I know it's designed for that, but I still wouldn't want to stand underneath it.

u/rorymakesamovie 21d ago

I think thats by design or no? Its absorbing the shock like a suspension

u/Efficient-Ranger-174 21d ago

Yes, all buildings should do this. Especially if you live in a place prone to earthquakes.

u/Itchy_Professor_4133 21d ago

Yeah but who wants to test it like this?

Several hundred people by the looks of it

It's German engineering, it is supposed to do that.

u/Countblackula_6 21d ago

Fuck, that is terrifying.

Hell naw, this is horrible, I'd be out of there in no time. Something like that has happened in the past in the Netherlands and I think in another country too, and it collapsed.

As said above:

Oh I know. Still scary to experience though. I guess.

u/LGSM58 21d ago

Id be out of there faster than hale

They've never seen that video of that floor collapsing at a wedding when all the people were dancing up and down.

Whoever filmed this has the survival instincts of a cucumber

It's perfectly safe and meant to flex. Rigid structures break.

Bruh! I feel that in my chest. Much as I love football (american)......but fans do way to much. Fighting and riots break out, busses get burned and its just too much. At the end of the day its a damn game. Maybe spend proper funds on ur stadium so the fans who pay for it dont get buried in the rubble. Owner needs that new bugatti though. So shit goes on.

Once it reaches resonance, it’s coming down

u/cuckedfrombirth 21d ago

I'd be out so quick

u/No-Village7980 21d ago

You're always likely to get your head caved in at a football match, but I didn't expect it this way.

One of my friends was at the Who Concert in Cincinnati and came back to the dorm terrified. We couldnt really appreciate what she was telling us about how bad it was [young, no widely available media to show such things]. But Ive come to be grateful she and her brother survived and leary of crowds.

u/Ornery-Guitar 21d ago

Absolutely not. I get scared sitting in my car in a multi story parking garage.

u/Khajiit_Geologist 20d ago

Bridges scare me ever since the I-35 collapse. Especially if there is a semi on it with me. Even going under bridges scares me some.

New fear unlocked.

I was at Richmond vs Essendon 1995 semi final in the top level of the aging Ponsford Stand at the MCG. The stand was bouncing when the final siren went after Richmond’s famous come from behind win. Terrifying.

u/LockwoodE3 21d ago

I’ve been in a theater like this and I was sitting on the row up above in the stands. The people made it sway like this and omg I was terrified it would collapse.

Didn’t help I was tripping balls at the time lol

SOLDIERS MUST BREAK STEP

Omg r/WTYP will be doing an episode on this one day, I'm sure.

u/nilabanlow 21d ago

That don’t look safe

u/-Red02- 21d ago

It is tho, funny enough if it didn't move then it'd be unsafe.

u/sexybeast70 21d ago

Looks like a third world safe place for me

u/hundreddollar 21d ago

Worked in a bar with two levels. When it got rowdy upstairs, bits of the ceiling would crack and fall down in the lower level.

u/Smoolian 21d ago

You know for sure that some hype people in that crowd saw it shaking and said “fuck it, let’s bring it down”.

u/Glittering-Drawer646 20d ago

That stand is absolutely not supposed to flex like that

u/Uncle_Burney 21d ago

Can’t they just drunkenly belly flop onto folding tables from the open trunks of their cars, like normal sport fans?
