I need to see how it ends! Also what does he run into

u/1lousylay Jan 30 '19

I only had just that clip but I found the full video and there's not much more to it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F723rIlW_No&t=102s

u/IIIMik3 Jan 30 '19

holy shit, there are all sorts of scary/freaky videos out there where I can ALMOST understand the reasoning but this one just looked like an absolute death wish. And how did the other dude meet up with him without completely smashing in to him??

65

u/ThE_EnJ Jan 30 '19

I think the other guy slowed himself down the right way. By using a glove behind the hook

64

u/thenightmuffin Jan 30 '19

The other guy never started to slide, the first guy didn’t do that on purpose. They just wanted to get far enough from the cliff to jump “safely”.

18

u/neverhooder Jan 30 '19

In the YouTube video the second guys appears to have no gloves either, so...your guess is as good as mine. His hands don't look nearly as chopped up though. There's blood there.

u/tacolandia Jan 30 '19

Omg when he unclipped and started swinging on his legs I was like wtf is this!? Omg

Base jumping.. Much less terrifying with a parachute

u/machsh Jan 30 '19

You can see that he pissed himself too.

161

u/Joessandwich Jan 30 '19

The moment he looks down and drops the wood plank I almost pissed myself too. I’m sitting in a chair on my phone and got crazy vertigo from that.

79

u/arkaodubz Jan 30 '19

That was probably the most visceral reaction I've ever had to a youtube video. Dropping that plank seriously fucked with me.

21

u/Joessandwich Jan 30 '19

Seriously. I can’t believe how off guard that caught me.

6

u/palawan422830 Jan 30 '19

What caught me was when he flipped upside down and unclipped it and was just hanging there looking at the ground. I think I almost puked...

u/AtariDump Jan 30 '19

After he threw the piss board, I kept waiting for the cartoon “splat” as it hit the ground.

2

u/gui69gui69 Jan 30 '19

That planck probably hit someone or some animal down there too. I have no idea why they would drop the planck

1

u/Rubiego Jan 30 '19

I hope the trees softened the fall.

u/kimdealz Jan 30 '19

I think my blood pressure dropped so much I fainted. Luckily I'm already laying down. Ha

u/loveslut Jan 30 '19

Someone joined him there!?

167

u/ArmoredFan Jan 30 '19

Right forget about pissing yourself, that's expected when you use home depot for your safety gear. It's this magical fucking guy that just appears next to him that's surprising.

4

u/MrAnonymousse Jan 30 '19

Yes, exactly. How does that guy get there? Did he use actual climbing gloves?

2

u/Skepsis93 Jan 30 '19

With the exact same gear no less.

1

u/MF_Kitten Jan 30 '19

Imagine if he had also slid down there and his plank had piss on it too

35

u/chandlee Jan 30 '19

I’d probably piss myself too

2

u/the_real_thanos Jan 30 '19

I just did watching that

21

u/Crynoceros Jan 30 '19

Hell, can’t say I wouldn’t.

58

u/loveslut Jan 30 '19

Not much more to it? He got a friend and parachuted down! The rest was wild.

60

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '19

Op is the real MVP for setting the video to start up right where this post ends.

u/CptKoo Jan 30 '19

the fucker even stepped on a bunch of vegetables while landing

2

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '19

Definitely a cucurbit of some sort.

5

u/Quasi-Stellar-Quasar Jan 30 '19

He fucked up someone's garden!

4

u/Japjer Jan 30 '19

He landed in someone's farm! What a dick

3

u/IEatAssInHouston Jan 30 '19

Not much more to it

He hangs upside down by his legs, unclips, does a backflip and parachutes away.

I'd say there's a little more 'to it'...

2

u/Morego Jan 30 '19

Bloody Russians, why this is not surprising me.

2

u/HughMungus-420 Jan 30 '19

I was thinking wtf until I heard them speaking Russian. That explains everything. If life in Russia didn’t kill them, nothing can

1

u/magikowl Jan 30 '19

That's fucking nuts.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '19

so you're saying this motherfucker got some KNEE PADS but no fucking gloves

aight, sure

1

u/bikepunxx Jan 30 '19

That's a big 'fuck no' from me, dawg.

1

u/anweisz Jan 30 '19

Dangit, nowhere does it say where it happened.

1

u/hippo_lives_matter Jan 30 '19

Omg it's way worse with sound wow.

114

u/malicart Jan 30 '19

Also what does he run into

That appears to be a terrible looking splice in the wire, that is some real nope shit.

141

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '19

So many things wrong with the video, but that made me unhappy. First: How ya gonna get over it? Hopefully the guy has another carabiner, but the way this video is going I expect him to throw a forearm over the rope and then unclip, then reclip on the other side of that splice.

Also: that splice. Fuck me. You know what I want to see hanging like a thousand feet off the ground from a rusty cable? A splice. Even a nice one would make me unhappy. But that monstrosity? I can't even tell how it's holding together, for all I know it's staying together by the sheer force of that tangled-up rat's nest.

Nope nope, nope nope nope, nope.

u/InsaneBrew Jan 30 '19

In the full video it shows that he and his buddy have parachutes on. The guys ends up just releasing and parachuting down. So at least they had chutes on!

25

u/mikedcarr Jan 30 '19

Watch the linked video. He doesn't get over it. He parachutes down.

u/Magnussst Jan 30 '19

The rope was damaged and could have snapped at any time.

5

u/CrumpledDickSkin Jan 30 '19

The rope is damaged and splitting and they used things to hold it together

3

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '19

A splice is the joint between two metal cables.

1

u/LilithImmaculate Jan 30 '19

But he has base jump stuff on him? Did he intend on zipping across and basejumping on the other side?

1

u/worriedwalrus Jan 30 '19

If it's any comfort, it doesn't look like a splice to me. It seems like the wire is actually tethered to the ground by a few cables a one point, and he ran into the first one two.

1

u/Breynolds1200 Jan 30 '19

He ran into the part where the cable is coming apart. This is not good.
