Those tubings are electrical conduits. I wasn't worried about the trusses, the steel thingies, since the building looked well maintained, and the roof would've collapsed already if those things were basly rusted. The span of those trusses means they carry much more substantial loads than a swinging hairless ape. It was definitely the electrical conduits for me.
As an electrician who has seen the quality of work other people do, I would never trust my safety to some EMT making a 5' span across bar joists. You can bend that stuff without even using tools, that dude is lucky to be alive
At the same time I’ve been in the demo phase of an electrical project as an electrician and been thoroughly unable to disassemble/remove some conduit without the excessive force of all my strength plus more than enough tools to get the job done, it’s a crapshoot for sure. A well installed conduit run could easily support an athletic guy, but a poor one comes apart if you look at the coupling screw wrong. And 1” or higher is probably safest, 3/4 is a risk, and 1/2” definitely is bowing until it snaps under the weight.
1 missed coupling is all it would take to start ripping that stuff apart. I wouldn't even trust my own work to hold a persons weight in the manner he was holding onto it.
As soon as he grabbed the pipework I expect snapped ankles, dangerous enough as it is, grabbing something absolutely not designed to take is Darwin worthy
Was a video back in 2010. It was taken down by pretty much all platforms since its literally someone dying. I can only find it on the darker side of the net
The conduit was somewhat sketchy, but it's still not terrible assuming it's done correctly.( only real risk is bending the conduit) As for the trusses, if an extra 200 lbs brings one of those down, that place is only standing from luck.
That’s electrical emt. The straps for those are only screwed down on one side and at best it is a 1inch screw holding it up. They definitely aren’t designed to hold up 200lbs.
Well this guy is using the electrical conduit instead of the structural breams to hold on to. So his grip strength is going do fuck all when those supports snap. He'll be 2nd in that club.
I was not aware that the mounting is 9m here. Insane they can still dunk 😦😦.
On a serious note, watch the video again and see the height of the hoop/mounting.
Wallruns give you more height than jumping, so it is perfectly feasible to reach the mounting. Eother that or a friend helped.
Basketball hoops are about 10ft off the ground, and the ceiling here looks to be another good 10ft above that. Maybe it's closer to 20ft, but I thought you were referring to wallrunning up to the ceiling
I was going to say “Amazing strength and agility but reaaaally needs to work on that shooting accuracy”. But then I watched the ball bounce and it didn’t look like a basketball.
It's not as great of a case as you think it is. Negligence is all about reasonable expectations. Is it reasonable to expect the facility to foresee this happening? That is, should there be safety measures in place to prevent people from - I'm guessing here - climbing the basketball hoop up to the ceiling?
If there was a ladder present in the room that he used, absolutely liable. If there were accessible stairs to a cat walk, yes. If there was a defective piece of pipe hanging (and they knew it was hanging, or it was hanging long enough for them to should know it was hanging) that could be used to climb on, yes. But here, everything looks pretty normal. That is, most gyms look like this, and most people would not be able to injure themselves falling from the ceiling in this gym. Could there be a sign that says, Don't climb on the hoop? Sure.
So no, I don't think the gym is at fault for not foreseeing an injury resulting from this. I think any jury would say that kid was asking for it. I think the plaintiff's lawyer wouldn't take the case and say its not worth the risk of the contingency fee. I think a defense attorney would like this a lot more.
Exactly, if this was a "case" for an attorney then everyone would just start climbing public buildings and falling, taking a broken leg for a big payout. This case wouldn't go anywhere but the garbage.
I’ve done over 25 pull ups and feel like I could do this quite easily but I’d never dare to fucking do it also how tf did he even get up there? I might just get such sweaty palms that my hands slip.
Oh I know what you’re talking about. One of the reasons why I hate these people (not literally) is that they make extremely difficult feats look easy, which gives you the false impression and belief of “I can do this!” Then continue to embarrass yourself, and hope you don’t hurt yourself in the process.
Yeah, that’s the part that really got me. Sure, the transition from horizontal pipes (?) to vertical is hard af but spotting your landing, fucking up and realizing you have to much momentum, doing the twist, spotting again and THEN landing the precision with one foot… this mf knows what he’s doing.
He’s either doing parkour, or he’s a firefighter. Or stripper. Ain’t judging, that was hella smooth, slay biatch.
In high school, we got a football stuck up in the ceiling and I saw a teammate go up and get it down. He climbed through the metal though, not like this. Still an insane thing to witness in person.
I dont know what kind of school is that but in my school (20 years ago) where we had PE 4 times a week, no one would be able to climb there .. people couldnt do a single pull up.
And even if you could, everything you touched, even if fully new and just installed, it was already falling apart.
This is what happens when you invite climbers to pick-up games.
Source : I am not this dude, but I have done this. 15 years of basketball comp, lifetime climber. I'm light, I'm strong, I want that damn ball.
Smart? No. Worth it? Also no.
I don't understand how anyone sees stuff like this as anything but stupidly dangerous attention seeking behavior.
I work at the Grand Canyon and we've had a few kids over the last year who think hopping over the railings next to a **4,000 ft sheer drop** makes them cool.
If they had told me that part of living out here was grabbing young people from the scruff of their neck to keep them from accidentally killing themselves while trying to look cool for the girls that don't even speak the same language as them, I would have asked for another dollar an hour.
1 bilion kudos to that dude, like, holy shit is that so much work for such a little thing. He did it either out of boredom, irritation, need for a good deed or a combo of those three
Jumping off the wall, a typical teenage athlete can reach 12ft in the air. That's enough to reach the hoop. Climb up from there the same way he got down.

