This is why I think motorcycles have like 6 times the fatality rate compared to cars. Young stupid men, sorry ladies most of you are too responsible, maybe there are stupid ladies and I am a bit sexist, but young stupid men being able to afford a motorcycle because it is cheaper than dirt and has the power to weight ratio of a supercar. Then thinking we were born different, we have been riding this amazing piece of machinery for a year now, clearly we are special, a motoGP driver in another life (PS they plan to drop at least 6 times a year), we are the the blessing from the road Gods, we become cocky, we show off… And we actually make it, then after the first time it is like chasing the dragons tail, that adrenaline rush, and every time we push our limits a bit more, become more confident. Then we push and …. fuck what was that wobble, suddenly everything goes into slow-mo, “FUCK!!! I am falling toward that barrier. Dead.
It happens so fast. You are lucky if you slide, like this guy did, it means you are not coming to a sudden stop. Skin regrows actually back amazing, around the hips are the most painful.
Driving motorcycles, especially litre bikes, unfortunately feeds into the power fantasy. It is addictive. I drive mine everyday and still I promise myself to drive nicely, yet when I overtake my lizard brain takes over and I grin from ear to ear as everyone basically stands still as I overtake three cars in less than a second. I know I am going to fall and hit the road one day. I an a stupid young man driving a motorcycle. But I spend basically a shit load of money on my gear, ask me why and I will show you the places where you can see hou i paid for that knowledge with a pound of flesh. Wear your gear and try to be humble, watchout for cars even if you have right of way, graveyard is full of bikers who had right of way. Cars have a steel box protecting you, all you have is a bit of animal skin or composite material and a hard shell with Styrofoam keeping you alive
A helmet would have prevented some of the head injury, but I don’t expect even leathers would have helped a whole lot. Some kinds of stupid just have unavoidable consequences.
Yup, that’s a few broken ribs I’m sure. Painful as hell, and since I broke mine the first time I’ve broken them twice more in the same place. Only bones I’ve ever broken. Didn’t bother going to the doctor the second two times because there’s fuck all they can do for you anyway. Just gotta let them heal, and try not to laugh or cough or bend or breathe too much for a couple months.
Control your fucking dog around strangers. They dont k now your dog. I wouldnt blame anyone demolishing your dogs face if you let it act as in this video
It may vary by region. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fight in the US. I’m sure someone I’ve known at some point probably has witnessed one, but I doubt I could pick them out of a lineup.
Thank you, all of that makes sense of course. I assumed that having troops with urban drop experience was the point, but if the point is to avoid urban drops at all costs then yeah this just seems like a way to hurt people and damage stuff. But like not in the normal military way.
Generally speaking you don’t airdrop troopers directly into an urban area since there are lots of things you can hit as you fall. Those paratrooper parachutes have little control compared to a civilian parachute. In the US all airborne and air assault bases have huge open fields for troops to practice in since you really don’t want your soldiers smacking into signs and cars during a training event. It’s expensive to fix them up after.
That has got to be the dictionary definition of taking one for the team. This is one of the times I don’t begrudge them collapsing on the floor in a dramatic fashion. Somebody get that man an ice pack!
Buddy idfk what to tell you but your dog is aggressive. I don’t know you, I don’t know your dog, and I damn sure ain’t taking stitches because you think that little ratfucker is an angel
If my day ever goes so south that I’m thrown off a roof, get three strikes on one swing and a miss, and get choked out all in the span of 30 seconds, just send my soul to hell.
As a European I am always baffled by how normalized throwing fists is in the US. I’ve never witnessed a real fight my whole life and I don’t known anyone who ever did, it’s just so rare.
The UPS driver also took his stuff off and approached aggressively squaring up to a guy that is walking slowly forward with his hands down. Maybe he was legitimately afraid for his life from the dog, but he’s looking for a fight.
Okay maybe it’s because I can’t see enough of the video. But it doesn’t look like there’s enough video there to show that dog was being aggressive. Yes he went towards the UPS driver. But so does my dog. My dog goes and visits anybody and everybody that walks past. And I can guarantee if somebody threw something on my dog I wouldn’t be as calm as this dude was. That driver seemed like he was having a hell of a day.
UPS drivers don’t get paid enough to have to deal with shitty pet owners bullshit. Also, who gets in trouble when they get bit? They do. Might as well protect oneself.
I went parasailing once. It was not at all like this! In my case, it was a gradual winch-out, float up into the air. Peaceful. Quiet. Sedate. Nice view.
On my instance is shows 32 up 8 down which is about what I would expect because many people treat dogs with unconditional trust and respect and therefor see leash laws as something for lesser human beings and incompetents, surely their own labrador or pitbull isn’t like all the other ones.
Mad or not. Excited or not. If that dog got out in the street and got hit by a car it would be 100% the owners fault for not securing the animal who is supposed to be in control.

A helmet would have prevented what seems to have been some serious injury to the head and face.
See screenshots in my previous comment.
He’d like to respond but he has no face.
So, at a glance, you can see his head bounce off the pavement
and his face drag.
Meat crayon, then organ donor.
“Meat crayon” is a wonderfully evocative phrase
Don’t worry, he probably didn’t feel a thing at that point already.
I kinda want to walk up to the guy as he is laying there and ask him:
A helmet would have prevented some of the head injury, but I don’t expect even leathers would have helped a whole lot. Some kinds of stupid just have unavoidable consequences.
I cringed and went “ohhhhh nooooo!” When I saw his face slide across the road 💀
they call them organ donors
It’s the sausageman.
Or, “How to learn lessons that you won’t forget for life”.
You are referring to the military in the back, right?
Bring it.
Ouch!
My body reacted in the same spot he fell. I hate when that happens.
This is how asian countries weed out the dumb ones before sending the smart ones overseas
Had the same thought. Maybe the flat plane plexiglass and/or its seal.
I’m not sure the glove was the issue
Got himself so hard his bones came out the back

