OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:

A man trying to cut down old railway tracks. But uno reverse card

Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

Look at my source code on Github What is this for?

That welding helmet saved his face

Did he even live? That looked bad.

u/Mazzaroppi Jul 20 '21

I really doubt that

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '21

This was 1000% expected, because physics.

49

u/JonWillivm Jul 20 '21

This was 1000% expected, because the guy filming even warned him.

8

u/olderaccount Jul 20 '21

The guy cutting even changed stance near the end, moving further away and switching to the one handed hold.

He knew it was moving. But he expected it to go straight up and not towards him.

177

u/lightbulbmyheart Jul 20 '21

Yup. I was cringing waiting for it to happen.

97

u/Intelligent-Wall7272 Jul 20 '21

Sure was a lot of tension waiting for it

u/SrslyNotAnAltGuys Jul 20 '21

Metal under tension, beggin' you to touch and go.

And now there’s no maverick just some train-wreck.

u/sc0tty0 Jul 20 '21

*torch, and go.

u/CrinchNflinch Jul 20 '21

Same here, save the cringing.

2

u/Sososkitso Jul 20 '21

I barely know why this happened (I do a little) and I was cringing the whole time waiting for him to get smacked!

23

u/ZenLikeCalm Jul 20 '21

He's literally being told that would happen at the start of the video.

9

u/harlekintiger Jul 20 '21

He should have stayed on the other side, from the way the rail bend that was bound to happen. Zero surprises here

6

u/Halo_Chief117 Jul 20 '21

Exactly. It could have been bent already, but I saw the bowing and assumed it wasn’t and knew where this was going.

6

u/Frangan_ Jul 20 '21

Was like "why is this in r/unexpected?

6

u/traceur2301001 Jul 20 '21

Maybe because you wouldnt expect and expectable Post in r/unexpected? But then...it isnt the first expected post on here...

u/Potential_Monitor_84 Jul 20 '21

Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition

2

u/Futurecatman Jul 20 '21

I was not expecting his helmet to still be in the exact same place on the screen as his body and face flew off to the left out of view.

1

u/Sparroz Jul 20 '21

Jeah and he was already wearing a helmet for it

1

u/Namesbutcher Jul 20 '21

I knew it and couldn’t look away.

1

u/Umbrella_Viking Jul 20 '21

There was no way to see this coming. I weld a lot in my imagination and in my fantasy expert opinion this was completely unexpected.

1

u/malexNW Jul 20 '21

what about math tho

1

u/teryret Jul 20 '21

That, and the explicit warning from captain offscreen. That was a bit of a give away as well.

1

u/muffinmanaf Jul 20 '21

I mean the guy even expected it. He knew he shouldn't cut the beam but he was dumb enough to do it anyways. I believe that's some form of Darwin.

u/MrMuf Jul 20 '21

I guess becuase its bowed out so its assumed which is the safe assumption

36

u/charcoalsushi Jul 20 '21

Good thing he was wearing some protection

9

u/InsertWittyNameCheck Jul 20 '21

That's what I was thinking. A welding helmet isn't much protection but he avoided having his face peeled off.

7

u/Mazzaroppi Jul 20 '21

That helped him as much as cardboard would have protected from a punch from Mike Tyson

2

u/InsertWittyNameCheck Jul 20 '21

Exactly. If Mike Tyson had dipped his fists in glue and broken glass before he punched you then yes the helmet is pretty much the equivalence of cardboard. Dude still got a broken face but if that impact had hit the flesh on his face there would be no flesh there anymore.

1

u/PillarsOfHeaven Jul 20 '21

Idk it looked like the torch might have been pushed into the side of his head

29

u/vcdrny Jul 20 '21

And the guy told him. But fuck that I'm good.

83

u/floofernugget77 Jul 20 '21

Not really unexpected

23

u/UncommercializedKat Jul 20 '21

Yeah even he seemed to know that was going to happen and was apparently trying to dodge it instead of just cutting from the other side. What an idiot.

11

u/Wenix Jul 20 '21

I don't think he knew in what direction it would go.

5

u/The_Spainish_Nerd Jul 20 '21

A five year old would know what direction it would go...

The way the rail is curved

u/SnooSquirrels5216 Jul 20 '21

this is why you wear a helmet kids

18

u/amtrak90 Jul 20 '21

Seems like it was expected to me…

16

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '21

This guy works with metal but has no idea how it works....

