Ye, it's not clever and it's not funny. And the fact he was going to write it word for word proves just how many mindless lemmings there are on here

I wonder what was going through his head when he did that.

It did seem to work out though. Just enough, hang time to be on top of the bricks instead of under?

After tipping a jack stand on my foot in the garage with no shoes on, I don't know how the hell these people do this.

Real safety shoes would probably cost at least what they get paid in two months... Sad but true.

u/beepbeepboopbeep1977 8d ago

He does have one significant problem though. He has an outlier completion time that’s going to completely fuck his MoM and YoY KPIs forever - his average completion time is going to do nothing but trend DOWN from this point on. Dude might get a one off completion bonus this week, but his long term incentive chances are totally COOKED.

That's why he jumped on the bricks. Pro safety tip for demolishers here! - Also, don't stand on the thing you're demolishing.

u/AbleCryptographer317 8d ago

He tried to jump onto the adjacent roof where the cameraman was standing, but the wall he jumped from was collapsing in the opposite direction so he couldn't get sufficient forward traction. If he'd jumped in any other direction he would've risked being crushed to death under collapsing walls. He made the right decision.

16

u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox 8d ago

i thought the roof would hit the wall he was standing on and knock it over, he might've thought the same thing and didn't want ot be crushed under it

2

u/truthfullyidgaf 8d ago

Yea. Those bricks were on the inside wall. He tried to look cool imo. Hence the video.

2

u/TheThiefMaster 8d ago

It does in fact get knocked over. I think he jumps when it shifts just off camera

It's probably not metro, but a suburban surface train station, it sounds correctly distorted, and the sounds that are used are similar. People are also speaking Russian. I have no idea why.

The fact that so many countries don't wear actual shoes let alone steel toe boots. Don't even ask about a hard hat🤦🏾‍♂️

u/Extension_Guess_1308 8d ago

When you realise that there are parts of world with real poverty. This looks like rural India possibly where wages can be so low that you probably have to choose between eating and buying a pair of safety shoes. Just that alone would probably be a months wages for them. People are exploited real bad.

3

u/bravemoney72 8d ago

Working labor my whole adult life and having been to several areas of Brazil I know this and continually marvel at how little life is considered. However it wasn't that long ago here and now depending on where you work. Exploitation is NOT an impoverished countries exclusive territory believe me. There are tons of under the table disgraces going on right here in the US to everyday American citizens.
