I'm still young, but also a good 50-60lbs heavier than when I would do stuff like that. Even just crawling on the ground feels more intense than when youre a scrawny teenager. Those shock absorbers just didnt have to do much work back then
I cracked up when they tried to grab his legs assuming to help guide them to the chair, that would've worked about as well as anything else they did. Lol just the mental image of him just faceplanting from that 🤣
To be fair, the ladder was broken in half and therefore couldn't be put where it was initially resting on. But even a half ladder held by both women would have been better than what they did.
Edit, The ladder was not broken but unfolded. And they were not capable of snapping it back.
That’s a joke, right? The half ladder part reads like it was supposed to be the sell, but with the number of the silly comments on this sub that are dead serious I genuinely can’t tell.
For anyone nodding in agreement while they read the previous comment, the ladder couldn’t be put where it was initially resting because there was a human against the wall where they tried to lean it. It could’ve easily been placed right next to him and would have functioned just fine.
I was wondering why can't the 3 of them just stand around him and tell him to let go. There are enough people to grab him and slow his fall, and his legs are only like what, 6 ft from the ground?
I was thinking 3-4 ft, and why didn't he just drop down? Not sure if it's real or fake, but I think I would rather it be fake and there not really be this level of incompetence in the world.
This would be me dangling like 6” off the ground freaking out about the drop. I hate jumping/dropping down off anything. (But in fairness, I am a wuss. And have a history of back problems/surgery)
just, no, no I don't need a chair, move the ladder away, PLEASE just move everything away, move everything away I can drop safely, NO I DONT NEED A CHAIR. I don't, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for yelling at you, NO DONT PUT THAT, I DONT NEED- STOP TOUCHING ME. Thank you. I'm sorry for yelling. drops down calmly
For me, the first two-thirds was just lots of swearing behind groans to hold on. On the last third, he eventually told them to fudge off and to clear the floor for him to drop
Well if I was this man we would be doing practice situations for everything because I would not trust these idiot to make it out of the house. If a fire started.
But here you go: https://youtu.be/j7Ul1Izau9c the action buildup starts at around 1:30, you can skip over to 1:50 but you really should just palp the buildup of the fact that he has been heating up that oil for SEVEN MINUTES
My wife is a lovely woman. But when faced with situations like this her brain shuts off. She’s way more educated than I am, her brain is just wired to freeze. I have 2 examples. Both examples were caused by my mistakes, but now that shit went wrong she froze. #1: I was unhooking a loaded trailer from my Landcruiser. I had the trailer loaded improperly and should have chocked the wheels better. When the trailer gets unhooked, the tongue swoops up, and the trailer starts rolling toward the cruiser, and the tongue will punch through the rear window. I place my feet against the front of the trailer and my hands against the cruiser. Imagine my body being parallel to the ground keeping the trailer from breaking the rear window. Im yelling for my wife. I’m yelling and yelling. She steps outside, looks at the situation and says, “what?”. What do you mean what? I look like Wiley E Coyote here! #2: I made homemade nachos and forgot them in the oven. They start on fire 🔥. I grab the tray and run for the closed front door. My wife is sitting there watching me run with a burning tray. Just watching. Not jumping up to get the door. I yell, “get the door!”. She yells back, “I can’t read your mind!”. LOL.
Lol, like when my oldest was 2 and I slipped down the stairs while carrying her. Besides the crashing sound of me sliding down the stairs and cursing, my daughter started crying when we hit the landing.
I yell for my wife and she rushes to the top of the stairs, sees us lying on the landing. My daughter still crying loudly and me wincing on the ground with my back arched.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Grab our crying daughter and see if she is ok! I'm in too much pain to think!"
Then later on, "Why were you yelling at me? I can't read your mind."
I'm not saying your wife is a master at handling stressful situations but she's right. You could have easily told her, in those situations, what you wanted her to do.
Fuckin' thank you, all these comments are dunking on the women for being stupid and useless, when in reality every single person in this video was an important essential ingredient in this dumbass pie.
Not just the flip flops, that ladder is a piece of shit, doesn't even look like it has rubberized or stabilized feet in any way. And clearly a stepladder would have been better here.
