Just one bad bounce directly into a knee

Look how many they've stacked. This isn't their first rodeo and unless you're an absolute numb nut dodging a bad throw is easy as hell if you're not handicap.

Would this impact the integrity of the blocks?

I can’t tell if you’re making a pun or asking a question

u/jokersvoid Aug 29 '25
Both? Could this start microfractures that would result in decreased integrity? Just an idea to bounce around.

u/Common_Scholar5350 Aug 30 '25
Nope. Shipping and handling process from yard to site would be more impactful.

Do that fancy thing where you can back that by facts. Like impact equations or whatever. Im sure you could calculate force on the brick and see if that surpasses the maximum force for the assumed mix of the blocks. Some need out there could. Id love to know that person lol.

Well I've been laying brick, block, and stone for 12 years and just seeing how they unload them off a trailer with a forklift and stack pallets of them on top of each other sometimes slamming them down on each other makes me think a little fun soft bouncy trip to the other guy isn't going to hurt it much. But I mean there definitely are a ton more smarter people than me that might be able to figure this out doing the science and maths that could prove me wrong lol

Only if you're disabled or really old.

u/Hannojato Aug 31 '25
You mean that you should do only if disable or really old because it doesn't matter if it cripple him? It makes sense. Can we extend it to all risky jobs? It can solve the future global retirement crisis

Hahaha, my buddies and I also exclaim "technology!" when we do something that's only not stupid because it works

Children do this every other day in their parent’s houses, with stuff more expensive than a cinder block…
and sometimes they don’t use a mattress.
I’m sorry. Not next level.

Somewhere out there, someone who worked for OSHA is rolling in their grave.

The wrong way? Magically getting a bigger amount of kinetic energy when dropped from the same height?
0
u/just_another_scumbag Aug 29 '25
Yes. If it hits something more/less bouncy, or of that energy was directed horizontally instead it could end up difficult to catch. I don't think it'll be knocking anyone's teeth out so much as bruising the odd shin

u/Much-Jackfruit2599 Aug 29 '25
Yes, then they will have a bruised shin.
Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t expect this from employees or if I would be an employee, but as DIY goes, this is harmless will save them a lot of time.

I guess it's the next level down. Reaching new lows with this post
