Man risk your own life all you want, but if he fell that would take SO many people out. What a knob.


alison_bee

All I could think of is “what if he had a seizure and fell?” I had my first seizure at 32. Never in a million years would have ever guessed I would have one, but I was lucky and had mine at work, an urgent care. Imagine having one up there!


CucktainKerk

You could ask the same question while driving, flying, boating, etc. Not exactly a good argument that it "could happen to anyone" being that anything could happen to anyone so is everyone just supposed to avoid driving because of some 1/1000000 chance that they could have a seizure? No probably not. However yes, if this dude fell he would be killing himself and several others so he should probably not be up there.


alison_bee

I get what you’re saying, but once you have a seizure it’s something you think about pretty often ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ And it’s not *that* rare to have a seizure. 1 in 25 people have a seizure in their lifetime.


CucktainKerk

I totally understand that's it something to think about and not just dismissed. However a person could also have a heart attack, stroke, faint or any other ailment that would result in a loss of control or consciousness that would raise that from a 1 in 25 to a much greater probability of something going wrong. So just because something could go wrong, you can't go living your whole life in fear of it. That's truly what is going to make you die young, the stress and the fear of living your life because of what COULD happen. A lot can happen, but a lot of what can happen also doesn't.


Nocturnalist

Sir, this is Reddit. It is your sworn duty to constantly shift attention to every possible minuscule exception to every rule, and to live your life as if you will absolutely experience every single one of them in their entirety.


tridentgum

> And it’s not that rare to have a seizure. 1 in 25 people have a seizure in their lifetime. It's very rare to randomly have a seizure out of nowhere.


alison_bee

No, it isn’t. That’s what I’m saying. It’s much more common than people think - 1 in 25 people will have at least one seizure in their lifetime.


MyHeadMyWorld2

I had a stress induced seizure when I was a kid. In fact I am certain I caused my own seizure. After that incident I had full belief it was my stress level and that I was stuck looking into the void of curtains that couldn't be seen through. I never had one since, but it happens, so take care of your mental health for sure.

Tuneman83

4 in 100 isn't rare buddy, I think that's considered fairly common, but I agree with her person saying you can't live your life led by fear on the balance of risk. Personally, I would tether myself to something (at least when I'm up there) but that's me


FuzzyFerretFace

I feel like the line is drawn somewhere around ‘i need to do this activity/typically otherwise safe hobby, in simply living my day to day life’, vs ‘hey, lemme climb up here over these people just to see if I can…weehee! So high!’. People have out-of-the-blue medical emergencies often enough while driving, and regardless of the outcome or damage, others are sympathetic to everyone involved; it’s just a shitty situation all around. Should this guy slip or suffer a medical emergency and fall, it’s hard not to blame him because he (presumably) put himself up there for no reason at all, other than ‘look what I can do!!’.


CucktainKerk

Completely agree. If anything were to happen to this guy I don't think anyone would feel bad except for the people of which he landed on top of and killed in the process of this selfish attention seeking action. I was just saying that there's much more that can go wrong than just a seizure so for that to be the only concern is an understatement to how truly selfish an act this was.


FuzzyFerretFace

Oh I wasn't trying to argue with you--and reading what I wrote back, it *does* sound argumentative--just expand on your points. So, apologies. I also forgot to add that your username gave me a good chuckle. No more Reddit (or at least writing comments) for me so close to bed!


CucktainKerk

No worries, I honestly couldn't tell if you were being argumentative. I just wanted to clarify what exactly my point was because I don't think I was quite clear enough in what I was trying to explain. Also glad you got a laugh, that's what the name is for 😁


smellvin_moiville

Blah blah blah blah also you’re right- you just now


CucktainKerk

Someone can be both correct and unrealistic at the same time. I could be struck by a meteor at any moment but that's unrealistic so it probably won't happen but I'm still correct in saying "anything can happen at any time". Also I was saying he COULD fall, not necessarily agreeing with the other person that he would have a seizure. He could fall for countless other reasons other than a seizure. If all you were able to read was "blah blah blah" then that seems to be more of a reading comprehension issue and you should perhaps get checked for dyslexia.


smellvin_moiville

I have dyslexia. Thanks bud fun joke.


