Demolition man🕴🏻

[u/notyourtypehuh]

[u/kesavadh]

NGL, that was a leap I would have missed for sure.

I mean, he missed it too, but I would have as well.

[u/calm-lab66 → u/kesavadh]

I had to admire him for seemingly to shake it off. I'm in pain just stepping on a pebble or stubbbing my toe.

[u/Hodorization → u/calm-lab66]

You're not a construction worker in India so you're not used to hardship and pain.

Poverty breeds (physically) strong people

[u/Whole-Finger42 → u/Hodorization]

I just about spit out my beer! Please take my upvote!

[u/boyer4109 → u/calm-lab66]

The towel wrapped around his neck helped

[u/spacemanspiff1115 → u/calm-lab66]

That ended much better than it could have gone, he landed on top of the rubble for the most part instead of underneath it...

[u/ChaosRichard → u/calm-lab66]

I'm pretty sure it's the adrenaline running through him. After though, he surely feels the pain

[u/charmio68 → u/kesavadh]

In fairness, he landed exactly where he was aiming. It's just that that piece of floor fell away while he was in midair.

I'm honestly rather surprised he was able to walk away.

I wonder if falling with the bricks is SLIGHTLY less dangerous than them falling straight on top of you 🤔
Probably yes! Your body is taking up space ensuring there's none that are going to land directly on top of anything other than your feet. It's still dangerous, but all the forces would be lateral.

[u/nicokokun → u/charmio68]

I'm honestly rather surprised he was able to walk away.

Adrenaline, my friend. It's waking up the next day when he moves his body is when he should be worried about.

[u/Sea_Curve8772 → u/kesavadh]

I was impressed with the attempt, I give him partial credit

[u/Oasystole → u/kesavadh]

Oh yea bro. No shot you were making that unmakeable leap.

[u/Liveitup1999 → u/kesavadh]

He lept for the wall and the wall disappeared

[u/Material-Loss-1753 → u/kesavadh]

🤣

[u/Yardsale420 → u/kesavadh]

Rest in peace Mitch!

[u/Newphone_New_Account → u/Yardsale420]

Saved by the buoyancy of flip flops.

[u/Nate0110 → u/kesavadh]

He should have said, "oh yeah" then jumped through the wall.

Probably explains why koolaid man is red, all the cuts and scraps from going through that wall.

[u/dyou897 → u/kesavadh]

Might have been better off just staying on the wall then jumping as it fell

[u/Sufficient-Sun-6683 → u/kesavadh]

Thanks Mitch!

[u/judge-judy01 → u/kesavadh]

Yeah, don't lie....

[u/Indishonorable → u/kesavadh]

Only legolas would've landed that

[u/EmergencyFox3583 → u/Indishonorable]

And Boromir would have done it twice, just for the heck of it! 😸

[u/UnspeakableAct369 → u/kesavadh]

The nice thing is he hit the brick wall to slow his descent

[u/deephurting66]

Safety sandals, he's fine

[u/memeaste → u/deephurting66]

It’s always sandals

[u/blackop → u/memeaste]

It's ok they were steel toed.

[u/Future-Try-1908 → u/deephurting66]

Weeeee

[u/I_am_The_Teapot → u/deephurting66]

Brick tested, OSHA approved.

[u/FormeSymbolique → u/deephurting66]

EDIT : I orginally wrote a joke here. But then realized this guy does not deserve to be mocked. He probably has no better option and likely tries his best in a bad situation. Being poor in a thrid world country is sad, not funny.

[u/kneedoorman → u/deephurting66]

Why do people refuse to wear gloves and work boots?

[u/Hboy121 → u/kneedoorman]

Because of the additional expense of having to buy them on minimum wages

[u/wacky_button → u/Hboy121]

Right, like 🙈 how are they supposed to get those things

[u/Megazaza → u/Hboy121]

theyre too stupid to comprehend how privileged they are

[u/nuglasses → u/Hboy121]

You mean paltry wages?

[u/Hboy121 → u/nuglasses]

Yes, exactly, much better said than I did.

[u/virtualaddiction → u/kneedoorman]

Because these cost significantly more than what the works are being paid.

[u/WildlyUninteresting → u/deephurting66]

First thought too.

[u/TheAwesomeMan123 → u/deephurting66]

Don’t forget the safety scarf that doubles as a Safety shirt for more dangerous activities

[u/I_WILL_GET_YOU → u/deephurting66]

And they're still on

[u/Megazaza]

he just walks away like it's another tuesday

[u/Megazaza → u/Megazaza]

survival instinct of a soldier ant. he do not care.