Like how did they even decide this was a good idea.
Uselessness aside, there was also zero sense of urgency. It's as if they thought he could just hang there indefinitely without eventually losing his grip.
It makes me sad that they don’t know how to use a ladder.
Why don’t men teach their daughters how to use tools and be good helpers?
I don’t have kids, but dude has cute daughters that are absolutely useless in an emergency and I’m sure each of them have the aptitude to learn basic tool use.
Watching the average person deal with any sort of vaguely dangerous situation is a wild reminder of how separated we are from the environment that our genetic ancestors survived to get us here.
I was thinking "Stop, move that shit from under the man. He can drop down safely if you just move. Are you TRYING to have him break his neck falling those chairs?"
I'm glad it ended ok for him, but damn that was crazy to watch.
I just imagine him yelling at them “MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! MOVE THE CHAIRS! NO, DON’T GET MORE CHAIRS! MOVE THE LADDER OUT OF THE WAY! DON’T HOLD ON TO MY LEGS! AWW SHIT I ALMOST FELL! EVERYBODY GET OUT OF THE FUCKIN WAY!!!”
So much drama & that whole time my man could’ve just jumped down.. at first I was shocked at how many women it took to (not) figure that out. But then even more so when he just dropped to his feet so casually..
What must it be like for these ladies to go through life being this incompetent and this unable to handle a situation? I imagine it’s basically like being slightly mentally disabled.
is she completely incompetent at handling anything that has mass? its a ladder, not a clean and press with oly plate weights. thats concerning that it took 3 women to do nothing in the time the dude was hanging lol
I’ve now been in a few emergency situations where everyone around me goes dumb and I’m springing into quick action. I didn’t know this was in me but it’s happened enough that you’ll want me around in an emergency.

My anxiety went up each time they sat a chair under him…
I mean he didn't need any of that, he wasn't that high!
We didn't administer a field sobriety test though
Depends. When I was 12-30: not that high. Now that I'm 43: REALLY FUCKING HIGH
When I was a kid, I would jump off the roof for fun.
Now I’m old, I compacted a disk stepping off the curb.
I'm still young, but also a good 50-60lbs heavier than when I would do stuff like that. Even just crawling on the ground feels more intense than when youre a scrawny teenager. Those shock absorbers just didnt have to do much work back then
I used to jump out my second story window onto a trampoline just to get to the school bus. I miss those days.
Are you a cartoon
I pulled a muscle while stretching my muscle yesterday
I'm 49. I don't WANT to drop 5 feet, but I know how to do it fairly safely and that I can if I have to.
Fr. My knees were scared for him.
Hopefully he didn’t have bad knees.
He does now.
The older I get, jumping from heights, even low ones, really tests the undercarriage integrity trying to hold all my internal organs in.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking lmao. Just drop and bend the knees when you land. It’s like ~5 feet.
You can still sustain some injuries from that like spraining an ankle, but landing on a chair would be way worse.
Oh for sure. Could you imagine landing on the chair, losing your balance and flipping and smacking your head/shoulders on the ground? Yeeeouuch!! 😖
Yeah that's a good way to turn a sprained ankle into a traumatic brain injury!
Lol the responses to this really show the age of people on here
lol right? It was under 5 feet.
Definitely feels higher than you are if you're not used to it though. From where he's looking that's a 10 foot drop
And they weren't that bright! :)
I imagine him yelling, "I DON'T NEED A GODDAMN CHAIR!" each time.
I'm surprised they didn't run in and grab a bedsheet to use to catch him.
A stack of chairs as well
I've heard that some people believe the ending is AI, and he's still hanging there to this day... while they are shopping at ikea for more chairs
I cracked up when they tried to grab his legs assuming to help guide them to the chair, that would've worked about as well as anything else they did. Lol just the mental image of him just faceplanting from that 🤣
Especially when there's a parachute right there by the window. ffs. Grab that, put up the ladder, climb up and strap the parachute on him. smh.
After 23 minutes of hanging:
They’re on item number 54…..
“Pot of boiling water! I saw it once in a movie!”
“That was a movie about childbirth during a bombing of London!”
