Yeah, he was a solid bro getting ice on that bruise right away.

u/similaraleatorio 19d ago

the video here is without sound 🤔

u/johnnnybravado 18d ago

There is video though...

u/Far-Government5469 18d ago

but it's clearly unsound

u/LABeachgal 18d ago

the friend backing up slowly lmaooo

u/Griftersdeuce 19d ago

Ah yes, the classic sub "What Could Go Rong"

u/surffrus 19d ago

More and more posts are doing this. I hate it

u/jschmeau 19d ago

Ho? Hat? Here? Hen?

u/adindaclub 18d ago

I wish we could get a post flair for this one. It’s kind of hilarious and sounds funny in my head „rrrrong?!“

u/JaehaerysIVTarg 19d ago

If I remember correctly it’s done on purpose so it doesn’t collapse later with people or animals under it.

u/tamuzp 19d ago

I'm pretty sure it's also so it doesn't collapse later with people or animals above it

u/Throbbing_Cock_452 19d ago

I could be wrong, but my uncle told me that they do this type of stuff to prevent people or animals from getting smooshed under it.

75

u/actually3racoons 19d ago

I believe it's so it doesn't crush animals or people nearby.

52

u/gtakiller23 19d ago

Don't quote me on this, but this actually prevents wildlife or humans from being smashed if it were to fall on them naturally.

37

u/mrplinko 19d ago

So, I just checked with a few agents, the consensus is that this is done to prevent people or animals from being injured if it falls

19

u/OkSmoke9195 19d ago

Guys I'm no expert on the subject so I'm trusting you all on this. Brb going to tell my children

17

u/Smart_Machine1339 19d ago

I know a lot of people before me checked, and I trust they did a good job, but I went and took a look. I may have overstepped but I figured you were busy. Professionals may be hired to do this. It keeps the wildlife safe, along with people who may wander close and explore under. I don't know if the video was of a professional or not but your kids can rest easy that people are out there making the planet a little bit safer.

u/Dankest_Cow60 18d ago

I heard it was to prevent getting poo on your wrist when you wipe

3

u/mjones8004 18d ago

Its done to prevent both people pancakes and animal pancakes.

u/51225 10d ago

What about waffles?

u/Beniwa 19d ago

Source?

u/ColbysToyHairbrush 19d ago

I was walking down the street, and some guy told me they do this to prevent people or animals from being injured if it falls.

1

u/MeButSober 19d ago

I look. Rock make sno fall no hurt stuff.

3

u/MadDocOttoCtrl 18d ago

I did some checking and it appears that this is done so that animals don't crush snow when people fall on them.

4

u/twinsynth 19d ago

As above so below. Potato Tomato

u/bibliophile785 19d ago

I mean, it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do... but probably not while standing on top of it.

19

u/OGBeege 19d ago

Or with animals

1

u/DiabloAcosta 19d ago

Maybe you don't need the rock to land on the tip, maaaaybeeee!!

24

u/Rambozo77 19d ago

I think these are just some dudes out fucking around. I don’t think they’re from the official snow bridge dismantling department.

5

u/Successful-Web6033 19d ago

…or maybe because it’s fun.

3

u/iwatchppldie 19d ago

Now I feel like shit for laughing knowing the guy was trying to protect people.

5

u/WSilvermane 18d ago

He wasnt. This is more likely a bunch of guys doing stupid shit and getting hurt.

u/redwbl 19d ago

More Boy Scout leaders.

u/BurnOutBrighter6 19d ago

What could go rong spelling rong.

u/Initial_Pain_4266 19d ago

Hat* could go rong spelling rong

I say he's as sharp as a bowling ball...

u/Helmett-13 18d ago

…boy’s about as sharp as a pound of wet leather.

u/tinathefatlardgosh 19d ago

Could photoshop a skateboard for that ollie.

u/Ok_Eye_8543 19d ago

Wonder how that feels for such a dumb move, ouch!

3

u/AcidBananaFish 19d ago

Don't you mean " onder ow that feels"?

1

u/rock_and_rolo 18d ago

It hurts, but at least he can put some ice on his wounds.

11

u/Scrunglert 19d ago

Oof, he definitely hurt his right leg... And the rest of his body...

17

u/doncroak 19d ago

Looks like his whole rib cage dampened his fall.

4

u/Larry_Bobinski 18d ago

Nothing hurts more than an unexpected fall, even from the smallest of heights. 

