I was sitting in one area my then girlfriend’s parents house and the bar across the seat front broke. Seat was cloth. Me and the pug just sitting on the ground just as we were in the chair.
I had a bench swing on my porch. But I have three goats. I had to take it down because those damn goats wouldn't stay off of it. They would even fight over the damn thing.
Yeah man I came here to say that. I'm kinda envious, I'd probably be like 'what the fuck, world?' where this guy is like 'ah good one world, you got me again haha'
I aspire to be more like the man that broke the bench thing
Ive been there. And I'm even skinnier than this dude. Everyone who sat in my swinging chair had 50 pounds or more on me, but the next time I sit in it I hit the floor. I had the same exact look as this guy haha
Hon, I know you’re a DIYer and all. But if you really want to install that sex swing in the bedroom, we need to have a little chat about the porch swing. You absolutely must find a stud and use long enough screws, otherwise even just a little feather like yourself will make it fall. That will be good for no one. I’m just glad it happened to me and not you.
BTW THAT Chain is kinda flimsy for that job too. It has lots of problems but starting with a solid mount is in the instructions and it wasn’t anchored correctly with that thin of a chain . All the Good ones Ive sat in can hold 3 people = THICK ASS CHAIN INTO big STUDS WITH big ass bolts - and huge Nuts
Lol 😂
whoever installed the bench skipped structures 101. Probably bolted in with drywall screws instead of anchoring it to a beam with properly sized wood anchors.
You know? This video popped up for me when it was posted, and again now. I didn’t notice his right arm coming sideways as a reaction to the (initially) sideways fall. It’s amazing how quick the body reacts.
That's my entire point. It couldn't have been done right for the failure to be so basic. That was not a catastrophic failure at all. It is clear that the force necessary to cause the failure was minimal.
Have you ever heard of that ? I know it’s in my home 🏡 but not in regular houses . The way I know is it keeps making a nice pile of dust that’s white , when using a titanium bit , but really feels like concrete- we don’t know what it is . There’s 4 inches of it
Seriously, there's ratings on chains and bolts and stuff. Plus you should include a safety margin. Like when I bolted my kids swing to my deck with four bolts rates to 800lbs total, and my father in law is like, "oh my God, are those bolts going to hold!?" Yeah, I think we're good for supporting my 20lb kid.
Must of bought it from IKEA. Call their missing parts dept. They shouldn’t be that busy
from swing to sofa in 2s flat!
He's probably not mad because he put it up... And realized if he complains... He's only himself to blame...
He just accepted defeat
This happened when I was a kid. There were like six little kids on the same swing. When it fell, my sister's leg was under it. Snapped like a twig.
Hey cool low chair
This is why I've never trusted these chairs before, now I have precedent XD
chyna furniture not made for american heft
Hook ‘em
Aggies had it comin fr
CCTV or cameraman?
Grade A install
Those chains look weak.
Yeah no I planned on that happening……. did anyone see…….. the Sheetrock should’ve held the weight for sure………. Ok no one saw that. Dodged that bullet
Why was it so close to the wall? And why was it so high? 😂
He probably installed it by himself
I was sitting in one area my then girlfriend’s parents house and the bar across the seat front broke. Seat was cloth. Me and the pug just sitting on the ground just as we were in the chair.
But are those chains?
Yes
Nah it’s a sofa, a chair is ment for one person, a sofa is meant for more than one🦅
[deleted]
They look like the chains they use in the bank to keep their pens from being stolen
Dang. Call it System of the WAAAAY Down.
Don't jump on it gravity increases velocity and force of pressure impact
Think he installed it himself? 😬
My dawg.
Why am I laughing so hard!? 😂😂😫😂😂😭
He just gave up and said “floor seat now”
I once was pushing my cousin in a swing and it broke in panick, to help her I grabbed her dress, and it got torn in half.
I don't like where this is going
Especially if it was in Alabama.
Cats do that too
Sometimes it pays to be skinny but hey we lose some we gain some 👌
I had a bench swing on my porch. But I have three goats. I had to take it down because those damn goats wouldn't stay off of it. They would even fight over the damn thing.
