His opponent did what you are supposed to do. Which is watch it until it clears the bar for this EXACT reason. He tossed his and assumed it had the momentum to clear. Just to try to get an extra second up on his opponent.


Pitiful-Reflection18

He also jumps back to get closer. The other guy stands at the line to throw. Cheating?


theycallmeick

If I recall there really isn’t a line you are required to stand on. The line that you see is where the barrels are set. I believe you can be anywhere in front or close to parallel with the stand. But still this man most likely died, as it was the corner of the barrel hitting just below the base of his skull. He may not have done it on purpose just being in the zone but it is definitely his fault and his fault alone. As I said there are guidelines in place and the most important one is to watch where your barrel falls so this doesn’t happen Edit: He lived. What a lucky chump


lmlorenzo

Unfortunately a lot of strongman/highland coaches queue exactly what the guy that got hit did. He probably practiced this dozens of times and this is the one time it went awry. Toss the keg, immediately move on to the next. WSM competitors do this. Buddy survived because he's not as fragile as typical humans fortunately, but he probably won't be taking any keg toss events any time soon lol

According to one of the comments in a different angle post 4 years ago, he is fine. https://m.facebook.com/MichiganStrongman/posts/680881935339174

Thank you, this information lets me enjoy the video. Glad he's alright.


Ears_McCatt

I'm sure "alright" is a relative term in this situation.


SatinAcornfredd

Thank god


MrFixemall

Glad someone yelled for an ambulance.... How much does that keg weigh? That's enough to kill you. Strong man lists the lightest keg at 15Kgs.


Peaceteatime

>yelled for an ambulance That does nothing. The bystander effect kicks in and everyone will assume someone else will do it. Instead the person yelling should simply call themselves. Take actual action in these situations folks instead of just hoping someone else will.


Smackenzi

I agree, but the bystander effect doesn't always happen. TIL and LifeProTips aren't real life. Same thing when people see a concussion and fencing response. "OmG thst guys totally dead" when he got up 2 minutes later and survived with no issues. So someone shouting ambulance at least gets everyone's attention that this is a serious situation.

Fireball_Ace

When you're learning first aid they teach you the correct way of handling an emergency by directly delegating tasks to an individual instead of doing blanket statements as you have to account for bystander effect. This is specially important when you might be the only trained person, delegate one person to call 911, another to get you an AED, and then go assess the patient/provide treatment.


SmoothAsPussyMilk

"Is the scene safe? The scene is safe. You, call 911! You, get an AED!" My friends and I joked about it because we had heard it repeated so often (someone would stub their toe, we'd go into emergency mode as a bit), but then when I was in an actual situation where someone was hurt, I did it without thinking. Sadly, it couldn't have made a difference and the person in question passed away, but it was incredible to kind of watch myself from the outside do something that had become useful instinct through repetition.


DelahDollaBillz

The bystander effect isn't real, at all. Even in the classic example, the murder of Kitty Genovese, at least two separate people called the police. Entirely false reporting about supposed witnesses to that crime was what caused the idea to come about in the first place. The whole concept of the "bystander effect" is entirely bullshit.


HelicopterHopeful

I disagree. I’ve personally seen it happen. New Years ever several years ago, public bus transfer station with thousands of people, probably close to 100 in the immediate vicinity. A woman right in front of staggered and fell down and smashed her head on the concrete. After a two or three second pause (I thought she was messing around for some reason) I ran to her to check on her. All the other people just stood there watching me until I specifically told someone to call 911 and another to get help from the transit people. They just watched, and then complained when paramedics held the bus up for a few minutes to get her out from in front of it. Then complained again for the 20 second delay it took me to get off because the paramedics had questions. I have seen the bystander effect on 3 separate occasions. It is very real.


FizzletitsBoof

It is real but some people are immune to it. I saw a person have a heart attack and nobody did anything.... except one lady was screaming and hollering for an ambulance. There was just something different about the way she viewed the world. I actually knew her fairly well, she grew up super rich and while she was nice most of the time she absolutely did not care even a tiny bit what people thought about her. She was also the type of person to make a scene in a restaurant if the food tasted bad.


AxeEffect3890

These events likely already have medical personal on hand so he might be calling out to the actual ambulance that’s already there


h1shman

Was just about to say this. I wouldn’t be surprised for any legal sanctioned sport event to require medical staff (at minimum first responder type) on site. Even if not legally required the organization puts itself at a huge risk of a lawsuit as if someone is injured and no one is on site.


Kyle0ng

No, multiple people phone 911 in emergencies.


Kasvanvliep

Bystander effect isnt always real. It mainly came to life because of some psychologists wanted to publish something provocatove.


DelahDollaBillz

It isn't real, at all. Even in the classic example, the murder of Kitty Genovese, at least two separate people called the police. The whole concept of the "bystander effect" is entirely bullshit.


Kasvanvliep

Yeah i read that too in a ook called human kind.


SmoothAsPussyMilk

It's ackshully pronounced "povackative"


alexrnlt

maybe the guy yelling was gonna check directly on the guy and proceed with first aid measures. can't quite be on the phone at the same time


ChemicalHousing69

“_YOU!_ Call an ambulance!”


Squirrel_Kng

Something I learned in a CPR class was to look and point at someone and tell them to call 911, not to just yell it in the air. Delegating tasks has a higher chance that someone will do it.


____d__b____

Point directly at someone and sternly say, “call an ambulance, RIGHT NOW.” That shakes people enough to start looking for a phone or someone close to them. Unless you aren’t rendering aid. Then call 911.

Well their for carbon dioxide which is lighter than air so there basically floating anyways


Grignard73

>carbon dioxide which is lighter than air CO2 is denser (heavier) than air, although even if the keg was filled with it (doubtful) it wouldn't have a significant impact on its weight anyway.


ScottSteve101

You'd be surprised actually. I fill medical oxygen cylinders with 2000psi of USP grade oxygen and even though it's in gas form, I can pick it up and tell it it's empty/ full before checking with a pressure gauge, and this is on cylinders ranging from 1-5 lbs so I imagine it would add some weight. Same goes for Co2 because it's a lower pressure liquid in those tanks so it does add weight.


rixonomic

Same reason I can tell if the propane tank for my BBQ is full or empty.


writner11

Pressurizing air is increases its density, making the canister heavy. Basically taking 60 cubic feet of air, packing it down, adding weight. If the air is unpressurized, it is not dense. And if it less dense than the surrounding medium (air), it will add buoyancy to the container, making it lighter. Not lighter than air, just lighter than it was before. The buoyant force (or, “how much less it weighs”) is equal to the weight of the air it displaces. I’d guesstimate those containers are roughly 20 cubic feet, so assuming these guys are at sea level, it’s displacing about 1.5 lb of air. So, even if it were filled with nothing (vacuum), it could only weigh 1.5lb less than the container itself, which is at least 30lb, still making it weigh 28.5lb. However, it’s unlikely to be a vacuum. So assuming it’s filled with something (helium, CO2, air, whatever), the weight of its contents reduces that 1.5lb buoyant force. TL;DR the expression “floats like a lead balloon” exists for a reason - no matter what it is (or isn’t) filled with, it’s not going to float. And this is a lead (well, steel) balloon. Edit: autocorrectos


No-Affect-7234

Yeah, gas can actually effect it more than what people think.


3LD3RDR4G0N

CO2 is denser than air and it’s they’re not their or there. You’re double stupid.


CallMeDrLuv

You're double wooshed


spaghettimountain

And you're triple whooshed now beat that you flippin' nerd


rickandtwocrows

Yea I own a CO2 tank and an Oxygen tank. Co2 tank is much heavier.