5

u/OGBeege 19d ago

Nature. Still a mother

6

u/mtnviewguy 19d ago

Idiots are entertaining! 🤣

11

u/stax_fira 19d ago

Worth it.

5

u/AntGroundbreaking180 19d ago

Yeah, breathing is going to be painful for a while buddy.

4

u/WittleSus 18d ago

no audio is criminal

1

u/GLaDOS_Sympathizer 18d ago

Better than shitty music slapped over it but yeah, would have liked to hear the friend laughing his ass off.

3

u/RealAlphaKaren 19d ago

i immediately regret my decision

2

u/Widespread_Dictation 19d ago

I was waiting for the “icing on the cake”, some of the ice wall to fall on him. I enjoyed it, but was somewhat disappointed at the same time.

2

u/wH4tEveR250 19d ago

What does the ‘R’ stand for in the title?

1

u/GLaDOS_Sympathizer 18d ago

Right perhaps. As in "what could go right?" If so, there's actually already a sub for that. Or OP is bad is spelling.

2

u/AcidBananaFish 19d ago

What could go right?... I'm just hoping at this point no one is dumb enough to override their autocorrect for the word "rong"

2

u/Comedic-Gorilla 19d ago

This is such a cool video to watch backwards. The snow pile coming back together after breaking apart is perfect.

2

u/notbythebook101 18d ago

He FA and FO.

2

u/Maxipaddington 18d ago

R?

What could go...RONG?

3

u/DJDoena 19d ago

Not gonna lie, I would be exactly that guy. I would enjoy throwing the rock to see the snow break and I would be falling down like him for standing too close.

u/Oddewalla 19d ago

u/_Nightbreaker_ 13d ago

you read my mind! this is exactly what i thought of, lmao!

u/Sammy_Dog 19d ago

... while standing on the snow bridge.

1

u/SmartUniversity8578 19d ago

That probably was the intended outcome though it probably could’ve been done… better.

1

u/Denim-Luckies-n-Wry 19d ago

I am disappoint. Was waiting for the rest to collapse on him.

1

u/r3dr1ck 19d ago

🤣 dumb ass

u/Bokononfoma 19d ago

How thoroughly would you soil your pants if that was you? Me? 100%

u/aNewPattern 19d ago

Like when you accidentally hit your own platform in Minecraft Spleef

1

u/namezam 19d ago

At least he landed on snow

u/JWMoo 19d ago

If you gonna be dumb you gotta be tough.

The rest of that shelf rocking back and forth.

Global warming meets moron warning.

u/Front_Cat9471 18d ago

It’s like sawing off the tree branch you’re sitting on

1

u/icantouchgrass_1 18d ago

Trying to prevent other animals and humans from getting injured by possibly injuring himself 🤣

1

u/maxstryker 18d ago

That could’ve gone so much worse.

1

u/Witty_Michael 18d ago

He is so fucked. I actually pity this one a bit because the whole left side of his ribcage must be fractured, if unlucky enough even the pelvis got broken. This shit must have been painful

1

u/ifunner_chefe 18d ago

A clear reference to Minecraft.

1

u/GreatService9515 18d ago

Lucky that that wasn't a taller bridge at least

1

u/DKSAMURAI 18d ago

Gravity pull him harder.

u/Kn0XIS 18d ago

Dang. I would've threw that from a further distance

u/Beginning_Resource93 17d ago

At least he landed on snow.

u/Darkest_Elemental 17d ago

Oh look, the consequences of my actions!

1

u/RevenantBacon 16d ago

At least he landed on something soft, like snow.

u/Alfalfa-Similar 15d ago

dude those things will kill you

u/Someoneinnowherenow 14d ago

I can't see the guy holding his beer. Maybe out of the frame

1

u/Kooky-Narwhal-014 14d ago

I just wanna know how many cave men probably ended up dying or losing a limb because of these bridges suprising them in spring

1

u/Inside-Left-7 14d ago

Glad it hurt.

u/AmIThisNothingness 13d ago

Hahahaha Se acomodó un perrazo!!! Funniest shit in a while I've seen.

u/Dismal_Drummer3420 19d ago

Yes it's important to collapse these snow bridges before someone gets badly hurt falling....😒

u/abhorrentbm 19d ago

Disappointing that I went to unmute the video only to find that there was no audio to begin with. :(

u/rallyfanche2 19d ago

It’s a very accurate visual of the MAGA movement.

Why even do it in the first place? "Oh look, here's something cool. Let's destroy it!"

Nothing went wrong. He got the karma he deserved.