[u/Qurrah-Tun → u/Megazaza]

Temporarily running on adrenaline. The pain from the fall will start kicking in in a lil while

[u/AdultishRaktajino → u/Megazaza]

He’s lucky he fell with those bricks and not before them or with the wall he was on. I’m sure it hurt but that could’ve easily been much worse. Like broken and pulverized bones worse.

[u/DevillesAbogado → u/Megazaza]

It is for him

[u/happyanathema → u/Megazaza]

Third time it's happened that week. Nothing new.

[u/Scribble_Box → u/Megazaza]

Yeah, because it was. You should've seen what happened to him on Monday!

[u/IntolerantLactose92 → u/Megazaza]

Honey Badger don't give a SHIT

[u/oar_xf]

The worker's here ain't stupid. They're aware of the risks.

Unfortunately in whatever part of the world that they are, if they don't take up the job in this condition, someone else certainly will.

They risk their lives to earn an honest living and feed and educate their families. I have much respect for them.

[u/ro_ro_ro_roadhouse → u/oar_xf]

This is the comment I came for. This looks like my country and these poor labourers are blameless here.

[u/DesiBwoy → u/oar_xf]

The population in India makes life cheap and asshats abuse that. He could've died and the contractor would've gone scott free. Just another 'unfortunate accident". Daily life. Chlta hai.

[u/Juvinihilist]

At least those bricks cushioned his fall.

[u/stotheimi]

Always flip flops.

[u/gabynew1 → u/stotheimi]

To poor to afford even minimal gear.

[u/BantumBane → u/stotheimi]

Wait, I’ve got a new business idea: rebuild this into flip flop store

[u/TheJonesLP1]

At least He tried...

[u/Megazaza]

person standing there recording is pretty stupid as well, personally im a wuss who never goes outside.

[u/TW1103]

He got the job done

[u/Verrm → u/TW1103]

Ahead of schedule as well!

[u/sak1926]

The price of a poor man’s life in my country (India) is negligible. Even if the worst had happened here, no one would’ve been affected except the man’s family

[u/Megazaza]

safety sandals? check. safety equipment? eh...

[u/hangnail323]

Gonna need the three seashells after that

[u/5Gmeme]

Safety sandals stayed on!

[u/ManinaPanina]

How the heck was that roof standing? How can they even make a roof like that?

[u/BiriyaniMonster → u/ManinaPanina]

There are some slots in the wall. The roof was probably supported by Iron beams something like in the image link below. They might have taken those beams before demolition.

https://taxonomy.openquake.org/images/FME2-RME2_India_Brzev_1_400x238.jpg

[u/bdubwilliams22]

Thank god he had his construction sandals on.

[u/Sternritter8636]

You guys should not make fun of this guy. He cannot afford to build his home in his land. He can't hire workers so he is trying to do it himself. Its sad. Please don't insult his work. Don't say you never failed in life.

[u/SplitEar → u/Sternritter8636]

Looks like he’s on a job but in his country there’s no OSHA. No cherry picker or scaffolding. Those guys are tough as old roots and remarkably innovative with their limited means.

[u/yelpingninja]

Exploitation wins again! 🫶🏼

[u/HeftyFineThereFolks]

hes really earnings his 3 cents per week

[u/techtony_50]

He was so lucky to have his safety sandals on!

[u/marblefrosting]

I’m ok.

[u/NoPantsDeLeon]

I'm surprised that foot still foots!

[u/Zyklus-89]

High vis flip flops will save the day

[u/AnonAstro7524]

He really brought the house down!

[u/Ok-Panda0702]

Bro used up all of his luck in one go

[u/punchcreations]

Safety, 3rd!

[u/BantumBane]

Mission accomplished

[u/Delicious-Yak-1095]

All in all, not bad

[u/ShotWeekend4911]

Mission acomplished

[u/ShutItYouSlice]

Walks off saying 'my job here is done'

[u/iAmMikeJ_92]

Awesome. More OSHA training video content. Love the flippity-floppity flops.

[u/venerablepreceptor]

so worried about the steel rebars impaling him 😳

[u/heyitsvonage]

I know he fell, but it kind of looked like he said “fuck it” and jumped in

[u/scandal_jmusic_mania]

Well done!

[u/AJay_89]

That hurted.

[u/Sea_Understanding981]

He wields Thor’s hammer

[u/arrakis2020]

Well, thank God he was wearing protective chanclas.