“That wasn’t a movie, it was Call the Midwife!”
lol I was going to write that
"Stop giving me things that come apart!"
Could you be more useless lol
Worse than useless. Those chairs were a recipe for disaster.
My skin crawled when they put the small chair under him and the ladder behind. Perfect combination for breaking your spine on a ladder.
They were setting up the wrestling spot.
Not to mention dropping the ladder directly beneath. I was relieved when the brunette gave it a half hearted kick away.
And she was pulling him down so he could reach the chair 😂
These are people that have never needed to use their brains in their entire lives.
Never had a moment of real stress once.
They definitely are not cheerleaders. I could think of at least two ways to safely lower him to the ground.
Sorry, best we can do is pull on your legs while you're hanging there.

Hey, babe: can you hold the ladder so I don’t die?
Panic does weird things to people
I feel like panic would’ve given them more of a sense of urgency, they were moving at a real leisurely pace
Somehow they had zero pillows or couch cushions in the home
She was probably supposed to be holding the ladder in the first place
Am I wrong in thinking that they were worse than useless here ?
Technically they did nothing to help except probably freak him out by putting injurious objects beneath him
and trying to pull he down unto them.
If you like someone, help them break their legs so you can keep them at home longer

First horror movie I remember watching that wasn't a monster movie, and that scene stuck to me. Bates did a good job of being scary.
r/yandere
You are correct. They only made it worse
USE THE LADDER.
USE THE LADDER AS A LADDER.
IF ONLY WE HAD SOME SORT OF LADDER-LIKE OBJECT TO USE AS A LADDER.
They tried to help with the ladder but at one point they even turned it around so they made things worse.
How about this chair?
Ohhhhh, well how about this chair?
Wait! I got it! We can use this stack of chairs!
To be fair, the ladder was broken in half and therefore couldn't be put where it was initially resting on. But even a half ladder held by both women would have been better than what they did.
Edit, The ladder was not broken but unfolded. And they were not capable of snapping it back.
The ladder was not broken. I was a folding style ladder instead of a collapsible one that slides together into the base segment.
I know people don’t think clearly in a panic, but the lack of problem solving ability in this video was painful
Did you like being a ladder?
I was like “what is he talking about?” And then I saw the typo 💀. I’m just gonna leave it like that because it’s funny
I grew up with a step-ladder. I never knew my real ladder.
I hope your step ladder gave you a leg up in life
What are you doing step ladder?
Did that leave you broken like this ladder in the video?
Good stuff. Lol
Oh yeah you're right, I stand corrected.
Unlike the ladder
It stand corrected.
Tbf it might as well have been broken considering the problem solving on display.
That’s a joke, right? The half ladder part reads like it was supposed to be the sell, but with the number of the silly comments on this sub that are dead serious I genuinely can’t tell.
For anyone nodding in agreement while they read the previous comment, the ladder couldn’t be put where it was initially resting because there was a human against the wall where they tried to lean it. It could’ve easily been placed right next to him and would have functioned just fine.
It would have been enough to use it as a folding ladder.
Someone else pointed out that it is a folding ladder not a sliding one.
I was wondering why can't the 3 of them just stand around him and tell him to let go. There are enough people to grab him and slow his fall, and his legs are only like what, 6 ft from the ground?
I think it’s clear they don’t have the athletic capability to do anything remotely like that
Well at least your idea is better than chairs, still worse than simply clearing the area and letting him fall though
I was thinking 3-4 ft, and why didn't he just drop down? Not sure if it's real or fake, but I think I would rather it be fake and there not really be this level of incompetence in the world.
They should pile more stuff under him so injury is guaranteed. He looks like he could use the hospital vacation.
This would be me dangling like 6” off the ground freaking out about the drop. I hate jumping/dropping down off anything. (But in fairness, I am a wuss. And have a history of back problems/surgery)
I feel ya, and I have twisted many an ankle for some dumb shit like this. Still, hope he had very good arms.
No, that ladder wasn’t broken. I was just a piece of shit.
Don't be so hard on yourself. Any ladder could have folded under that kinda pressure.
It wasnt broken, the woman twisted the locking controls and snapped it out of place
Hope that was a Puppycat reference that scene is hilarious.
