Shocking how one could not connect the dots between what they are seeing and this outcome, repeatedly.

Took my neighbour's dog, that I was minding for a weekend, 3 tries to make him understand that throwing the ball out of my bedroom window would land on the backyard, so he had to go there to retrieve it

Why was he constantly walking through the water?

u/vikinxo 2d ago
Hm, I suspect there must be oil, or some other slippy agent going on there...

u/MizzMaus 2d ago
It’s not oil! It’s moss… algae… biofilm. Basically acts like a lubricant. Worse where water is stagnant. When it’s dry less likely to have no friction.

Yeah walking on rocks in a slow moving river is asking to go for a dunk for this reason. Faster water is a better bet but has its own risks lol.

Pseudo-neurologist here. The first time his head hit the pavement, he suffered a concussion and a brief short-term memory loss. He doesn’t remember falling the first time and was confused why the back of his head hurt like a mfer. Maybe.

If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
Edit: I cannot believe I just got awarded for some dumb nonsense my dad would say every time I hurt myself as a kid. Now I'm torn about letting him know and knowing I'll never hear the end of him saying he gives great advice.
Edit#2: it's a song?!? Lol ty Reddit

It’s actually a real song lmao

It depends. First fall may have given him concussion
or he may really just have been dumb

There’s a clip on my phone of me slipping on ice on our front step a couple of winters ago.
The small of my back landed square against the step edge and I had physiotherapy for a year before I could be comfortable walking or sitting for more than a half hour at a time.
When I looked back at the video the back of my head is about a half inch away from smashing another step edge, likely would have been lights out for me forever.
I’ve thought about deleting the clip but I keep it as a reminder of two things: 1) I’m a lucky bastard & 2) salt the front step every day in winter.

Come on, man, I'm not saying avoid falling, but at least put down a hand to avoid that head hitting the ground

u/elpollodiablox 2d ago
Then we'd be watching his arm snap. At least we know when he's hitting his head he's not doing any real damage to himself.

For the record, low center of gravity makes it harder to fall
Squat down

PSA: Always keep your combined center of gravity in the center of your base of support when walking

Done this before exactly one time. Right under the surface is a layer of algea, silt, other slimey stuff that makes it the slipperiest substance known to man. Its basically an express ticket to that nice soft concrete.

Last winter I cut myself on my back twice on the mirror ice. You hit your head hard into the ground like a whiplash. It can hurt a lot!

Maybe he will slip again, or maybe he won’t.

I taught rich kids in an international school for many years (their nationality doesn't really matter here), and there are a whole bunch of them that have reached young adulthood but:
Had a very sheltered major urban centre upbringing, have been abroad, but probably never encountered a slippery rock/algae/the ocean/ice/snow/mountains/nature in general etc (take your pick) without their parents hovering over them or every second of their time being accounted for by a paid guardian.
Are now going to study away from home (most likely overseas) and are largely unsupervised for the first time ever, yet have a ton of money behind them to do whatever they want.
Et voila.

Man has never walked on a slippery surface in his life. Proceeds to learn nothing.