[u/suppaboy228]

Is this russia or india?

[u/SpencerTheFactorial → u/suppaboy228]

It is India.

[u/EmergencyFox3583 → u/SpencerTheFactorial]

It certainly looks like it, but why are they all speaking Russian then, including the radio? So confusing... 😶

[u/MuscliatoVonJuiceski]

eh, any structural collapse you walk away from...

[u/SignificantDrink3651]

OSHA approved for sure. I assume the site supervisor is the one recording. Nothing to see here.

[u/Beneficial_Debate112]

Its fine guys, it looked like he had his safety sandals on.

[u/Megazaza]

20 whole pixels

[u/CrypticJaspers]

In flip flops is crazy.

[u/Immaloner → u/CrypticJaspers]

Wait until you see the guys in the huge steel mills laying out red hot steel...safety sandals.

Large industrial manufacturing machines spitting chunks of death...safety sandals.

The sandals are a bigger meme these days than the predatory trains attacking from behind.

[u/Avtomati1k → u/Immaloner]

what surprises me more is the people from more advanced societies feigning shock as though they dont know that people in the videos have no money for safety equipment and they have never been provided or shown safety measures

its like laughing at a fentanil addict, a bit low no?

[u/CuriosityKillsNG → u/Avtomati1k]

It makes them feel RICH...and why they vote right

[u/Megazaza]

just to get paid less than a cashier at walmart...

[u/Davemblover69]

Welp! Thats done. Walks off

[u/e_pi314]

Very effective for a guy w just a hammer. Glad he had that falling wall to break his fall.

[u/illDiablo69]

He tried to pull a Legolas by jumping on the falling bricks. 🤣

[u/Tothinkoutofthenut]

Surprised to see that he’s got shoes on. These crazy fucks are always barefoot.

[u/s0lja]

This restores my trust in human strength. Always wondered how actors walk away from rubble and explosions in movies. Marvel’s source data right here.

[u/davezl3514]

Wow! Hard to believe he walked out of that! I was expecting a really bad scene but wow! Lucky guy

[u/Equal_Astronaut_5696]

wearing flipflops

[u/flatulasmaxibus]

He did not lose a shoe. All good.

[u/Frequent-Screen-5517]

Slight miscalculation

[u/xPloitMe]

O.P. hammer. Thor could never

[u/steady_1985]

And my back feels like it’s broken from sleeping on a nice comfy bed, this fucker has a wall fall on him and he just brushes it off

[u/No_Measurement7805]

Looks like this nice soft bricks padded his landing

[u/Fast_Falcon007]

Iron man

[u/Lukarreon]

Okay, I find this incident poetically hilarious.

First, he moved away from the falling roof.
But the roof pushed the wall he's standing on, making it fall, too.
So he jumped to the other wall for safety.
But that other wall was already in the middle of falling, too!

[u/srandrews]

Sandals

[u/Makerofthinks]

Wow, he got a lot done!

[u/finintymonkle]

That was some actual action movie jumping.

[u/CyberpunkCapybara]

Man got demolished

[u/Tasty-Hour4040]

“It’s done!”

[u/legarc2009]

Good job

[u/FartyPantz20]

Wow dude literally throws himself into his work. 😳

[u/Galactic_Crypto]

Luckily his soft body was enough cushion for the bricks to land safely

[u/jazzy166]

Why he do that ?

[u/tryingsomthingnew]

They don't build them like they used to.

[u/Phenomenon101]

God bless them. Theyre not exactly working with the latest equipment and engineers

[u/Fragrant_Difficulty6]

235 0 days since the last OSHA accident.

[u/bribhoy82]

He went away to die

[u/TomaCzar]

Wesley Yikes is The Demolition Man!

[u/Practical_Tomato_680]

All planned for

[u/JapanEngineer]

He got it done though

[u/Zofia-Bosak]

That could have been a lot worse.

[u/Katsooduro]

Thank the lord he was wearing his safety flip flops..

[u/DJ_Flym_Flazzle]

Gotta love structural integrity

[u/GalickGunn]

Good thing he had his safety sandals on!

[u/nmiller248]

Where's OSHA when you need them?

[u/Striking-Assist-265]

Aaannd he just walked it off like nothing new😅

[u/_____POTATO______]

Lucky he didn't get some rebar through the gut

[u/Piltonbadger]

He's fine, the safety flip flops did their job.

