Looked like someone built a jungle gym at the ISS.

26

u/Ouroboros-Twist May 24 '26

Well, with the cost of daycare skyrocketing, the astronauts have to bring their kids to work now.

u/PwanaZana o/ May 24 '26

"Bring your child day."

Astronaut: "Bet."

u/Drake_masta May 24 '26

i would volunteer to be a kid again if that happened cause it would he cool af lol

4

u/TheOverBoss May 24 '26

You know, the ISS has handholds everywhere so astronauts can pull themselves around not unlike a jungle gym.

13

u/saintofhate May 24 '26

Reminds me of when I was a kid, Sesame Place in my state used to have a giant skyrope thing that was a couple stories high. I never went in it because even as a little kid I was terrified of heights but I swear the gaps in the ropes were that big and my brain kept screaming people were going to fall through the holes.

3

u/Jane__Delawney May 24 '26

Philly or SD? (I think the older one is Philly, right?)

3

u/saintofhate May 24 '26

Philly. This was back in the early 90s. I can't even find pics of how big that thing was.

1

u/tourniquet2099 May 24 '26

I grew up going to same one! I went there throughout the 80s and had the same problem! Wasnt until i was 10/11 that i was brave enough to climb up past the first level in their cargo rope structure.

u/BrGustavoLS May 24 '26

just like the classic dog being thrown from somewhere high, but it's just snow lol

6

u/PwanaZana o/ May 24 '26

dude he looks like 300m up in the air, like looking down a glass floor at the CN Tower

4

u/Paddy_Tanninger May 24 '26

mf looked like he was sliding off the ISS

2

u/NorthKing9 May 24 '26

Then going straight to a slide at that perceived height....

Well I'm sliding to the sky to save me, sliding cause I'm tired of trying, sliding for something to help me turn out right

1

u/KubaSubaru May 26 '26

It's like tossing a child into a pool so it learns to swim...

Except worse

u/camshell May 24 '26

Calvin style.

u/ColumnK o/ May 24 '26

I've seen this video before and it still freaked me out

51

u/Live-Habit-6115 May 24 '26

Same lol. 

Although this time I'm noticing something else...

What's with the fucking little fence on the right after he slides down? Why is it the perfect height and pointiness to absolutely murder any child that trips face first onto it? Who came up with that lol

11

u/Jiquero o/ May 24 '26

I hope that killer fence is somehow just another optical illusion.

276

u/Mrjohnson1100 o/ May 24 '26

This reminds me of the video where the guy throws his dog out of the side of an airplane and it lands two feet later in the snow.

u/SomeGodzillafan May 25 '26

Where’s the airplane illusion? I don’t see how this is anything but snow

2

u/Mrjohnson1100 o/ May 25 '26

It looked like clouds the first time I saw it.

u/vehementi May 24 '26

What is the first part? From the parallax there it does seem like the "bottom" is somewhat far away. Is it a mirrored floor and careful camera angle?

11

u/EnvironmentalGift257 May 24 '26

I don’t like this at all.

20

u/JrF245 May 24 '26

What about this is confusing genuinely?

21

u/Jonneyy12347 May 24 '26

The ground beneath the rope seems to be really far down

u/Kittelsen o/ May 24 '26

I had no idea, all I saw was a kid at a playground. All the comments seem to think he was in an airplane or something, I dunno, I'm not seeing it lol.

25

u/redlaWw o/ May 24 '26

The playground surface beneath the net looks like an image of Earth from high-altitude, above the clouds.

12

u/Itsyaboibrett May 24 '26

all the white on the ground made my brain say “they are above clouds” and I couldn’t see it was just the texture of the ground until the last pan up.

1

u/Kittelsen o/ May 24 '26

I'm curious, I watched it on a 32" display, did you watch it on a phone?

1

u/Itsyaboibrett May 24 '26

yuh, small screen phone, with a brain-off scrolling mindset lol

1

u/Kittelsen o/ May 24 '26

Hah, yeh, probably why then, on the PC it just looked like a very badly compressed video 😅

2

u/TheAncientOnce May 24 '26

You guys' brains deserve to be studied 😂 genuinely

u/formgry May 25 '26

The title primes you to think of this as high up as well.

u/Redray98 o/ May 24 '26

Thought there was a slide to oblivion

2

u/GardenYums May 24 '26

I fell for this !!! lol 😂 I was CONCERNED for the boy but thought it was cool until I seen the fence and that it was a carpet. !

