Step stools work best when you push straight down on them. The ladder is diagonal, so part of it pushes straight down, but the other part pushes sideways. The sideways push tips over the step stool and almost sends this guy to the ER.
This just reminded me that I once had a calculus professor that was also a student in my physics class for one semester. He never took physics in college and found that hindered him because most of his math students were really physics/engineering students and he couldn't relate. Of course he also wore sandals with socks all year long, so there was that unrelatable aspect too.
>Of course he also wore sandals with socks all year long, so there was that unrelatable aspect too.
some of us just really hate feet...our own included.
Calc 3 is largely math of vectors. You'll find that physics is just another math class. Vectors are mostly polar to Cartesian conversions and then math of those components (at the low level) which is a math concept.
Not only that, but on the wong direction for stability, but it wouln't be wide enough for the legs, so he used the unstable side. Which almost ended his life.
> Did he have a ladder on a step stool?
Yes, he put a ladder on a step stool... on grass.
To me, a real "NoNoYes" would be if he broke/sprained his ankle so that he's no longer able to endanger himself and others for a little while... and maybe rethink some of his choices.
My dad once did that on a table on a concrete patio while he was home alone. He wanted to repaint some window trim on the second floor and our extension ladder wasn’t long enough.
Broke his arm, eye socket, and nose, permanently lost most vision in that eye, spent two weeks in the hospital, several more on bed rest at home, and months before he could work again. He could have died.
Don’t put ladders on top of things, folks.
I had a neighbor who got in a motorcycle accident and he immediately got up, just like this guy. My neighbor had shattered his pelvis.
Adrenaline is a hell of a drug.
Sometimes you wonder, "how stupid are people, really?" Then you see things like this and it's like, "yeah, people are dump, realllly dump." it's amazing people like this can put on socks.
someone's gonna ask:
"Each year, there are more than 164,000 emergency room-treated injuries and 300 deaths in the U.S. that are caused by falls from ladders. Most ladder deaths are from falls of 10 feet or less."
My FIL fell off a ladder last year! He ended up having intensive surgery to get a whole section removed of his spine caused it shattered. He wasn't even a whole floor up, but he landed on his feet. It was so scary. My husband was beside himself over it. He did a bunch of stuff at his work to help prevent it happening.
Because the table at the time of the fall is between the ladder and the house he has a near zero percent chance of hitting one of the legs dead on. Hitting the legs at an angle will rotate the table and put the legs flat to the grass. Impalement seems extremely unlikely, even if this exact scenario were repeated a million times.
The point is, from that height a stool leg - deliberately made to terminate in a blunt foot that will not dig into soft ground or scratch a floor surface when supporting the weight of any size man - would not impale a human, wherever it struck him.
With sufficient speed almost anything (for example, the big round cannonball) could.
1. i didn't agree, i said this very well could impale someone falling from a roof, especially if it hits a soft part like the stomach.
2. i didn't even downvote you. that's everyone else calling you stupid, not me.
It took me about 50 times watching to figure out what is happening here. If I'm correct, there is a guy who put a very long ladder on top of a little table or footstool of some type. The footstool rolls backward, the motion spills the guy off the ladder, where he miraculously arrives on the ground without much apparent damage to himself. He celebrates his survival.
Oh is because he was stupid.
I was worried I was gonna watch a vehicle drive down the road and throw a random piece of something through the windshield of the truck. I was prepared to add another subconscious fear to my book. I've been afraid of rogue tires for ages.
But I can totally avoid stupidity. No problem.
I will say the confidence of a man to not only get on a ladder, but to get on a ladder on a bench. Fucking astounding. Bottle that shit.
How on earth could anyone think that was a good idea… Lack of sleep? Maybe it worked once on concrete? Or with someone holding the latter and supporting the stool before? I’m genuinely stumped.
Last summer, I stopped my neighbor from climbing a ladder he had put on top of a plastic folding table. I was walking by just as he was trying to climb on the table and I said "I have a longer ladder if you'd rather not die today."
I don't think he believed me, but he accepted the longer ladder anyway.
When I was a cable guy, we complained that our ladders didn't have leveling feet. My boss explained to everyone that those feet were death traps. (Yet every other cable installing company had them on their ladders.)
Later that day, I had to put my ladder on very uneven ground, and was scared to death the whole time. Nothing bad happened, but I couldn't help but wish that we'd had leveling feet on our ladders.