USE THE SWORD AS A SWORD!
*chomp*

Haha
Haha being spied on is so funny 🤣🤣
I can clearly hear the dialogue and the tones at which words are being spoken.
just, no, no I don't need a chair, move the ladder away, PLEASE just move everything away, move everything away I can drop safely, NO I DONT NEED A CHAIR. I don't, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for yelling at you, NO DONT PUT THAT, I DONT NEED- STOP TOUCHING ME. Thank you. I'm sorry for yelling. drops down calmly
And someone MOVE THE FUCKING DOG!
Lol or the guy was telling them exactly what to do and they complied before he got too tired and dropped down
And then they get mad that he yelled at them.
What did you get from it
For me, the first two-thirds was just lots of swearing behind groans to hold on. On the last third, he eventually told them to fudge off and to clear the floor for him to drop
It's amazing how some people go to neanderthal levels of thinking when faced with a specific situation.
It's like watching someone push a square through a triangle hole lol
Everyone knows that it always goes in the square hole
Neanderthals were highly intelligent and adept problem solvers. They wouldn't have survived long if they had the intelligence of a domesticated human.
I feel like actual Neanderthals would have been much better at this situation
Well if I was this man we would be doing practice situations for everything because I would not trust these idiot to make it out of the house. If a fire started.
They'd be that boy from an old Russian vid that throws a full glass of water into a pan full of oil

Gotta keep the intrigue!
But here you go: https://youtu.be/j7Ul1Izau9c the action buildup starts at around 1:30, you can skip over to 1:50 but you really should just palp the buildup of the fact that he has been heating up that oil for SEVEN MINUTES

Then later on, "Why were you yelling at me? I can't read your mind."
I just say to my wife "you cannot handle adversity well"
I think our wives are related..
Idk man, you sound like the problem is these scenarios! 😂
I'm not saying your wife is a master at handling stressful situations but she's right. You could have easily told her, in those situations, what you wanted her to do.
Was she trying to knock him down with… the ladder?
Maybe she should have started wacking him with a broom?
He's only 5 feet up!
"Just get everything out from under me! No, no chairs. No ,no ladder! Just clear it out so I can let go! No, not that chair either. Good! " (Let's go)
It isnt that far of drop. Move everything out of the way so he can drop.
OR That looks like a bendable ladder... move it where it needs to go.
idiots - every single one of them
Everyone's blaming them, but did you see the guy climbing a ladder with no supports in flip flops??
I dunno if this is a family or business or whatever, but clearly they all share the same couple neurons lolol.
Fuckin' thank you, all these comments are dunking on the women for being stupid and useless, when in reality every single person in this video was an important essential ingredient in this dumbass pie.
Not just the flip flops, that ladder is a piece of shit, doesn't even look like it has rubberized or stabilized feet in any way. And clearly a stepladder would have been better here.
Like how did they even decide this was a good idea.
Uselessness
Not alot of IQ amongst them lol
Those women are a disaster to have around
Their lack of urgency is staggering
The smallest one did the only helpful thing by removing the dog.
that dog went over and was like “what are yall doing”
Pulling on his legs was the smart move.
Just leave him up there as part of the decorations.
I hate everyone in this video
It's his own fault for using that ladder on that slick floor. Especially with no capable helper.
Ummm is anyone going to address the fact it was like 4ft off the ground?! 😐😐😐😐😐
If only someone would clear away the people and the damn chairs.
Looks like the ladder was set up upside down.
She literally held the ladder under his legs haha
Climbing ladders in sandals is also a very bad idea.
They did everything right... to maximize the damage to this guy.
Gosh I wish this demonstration of pure genius had sound.
Only if the lady knows how to set a ladder ... or the man to set it right from the start
That Florida water hits different
It's like 6 feet. Just get the fuck out of the way.
Even the ladder was like "You know I fold, right? Here, let me show you".
You could make half a brain between all of them.
"The collective IQ of that room would double if a dog wandered in"
It's when they grab his legs to make them touch the chairs...