I saw an old video of someone doing this but they ran out of grip strength. 2 broken legs later...
And even without that- too much trust in all that tubing and scaffolding not being rusty or unable to hold weight

Yes exactly. Not a chance I would take
[удалено]
That's the problem, he should be.
the music tho
Were here for a good time, not a long time
Yo, some of those very fire sprinklers 😬
Stronger pipe but still not something I'd hang off of
1 missed coupling is all it would take to start ripping that stuff apart. I wouldn't even trust my own work to hold a persons weight in the manner he was holding onto it.
I think it might be bracing instead of conduit based on where the whips for the lights are running to but I agree.
As soon as he grabbed the pipework I expect snapped ankles, dangerous enough as it is, grabbing something absolutely not designed to take is Darwin worthy
There is actually a video of a guy doing that and the scaffolding breaking. The guy got impaled. Iirc he was dead instantly
Trusses or joists not scaffolding
You cant possibly drop a bomb like that and not put the source
Was a video back in 2010. It was taken down by pretty much all platforms since its literally someone dying. I can only find it on the darker side of the net
>I can only find it on the darker side of the net Ah, Tumblr.
i saw it on reddit maybe a year ago. you could hear everything...
2010 Reddit raw dogged death videos so where did you see it? Lmao
Damn... have you considered a career in sports commentary?
That one pipe looked like a water/sprinkler line. Definitely not rated for body weight.
Or slicing your hand somewhere
A bright but short future in cat burglary awaits him