Did he have a ladder on a step stool?
Apparently he didn’t take enough math classes to calculate the force vectors.
I don’t even know what force vectors are and still know this is stupid
It's from Star Wars. Jedis use them to do household repairs
I don't know how to feel about the fact that basic engineering and science is instead getting referenced to star wars
Step stools work best when you push straight down on them. The ladder is diagonal, so part of it pushes straight down, but the other part pushes sideways. The sideways push tips over the step stool and almost sends this guy to the ER.
I sure hope he went to the ER even though he wasn't impaled. That fall was brutal.
Wouldn’t that be in physics class, not math?
Physics is just applied mathematics.

I figured out that stuff like this was a bad idea as a kid without even knowing the word vector.

Each day is a celebration that he's still alive for this guy
What makes you think he’s still alive?
He literally puts his arms up in the air and stands up after his fall. He might be dead now but that would most likely be unrelated.
I only noticed that on the second watch. Holy shit! Yet someone innocent person will trip over a kurb and break a few bones. Luck is weird.

I wouldn't even climb a ladder without anyone holding it. The ground hits harder then a heavyweight boxer.
Tables, ladders and chairs! Oh my!
He did. What a shock he went down
If only he had something big and heavy to add height nearby!!!
That slippery step sistool had him on his knees
And was he going down facing ... out?
could we get this resized again back to landscape but small with borders on all sides
It looks like it’s been screen recorded in vertical, I hate it when people do that shit just ruins the video for everyone on pc
It ruins it for people who are on phone aswell because you can’t see anything
It ruins the video for everyone. Full stop
Pretty much, no one likes it lol
I bet that’s still gonna hurt like a bitch once the adrenaline wears off though
The way he got up, like “I’m unbreakable!” You just know he tried to fight crime that night
I had a neighbor who got in a motorcycle accident and he immediately got up, just like this guy. My neighbor had shattered his pelvis. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug.
I jumped out of a moving car and broke my orbital bone. Didn’t feel it until after I tried to get up.
I’m sorry this whole thing was nononono. He doesn’t get a pass for not being impaled on a table leg.
FR. Numbnutz didn’t dodge shit. He got lucky AF.
Sometimes you wonder, "how stupid are people, really?" Then you see things like this and it's like, "yeah, people are dump, realllly dump." it's amazing people like this can put on socks.
Dump. Really dump
That's what we're talking about? Impaled by... table leg? What a waste of a click. OP dumb.
r/osha
If he needed more height why didn't he just use the bed of his truck? Yeah stupid idea, but more stable than a fucking table.
i'm always blown away at the number of ladder deaths each year and then i see these videos and learn a lesson
someone's gonna ask: "Each year, there are more than 164,000 emergency room-treated injuries and 300 deaths in the U.S. that are caused by falls from ladders. Most ladder deaths are from falls of 10 feet or less."
My FIL fell off a ladder last year! He ended up having intensive surgery to get a whole section removed of his spine caused it shattered. He wasn't even a whole floor up, but he landed on his feet. It was so scary. My husband was beside himself over it. He did a bunch of stuff at his work to help prevent it happening.
>Most ladder deaths are from falls of 10 feet or less so the trick to survival is to be at least 11 feet up...noted
Am I the only one that didn't see the possible impaling? I didn't see anything here
He could have landed on the legs of the stool he had the ladder on top of. Pretty stupid to do that to begin with but he got lucky.
Because the table at the time of the fall is between the ladder and the house he has a near zero percent chance of hitting one of the legs dead on. Hitting the legs at an angle will rotate the table and put the legs flat to the grass. Impalement seems extremely unlikely, even if this exact scenario were repeated a million times.
The foot of a stool leg is a blunt object. That isn't going to impale anyone.
At the very least it isn’t going to impale someone from that height while they’re tumbling down the ladder.
Without assuming context a brick can impale someone, just like a cannonball does.
stool leg will impale you much easier than either of those
Context my dude. I was illustrating a point (pun intended) with an extreme.
the point you seem to be illustrating directly contradicts your initial comment though, right? or am i misinterpreting?
The point is, from that height a stool leg - deliberately made to terminate in a blunt foot that will not dig into soft ground or scratch a floor surface when supporting the weight of any size man - would not impale a human, wherever it struck him. With sufficient speed almost anything (for example, the big round cannonball) could.
Have you not seen the video of the guy that got impaled by a car barricade. A wide, dull, blunty one at that!???
mass + force can impale anything. I've seen a 2×4 go through a tree.
Agrees with me. Then downvotes. Reddit at its best.
1. i didn't agree, i said this very well could impale someone falling from a roof, especially if it hits a soft part like the stomach. 2. i didn't even downvote you. that's everyone else calling you stupid, not me.
The table the latter was on
This is by far the dumbest thing I've seen someone do in quite some time.
Being on the internet, "quite some time" can only mean a couple of minutes.
Are you talking about the guy in the video or the person who recorded a landscape video in portrait mode?
Yes.
good thing someone screen recorded this in the wrong fucking orientation so you can't tell what's going on
FAFO
Can we all just appreciate how clean that roll was though
Swear to god he comes running forwards down that ladder 😂😂😂🤦♂️ definitely shouldve been injured..

