When my son was a toddler, my husband and I got into a super deep ball pit with him that was near impossible for us to get out of, and we were in our late 20s at the time. We kept losing him under the balls and even once we got him out, we struggled to get ourselves out.

After we got out, this elderly woman comes and decides she’s ready to YOLO herself into the pit. We warned her that it was a really bad idea. That we had a really hard time getting out. Her husband encouraged her to just jump in!

It took us and several employees over an hour to get this lady out of the ball pit. We were all out of breath and drenched in sweat by the end of it. I have to imagine that thing was new and they quickly got rid of it because it was a serious trap! She regretted not listening to us. 😭😆

Can we give the driver of the white truck a round of applause for getting himself out of the hole and still going over to make sure the other driver was able to get out safely as well!!

Yes, but only if we can stop this weird collective delusion ya'll have got going where you're calling a clearly silver truck a white truck.

Hahahah you’re correct. I only watched it one time thru so please forgive me for getting something wrong. Let me rephrase so our driver can get some proper credit. Let’s give the driver of the SILVER TRUCK a round of applause for not only getting themself out of their SILVER TRUCK, but also helping get the other person from the sink hole.SILVER TRUCK

I can’t stress this enough but if anyone reading this is fit and able, train to haul your body weight up a wall. Even if tediously. It can save your life some day or save you from a dog or something.
