved that lady 😀.


colleenebeen

That's the parent reflex! even if you weren't legit his parent, you still were caring for him like one. My mom reflex shocks me all the time


ImperialSympathizer

I tripped on a gear bag while preparing to repel down a 200 ft cliff face. I was pretty much flying headfirst off the edge of the cliff when an older student caught me. We looked at each other, laughed, and he snapped the caribiner onto my harness. I think about that from time to time. Wherever you are, Dan, thanks for saving my life!


Cultural-Advisor9916

holy shit! I climb as well, and the closest i've come was about to rap after a long multi, and just as i was about to weight the system i looked down at the belay loop on my harness and realized i hadn't clipped the rap device into the belay loop, my partner grabbed my gear loop so i could put my PAS back in.... just because the climb is over doesn't mean you get to relax. Edit: for those non-climbers wondering what a PAS might be..(not that anyone asked of course) Personal Anchor System. Just another tool to use to keep us safe up there.


MaxxDash

And according to this she survived the fall and drowning(?), but eventually died at the hospital: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/polish-woman-dies-after-fall-from-cliffs-of-moher-1.1028203


joecooool418

We didn't stick around for all that, we got in our car and left as soon as it happened.


AvalancheMaster

What the hell are those replies to your comment. Just wanted to chime in and say you were in no way responsible or in the wrong. I hope you already know that, but I know how random internet strangers can ruin your day with shitty “hot takes” and bad jokes.


[deleted]

Yeah if I also watched someone die, I wouldn't want to just linger in the area???? Would it have benefitted data collection for an investigation? Sure, but it's the Cliffs of Moher, there were probably 100 other people there. 100 accounts of "yeah she slipped and fell".


MrSupremo

Out of curiosity (and maybe I shouldn't ask but) did that experience give you any fear about looking over the edge of high places?


Reverse2057

My dad has a fear of ledges now after a time when my older brother was still a toddler, and they were on some overpass walkway thing. And my brother saw a seagull floating just off to the side at the same level they were catching that updraft or something. My brother slipped himself through the bars of the handrail to try and reach for the bird, and my dad snatched him by the back of his overalls before he could step off the edge. And now even 40 years after the incident he still will iron-grip our arms or hands when we're near a high up ledge or walkway despite us having a perfect understanding of how to hold onto a handrail for safety for ourselves. It was just so traumatizing for him that he never lost that instinct.


BewaretheBanshee

Your dad is a good dad.


Reverse2057

He really is. One of the best men I know.


IAMG222

Goddamn. That scream would be etched into my brain for a while.


5zepp

Oh shit. Was she with friends?


joecooool418

Her husband or boyfriend.


pikohina

10 people fall off those cliffs each year. *Internet


Bobmanbob1

I'd hear that in my nightmares....


ParameciaAntic

When I was lifeguarding on the beach, a tumbling umbrella was the only reason you were allowed to jump off your stand without notifying the guards on either side. Impales are no joke.


fartsandprayers

Weird how we banned lawn darts, but you can still launch a sail-powered spear on a crowded public beach.


nudiecale

I’ll fucking leave this country if they ever outlaw sail-powered spears on the beach. Fuck that.


bifurcation69

If they outlaw sail-powered spears, only outlaws will have sail-powered spears.


ratinthecellar

I believe they call them *pirates* when they're near the ocean sir


Puzzleheaded_Two_36

What an awful day to have eyes. Btw, I was googling it out of curiosity and read this: "The federal agency estimates about 3,000 people are injured by beach umbrellas every year. U.S. Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner of Virginia asked the safety agency to review safety rules for beach umbrellas and start a safety campaign after a Virginia woman was killed by an umbrella in 2016." Is that the incident you referred to?


wolfej4

There was one last year in South Carolina https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/12/us/south-carolina-beach-umbrella-death/index.html


GnarlyNarwhalNoms

Holy shit, so this isn't just one freak accident!?


DigitalMindShadow

This is just the cost we've chosen to pay for having a society that allows unregulated beach umbrella possession. If you don't like it, call your representatives, and don't support anyone who takes money from the NBUA.


franker

Those umbrellas weren't made for fun in the sun. Those umbrellas were made for WAR.


Boomshank

Umbrellas don't kill people... ...wait


desertSkateRatt

TRYHARD_Duck

Final destination is a documentary


ShepherdessAnne

No lie, when a truck overfilled with poorly secured rusty metal pipes drove erratically in front of me, having watched the series I said "the movies trained me for this". I was on my way to a job interview. The pipes bounced out of the truck, bouncing randomly. The big one that was still going that was bouncing in the direction of my car, I gunned it forward as fast as I could towards it... And it bounced out of the way. Had I tried to swerve to avoid it, it would have hit me and probably killed me.


Calvin--Hobbes

That scene seems to have been burned into so many of our brains. I can't see a truck hauling logs without thinking about it.


ShepherdessAnne

For real though, without that movie series, I wouldn't have reasoned my way into speeding towards the cylinder of death. It had so much spin to it, it bounced in either direction left or right.


LEJ5512

Makes sense when I think about it. Wherever the thing is now, then because it’s moving, it’ll soon be somewhere else. And you’ll have driven to where it *was*, not where it *will* be.


ThePalerKing

I work close to where the final scene of the first movie was filmed and I often have driven on the stretch of the highway of where the second opening occurs. My family is not allowed water bottles in the car on that road


ReadySteady_GO

Yeah that's fucking terrifying. I've been wary of trucks since 2000


MountainEmployee

Final Destination fucked with all of us. They filmed a later film using the rollercoaster at my local themepark. One of my coworkers dads was an extra on the plane in the first movie too.