Is it bad that I would fully pay money to watch that ? 😭
He accepted his fate
Never trusted those things 😭
Bro said “ight bet…”
You have a bench now
Just turn it into a rocker, bud.
Water bottle is a paid actor.
Wholesome content I like to see
This man Dad's. There is nothing in this world that can give a man that patience like being a dad.
“Hey baby I think I like the swing chair on the ground better “ lol
He took it well.
Well damn maybe I shouldn’t have eaten that extra plate. Now I got to fix this before she comes home.
Boomer!!!
Yep
been there. I feel this.
and he's probably like ⅔ my weight so it's probably the first time this happened to him
right? i’m 6’5 and muscular. the amount of shit i’ve broken by sitting on it or walking into it…
This happened to me once. Except the bolt at the bottom went THROUGH my foot.
I think I may still have some trauma from that 😂
From 100% confidence to 100% disbelief
Bro just wanted to sit down and enjoy his day outside.
Looking up to God and just think.
"Well God? Think Satan has has enough fun screwing with the world and our individual lives?"
Bro, same
mount to the studs do with that what you will.
questioning his choices lol
(Regulating Emotions Face)
“I guess I am fat” look
Dude has achieved inner peace! 10/10
Wasn’t this built so the front wouldn’t fall off?
Apparently it wasn't. I mean the front fell off...
It all fell!! lol
I bet he was wearing sandals when he put those small eye bolts in.
well... porch couch?
At least it didn’t crush his hand
I like how he just folded his hands & accepted his fate, like 😧🙄😌
Yeah and the perfectly timed helicopter. Great ending
Yeah man I came here to say that. I'm kinda envious, I'd probably be like 'what the fuck, world?' where this guy is like 'ah good one world, you got me again haha'
I aspire to be more like the man that broke the bench thing
God has a sense of humor lol
Guess the world just wants me down here.
God wanted him to reconsider his life choices for a moment, put him on the ground.
Wife: How you gonna attach those chains to the rafters? Husband: HOOK ‘EM
Ive been there. And I'm even skinnier than this dude. Everyone who sat in my swinging chair had 50 pounds or more on me, but the next time I sit in it I hit the floor. I had the same exact look as this guy haha
That face tells me he put it together 😂
It's ok, buddy. Casey Jones did it, too. You're good.
He was thinking, just wanted to relax and now I gotta fix this crap.
TEMU = GOT EM!
How do you explain this to your new girlfriend that you broke her swing
Hon, I know you’re a DIYer and all. But if you really want to install that sex swing in the bedroom, we need to have a little chat about the porch swing. You absolutely must find a stud and use long enough screws, otherwise even just a little feather like yourself will make it fall. That will be good for no one. I’m just glad it happened to me and not you.
that sucks. I bet it was the beard.
I think it was the tshirt. Go Sooners.
😂💀
With my luck, the wooden frame would have scraped my Achilles down to my heel.
He looks like my ex, our relationship didn't end well.
I like how he’s just chill as fuck.
He JUST finished installing that seat, at it was his first test sit;)
If I sat on that, that shit woulda went through the concrete
Found Superman’s account.
Superfatman
The look on that man's face and his posture tell me he definitely knew that shit probably wouldn't hold when he installed it.
Nice
The people in the helicopter probably heard that and were like “someone dropped a bomb? It aint me!”
Sounded like a semi truck.
I guarantee that man's first thought right after "Ow" was "So thats how today is gonna end eh?"
This is exactly the type of thing that happens when you’re already having a bad day, lol.
Coworker calls you „fat“. Hanging bench at home confirms it.
BTW THAT Chain is kinda flimsy for that job too. It has lots of problems but starting with a solid mount is in the instructions and it wasn’t anchored correctly with that thin of a chain . All the Good ones Ive sat in can hold 3 people = THICK ASS CHAIN INTO big STUDS WITH big ass bolts - and huge Nuts Lol 😂
HUGE NUTS????
DEEZ NUTS
Dude gave up on life at that moment.
dude must've skipped Physics 101. RIP to his confidence 😂
whoever installed the bench skipped structures 101. Probably bolted in with drywall screws instead of anchoring it to a beam with properly sized wood anchors.
