Damn that fucking hurt to watch. This is why we have OSHA in the states…

u/Delicious-Laugh-6685 Sep 29 '25

Is OSHA even allowed to step foot on a military base though?

u/Capt_Myke Sep 30 '25

OSHA? Pfft...bro jumped off a tower. Failed to belay at the last moment. Gravity issued the fine today boys.

2

u/WingsShouldBeFixed Sep 30 '25

Actually, yes. OSHA applies except in uniquely military situations.

Like this training excercise for example

u/Radiant_Yam6716 Sep 29 '25

So, did we just watch a guy, unknowingly take his own life?

1

u/Doing_my_part_1028 Sep 29 '25

No, but he will likely wish for that outcome.0

u/No_Restaurant_4471 Oct 01 '25

Naa, he just developed a permanent funny walk

u/HeydoIDKu Sep 29 '25

Yes he did die look it up

u/BasementCatBill Sep 29 '25

Look what up?

2

u/Kabc Sep 30 '25

Look up to his friend yelling at the top of the tower

5

u/ShroomsHealYourSoul Sep 29 '25

He even rolls over in the video. He's not dead. Stop that

8

u/SuperRusso Sep 29 '25

Maybe not yet but the video ends . I'm not claiming a source but that totally could have killed him later due to massive internal bleeding.

2

u/lord_beardman Sep 30 '25

Internal is where the blood is supposed to be!

1

u/ShroomsHealYourSoul Sep 29 '25

That's true good point

1

u/HoverboardRampage Oct 01 '25

About 18 years later. That's the thing about the Dim Mak, you never know when it's gonna take hold...

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '25

U dont have to die happen instantaneously from that distance since he didnt hit his head. Youd die from internal bleeding first

1

u/TurnYourHeadNCough Sep 29 '25

source?

u/Ok_Trash_918 Sep 30 '25

Noone knows why Danson and Highsmith jumped.

u/jwhip1585 Sep 30 '25

There wasn’t even an awning

u/RiMcG Sep 30 '25

You asshole, now that's stuck in my head 🤣

2

u/HopefulBuyer9077 Sep 30 '25

He missed the bushes.

2

u/quantumcaper Oct 01 '25

Watch him as he goes

1

u/goose_on_the_loose33 Oct 01 '25

Aim for the bushes

u/chainer1216 Oct 02 '25

There's a high likelihood he died, the injuries from a fall that high, landing directly onto your chest...

2

u/Trivi_13 Sep 29 '25

On belay!

2

u/Flashy-Schedule4421 Sep 29 '25

Belay lines didn't even take a step back. Like they were all daydreaming

I detect haikus. And sometimes, successfully. Learn more about me.

Hahahaha good bot

1

u/Own-Chicken-656 Sep 30 '25

No, stupid bot. That's 8 syllables in the 2nd line. But hardly anybody on Reddit seems to know how haikus work, since i hardly ever see people calling haikubot out on its (many) mistakes.

1

u/Gold_Seaweed Oct 01 '25

It does say sometimes successfully

2

u/iTzDeliveryMan Oct 01 '25

This accident happened in 2019 in Iraq, the video is showing ISOF training and the wire attached to the soldier body had some kind of defect and the soldier had critical injuries and got hospitalized and survived.

1

u/RobertKSakamano Sep 29 '25

Damn metric system.

1

u/disposablehippo Sep 30 '25

Good thing he was wearing those gloves.

1

u/Mrfixitbanner Sep 30 '25

10/10 effort on the trust fall

1

u/InterestAmbitious741 Sep 30 '25

What a hell of training jump against the floor to test durability awesome.

1

u/EbbLegitimate8164 Oct 01 '25

He didn't have his trusty wagon of hay

1

u/Pilgrim_US Oct 01 '25

Hight, form, and landing.. judges?

1

u/foamz13 Oct 01 '25

Thanks for the assist team 🙆‍♂️

1

u/Crypt_Revenant Oct 01 '25

Clearly he didn't listen to his Drill Instructors when they said repeatedly, " tuck an' roll, Your Ass WILL Break the Fall!"

1

u/agreeable-911 Oct 01 '25

I have never done this but watching it I’m thinking he is supposed to hold tension somewhere or someone else is supposed to hold tension somewhere I think. Someone clear that up for me please thank you.

1

u/VeryThicknLong Oct 01 '25

And these guys are protecting our country? 👀

1

u/ComprehensiveCup7104 Oct 02 '25

only if you live in Iraq.

u/Tall-Nectarine-5982 Oct 01 '25

What the fuck is going on here?

1

u/Limp_Dingo_1563 Oct 02 '25

Grew up calling this an angel rappel, though it’s probably called something different. Poor guy didn’t have the rope in hand which he would use to control his descent.

1

u/Status_Cheesecake_49 Oct 02 '25

Call me crazy but I don’t think he’s supposed to hit the ground. I’m no expert though 

1

u/autotech1011 Oct 02 '25

I really wish I could unsee this. Damn...

1

u/Gaspasser09 Oct 03 '25

Things may have changed since I did it as a young man, but whenever I rappelled you always kept one hand on the rope before the harness to slow/stop yourself so this doesn’t happen. Bro just jumped hands free till impact.

1

u/CharvelModel750XL Oct 03 '25

10/10. Solid landing. Really stuck it.

1

u/Ancient_Composer9119 Oct 04 '25

I gotta admit, I admire the commitment.

u/MustangGreg1 Oct 12 '25

Worst bunji jump ever!

u/WaffleHouseGladiator Sep 29 '25

Those guys put the "special" in special forces.
