It was connected at the beginning, it somehow came disconnected during the end of his run across. If it was disconnected from the beginning it wouldn’t have followed him across. Still disheartening that it disconnected that easily.
I mean, I think what you wrote could be accurately described as “insufficiently connected.” If it just pops off for seemingly no reason at the end it’s not going to prevent him from falling to his death.
That means it wasn't connected securely or properly. At minimum, it should have a spring to keep the clasp closed. Either the clasp wasn't fully on or the spring was broken.
To be fair one caribiner (and a locking one at that) is pretty fucking solid.
But
Im certain i've seen this same bridge, a guy quickly run across it, gets to the other side to find the rope isnt actually connected to him...
I have seen a broken one, give it enough time, heavier dude and top Chinese quality and you will see.
The one i saw broken was used for training purposes and was like 1 year old, but it is very possible.
Not impossible but usually because the caribiner isnt gated properly.
Some caribiners used in situations like this are spring twist, to stop human error.
You twist and pull down to unlock, and when you release the gate snaps shut and the mechanism auto locks in place.
A typical locking binner is rated 22kn minimum. Which is close to 5000lbf. What kind of terrible carabiner was it, or, alternatively, what kind of immense blobby dude was it lifting?
In those kind of setups, the carabiner will often be self locking and have a secondary gate or system to keep it oriented properly and avoid cross loading. (Ie: CT K-Advance Shell)
I mean the CT K-Advance Shell would need 6744 lbf to break.
Back in the day (30 years ago?), the pursuit of ultra light gear lead to the creation of hollow aluminum carabinners which were prone to loose their structural integrity if dropped, but those no longer exist. A normal locking carabiner made for this type of application will last years of abuse without issues. What ever lanyard or cord you attatch to it will need to be changed several times before the carabiner is anywhere near its end of life.
Yeah that one was out of place as fuck. Like there wasn’t even a harness component to that bridge the fuck is it for?! Do they have mountain goats or summin?

This guy getting his hand peeled back 🤣
Since I had to Duck-duck-go this I thought I would share what I found...

What was the point of the "stairs to nowhere" one where the guy falls on his ass. It didn't look like a bungee cord, just a fall arrest , but it was connecting under the stairs.
EDIT: ok so it is stupidly, exactly for the only thing I could picture happening
https://www.reddit.com/r/funnyvideos/s/lvaJnx1Xs9
Imagine if that happened to you and you did fall. The half second where you think you're gonna die, then the other half second where you remember you have a cable keeping you safe.... then the next second where you realize you're still falling.
After seeing that one vid where the cable wasn’t even connected I’ll never try this
[This one](https://www.reddit.com/r/yesyesyesyesno/s/7Caupa242U)
Holy shit
I would have run back without the cable just to smack his ass
Kinky

My clumsy butt would make me slip and die the moment I touched the end platform
I'm imagining a Looney Toons moment where you don't fall until you notice the harness isn't attached
And you look straight into the invisible camera and wave as you fall down
 Roadrunner ftw
It’s worth noting that the person lives (doesn’t fall in the first place), for those on the edge of clicking the link
He's so lighthearted about it after realizing it
Auto-masking the turbo-panic.
Laughter is my coping mechanism sometimes as well
He probably realized he would likely shit himself so hard he'd rocket boost his way back up onto safety
Omg
I would die of 3 simultaneous heart attacks on the spot!
Fuck me sideways
upside down is better
Dude almost died and just laughs about it lol
WTF
Fuck that
And the fact that the dude just laughs it off like "ah shucks, would you look at that lol"

Jesus, they should have a low spot at the starting point so that you can dangle for a second as a test to make sure you’re really hooked up.
That’s all I could think of watching this !
Did you see the other where someone fell to their death? Sorry I was misinformed the kid just broke some bones and had wicked cuts from the fall.
Yooooooo... Saaame !! First thing in my mind was nope nope nope !!!
It was connected to the bottom of the platform. He wasn't committing suicide...
They're talking about a different video
People find such inventive ways to smash their faces and testicles
Next on *Ow My Balls!*
I like money.
GO AWAY! BATIN’!
Hey, you’re that guy from that show (punt).
That one the guy busts his nuts on looks like it is dying to break some ankles (and nuts).
It's not like catching yourself with your chin is painful or anything
MOST. EXTREME. ELIMINATION. CHALLEEENGE.
Guy LaDouche! DON’T! GET! ELIMINATED!
Were there any teeth left??
ONE. ONE carabiner.
To be fair one caribiner (and a locking one at that) is pretty fucking solid. But Im certain i've seen this same bridge, a guy quickly run across it, gets to the other side to find the rope isnt actually connected to him...
And he just laughs it off!
To be fair, the laughing it off was likely adrenaline and not fully comprehending the risk right away.
What else is he gonna do? Lol
Go back over the bridge to punch that guy lol

I've had the auto mechanism fail on that as a belayer and I'm pretty grateful nothing happened. Manual locking is good too.