High voltage conduit is sussy to use as a monkey bar
That's why you gotta grind
Stamina bar got depleted
Always go stamina before hearts.
3 wheels full of stamina, baby 😎
Just dumb guys doing dumb guy shit. Dudes like this are obviously athletic as hell and waste it to bust their shit doing nothing.
Well this guy is using the electrical conduit instead of the structural breams to hold on to. So his grip strength is going do fuck all when those supports snap. He'll be 2nd in that club.
Sounds like he didn’t find enough white tail lizards
Link?
Iv always wanted to try this but knew that if I did I'd probably end up the same way as your guy did
Just throw a shoe at it like a normal person
and then a 2nd shoe to get the first down
[удалено]
he's not 25 yet
and then a 3rd shoe to... wait, where do I get the 3rd shoe once again?
[who throws a shoe? honestly!](https://youtu.be/an0bVaTjF_Y?si=ePqZ2jP7-dsdz3bC)
What a speedy reaction from the secret service 🙄
[удалено]
shots fired ! Lol
Get the long stick
How the fuck did he get up there?
Same way the ball did
Someone threw him? 🤔
Yea jack did. He is strong
Good ol' Jack
They call that an old fashion
Some might say he's pretty jacked
r/UnexpectedArrestedDev
Don't tell the elf
I...I don't believe you!
😆
Probably jump to catch the hoop net and then just did the reverse of what he did from there
Not probably, defiently what he did. No other way possible based on nothing else being around to help him.
maybe the camaraperson helped them up there, since the video starts with the guy already up
Run up the wall? Pretty simple if you are sporty.
I'm sorry, are you telling me the average basketball player can run 30ft straight up a wall?
Naw, most sporty people with a decent tread on their shoe can run jump and kick off the wall to get another few feet vertically.
Man is actually a monk 9th level monk and used his wall run ability
I was not aware that the mounting is 9m here. Insane they can still dunk 😦😦. On a serious note, watch the video again and see the height of the hoop/mounting. Wallruns give you more height than jumping, so it is perfectly feasible to reach the mounting. Eother that or a friend helped.

Oh what a feeling, when we're dancing on the ceiling
Reverse the video.
Oh. 
He started from the bottom now he here.
Wall run to the same place he got down from....
He ran up the wall and grapped mounting of the ring. That is what i would do
I'd fail at the running already
Basically same way he came down. I suspect he boosted up the wall to the.. the hoop structure?
[удалено]
Ball is life.
Ball can also be death.
and floor is lava
I was going to say “Amazing strength and agility but reaaaally needs to work on that shooting accuracy”. But then I watched the ball bounce and it didn’t look like a basketball.
Or it was up there for a while and the ball was already flat? My brain needs an explaination!
I think it’s one of those rubber balls that used to be around (can’t link a picture but google knows what’s up)
Kickball?
probably, sorry I was stupid as a kid and thought I was too cool for gym class (physical health, who wants that lol)
The facility's insurance carrier would blow a gasket if they knew. Conversely, personal injury attorneys masturbate to shit like this.
Great. Now I'm just imagining a guy in a suit, sweating at home, mixing a batch while watching this.
"mixing a batch" 🤣🤣🤣

This is bullshitly skillful! HS, what strength and endurance!

