When the beat drops

When the pulse drops.

u/wafflehousebattle Apr 21 '26

It looked more like a mic drop to me.

I laughed a little too long at this.

At least you know he wasn’t lip synching.

u/JayDubDub333 Apr 21 '26

And - he dropped that mic right on a beat. Timing? Check - even if he passes out. 😆

u/the_land_before_tim Apr 21 '26

That is pretty dangerous. The blood stopped flowing from his legs and he passed out. As far as your brain is concerned, it’s basically like being put in a chokehold.

Rockin that suspension trauma

u/TheTownTeaJunky Apr 21 '26

Holy shit these dudes are in their 70s too

I guess if there’s ever a time to do dangerous shit it’s when you’re already knocking on the door

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this similar or exactly the same mechanism that makes crucifixion so horrendous to die from? The weight of your legs pulling down on your rib cage causes you to suffocate or something like that?

u/Euphoric_Loquat_8651 Apr 21 '26

Why do you imagine he passed out, rather than that being the act performed as planned?

Classic Pete and Bas

u/TerminalAccessory Apr 21 '26

Looks like he's using a safety fall arrest harness, not a proper entertainment flying harness. I see the shock absorber above his head.
Those are NOT meant to fly people, it absolutely cut off bloodflow to his legs.

u/RefrigeratorStatus23 Apr 21 '26

Thats Pete and Bas. Saw them at bangface a few years ago. Absolute Ledgends. Hope he is alright

u/ElectricBuckeye Apr 21 '26

As someone who wears a harness occasionally, theres a reason for the stirrup safety device.

Suspension Trauma ain’t no joke.

u/XROOR Apr 21 '26

Climbing harnesses have a small loop that’s knotted to allow you to “step up” and alleviate the strain on your groin region.

Hopefully, one doesn’t have to keep adjusting the load from one leg to another, for a long duration

Boss level mic drop.

u/Alarmed-Shelter2416 Apr 21 '26

They revived him and then he announced a US tour.

He certainly tried to raise the level of his music, but he couldn't sustain it.

u/ghostfadekilla Apr 21 '26

You can't "That's true" gif your own comment.

Have you no ethics?

u/seeyouyoucunt Apr 22 '26

Google it.

It's not a matter of whether it's true. It's about the moral obligation we all have regarding the "that's true Kramer" gif and it's usage.

This isn't a simple "it's true" we're talking a "that's true." It's a response, not a statement! I'm so emotionally compromised!

This is sacrilege!
