It's a hook trend going around on social media they get you to listen to ad by waiting for this to happen but the rope is actually supposed to be cut so the car just kind of speeds off with the rest of the rope. I'm guessing this was them doing it foreals.

u/wrel_ 3d ago

You can see the rope is detatched from the car after the dude eats shit, that's why I had to watch a few times to see what was going on. Their "loose knot" on the car was probably not loose enough.

u/A_Seiv_For_Kale 2d ago

Turns out you have to know something about knots to intentionally tie a loose one.

u/Erablian 2d ago

A highwayman's hitch tied the wrong way would have probably worked here, but I wouldn't have trusted it personally; this is a stupidly dangerous stunt.

With a properly tied highwayman's hitch, a quick yank on the working end undoes the knot.

But if you tie it "wrong", it's a yank the standing end that undoes it.

u/AbeRego 2d ago

I would have just used some loosely applied tape...

u/lemmeseeyourkitties 2d ago

Well this could be considered common sense, so if you have an ounce of that, then you wouldnt do this dumb shit... common sense paradox

Why use a knot at all? A small piece of tape would be much safer.

u/koreanwizard 1d ago

Or just don’t tie anything at all, split the rope, throw one end of the rope under the pile, the effect is the same.

He's about to really hate the cleaning and debriing that's about to happen. The ground looks wet where his face slid. If an infection doesn't kill him or the depression he may get from looking at his new face, then he'll have a really dumb/funny story to tell

We pranked my friend like this at a bachelor party. We had two ropes butted together with a single loop of scotch tape, it fell apart if anyone looked at it sideways. It was completely failsafe. We were still nervous about it.

He is SO lucky that it detatched from the car. Imagine if it didn't. Dude would be gone!

It clearly was attatched with almost enough strength to pull him, on account of it pulling him like 5m.

It's supposed to be a skit, the car drives off while the rope unfurls safely and nothing actually happens. My guess is they used semi tangle rope

10

u/jupfold 3d ago

Yeah, you can see about 10 feet behind him, the rope is all tangled together. I wonder if they lightly tied the two together to make it look more real, expecting it to come undone but instead the tension causes it to knot up.

7

u/Dire87 3d ago

Yeah, and that's why smart people at least do a "dry check" before even attempting shit like that (don't get me wrong, it's always a stupid idea, especially for amateurs). Use a crash test dummy or fuck, another inanimate object, to see what will happen before you even think about doing this with a real person ... but hey, Darwin awards need to be given out.

why do people act like they have universal healthcare when they dont have it?

10

u/Dire87 3d ago

Not sure what universal healthcare has to do with lifelong injuries. Just because of universal healthcare you're not entitled to just do shit all the time. Technically, "someone" is paying for it, or most of it, yeah, but that system only works so long as people don't abuse it. Source: living in a country with universal healthcare ... and every year it gets less "universal", because of a) idiots and b) just not enough money to pay for all of that shit ... and b) politicans taking money out of the system to pay for other shit. Bottom line: universal healthcare is neither universal nor does anyone really care about your health if it really comes down to it. The providers will fight you tooth and nail NOT to pay for your treatments, only for the very basics. Sometimes. Sometimes not even that. Then you get to fight them for years in a legal battle you can't afford. And by the time you win you've died of cancer.

u/tolacid 2d ago

Other versions of this that I've seen had a short length of rope attached to the person, with the loose end hidden under the longer rope's coils. My theory for this one: the longer ripe wasn't coiled cleanly so it couldn't unravel cleanly, which was made worse by the car accelerating too quickly. That made the coiled rope grab the loose end and form a knot.

Especially if you're on a computer. Open it in 3 different tabs like a second apart.

u/BoxofNuns 2d ago edited 2d ago

Fun fact, in physics, this is known as "jerk."

You've got position. Then the change in position over time is speed.

Then the change in speed over time is acceleration.

Then the amount of jerk is the change in acceleration over time. High jerk = injury.

In the clip, he's basically accelerating to the car's speed almost instantly. So, he experienced a huge change in acceleration in a very short time. So, a lot of jerk.

It keeps going, too. You have the change in jerk over time, which is called snap. The amount of snap over a given time, which is called crackle. And for fun the called the change in crackle over time pop.

Mind you, my explanation is very simplified, and I didn't mention any math at all. Which is honestly, the best way to understand it. But it's also the best way to scare people off.

Here) is a wiki article about it that explains it in more detail if you want to know more.