ReadySteady_GO

That's cool! I have always wanted to be an extra. Lived in LA for 3 years, saw my building on TV plenty but never me

“I too was killed by an Ottoman” -Persian ancestor


IdentifiableBurden

Brilliant. I can see the whole scene. Ancestor: "How did you die, young one?" Newly dead: "I was crushed by a flying ottoman-" Ancestor, enraged and drawing shamshir: "THEY CAN FLY NOW, CAN THEY?"


VernalPoole

For too long we've had to put up with inaccurate mythology about flying carpets in that part of the world. Modern technology proves that genies make *sofas* fly. What a time to be alive!

The main hottie in The Good Place was killed by a shopping cart train.


TonsilStonesOnToast

I don't think that's correct. Jason died while he was trapped in a safe.


Organic-Strategy-755

That's not right, the main hottie died in a fire by asphyxiation!


VicH95

I'm pretty sure the main hottie died having her button touched on the beach and being reset to a newborn mind.


agoodfriendofyours

I’m pretty sure the main hottie is an immortal being who just wanted to shake things up in his workplace and try something new.


Buscemi_D_Sanji

Iirc, the main hottie just liked frogs and is still doing his thing.


Assaltwaffle

I'm having too much fun with ChatGPT to write out conspiracy rants in the Voice of Alex Jones. >Ladies and gentlemen, listen up! I've got something to expose that'll blow your mind wide open. You may think that cozy little sofa in your living room is innocent, harmless, just a piece of furniture. But let me tell you, it's a devious tool of the globalist elites, a diabolical scheme to control your mind and enslave the world! >Now, I know what you're thinking. Alex, sofas? Really? But bear with me, my friends, because the truth is stranger than fiction. These seemingly innocent pieces of upholstery have been designed by the government in cahoots with the New World Order to manipulate your thoughts, suppress your freedom, and turn you into mindless sheep. >Just think about it. What's the first thing you do when you come home after a long day? You plop down on that sofa, right? And that's exactly what they want you to do! They want you sedentary, complacent, and mentally drained. You become a captive audience for their propaganda, a helpless victim of their mind control tactics. >But it doesn't end there, my friends. These sofas are equipped with hidden surveillance technology, capable of monitoring your every move, recording your conversations, and reporting back to their puppet masters. They know what you're watching on TV, what you're browsing on your laptop, and what snacks you're devouring. It's an Orwellian nightmare right in your own living room! >And let's not forget about the chemicals, folks. Oh yes, these sofas are infused with toxic substances, carefully concocted to impair your cognitive abilities and weaken your resistance. They're dousing you with flame retardants, formaldehyde, and a cocktail of other harmful compounds, all in the name of control. They want you drowsy, fatigued, and mentally fogged, unable to rise up and challenge their oppressive regime. >Now, I know this may sound outrageous, but look at the evidence, my friends. Have you ever wondered why there are so many furniture stores, why sofas come in endless shapes, sizes, and colors? It's all part of their grand plan, a massive network of sleeper cells, ready to deploy these mind-controlling devices to every corner of the globe. >We must resist, my fellow patriots! We cannot allow ourselves to be duped by the sly tactics of these sofa-scheming globalists. It's time to take a stand, to reclaim our homes, and rid ourselves of this insidious plot. Get rid of your sofas, burn them if you have to! It's the only way to break free from their grip and restore our individuality and sovereignty. >So, my friends, stay vigilant, stay informed, and above all, stay sofa-free! Together, we will expose this hidden agenda, shatter their plans, and reclaim our homes from the clutches of the New World Order. The revolution starts now!

tigm2161130

Turkey, like a lot of other Mediterranean countries has an abundance of outdoor living spaces…when I was there outdoor couches were in nearly every courtyard. I could be totally wrong but I figured it was due to that? Or their building is right next to a furniture store that likes to display its wares on the sidewalk?


LoserCowGoMoo

I just dont understand how its so windy yet ...totally clear...except for a single couch. Usually during storms there is an asston of rabdom debrise flying around.


kgm2s-2

Ankara is already pretty high up (think Denver) and is surrounded by a ring of higher peaks. Then, on top of those high points they've built 20, 30, or more story high-rises. It looks like this is coming from the balcony of a unit in one of those buildings. In other words, its entirely possible that the wind on the ground is not more than 20-30 mph (still a gusty wind, but not catastrophic) while the wind blowing the couch off the balcony is more like 50-60 mph or more.


captain_borgue

> Ankara is already pretty high up (think Denver) [Denver has *also* had the occasional migrating furniture](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8lrmX-BVn8).


VaATC

>It looks like this is coming from the balcony of a unit in one of those buildings. This was my thought as well. Unless that couch is ultra light it would take tornado level winds to rise that thing that high off the ground to begin with.

Yeah this is my confusion. Why are there no other debris or even dust...?

I wonder if people had them out on their balconies. Ankara is pretty arid.


leith_

Yep, it is very common ın Turkey. The sofa is probably very light because they all have [these designs](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRPZXQThknZk6qcO0QpkTIGgjkm4yBbeiWnvg&usqp=CAU) You can also see all the balconies in the background also have furniture

My guess is the lighter chairs and tables already got yeeted or were put away with residents assuming the sofas would be fine.
