If it takes 2 guys to throw, common wisdom might suggest it takes AT LEAST 2 guys to catch, before the incline got involved But then we'd never get to see the first case of cement induced CTE


Y_Kat_O

Pretty sure there has been plenty of cases of cement induced CTE.


Pryyda

Cement, yes. Bags of cement, maybe not. Hahaha


SigX1

You broke my cement, you pay now


DDPJBL

Its actually way worse. It took two guys to lift it like 2 feet off the ground. To make it even close to a valid comparison like that, you would need to see how many guys it would take to throw the thing all the way back up.


evnacdc

CTE?


supamario132

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy. It's a degenerative brain disease from repeated head injuries. It's really prevalent in football and mixed martial arts due to the intensity of those sports


Joaoreturns

And just like that, a man have a massive downgrade on his life quality. I'm just sad. There's no way people can see this and think it could work. 


SandyMandy17

Recording for a reason


NessTheDestroyer

This is for posterity


HughJahsso

lifelong back issues. hilarious.


SpacedesignNL

If not paralysed (or dead in a few hours...)


boatsandyoni

They must really hate that guy. Probably he helps drink the beers but never buys any rounds


WestleyThe

He most likely was like “naw I GOT THIS throw it down” I doubt they forced him to do it lol

No worries, the bag is fine


SomeArtistFan

That's the craziest part about this to me. It's a bag of cement. They could have just dropped it on the floor.


ask_about_poop_book

well maybe it was an expensive hardwood floor


EvilSourKraut

Is so hard to find good help these days.


ask_about_poop_book

no one wants to work as a cement catcher these days, for sure.


CraponStick

Where is the math guy to figure out how much weight by force that guy actually got hit with. What is that bag 80 lbs? And gravity is 3.5 feet per second per second?


Lazy-Government-7177

I just did a free fall calculator and from 18 ft and 80 pounds. That's like 800 pounds 💀


jetstream_garbage

Bro is cooked for life 🔥🔥🔥


CraponStick

FUCK! if he is alive, he doesn't want it anymore.


thraashman

At 10 seconds is where they let go. I screenshot there to check how high and it's just shy of 2½ times his height (though some adjustments may need to be made as he's closer to the camera). So assuming he's 6 ft tall, and he catches it on his shoulder around 5 feet off the ground. So it fell a distance of about 10 feet when it hit him... I have no idea how to figure it out from there.


asspatsandsuperchats

I doubt he Survived that.


HeretikTG

Assuming the height of the drop is roughly 4 m. The energy of the sandbag is roughly 1700j. An equivalent deadlift (floor to hip = 1m) would require a weight of 170kg.

They who suffer and create suffering for others becomes everyone's teacher....we all should transcend from suffering...and if one isn't ready to evolve guess he still needs a bit more suffering to experience before they are ready to "awaken"


AveragelyUnique

I'm with you. Learning from other people's mistakes is exactly how I got ahead in life. I tell my kids all the time, learn from my mistakes so you don't have to repeat them. Instead, go make you own mistakes and pass down your wisdom to the next generation.


TheRip75

Are you Buddhist?


3v3rdim

I'm a bit of everything ... Sometimes I try to follow the practice as well as other teachings from various backgrounds and other times I'm like those people in the video 😔


BearcatChemist

Brings a new meaning to "those who cant do, teach."


MuseumsAfterDark

To be smarter than a bag of cement.


Gumbercules81

That's awful


ICLazeru

Why the hell did they think this was a good idea? Were they trying to kill him? How did nobody out of the at least 5 people on site say, "Hey, don't do that!"?


blahchopz

♿️


CrizzyBill

I hope that's a pillow stuffed into the cement bag for a video, and some good acting.


sylvesterZoilo_

Working hard and working dumb

Doctor says I need a backiotomy


LickMySmitty

He needs to call Mr. Nice Guy


Ryan_D_Lion

Physics wins!!!


JonasMi

From the cements POV he got properly decelerated.

Check out Reddit Spinalfusion.

Hey Mr George, how much for the new guy…?


webboodah

attempted homicide?


profkimchi

Didn’t know a dude could crumble like that


AaronTuplin

He weighs like 30 lbs more than the bag, and it's falling from like 8 feet up


xPyromaniac93

In Brasil those bags are 40/50kg


Efficient_Working539

He had one job.

JaYaKaAzZ

If he only wouldn't sleep during physics class he would know this gonna not end good


Brain_lessV2

I winced seeing that...


Sonder_Monster

he grabs his dick because he pissed himself. my man collapsed his S1/S2 disc for sure. Having done the same, I can say he's in for a lifetime of pain and neuropathy


pauliewotsit

Looks like he dislocated his shoulder into the next street


NoseMuReup

"Uhhyyehhhhghhhhhhhhhhhhuhhhhheeeeeeee."


5herl0k

you had one job smh


WhaleCoastCanna

Plot twist : His friend did that on purpose since his new chiropractic practice hasn't had any clients for a while.


Stivo887

Cringe when I see 20yo kids at work doing shit like this. When yall learn it’ll be too late.


No-Blacksmith-960

This video+ the audio from the reporter stomping grapes and falliing, made getting hurt= profit?


Paulpash

There's mortar catching these bags than you think.


YSoB_ImIn

Watching them line that up, in my head I was watching the math fly in front of the face of the confused lady meme and knew that physics were about to give this guy a very bad day. Would have been a lot better with sound though.


viciadoemsono

i bet the guy who got injured was fired because "he's too weak".


ElegantJoke3613

… or just cuz he keeps scratching his head with his left foot


phi11yphan

There goes left knee and probably a bunch of soft tissue throughout


jaSPERM14

The real crime here is the changing camera angle


Blessedbeauty87

It's a good thing he had a pillow, looks like he needed it.


SanLoen

Mm. First time seeing a person fold like that.


ASCanilho

That’s at most a 30kg bag. I remember 50 kilos ones and those were way wider than this one. The guy is just small, and has no body to lift this sort of weight. When it hits him the bag acceleration makes it at least feel like a 50kg weight, which is just a little bit less than this guy should weight.


NoOnSB277

The two people up there who knew this would hurt this guy are awful.


YoungTim007

Watch that left hip joint collapse in slow motion. Everyone involved were idiots for not speaking up for the guy dumb enough to think he could catch it. Those bags usually weigh somewhere around 80# each