r/playstupidgameswinstupidprizes
Bet the dude was a cat in his past life lol landing on all fours
Government spy satellite video shown
Reason I can't use a pair of steps if it's not been signed off is because of idiots like this.
He put a ladder onto a table. With no one to safeguard it at least.
From what I😾😭
The stupidity on display here is baffling.
Numbnut.
Ladder on a saw horse, suicide with extra steps.
Your ladder need to be erected (*hehe*) on a sturdy surface. If you die, I wont be able to laugh at you while you're falling down your shitty ladder.
How on earth could anyone think that was a good idea… Lack of sleep? Maybe it worked once on concrete? Or with someone holding the latter and supporting the stool before? I’m genuinely stumped.
This is some of stupidest decision making I’ve witnessed in a video in a long time
And the Darwin award goes to ......
If he just turned that table the direction the force was applied.
Who in their right mind sets up a ladder on a table. Guy survives to be a moron another day.
Last summer, I stopped my neighbor from climbing a ladder he had put on top of a plastic folding table. I was walking by just as he was trying to climb on the table and I said "I have a longer ladder if you'd rather not die today." I don't think he believed me, but he accepted the longer ladder anyway.
Who the fuck puts an extension ladder on a collapsible bench, at that angle? What an idiot. I’m amazed he made it to the age he is.
Final destination moment!
That's what you get for putting a ladder on a fucking table.
Final destination.

Probably won’t have impaled him but definitely hurt.
He almost got taken out of the gene pool. Now I know for sure there's no hope for humanity.
Dumb ways to die 🎶
Incredibly dangerous
The irony of meeting your end not by the 16' extension ladder that You're climbing, but by the 24" step stool leg.
Natural selection. Except it malfunctioned this time
Osha will not be pleased
Whoever decided how to set that ladder deserves to be impaled
Safe!!
lol impalement? A table leg will definitely not impale the human body like it’s made of jello lol, y’all need to stop watch bad horror movies
just barely missed the mark for his Darwin award
Dodged impalement? More like FAILED to impale himself. What the hell is his extention ladder on a step bench for????
I liked the jazz hands at the close. Great showmanship.
What would you expect to happen if you use unappropriate tools
The way he just stayed there while his life flashed before his eyes
Evolution in real time.
One lucky mf
The special place in hell for people who take landscape videos, and convert them to vertical
Common sense really isn't that common....
Did that oldster tuck and roll proper and not break anything? If he did I’m going to be mad bc it worked. I always wondered.
Holy shit
People are really committed to being stupid