Stephanie he doesn't want one chair he needs a stack of chairs
Absolutely useless
They nearly broke his spine leaving the ladder behind him. And now he's probably funked up his knees the way he landed
https://i.redd.it/khw1sb32gl6g1.gif
Worst spotter ever.
next time on Fire Department Chronicles
This is so frustrating it feels scripted.
Uselessness aside, there was also zero sense of urgency. It's as if they thought he could just hang there indefinitely without eventually losing his grip.
I would commit suicide after if this happened to me lol
It looks like he had the rubber feet up top.
Him just dropping and breaking his ankles would be less painful than watching this
This was agonizing to watch
Hes got fukn flip flops on. GTFO.
Crazy to think we went from taking down mammoths to this
every time they tried to pull him down i winced a little.
Thankfully he was wearing his safety sandals.
It makes me sad that they don’t know how to use a ladder.
Why don’t men teach their daughters how to use tools and be good helpers?
I don’t have kids, but dude has cute daughters that are absolutely useless in an emergency and I’m sure each of them have the aptitude to learn basic tool use.
Wow that’s bad luck.
I'd worry about what would happen to that family after I'm gone
I like how she justs gives up and goes away
Bro was like five feet up
That family wants him dead.
It's not a big fall. Just let go man.
If you ever find yourself in this situatuon remember to "pre fold" a little bit your knees so they dont lock in when you fall and snap them backwards
When you finally understand that you need to move on from the people around you.
Thank you for this. I needed a good laugh to start my day
Watching the average person deal with any sort of vaguely dangerous situation is a wild reminder of how separated we are from the environment that our genetic ancestors survived to get us here.
I really hope there's another dude around if shit goes wrong lololol
Could these women be any more useless or detrimental in this situation?
This is why you need to tie the ladder at the top....typical men....smh
And whats going on with the folks moving chairs around.....typcial women...smh
These are typical Humans....smh
First I was like, "nobody's that fucking stupid" then I looked up from my phone at my coworkers so nvm.
Landing on his feet after dangling that long probably felt wonderful
Continuing to put chairs there. Was like someone playing Trivial Pursuit and calling out the wrong answer repeatedly
Goddamn they are so useless
I was thinking "Stop, move that shit from under the man. He can drop down safely if you just move. Are you TRYING to have him break his neck falling those chairs?"
I'm glad it ended ok for him, but damn that was crazy to watch.
If this was me at 25, I’d jump from twice that height for fun.
Today at over 50… I walk gingerly down carpeted stairs.
Time, and my own “carefreeness” (read: stupidity) has not been kind to my ankles and knees and hips and… basically everything.
This HAS to be fake..
why didn’t he just drop from the very beginning. it’s only like a few feet up
Just drop. It ain't that far.
I just imagine him yelling at them “MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! MOVE THE CHAIRS! NO, DON’T GET MORE CHAIRS! MOVE THE LADDER OUT OF THE WAY! DON’T HOLD ON TO MY LEGS! AWW SHIT I ALMOST FELL! EVERYBODY GET OUT OF THE FUCKIN WAY!!!”
They have problem solving skills of a houseplant
Guess they stopped teaching "Ladder 1A" [Advanced course] in High School, huh?!
This is why you can't trust people in the middle of a crisis...
So much drama & that whole time my man could’ve just jumped down.. at first I was shocked at how many women it took to (not) figure that out. But then even more so when he just dropped to his feet so casually..
What must it be like for these ladies to go through life being this incompetent and this unable to handle a situation? I imagine it’s basically like being slightly mentally disabled.
I was waiting for one of them to grab his legs and pull.
Zero problem-solving skills.
Just drop down you wimp. What was he waiting for? the perfect airbed? He was literally just dropping 2m. What a loser.
Could also go on r/maybemaybemaybe
is she completely incompetent at handling anything that has mass? its a ladder, not a clean and press with oly plate weights. thats concerning that it took 3 women to do nothing in the time the dude was hanging lol
Well that didn't end the way I thought it would
I’ve now been in a few emergency situations where everyone around me goes dumb and I’m springing into quick action. I didn’t know this was in me but it’s happened enough that you’ll want me around in an emergency.
Think this is what one would call women idiots! Three of them don't equal one braincel? It's embarrassing to our sex