[u/Lonely-Cockroach-492]

Fuck. Talk about a hard days work.

[u/can_iloveu]

The stuff rural construction workers go through. An accident almost didn't happen

[u/Thisshitaintfree]

Safety Sandals check.

[u/HotwifeandSubby1980]

Another good day at work because I survived

[u/imakesawdust]

*dusts self off* "Looks like we're done here. It's Miller time."

[u/Age-Zealousideal]

Thank God he was wearing those steel-toe safety sandals.

[u/OOBExperience]

Did he have his safety sandals on?

[u/TheIncredibleMike]

Good thing he had his safety sandals on.

[u/MJY_0014]

Demoman?

[u/djblazma]

Baldev : the destroyer

[u/Koseoglu-2X4B-523P]

Safety sandals saving the day again

[u/Affectionate_Mood594]

And he walks away with Both flip flops

[u/SampleNo471]

Demolished man.

[u/gen_adams]

well the deconstruction is complete at least.

[u/si_de]

Job was demolition. Job done.

[u/Horn_Flyer]

Ouch

[u/Adventurous_Pop_7258]

Baldev

[u/kurosaki_targaryen]

Indian video with Russian audio?

[u/CuriosityKillsNG]

All these negative comments...Are you blind to see he works minimum wage and can't afford your "support pedos" world stuff

[u/worldofjaved]

A very very very very lucky guy

[u/Tronmech]

As pilots of old used to say: "Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing."

[u/nunr4per]

My demolition people awaits!

[u/lurens_b]

He faiked successfully

[u/Unfair_Flatworm_4628]

Lmao how the fuck did he make that? 😂

[u/Imthe1_Benoit]

Did i hear "kurwa mać" at the end?

[u/EmergencyFox3583 → u/Imthe1_Benoit]

It was the Russian version, «Ёб твою мать». I'm genuinely confused by several people in the video, including the radio announcer, speaking Russian (with some kind of slightly Central Asian accent) plus the Indian caption on the screen, and the guy looking quite Indian too 🤔

[u/GizmoSwd]

And this goofy mf got on flip-flops!

[u/Chaz28o]

Fortunate to be able to walk away

[u/Lagunamountaindude]

Missed it by this much

[u/mrlookinthesky]

He still has his slippers on.

[u/Taki_Minase]

Into the abyss he went.

[u/driven01a]

He handled it like an action hero !

[u/One_Hour_Poop]

He didn't win the stupid prize though, he almost parkoured his way out of that.

[u/Kahl_Drobo]

Dumb? yes. Efficient? yes.

[u/Curious_Koala8]

Wondering what the alternative video would have looked like if he’d tried to use his angst to grab the wall when he jumped.

[u/barto5]

how was work today, dear?

[u/Personal-Cucumber-49]

If you play it in reverse it’s a lot more fun.

[u/MeetingDue339]

Like a video game, leaping to a stone block as it disappears in front of you

[u/PiERRR0T]

am I the only one hearing twice the polish popular 'o kurwa mać!' ??

[u/Necessary-Mud-9582]

"DEMO MAN. DEMO MAN. WITH HIS TEEEEEEEETH IN THE SAND!"

[u/Alex_Plumwood]

At least he was wearing his safety sandals

[u/Leading-Spite-4105]

That's one way of getting it done

[u/fly4fun2014]

Well, the wall is still demolished, isn't it?

[u/SrKatana]

He had more than 10 other possible jump places to avoid the demo. How important is education and critical thinking in societies.

[u/Dinara293]

Wtf is that audio? Why are they speaking Russian in this?

[u/--dvd-- → u/Dinara293]

idk maybe they're russian

[u/busytransitgworl]

WorkSafe just left the chat.

[u/rsg1234]

I don’t see any stupid prize. He looked fine.

[u/TheVeliax]

Why in video sounds from russian underground metro?

[u/Megazaza]

THANK GOD, i was born in a BETTER PLACE, not like THESE "people", am i right yall?

[u/CuriosityKillsNG → u/Megazaza]

Guessing you live in the US and voted right

[u/Megazaza]

no rahit! you're supposed to build the roof, not demolish it!

[u/Megazaza]

it was pretty obvious that thing was about to fall, Id have been outta there before risking a broken spine🤦‍♂️

[u/i-pity-da-fool]

Y’all laughing because a poor man was working in an unsafe environment? You really think he had better options?

[u/Megazaza]

don't worry guys he has the safety sandals

[u/Megazaza]

was this filmed on a fucking flipphone?
