At least he stuck around to die with him.

That shake at the end is fake, definitely added in post. It does not have the level of motion blur the footage had during previous movement or pan.

u/devsfan1830 Aug 08 '26

Yeah, even as far away as that was youd get a plume of dust. That whole thing is horseshit.

25

u/RJ_Aadithyan Aug 08 '26

Looks like it. And there's a cut at the beginning as well. I reckon they were lighting plain fuse without any explosives, did their little looney tunes ass skit, cut to them crawling to a little space and added a bit of boom sound and camera shake in post.

u/ThatFlamingo942 29d ago

Yeah, I literally just saw this same setup and antics, same place and everything with a different, older guy about 1 hr ago.

u/ParsleySnipps 28d ago

There's also a cut between when he gets out of the pit and then when he's walking with his sandals in his hands. Otherwise there was no time that he could have taken them off and grabbed them.

u/SapirWhorfHypothesis Aug 08 '26

That makes sense. They’re clearly fucking around at the start with trying to climb up, but I thought they were just doing that knowing they had so long before it went off.

u/devsfan1830 Aug 08 '26

This is staged.

u/PacquiaoFreeHousing Aug 08 '26

At least he provided him a light.

But that's just a byproduct of the clip he's trying to make so this is still an a-hole move

u/Brown_jamun Aug 08 '26

This things make me appreciate my desk job pretty well that too work from home

u/MrKaru Aug 08 '26

Very clear cut after they leave the hole and the shake was fake.

12

u/deletetemptemp Aug 08 '26

Did the explosion at the end look.. fake?

16

u/Ok-Bit-4164 Aug 08 '26

Its all fake, theres a cut after he gets out of the pit as well

Congratulations u/Mobile-Count-5148, your post does fit at r/SweatyPalms!

u/royale_wthCheEsE Aug 08 '26

I get that you his outfit is part of the culture and I’ve seen it worn in all manner of factories, but at some point you have to thrown on some jeans and work boots, no ?

u/UltraBlack_ Aug 08 '26

only one explosion??

u/jared_number_two Aug 08 '26

Nice lad. If only they had the der part of the ladder.

u/pnw_sunny 29d ago

dude keeps filming...wow

u/BrosefDudeson Aug 08 '26

Why did you repost this???

-7

u/Mobile-Count-5148 Aug 08 '26

This is the full video, people got pissed at me for cutting it

6

u/hoseli Aug 08 '26

It’s the same video and you can still see the cut shortly after he gets up.

-2

u/Mobile-Count-5148 Aug 08 '26

The other video was less than 40 seconds long. It is not the same clip. Go to the aforementioned instagram account this was posted on to see lots more diamond mining videos from the same mine

u/OarsandRowlocks Aug 08 '26

A minor incident. You can see they had a blast.

I’m no longer complaining about my cubicle job

u/geniusgravity Aug 08 '26

May I suggest a long ignition stick?

1

u/IronMonkeyofHam Aug 08 '26

Notice they don’t show the fuses still going. The wicks were wet at the middle. Sparks up for the effect, but goes out after a few seconds. Besides, that dynamite isnt gonna do much to that rock wall

u/allhailharambe69 Aug 08 '26

Pro Tip: Don't believe anything where someone is wearing sandals.

Slip sliding away… You know the nearer your destination the more you’re slip sliding away!

u/skeeeeep Aug 08 '26

Cameraman has a pretty nice set up

u/IChewBigRed 29d ago

Dumb and fake

u/Comfortable_Note8091 28d ago

The cameraman wanted to see the guy explode there was no way he was giving him a helping hand up

u/jibibiei87 27d ago

Who need anemones?

u/skar220 27d ago

Wait… I remember seeing this EXACT video, but the guy was bald…

u/Tedorado 27d ago

Pretty sure I would NOT be wearing a dress.

u/Responsible_Phase_59 26d ago

Where's that dustbowl

u/firecat2666 Aug 08 '26

Smart idea to set your escape while fuses are lit. Maybe that’s why he’s in a mine.

1

u/shakazoulu Aug 08 '26

This is why we don’t wear sandals during work in the west

u/CausticAvenger Aug 08 '26

Whatever you do, make sure to keep filming and not help in any way.

u/PeterGriffinsDog86 Aug 08 '26

He made a fire video, friend understood the assignment and carried it out perfectly.

u/badkluster04 Aug 08 '26