And looks like there are two in most of these cases
Owen Hart could not be reached for comment
Often biners are stacked opposite and opposed. Likely there is two we just can’t see them clearly.
you really think they are doing opposite and opposed? lol you'd be lucky if they are using lockers
In the clips where I could see the rigging, 3 had pairs and 3 had a single carabiner.
In China that's considered a bit overkill. Normally it's just a loosely tied rope.
Congratulations you have received: -15 social credit Thank you! 😊
Your faith in those safety measures is misguided.
that one the dude slipped between the bars inbetween his legs... ouch
Yeah that one was out of place as fuck. Like there wasn’t even a harness component to that bridge the fuck is it for?! Do they have mountain goats or summin?
Seemed like a good way to snap something if you step wrong
recipe for scrambled eggs
big ouch
Chinese government: " We need to fix the population, but don't make it obvious"
I gotchu, fam
They want the population to go up now. They see the writing on the Wall and realize the horrific generational gap they'll be facing in 30 years.
What some people do in the name of thrills and fun will never cease to amaze me.
At least the guy held on to his beer
Drunk people don't have any balance but they never spill the beer
These all look so Intentional
Brcause they are

Can we talk about how that one guy after falling with his beer went to fucking drink it while hanging? Fucking chad
Are they all drunk? They look drunk.
La estupidez humana no tiene fronteras
Does anybody remember that crash bandicoot level?? looks exactly like it !
Gotta admire the hopping zombie's dedication to the character
Man those steps don't look soft at all, they look like you're getting fucked up when you fall
Hello, I'm Mr. Nope and I'm the Mayor of Nopetown. I'd like to give this a big NOPE... # NOPE!
Any one else get that wierd fealing in there feet when watching that stuff
All this chinese goofin around.. turns out each fall is a near miss for cracking the skull open on the bridge. 🤷♂️
Lmao I just saw the girl whose shoes flew off that extremely short bungee jump, and ill be damned if that isn't the one half way in this vid.
I will never have enough trust on the harness to do something like to is for fun, let alone one made in China.
FUCK. THAT. SHIT.
It looks like the chances of breaking your face or teeth on the way down are pretty damn good even if the fall protection holds.

This is the most Road to Nowhere Crash Bandicoot shit I've ever seen.
This made my palms sweat and my feet tingle
Dang these quests Zeniba has No Face going on these days are crazy
OK, the person in the Cape is just drunk man
Need a helmet and mouthpiece minimum
New season of squid games looks awesome!!
Dude that ate shit and proceeded to take a swig of his beer or whatever is a legend 🗿
BRING BACK MXC!!!!!!!!
You CAN, go fuck yourselves. China’s a place I would want that harness crossing ANY bridge, let alone one with holes!
Nah, fuck that.

Beeer Man gets me
Anyone know the name of the song? My Shazam didn’t pick it up right
I don't get it
This is so crazy 🤪
Da fuc?
Even with a harness you can still be injured badly on this whatever it's called.
this video made my b hole go “weewoh”
Made in China bridge and harness No thank you
These give me shaky knees
Damn, they are going for it and don’t even flinch when they eat shit. Impressive.
Half those dudes lost their testicles
My clumsy butt would make me slip and die the moment I touched the end platform
Suicide training? Or why it looks like they training to remove the fair or jumping/letting go
Nope never. I would have ongoing dreams of falling
Looks like fun !
There are piles of bones below that are never shown in the camera.
So you're saying the fall isn't as far?
Try do it with out the security robe much more fun
My arsehole is puckering just watching this...
What is the deal with China and heights?
Made me dizzy 😵💫
I dont understand.Just why
Glad to see that social media is the clearing house for human stupidity in China as well. Good to know we aren't alone.
No ., just no. Not now, not ever.
The real Kaonashi would have totally nailed it.
This looks pretty fun
Sweatiest video here yet
he looks like an abyss mage
Crazy
Nope.
For some reason the one that made me squirm the most was the one with the thin bars and the legs getting trapped
Just seems like busted ribs and uppercuts
Why?
my anxiety goes brrrrrrr
The valley down there is littered with teeth
Balls...inside my chest cavity 😧😧
So it's a combo bridge and Bungie jump.
I think this is how the US should do parole
I literally cannot watch this.
Nope
Looks like a great way to bite your tongue off.
lol this comment is cracking me up
Welcome to Takeshi’s Chasm!
Nope. Don't care if I'm tethered, not doing it.
What am i missing here
Are these ppl.. slow? Legit wondering
Absolute no from me, you build a proper bridge if you want me to cross.
This is why every costume I make, it's geared for maximum visibility in the visor/helmet.
What a fun way to get brain damage.
imagine trusting your life to chinese safety standards
nope!
[удалено]
This video making my stomach roll.
FUCK.THAT
I have reached the point in my life where I am now afraid of heights in videos? Why did my heart sync so hard when I saw the first person drop?
This is like me trying to cross a bridge during an anxiety dream
Imagine using Oculus Rift while doing this…
Grab a fat pedophile, we’re testing the weight limit
I feel so bad for that guy who almost lost his helmet I'd be mad
💩🧱
Song slaps and I want it. What is it?
Why
Was that guy just drunk as fuck drinking a beer doing that, lol
The people are overly dramatic. Why?
Beer guy had his priorities straight
Jeez wear a helmet
Just make a better bridge. Fill in those gaps! What the actual fuck
Our man at 16 seconds ain't got no harness.
Naww that's insane
Imagine if that happened to you and you did fall. The half second where you think you're gonna die, then the other half second where you remember you have a cable keeping you safe.... then the next second where you realize you're still falling.
Mr technique there with the white hair and black robes.
The fourth one made me laugh. Fell over then took a swig of his beer
Sometimes the things i have to cross / climb in my dreams are built like that or worse ...
Hey can we find new ways to torture dissenters without it being obvious??
u/savevideo
My heart jumped at the fourth try
Some of these people look like they're deliberately doing obviously stupid shit to inflict pain upon themselves.
Crash bandicoot in real life
I'll do it like 10 feet in the air, no higher. And over a pool
3rd guy tried human fall flat tactics
Stupid people crossing a semi-existing bridge
Crash bandicoot bridge level
My palms are dry
Thanks I hate it
Props to the dude who immediately went in for a sip of his drink
you will never catch me on this shit
