      The same alcohol that gave him the courage, gave him the fall.

      He jumped too late, and so his toes caught, while still rising. It then spun him into the ground. Moving ropes can screw up your instincts to jump them, unless you pay proper attention (and over jump).

      Notice that he didn’t make any effort to catch himself. This isn’t a person that normally does things like this or the crash wouldn’t have been a solid faceplant.

      Most people can’t jump for shit.

      He did the motions of a jump but with the 6" of height he got he might as well have just run straight into it.

      The rope looks like it is oscillating up/down. If you position your jump on the “down” oscillation, you’re gonna have a bad time.

    Klaipėda, Lithuania. Great city to come for a day of tourism, close to Nida, best place to stay a week on a hot summer.

    I was expecting it to be a boat that was impatient and rammed the bridge

    I did very similar as a pre teen at a weekend school thing where I was running and tried to jump over a bench that was attached to a pole, I’d don’t it several times, I miscalculated and slammed my shen into the front of it and ate shit.

    It was right in front of an older guy I respected too, I felt so embarrassed and my knee hurt for fucking days.

    Don’t remember how bad my knee was exactly, but remember the shame

    This bridge deck clearly needs more traction, why is the old guy operating a switch slipping around also?

            I’m wondering if there isn’t a slight pitch or a grade that isnt obvious from this angle

              No it’s simply that the man tried to slow that bridge down with the lever. The bridge being much heavier than him pushed and pulled him along, he tried to brace himself into the boards but to no avail.

              It’s like travelling along an asphalt road at quite some speed, when you slam the brakes you’ll keep sliding along until you stop. The road doesn’t need to be slippy for that to occur.

          Why and how are the same thing. The answer is still physics.

          Do you get confused by reflections or something?
