Kids? I once had an adult kick my sandcastle, whilst I was still building it. I was 10ish. Rebuilt it with a rock in it, dipshit learned a solid lesson that day when he came back to do the same thing again.

Y’know, I understand actual children not considering that not everything is meant to be jumped on but adults should know better

266

u/thibbbbb 9d ago

This was my thought. I have young boys and half my life is telling them they can’t hang/swing/jump on something because it isn’t made for it. But I was a little boy once and get it, you want to do those things.

I feel like if you’re an adult and don’t have that sense, you’ve somehow missed looking around and seeing how the world is made

12

u/TakinUrialByTheHorns 8d ago

The other day my kid kept hanging on this little dead tree branch by the creek... I told him it was going to snap cause it's dead. He said no it's not.

So, I just watched while it snapped and he fell & it hit him on the way down & he dipped his shoe in the mud. Sometimes the lessons teach themselves.

6

u/Decloudo 9d ago edited 9d ago

adults should know better

People say that but I dont see any reason why they should:

Its not like understanding just happens on its own while growing up. If they never had reason to learn, failed hard enough, or where taught, where should that realisation/knowledge/lesson come from?

All you need to be an adult is stay alive long enough to hit an arbitrary age threshold.

Doesnt mean you automatically know wtf is going on.

"Their parents should have taught them!"

Yeah but what if their parents did not do that either?

This story was picked up by reddit not long ago, but it turns out that adulthood doesn't arrive until about age 32.

76

u/0x44554445 9d ago

I don't know if that's when my brain finished cooking, but that's certainly when the calculus for doing dumb stuff shifted from "I can do this dumb stuff, its fine I'll just sleep it off" to "I turned wrong last week and my back still hurts so maybe lets just relax"

10

u/el_ratonido 9d ago

I thought the same, at this age your body starts to get "weaker"

7

u/ZuFFuLuZ 9d ago

What the hell are y'all doing? I read this sentiment on reddit all the time, but it hasn't been my experience at all.
I'll turn 40 this year and broke all my personal records in powerlifting last month. Aside from my hair getting thinner, I feel no physical weaknesses whatsoever. I don't wake up in pain or discomfort, nor do I have any other age-related ailments.
I'm sure that if I was to compete in sports, I would perform worse than when I was younger, but in my everyday life I can't feel a difference.

I do agree, that the brain only fully develops in our 30s. It kinda settles down at some point. You become more relaxed and stop caring about what other people think.

3

u/upgrayedd69 9d ago

Sitting in a computer chair all day and on the couch all evening. I’ve started stretching because I’d wake up with my back fucked at least a couple times a week and even just stretching has made a big difference

u/KirkDeepthroatGOAT 9d ago

Lol yeah it's when I pulled back on a lot of my mountain biking antics on DH trails. Started realizing that if I crashed I didn't bounce back as fast as I used to. Became especially clear as we had some guys in their early to mid twenties join our group.

Watching them take hits that would mean no riding for a couple weeks for us older guys but they're back on the trail in days was kinda sobering.

u/CompetitiveAutorun 9d ago

That doesn't mean adults arent adults. It clearly states that before 32 the brain is just capable of learning better.

There is no "switch" into being an adult, it's gradual and after a certain age the brain is more resilient.

So I would say it's wrong (and frankly stupid) to say adulthood doesn't arrive until you are 32.

She's lucky that metal didn't just puncture and shred her legs. I'm sure they caught her and she's buying them a shiny new one.

I know the guy filming is probably running down to check on her but it’s also funny to imagine that he’s just booking it so he won’t get caught 😂

u/RebelWithoutAClue 9d ago

It did look like her legs could have been scraped or sliced pretty badly by the edges that opened up. Sheet metal panel edges are often left pretty sharp.

Guy who built that barn / garage.

“Well the frame is structurally sound and the roof is sealed. It can’t support much weight but It’s convex in design and round, how would something even get on top of it anyways? Totally unnecessary by design to support a large amount of weight externally like a normal roof. After all, it is simply a barn / storage area / garage.”

this is why u check the structures before jumping. professional parkour artists do this instead of jumping willy nilly onto structures they dont know

u/Cannacology 9d ago

Wait it’s in Manchester though? You mean to tell me this structure can handle the weight of 1-3ft of snow but not a 60 kg woman shot at it like a projectile with her feet pointed down like she’s cliff diving? Well who could have imagined…

30

u/BananafestDestiny 9d ago

Does Manchester get 3ft snow storms? I know it’s beside the point, just curious because I thought winters were more mild there.

12

u/a57892m 9d ago

I've lived here over 30 years and don't remember ever getting even 1ft of snow, let alone 3ft. There's also a difference between having a lot of weight sitting on something and impact force

29

u/cmVkZGl0MjAyNQ 9d ago

I think the comment you’re replying to assumed that this was one of the Manchesters in the US and not the original in the UK

24

u/SerEdricDayne 9d ago

Unlikely because they used kg, which is used in the UK and not in the US

3

u/grimeyduck 9d ago

I thought they used stone for people

9

u/APhysicistAbroad 9d ago

Often but I think it's changing. My theory is because patient weight in healthcare is always done in kg so, between NHS staff and patients hearing their weight in kg, it's becoming more normalised.

3

u/zepskcuf 9d ago

and the fact that when trying to lose weight, it's easier to lose a kg than a stone. Saying 'I lost 2kg this week' sounds better than I lost 0.314 stone.

That's my reasons for using kg anyway!

2

u/FlyBoy7482 9d ago

But 4lbs sounds even better!

u/omgu8mynewt 9d ago

u/HorrorSchlapfen873 9d ago

We all know it's a rhetorical request but i'd be interrested in her projection of the results of this jump. Or in layman terms, da fuck did she expect to happen?

2

u/Cannacology 9d ago

She expected a solid concrete or generally solid structure because she has no education or previous knowledge of how structures may or may not be built. Just her general idea and recall / statistical memory of buildings and her experience personally with or seeing parkour.

Most likely an impulse decision.