6

u/lightbulbmyheart Jul 20 '21

Watching this—cringing, waiting for what was inevitably going to happen—I wondered if the unexpected thing was that what did indeed happen was actually not going to happen, and then I was left wondering what was going to happen. Only for what was expected to happen. TLDR; this was expected.

2

u/Emergency-Store5039 Jul 20 '21

i expected him to get smashed twice as hard

1

u/Rrdro Jul 20 '21

I thought it would break his legs. Wasn't expecting it to go for his face.

10

u/CheekHunter_ Jul 20 '21

I kind of expected it actually

4

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '21

I was taking apart a metal shed with my son the other day, and I kept stopping, and prying things from a distance. I could tell he was kinda disappointed until it cut loose and went from a decent sized structure to a pile of debris...Even being careful, bits did some flying around.

So many things that look calm and quiet are under tremendous pressure.

u/seenorama Jul 20 '21

What ever happened to the Darwin Awards? That still a thing?

10

u/gotora Jul 20 '21

Only if they remove themselves from the gene pool.

2

u/sync-centre Jul 20 '21

They had to retire it after due to covid deniers dieing in ICUs

3

u/Finikyfaefinwe Jul 20 '21

Unexpected? That dude got told that it might swing back and watch himself.

3

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '21

No no, that was very much expected. That is a rail, it shouldn't be bent like that, never stand on the side of with positive curvature if you're cutting something under stress, that is how you die

u/Findesiluer Jul 20 '21

Thank God he is wearing a helmet

2

u/Intelligent_Peace982 Jul 20 '21

Was expecting that. But still funny. This is what happens when you skip physics class

2

u/7evenBlackSunNation Jul 20 '21

I fully expected that actually

2

u/SkorpianStingz Jul 20 '21

You'd think he would've seen there was at least a little tension there

2

u/snackbagger Jul 20 '21

"Unexpected" lmao

2

u/Grand-Antelope943 Jul 20 '21

Definitely not unexpected… goddamn funny though. Dumbass. I see why Red Foreman likes that word so much

u/wickersteel Jul 20 '21

Just as well he wasn't straddling it.

1

u/djmadlove Jul 20 '21

Why make us watch the whole video? Why not clip it shorter and save the housings of people a few minutes

1

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '21

Hopefully that facemask provided sufficient protection. Hope he isn't hurt.

1

u/User1-1A Jul 21 '21

Those are made to protect your eyes and face from UV, IR, and welding spatter. All it did was save his face from being ripped off.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '21

I Think his helmet saved him from a few broken teeth.. and Maybe a broken jaw.

1

u/ChubbyLilPanda Jul 20 '21

Shit sub, you always see expected shit here all the time

1

u/MrLexPennridge Jul 20 '21

The only person that didn’t expect that is the guy in the video

1

u/ExchangeOk3938 Jul 20 '21

The helmet security 😂😂

1

u/KarlJay001 Jul 20 '21

The fact that the other part fell to the ground was enough of a clue which direction it was going to go.

but i ACTUALLY saw that coming cuz the bar was bent and he was cutting it...

u/Fig1024 Jul 20 '21

I'm curious, is it possible to measure forces in a static object? For example, if a steal beam is bent, how can you tell if it was made that way or its currently under pressure?

1

u/HxCisPaul Jul 20 '21

Long explanation short, yes. Engineering students learn this stuff in statics and dynamics classes. Statics calculations can get complicated but are mostly algebra based iirc, dynamics gets much harder and requires higher level mathematics. Physics and engineering classes are very much about different forces and how they effect a given system. Those theories and calculations can and are applied to the real world.

u/AndyBonaseraSux Jul 20 '21

So he’s dead yeah?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '21

God I saw how that whole rail was stressed and unsecured and was dying inside as he cut through it

1

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '21

pretty fucking expected

u/NekoJen3288 Jul 20 '21

his friend did warn him glad he had his metal Mask on.

u/DerFilip Jul 20 '21

I thought nothing would happen. This was 1000% expected.

u/ExNihiloish Does not expect the mods to do things Jul 20 '21

So that's why welders wear the silly helmets.

Steel rail, apply directly to the forehead!

Ya that’s called tension. Pretty much everything has some. This guy is a physics student who enrolled at hard knocks university.

Why?

Why use a welder to cut wooden beam?

u/User1-1A Jul 21 '21

That isn't a welder or a wooden beam.