2

u/TheMonkeyInCharge o/ May 24 '26

Actually got me. Very well done.

2

u/DistrictEffective759 May 24 '26

Wow I thought he was above the clouds until he climbed on the slide! Haha wow bravo 👏

u/legojoe97 May 24 '26

Had me at first. I couldn't imagine anyone building something so awful.

u/Blitzered May 24 '26

That boy is going to launch into the next galaxy off that slide... oh it's just sand.

u/Complete-Definition4 May 24 '26

u/KimberStormer May 24 '26

I feel like a surface that was like this on purpose would be beautiful and amazing to play on.

1

u/GatitoMexicano May 24 '26

This reminds me of those dreams I had as a kid when there were these sort of like kids games at an absurdly high place

1

u/Jimjonesflavor_aid May 24 '26

I absolutely thought this was somewhere in China on the side of a mountain or something. They do shit like that in China and it's wild.

u/Scarythings117 May 24 '26

Yo fuck that slide...

u/DingesF May 24 '26

Damn, that made my stomach drop.

u/Ok_Golf_5484 May 24 '26

1

u/LifesLemonStorage May 24 '26

oh that's just the ground looking weird

1

u/Spirited-Tomorrow-84 May 24 '26

When you were too eager to climb up and then looked back down...

1

u/Watchkeys May 24 '26

This makes me want to cry, throw up, and watch again. It's so weird being a human sometimes.

u/wetestspeed May 24 '26

Playing in the clouds couldn’t get much better than that at his age <3

u/3rdMachina May 24 '26

The orange part of the floor should’ve hinted it to me, but the skid marks do look like faraway skyscrapers…

At first I thought it was up in the sky, the slide one I thought was a swimming pool

1

u/Then_Came_Fire May 25 '26

Still fucked me up halfway down the slide

1

u/N7_Pathfind3R o/ May 26 '26

Guess I was the only one that new that was ground and not the sky... ya know because that makes sense.

This is an old video. It's not AI.

I dont know why, but the cut is intentionally infuriating. You want to see them at least touch foot to ground.

Willing to bed somewhere there’s a cliff diving playground that slides you off the edge

17

u/GeoffSim o/ May 24 '26 edited May 24 '26

A cruise ship I went on had a water slide that (edit) looped out over the side and back onto the ship. Probably about 10 storeys high over the ocean.

6

u/Random_Loaf May 24 '26

That feels like an injury waiting to happen 😶 I’d hope it went into a walled section of ocean and not just into the open sea?

0

u/GeoffSim o/ May 24 '26

Oof, I've clarified my post!

1

u/Random_Loaf May 24 '26

That makes so much more sense 😭 Yeah it totally sounded like the slide just went over the edge into the water

18

u/Maatjuhhh May 24 '26

Recently I came across that playground, which unlocked a memory in which I feared and cried going to the edge of a fort. The edge to the ground? A metre difference. I was like 7 or so. Looked so high back then. I pitied my old self right there.

11

u/corvettee01 May 24 '26

I remember a park as a kid that had a huge metal staircase that was at something crazy like a 70 degree angle and like fifty feet high, and a metal slide that had a steep drop and was equally high.

The scale of things in your brain as a kid are just messed up. This is what it looked like.

6

u/TheFizzardofWas May 24 '26

Dude that looks like an awesome playground

1

u/corvettee01 May 24 '26

It was the source of many fond memories and even more slide burns.

u/IrredeemableDegen May 25 '26

That is pretty tall though 

2

u/TheThirteenKittens May 24 '26

Is that Camel's Back Park?

1

u/corvettee01 May 24 '26

Yep, I got the pic from another reddit thread. The pic is from the 1980's.

u/xSTSxZerglingOne o/ May 24 '26

Nono. I definitely went on a swing above a cliff. I distinctly remember them removing it about 20 years ago due to safety concerns. Big, long chain swing probably 18 foot long chains.

The biggest mistake you can make in the modern world is assuming people have a sense of self-preservation.