He looks so done with everything
this happened to me and my grandpa one time when i was little. hurt my ass lol porch swing was done after that
It shouldn’t have snapped. I nailed it into the vinyl soffit.
You ever feel like you need to just hit the gym?
Muscle is heavier than fat 💯💯
What's heavier - a kilogram of far or kilogram of muscle?
How much far are we talking here?
A kilogram of steel.
Balls of Steel.
You can do cardio at the gym and lose weight.
Way better to run outside
True, but the original point was to reference losing weight with something we all know very well is associated with losing weight.
Dude got downvote for being honest 🙏
No, he got down voted for being an idiot and not seeing that he was reinforcing the other guy's point inadvertently. It was a "DUH!" situation.
Well muscle is Denser than fat
Yuup
The way he just accepted it lmao
The chains stayed attached to the chair - they were attached to the roof incorrectly
Incorrectly.
fucks sake i cant spell 😭
Goofy ass comment
😂
That extra turkey and stuffing!
A day after Thanksgiving.. GG
Dude is lucky his calves weren't in the way. If they were, the swing would have carved the shit out of them on its way down.
Or that his hand didn't end up under the chair either
Oof. That would be brutal.
Lol, this is why I hate metal chairs.
I’m heavy and anything that can’t support at least 300lbs isn’t gonna hold me.
When I sit in metal chairs I can feel the legs straining and straightening.
You hate metal chairs because you need a stronger material? Like what, obsidian?
If a metal chair is struggling to hold you, it's not the material's fault. Maybe the design, but not the material.
Only diamond chairs for this man
Or those thin plastic outdoor chairs lol, oh man have I broken my fair share of those shitty plastic chairs.
Imagine if you had your feet underneath you and you landed on them.You could really do some damage
Porch swing temporarily porch seat. Sorry for the convenience. - Mitch Hedberg
Do these ever stay up?
If anchored properly they can hold two adults easily
Bro handled it like it was one of those days
You know? This video popped up for me when it was posted, and again now. I didn’t notice his right arm coming sideways as a reaction to the (initially) sideways fall. It’s amazing how quick the body reacts.
Looks like someone's got a case of the Mondays!
I believe you'd get your ass kicked saying something like that, man.
Corporate accounting... Just a moment... Corporate accounting... Just a moment...
Could have been way worse, dude got lucky
Yes and no. From the looks of it, the wrong attachment was used. Bolted with the right washer, it probably wouldn't have failed.
You’re assuming whoever hung it up bolted it into something that could bear load. There’s too many DIY’ers that don’t DIY it right..
That's my entire point. It couldn't have been done right for the failure to be so basic. That was not a catastrophic failure at all. It is clear that the force necessary to cause the failure was minimal.
Seriously. That's why you should always use drywall anchors for something like this. You will want that extra support!!
Lol
Lol @ drywall support.
Have you ever heard of that ? I know it’s in my home 🏡 but not in regular houses . The way I know is it keeps making a nice pile of dust that’s white , when using a titanium bit , but really feels like concrete- we don’t know what it is . There’s 4 inches of it
Yup. Imagine if his feet were tucked underneath the bench.
Right? or his fingers/hand
THE SHIT THAT HAPPENS ON YOUR WORST DAYS
He handled it with grace and composure. I would have dragged it to the center of the yard and burned it.
Stay calm is the best way to handle bad things or bad days,,,,,,,
Just go with it
[removed]
Oof.. that's mental illness if I've ever seen it
Please get help
Frank, we talked about this. You’re projecting on Reddit again, it’s not good for your mental wellbeing.
Kind sir, I think you need to get your eyes checked
People seriously underestimate their own weight and what it takes to support it.
Seriously, there's ratings on chains and bolts and stuff. Plus you should include a safety margin. Like when I bolted my kids swing to my deck with four bolts rates to 800lbs total, and my father in law is like, "oh my God, are those bolts going to hold!?" Yeah, I think we're good for supporting my 20lb kid.
Looks still comfi xD
It keeps getting funnier every time I see this pop up 🤣