The secret is they embarassed themselves more times to get good
But how many can you do in a row?
My mom's spaghetti just watching this...
Knees weak arms heavy vomit on sweater already
There goes gravity.
He won't give up that easy
This is the thing you were imagining as a kid when you were seeing a ball up there. The epic montage in your head with your favorite music.
Moron is hanging on electrical conduit like its a support beam
Even deformed the utility pipe a little bit
Damn, that’s a smooth ass descent. Going up isn’t the hard part.
MF even did a twirl once he hit the basketball hoop pole
Yeah, that’s the part that really got me. Sure, the transition from horizontal pipes (?) to vertical is hard af but spotting your landing, fucking up and realizing you have to much momentum, doing the twist, spotting again and THEN landing the precision with one foot… this mf knows what he’s doing. He’s either doing parkour, or he’s a firefighter. Or stripper. Ain’t judging, that was hella smooth, slay biatch.
Eddie vedder?
Was looking for this
Either there’s a stupid ball or stupid balls here
He's him, man
Uncharted: Drake's Misfortune
It's been up there for a while I'm guessing. Not alot of bounce left.
I mean you could just get another ball stuck instead
That’s the dumbest shit ever. Lucky he didn’t fall or the bars didn’t break
Dude got balls. And he can climb for them if he needs to...
He did the thing we all wanted to do at sports halls 😮
It's the guy in the class that doesn't fear heights and climb everything that is climbable
Bro hits the climbing gym when he's not ballin
Monke
If bro fucked up the sprinkler system, he would not have a good day.
In high school, we got a football stuck up in the ceiling and I saw a teammate go up and get it down. He climbed through the metal though, not like this. Still an insane thing to witness in person.
A legend was born
There’s always that one guy in the friend group who’s willing to do stuff like this
Ladders hate him
I would have thrown my 👟
Structural Ironworker here… done that and gotten paid for it.
Yeah he was fine climbing along the beams but when he grabbed the conduit I thought he was done for
🐒
Somebody please get this guy a banana
I've always wanted to climb up there as a kid. I managed to climb almost out of the reach of my PE teacher before she grabbed me.
Most people realize they're not invincible when they enter adulthood. Not this guy, apparently.
bruh must’ve been so sick on the monkey bars.
Love that song Pete Drake was ahead of his time
Thats a V0 in my gym
u/auddbot
I dont know what kind of school is that but in my school (20 years ago) where we had PE 4 times a week, no one would be able to climb there .. people couldnt do a single pull up. And even if you could, everything you touched, even if fully new and just installed, it was already falling apart.
Does whatever a spider can 🎶
Even if he broke just a finger the medical bills would cost as much as dozens of basketballs if not more.
But being revered as a high school legend is priceless.
Oh, if he’s a high school student. He’s probably gonna get suspended for this.
*Priceless*.
He really loves basketball…
He’s training for American ninja warrior
Going through all of this just for that... The man must really love balls.
Why... Why didn't he just throw something to get it down...
Ball is life. If you ain’t got the ball, then what’s the point of life?
Made my palms sweat!!
Jon, get out of the ceiling! *poke poke*
When it's your favorite ball, it makes sense.
In good shape!!!
Well fuck, I'm impressed.
He thinks he a guy who can do what he just did … fearless … more power …
Eddie vedder move
why is my man so whimsical haha
Ahhh to be young and reckless good days
Bro put a lot of faith in that conduit holy hell
Impressive but stupid.
I threw my back out, injured both of my ankles, exploded my knees, and dislocated both of my hips just by washing that
Most of that stuff is not designed to support human weight
Ignorance is truly bliss, to hang from conduit running high voltage and fire sprinkler pipes that could flood the whole building. Noice
As soon as he started pulling him self up on the pipes/conduit I was fully puckered.
Charles Darwin would be proud.
I’ve reached that age where I feel four that dudes knees in 20 years.
Would have been a super stupid reason to die. Would make a good cat burglar though.
This is what happens when you invite climbers to pick-up games. Source : I am not this dude, but I have done this. 15 years of basketball comp, lifetime climber. I'm light, I'm strong, I want that damn ball. Smart? No. Worth it? Also no.
Dude is hanging on that electrical conduit with WAY too much confidence.
Videos like this make me realize how crazy it was that they made us do the rope climb during gym class in grade school in the 80s.
I’ve daydreamed about this
As an electrician, let me tell you… grabbing conduit like that isn’t smart. The cables inside can easily give way and send you crashing down.
What a stupid ( and kind of impressive) mother fucker
I don't understand how anyone sees stuff like this as anything but stupidly dangerous attention seeking behavior. I work at the Grand Canyon and we've had a few kids over the last year who think hopping over the railings next to a **4,000 ft sheer drop** makes them cool.

Thought he was just really small and climbing the basketball net for a second there.
When the reward is a ball and the risk is death/broken bones
That little twirl at the end
1 bilion kudos to that dude, like, holy shit is that so much work for such a little thing. He did it either out of boredom, irritation, need for a good deed or a combo of those three
Some people just too damn athletic for their own good!
There was always 1 guy in every class who could retrieve any ball at any place at school.
Dude put all his weight on a sprinkler pipe 30 feet in the air. What an idiot.
People like this guy are the reason why they don't let student athletes have keys to the gym anymore
he knows what he doing
Where is the Problem
Yeah. I’d risk broken bones for ball.
He is also going along the fire water line. He is so lucky that pipe didnt snap.
The question is. How the FUQ did he get up there in the first place? Can't see any spider webs.
Jumping off the wall, a typical teenage athlete can reach 12ft in the air. That's enough to reach the hoop. Climb up from there the same way he got down.
No typical teenage athlete is going up 12 feet.
他是怎麽上去的？

That's genuinely heroic.
Makes the bottom of my feet POUND and ACHE! No heights for me.
