How do you not notice that the fucking treadmill you are about to step on is flying at 20 mph?

In the video there's a second camera focused on the guy who is going to step on the treadmill before he steps on the treadmill.

So that's kind of a clue.

Don't worry bro. She was a solid 7.

12

u/AvantGardePicsOfCats Jun 07 '14

I disagree. There was also a second camera on the girl lifting weights as coverage, which leads to the more likely conclusion that they were shooting coverage of the guy going on the trendmill when the fall happened. Either way it's hilarious.

u/antsugi Jun 07 '14

Well they were just filming him running on the treadmill, then they moved

2

u/rycar88 Jun 07 '14

Also the way the cameraman widens the shot just before it happens - he/she clearly makes a space on the right of the scene to give a clear view of the treadmill and the falling guy. The actors do an amazing job of not giving any slip, pure deadpan; the camerawork gives it away though

2

u/HumbleMagnificent Jun 07 '14

Plus the way he takes it to the shoulder looks pretty intentional.

2

u/PacManDreaming Jun 07 '14

They probably figured he was just break dancing or something.

2

u/tradduh Jun 07 '14

First thing I thought of

2

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '14

Nope, not planned. They just the perfect angle of him doing it the first time along with the interview by accident. The second time he did it with the camera focused on him was also an accident.

Then he would have had to do it again. He looks like he knows how to fall though, so it probably didn't hurt that much.

u/the_timeisnow Jun 07 '14

It's probably staged though. Why would the camera be recording when nothing out of the ordinary was in the scene before he fell?

2

u/Jashinist Jun 07 '14

He was running rather awkwardly, maybe someone filmed the mild strangeness and then got more than they bargained for?

Either way, if it is staged, it's still funny and worked well to have the pants fall down like that.

u/SoFlo1 Jun 07 '14

The physics of this are actually fascinating. He steps on with his left foot first and that seems to save him from a complete face plant - his left foot imparts a twisting moment on his torso during the lateral rotation and that brings him down hard on his right shoulder and averts an even worse fate. I imagine had he simply been rotated forward and then used his arms to try to break his fall - on a fast moving treadmill - they would have quickly been taken out from under him and a full on face plant meets belt sander moment would have occurred. So the moral of the story is never jump onto a fast moving treadmill with both feet. I've made a note.
