He's incredibly lucky he didn't snap his ankle!

We had a kid at work (Pool co, vac kid) step in a skimmer last summer. Like 20 stitches up his shin. Was out for a couple weeks.

He's all good. It was deeper than normal on a raised wall. He's a bull in a china shop.

u/DueExample52 5d ago
I thought you meant they had to do surgery and he had only 20 stitches and only 2 weeks out.
A gash is not the worst thing that can happen if your foot is stuck into a hole. The worst is your bone snapping while you are falling and your foot/shin is still partly on the hole. Or snap a knee.

If the skimmer is the only source on the vacuum side of the pump, also degloving.

I knew he was going to fall in but not like that 😭

u/Chemical-Display-499 6d ago
He tried so hard and got so far

It's wild how sometimes it feels like all that effort just disappears in an instant, but at least he gave it his all.

I expected someone to fall in. Then the guy in the white top made it across and I was like "oh I was mistaken, they all made it! How unexpected!"...
And then they fell in anyway when I wasn't expecting it. Fine, take my upvote

u/thatsalovelyusername 6d ago
I thought black chunky boy getting wet was the unexpected part but then it kept on giving

u/Kellyann59 6d ago
That guy’s whooping laugh in the end was my favorite part
•
u/berlinparisexpress 6d ago
I like how universally human this all is. Any person of any culture and language could be in that crowd and would be invested in the game with everyone else, and end up tearing with laughter with everyone else.
•
u/thehelldoesthatmean 6d ago
I was going to say, howling with laughter at your friend doing something goofy and falling down is so human. You don't have to speak the same language as anyone else to get the rules of the "game" and then laugh at this dude hilariously falling in after he seemed safe. Love it.

u/Late_Art9758 6d ago
To be frank I probably wouldn't see that hole in the ground either.

Well it shouldn’t be there - it’s a terrible hazardous situation. Those come with covers that will support a person.

He actually folded like an omlete. Like how I imagine it when people say that.

u/QuirkyImage 6d ago
Don’t stand on filters
•
u/Automatic_Actuator_0 6d ago
Wise to avoid them, but they are supposed to be able to support a person’s weight. This is an open and shut premises liability case if he isn’t the owner and was injured.

Dude tripped on Tuesday and fell into the pool on Wednesday

u/Chickenmangoboom 6d ago
At the end of one semester in college I had been pushing myself to finish all my projects and prepare for my exams and had gotten horrible sleep for a week. I slip in the shower and luckily end up sitting on the edge of the tub. I then very slowly start slipping backwards and my sleep deprived brain could do absolutely nothing to stop it from happening. I just laid on the ground for a minute thinking about how I should manage my time better.

Are they sneaking into Hyrule Castle? That layout looks awfully familiar

u/stool2stash 6d ago
Why is there always that one person in the background with an annoying high pitched laugh?
•
•
u/cuteintern 6d ago
I'm so old all I can think is how it's a miracle he didn't wreck his leg or ankle.

I love seeing adults play in a child-like way. It is so pure and fun. We need to do more of these activities.

u/Coresink 5d ago
What is this place? Looks like a bunch of people partying in a computer game level.

u/flipper_babies 5d ago
I love this. Just a bunch of people with good senses of humor doing something silly.

love watching videos like this with friend groups just genuinely having fun, although I hope the guy did not break anything I am so relieved that there are people who are on standby, glad everyone is safe.

I thought someone was going to go through the door. I would think since there is one on each side, they may be able to just waltz through.
But there is no fun in that.

Looks like a nice pool built to third world standards. That guy is lucky he didn't break his leg.

He was lucky he didn’t crack his dome on the lip of the pool. That could have been a hospital job…