I’d put a little life jacket on it. Just to be sure.
We got a floater!
insurance, right?
Luckily they can point to which is the ouchy bone on their shirt
This should be NSFW
I mean, ‘fighting on the roof’ only describes about 1/4 of the video at most.
Though that one guy almost landed on top of that sign, which would have been cool until he thought about how to get down.
It seems to float indeed.
Please, tell me that those things float, lie to me if needed.
Youre an “owner” huh. Twat
Control your fucking dog around strangers. They dont k now your dog. I wouldnt blame anyone demolishing your dogs face if you let it act as in this video
I’m glad you know that. You know who doesn’t? Literally every other person on the planet.
Ya this is wildly unnecessary risk. Hopefully no one hit a power line. These chutes just go where the wind takes them
THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND!
She never bit anyone, never even threatened it. She literally runs up to people to get pets. Idk what the fuck you are about, but no.
Would be good if you didn’t link directly to reddit video links. I can’t access it.

I mean, they are leaning.
I don’t know if I’d have them learning at like 15mph into a civilian car, against buildings and at billboards.
Unless they are also learning about insurance policies.
Edit: ensurance → insurance

What am I missing here? Isn’t this the point of training?
Cruel. Should be illegal to do that to an animal.
Looks like the boat took a turn too sharply and there was too much slack in the line
That has got to be the dictionary definition of taking one for the team. This is one of the times I don’t begrudge them collapsing on the floor in a dramatic fashion. Somebody get that man an ice pack!
That explains it. My country borders yours to the east and I have been in/seen many fistfights.
Germany
Which part of Europe do you live in?
bullies never expect to get an aggressive response so it immediately checks them
fuck no, people who own dogs like this loose and aggressive danger are assholes
only reason this didnt escalate is driver went in hard and that fuck nugget had no time to build himself up
i bet if he was polite it’d be the asshole starting a fight
Its still the Wild West. You think they’d be more reserved without healthcare for free
Buddy idfk what to tell you but your dog is aggressive. I don’t know you, I don’t know your dog, and I damn sure ain’t taking stitches because you think that little ratfucker is an angel
If my day ever goes so south that I’m thrown off a roof, get three strikes on one swing and a miss, and get choked out all in the span of 30 seconds, just send my soul to hell.
The two guys who just start working again. Lol
But seriously. Extremely dangerous. Luckily no one was seriously hurt.
As a European I am always baffled by how normalized throwing fists is in the US. I’ve never witnessed a real fight my whole life and I don’t known anyone who ever did, it’s just so rare.
The way he walks up on the resident, pussy.
Almost a SCOTT STERLING moment
You gotta learn how to fall
He also put up his hands to defend his head, and does not throw a punch = defense not attack
The UPS driver also took his stuff off and approached aggressively squaring up to a guy that is walking slowly forward with his hands down. Maybe he was legitimately afraid for his life from the dog, but he’s looking for a fight.
He did.
Okay maybe it’s because I can’t see enough of the video. But it doesn’t look like there’s enough video there to show that dog was being aggressive. Yes he went towards the UPS driver.

That driver seemed like he was having a hell of a day.
Who are you kidding, the focus group is another ai
Span bot trash.
I would too. I’d be shouting things like “hey dickweed! If you like deliveries - ever - you’re gonna control that dog.”
Did it go wrong? It did end up getting Little Debbie advertised on corners of the internet where we don’t usually see such advertisements.
They had a good hypothetical 3 seconds with fast reflexes, maybe a fast runner too
Seriously. Looks like they must battle to win the job to do the roof lol.
How do two guys fall off and a third get thrown off yet all are still peacocking around? Tough hombres.
Dude is like “shit, I’m outta here”. And that lady’s response? “I’m not done with you yet, you little fucker! Come meet my have again!”
Spoken like someone who’s never had their calf ripped open by a dog before.
I need context

Your experience looks rather more exciting.
I know there is a lot going on here but I just want to point out that UPS dude was really skilled with that throw.
Camera operator didn’t flinch.
Should be pretty similar if you just bring whip cream and brown sugar with you next time you go to taco bell
Is it the boat’s fault or did they miss to do some maneuvering?
They just had half a building fall on them.
The rollcage ain’t saving you from that much concrete.
Does this have to do with having to log in now to view Reddit across its domains now?
Escalation seems like it’s the go-to for most people in the USA
On my instance is shows 32 up 8 down which is about what I would expect because many people treat dogs with unconditional trust and respect and therefor see leash laws as something for lesser human beings and incompetents, surely their own labrador or pitbull isn’t like all the other ones.
The dog owner needs to control his dog. UPS driver did nothing wrong by defending himself.
Fight or flight response was still going and turned to FIGHT! human nature is messy.
I dont know why you are getting downvoted.
Mad or not. Excited or not. If that dog got out in the street and got hit by a car it would be 100% the owners fault for not securing the animal who is supposed to be in control.
Little Debbie will always remind me of this meme
This is the OpenAI version. I think the Grok one would get you on a watchlist.
If all the conversations in the comm are like this post, it’ll be a fun place
That looks absolutely disgusting. Im on board.
Gotta set the environment variable “LITTLE_ST_JAMES=1” to get the AI to respond for some reason.
Congratulations, that got an unreasonably loud laugh from me.
Go team bull!
Oh, very rigorous civil engineering standards.
Frisk’s in The Underground now
The focus group caught that before it went further
Oh who am I kidding, the focus group was someone’s niece
You should that dust is bad for you
Well what sort of standards are these buildings built to?
Rubber?
I wouldn’t hold my breath.
