Re: They Fall from the Fourth Floor

As far as I understand railings are NEVER intended to be lean on
yes, but we cannot blame the idiots that were pushing against it, causing it to collapse . . . that would be victim blaming

Re: They Fall from the Fourth Floor

Guy in grey lived by falling on top of the guy that pulled him down but the guy HE pulled down got a face full of concrete. He's gonna have some survivors/accidental murderers guilt.

Damn I feel sorry for blue jacket guy. He got buddy fucked by the guy who grabbed his backpack on the way down. Crazy how it was a ball of people all tied together basically all pulling eachother down..

This kind of incident happened to me and a friend of mine long time ago.

Once a prank in my workplace, in a office party event a guy having his birthday chased by my other co-worker and ran through the railings.

Luckily he only fell one floor below. It's also dirt below. He's fine just moaning there, nothing broken or any fatal injuries. Just some scratches and bruises. I was downstairs watching everything and rushing in to check if he's okay.

Soon after the building management call my co-workers who chased him. I was there listening through everything as well. The point is they don't want to be blamed for the incident like the railing is weak and stuff. They're all agreed on it.

The other incident is fatal. My friend's brother fall into couple of floors below in a hotel when he's on vacation. The case went into court months. She updated this case regularly on her social media, so I know it's hell. Of course as a friend I support her emotionally, at least.

But while she's posting these, all she do is looking for anything to blame on the hotel. Weak, rusted, aged and unmaintained railings is on her top list.

Point is, the building management will have shitty weeks after this incident. The victims will try everything their best to blame them.

And this is why we have to build everything "to code" in America..
No you dont. Just ask Dave Rubin. Open and free industries are self correcting.

Re: They Fall from the Fourth Floor

That was intense! Surprised that anyone could survive that fall!
I believe those who survived fell on top of the ones who died.

Re: They Fall from the Fourth Floor

I wonder why I was really hoping the girl in the baby blue wouldn’t fall. Didn’t care about the rest of them just her... my brain is so weird

Re: They Fall from the Fourth Floor

Yeah he did, but it's hard to blame him. At that point in time, you wouldn't even be acting on conscious thought. These are motions of pure survival instinct, grabbing for anything to hold onto.

I think about the two times I've slipped and fell on the floor... once while getting out of the shower and another when slipping on a melted ice cube in my kitchen... while falling, you can't even really sense what's going on. Your body is out of control and you lose all sense of time and space. It's a weird feeling. And I would imagine these kids had that same sensation when the rail first gave way. You are just on autopilot.
Exactly!
His response was originated in the cerebellum, at that moment you don't have time to think of a reaction in the conscious level, the cerebellum takes INSTANTANEOUS instinctive pre-programmed actions to correct body equilibrium and posture, I bet he didn't have time to think what to do.