CucktainKerk

You walked right into that one then. It's a hilarious joke now. Thanks for that. You're not special or exempt from ridicule because of your disability.


smellvin_moiville

I guess. You’re kind of a piece of shit tho. See you in hell

instrangerswetrust

fine, but you’re keeping aluminium


VirtualNaut

Let’s not forget colour either. I’m getting sick and tyred of seeing that spelling.


MajesticNectarine204

My first thought exactly. If you want to be a thrillseeker and risk your own life, I'm absolutely fine with that. But like you said, if this muppet had slipped and fallen down, he would have taken at least one or two people with him, and traumatized several hundred for life at minimum. Absolute muppet.


gwicksted

Idk how many you could take out.. maybe 3-5 max? But my bet is 1-2 on average. Someone needs to run the physics simulation on this one.


TheSorceIsFrong

It’s just the catwalk, tbh. Idk how often you go to shows, but there almost always multiple people a story or two above you. That said, stepping on just the beams is some fuck shit


tikjzh

Yea this ain’t just a story tho…


TheSorceIsFrong

It’s the catwalk dude. It’s as high as it needs to be for the venue. Bigger the venue, higher it is generally.


Jim-Bot-V1

If he fell everyone would blame security, call it a tragedy, and no blame to the idiot because of course personal accountability isn't a thing.


Amoreena23

On the other hand, he would probably get the Guinness World Record for highest stage dive.


Electrical_Funny2028

People say this every time something like this gets posted. Has anything like that ever actually happened?


urielteranas

Riggers and other people just doing their jobs fall from catwalks and die frequently enough that you have good reason to be concerned about some tik tard climbing the actual beams


Electrical_Funny2028

No, I don't mean people falling off and dying. I mean people falling on other people and killing them.


urielteranas

Well usually riggers aren't walking around above you during a concert when there's people below them as much as possible for a reason. Minimizes risk. This is just some youtuber who climbed in from the roof and started filming. Maximum risk. And yeah that's probably happened before just by nature of how often falling deaths happen. I don't know about middle of a concert, seems something that would be newsworthy would have to look it up.


Electrical_Funny2028

It really doesn't have to be in the middle of a concert. Just any situation where Redditors would be saying stuff like "what an idiot, he could fall and kill someone" and the person actually did fall and killed someone.


urielteranas

What are you even talking about man there's a bunch of safety regulations around this type of thing for a reason riggers need to keep their phones and things tethered to them or not on them when up there for a reason. All these rules i'm mentioning are there for a reason. Here's some data on workplace deaths from objects falling: Roughly 250 workers die yearly from falling objects, and hundreds more experience grievous injuries. Half of these accidents are the result of human error. https://www.arnolditkin.com/blog/work-accidents/look-out-falling-and-flying-objects-at-work/#:~:text=A%20significant%20number%20of%20injuries,the%20result%20of%20human%20error. Here's some data on deaths by falls from heights: *Falls are the leading cause of death in construction.* In 2020, there were 351 fatal falls to a lower level out of 1,008 construction fatalities (BLS data). https://www.osha.gov/stop-falls Now this is people who are doing their jobs, assumedly trained to do it, and still dying anyways to these actual dangers. Now let's think about the risk some random douche crawling in through the roof running around on the beams unharnessed, unsupported, holding his phone and whatever else while 500 ft above a crowd of people creates. I shouldn't have to go find you an example of someone doing this exact thing and dying or someone getting brained by a phone for you to put these things together and see how shitty this is mate.


Electrical_Funny2028

I already specified it doesn't have to be this exact thing. Just similar and a person killing another person by falling on them (EDIT: **NOT** at work). Is that so hard to find?


urielteranas

Here's a person almost dying from a dropped cellphone does that do it for you or will it only be good enough when I find an example of someone doing this exact thing, falling, and crushing some people for you to acknowledge it as dangerous? Are you gonna continue to be willfully ignorant and act like you don't understand the concept of risk? If these are workplace statistics why are they irrelevant wouldn't an untrained unharnessed person being somewhere they aren't supposed to, above an active crowd, be even more risky then just normal workplace day to day? https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/it-could-have-killed-her-woman-hit-by-falling-cell-phone-at-state-fair-hospitalized/ Questions, questions but I'm gonna leave it here because I believe you're trolling or being intentionally obtuse at this point and I don't actually need the answers. Do your own research if you have further questions. Have a good day.


Electrical_Funny2028

I feel like it's you who's trolling or playing dumb. I clearly and repeatedly specify what I am after and you blatantly ignore it every time and give me stuff you know I have no interest in. Look, I acknowledge what the person in the video did as dangerous. Will you be able to find the example I am looking for now? EDIT: I take the downvote and block as a no.


sumastorm

Glad to see someone else refer to an absolute idiot as a knob, aussie maybe?


SickRanchezIII

So many? I mean it would take out probably a maximum of 4, i get that one is too many for this, but i would not describe it as so many


StrongOfOdin

Id say that one dumbfuck falling and killing any amount of people is too many.

I work in construction. We literally had one of these guys die last night on a job site trying to film a video. Jumped over multiple barriers and got around a razor wire fence to climb a crane.

meltyourtv

Lock up the house rigger in every arena then. As they typically say “if I have to wear a harness I already know I’m doing something wrong”


daevski

The riggers wear harnesses, that’s the difference. They understand the danger and are doing a job with safety as a priority. This yahoo is… just crazy.


meltyourtv

That’s fair but I’ve never met a rigger that wears a harness lmao


happybdaydickhead

Dumb and inaccurate comment


meltyourtv

Could be the region I work arenas in but the house riggers I’ve met around mine are all psychopaths who don’t wear harnesses. Idk why I’m getting downvoted for simply saying my life experience


Charming_Psyduck

Ugh, I just want to enjoy concerts -- not worry about reckless, self-important dickheads falling from the ceiling.


SnowcaineBunny

everything is about me wahh i hate fun


Skylab232

It's nothing to do with fun. There are strict rules in venues like these, so that people aren't wandering around the rigging when there's an audience below. This dickhead needs to be arrested.


paxweasley

Wild to claim it’s self centered to not want to be crushed to death by someone falling from rafters they shouldn’t have been in

socialcommentary2000

Wpgjetsfan19

How does he even get up here? No security? Do they not lock doors?


Recent_Possession587

He’s on the beams and the gantry. I used to work up there. It wasn’t accessible to the public. You had to go through several locked doors and security to get there. He either is a rigger and was actually authorised to work up there, riggers post videos like this all the time. Or he’s blagged his way past several security checks (maybe by making a fake pass) but then also managed to get through a magnetically sealed door? Some thing doesn’t add up, am pretty sure all arenas are built this way, other wise drunk idiots would do it all the time


New_Work8825

I am pretty sure its youtuber dyingllama and he basically climbed side of the building and entered through the hatch on the roof


Recent_Possession587

Oh yeah that might work. No ones expecting you to climb the building. No access via the seating tho.

I see nothing that suggests he wasn't working, and maybe even clipped-in? What's the context? Seems like rage-bait.


daevski

Even if this is an employee, they should not have their phone out. If that fell, it would cause some serious damage. Anyone who is working and does this should their harness and show that their phone is tethered so it’s not misleading and doesn’t provide a bad example for others to fallow…


AnyaTaylorAnalToy

That's fair. I think he might be wearing a camera on a helmet but who knows.

I could see that. That would be much safer.

It's just the fact he is putting so many others at risk by being up there unsecured. It's fine to risk your own life doing this kind of stuff, it's NOT okay to put others at risk with this kind of act

Oh is it NOT OK? Typical redditor. Did he fall? No, he did not.


KHAD1M

Do you even know what "risk" means?

Aeren10

That's not even close to a decent comparison.


urielteranas

Putting other people's lives at risk for your "fun" is where most people draw the line, and makes you a shithead asshole. Would you have responded this way if he fell and killed himself and some poor people just trying to live life and enjoy the concert? What if he drops his phone and it kills or disables someone? It's only because these very real possibilities didn't happen that it's totally okay?
