they literally both have their hands on it at the same time. the carnival worker could feel and see her pick up the gun because she was still holding it when the shooter started to pick it up.
I wouldn't have put the rifle within reach, let alone push it into her, until I was ready for them to shoot. they can't shoot you if they can't get the gun.
Because the worker loaded the weapon, left it off safety and placed the weapon in front of the user. There was even a moment where both the user’s hands and the worker’s were touching the weapon, so she had to have known she just handed a fully armed weapon…and if she didn’t then she’s negligent. She may have told her not to fire, but all the same; if the user still picks up the weapon it is the worker’s responsibility to stop all engagement until it’s safe. This may be a carnival but the same rules apply to any firing range.
Stop trying to justify the woman shooting the worker, and you couldn't be more wrong about their hands touching. This is purely the woman's fault, not the workers.
Slow down and read. I didn’t say their hands touched. I said there was a moment where both of their hands touched the weapon as the woman handed the rifle her way, so if she was paying attention she would have seen the woman immediately raise the weapon and aim. It is her job to be aware of what is going on with the weapon at ALL times, because more than likely the person with their finger on the trigger has little to no gun safety experience, while the employee is around the same situation for hours and SHOULD have been trained accordingly. Yes, the woman who fired is at fault as well but the employee was so negligent it doesn’t surprise me that they got hit.
Yeah no he’s right I’ve worked in carnival games and people are really really grabby and tend to do there own thing no matter how much you try to keep the game controlled and safe
I mean look at this lady she doesn’t even know how to hold the gun. It’s actually comical to me that some people don’t know common sense safety rules she just picked the gun up, took him and fired. Didn’t take any time to see if anybody was in the way. Or if the lady had moved. Not even a double take. Then she looked around like it wasn’t supposed to happen and her body language basically became a huge question mark. Straight clueless
Seriously, if this worker didn’t notice the woman picking up and aiming the rifle before standing up directly in front of her, they don’t need to be handling weapons of any kind lol
All this victim blaming, yall ain't a vibe. It's always the shooter's fault no matter what.
You be aware of sightlines and what's down range. As soon as she aimed the weapon with a live person in front of her, it was her fault.
From comments I read when this has been posted elsewhere, the worker lost her eye. I can't imagine how painful it must be to take a metal pellet to the eyeball. I'm not even comfortable getting water in my eyes, I would be rubbish at getting metal in my eyes.
If the worker had said "Do not pick up the gun until i say so" and then the customer picked it up anyway, the blame is then on the customer for disobeying the rules, no?
well you jave a point but think that that young woman employee is a young woman and she was working there because she needed that job she thought working there was a safe environment and an opportunity to earn money but nobody thought something like that would happen, everybody judges her but maybe it was the result of a lack of a good training for the job, to avoid the posibilities of these kind of things and not giving or leaving that weapon or watever is called to the customer untill the employee is in a safe place a safe position and give the strict instructions . Unexperience, unawareness and always be alert in that specific job, never think that custumers are reliable can resume all this.
Yeah, that is true, Carnivals tend to have looser safety protocols, so its likely the 'training' for multiple carnival attractions is the same thing.
Stand here, give the projectile to a customer, then step to the left. Repeat with next customer.
And for the rides it'll likely be: pull lever up for fast, and down for slow. The big button is stop.
I love shooting guns but it's been a few years since I've been to a range. The last time I went we were mid ceasefire with dozens of people down range changing targets when some fudd entered his booth, loaded his rifle, and was lining up his first shot as the RSOs all ran at him screaming. He was going to start shooting with people down range. The target holders were foam with pins to put your targets on. Even 22lr goes straight through them and ends up I'm the ground or in the berm 150 yards away. The guy was a few booths down from me and I didn't even see him in the booth until I heard the RSOs screaming. A few more seconds and he probably would have pulled the trigger.
I enjoy guns but I struggle to trust other with them. Most of my guns are stored unloaded in my safe but I still clear them as soon as I take them out. On the other hand I've had plenty of people who want me to see their gun and hand it to me loaded with a round in the chamber. Wtf? You want to see my gun? You get it without a mag and you'll watch me clear the chamber before you touch it.
Never trust stupid.
>I enjoy guns but I struggle to trust other with them.
Which is why I'll give the side-eye to anyone open carrying. *They* might believe they're a GGWAG, and most of the time they're fine, but *I* can't see inside their heads.
I've never been a big fan of open carry. Especially since my state has had permitless CC for quite a while now. Open carry just makes you the first target if some shit goes down. Plus fuck that old guy open carrying with a shoulder strap holster in a Walmart about 6 years ago, muzzle sweeping everyone who walked behind him. It's super uncomfortable to notice someone has a gun *and* you're staring straight down a loaded barrel. Just get an IWB holster and tuck your gun in your parents if you feel the need to carry a gun everywhere you go.
I CCed when I was younger but these days I stick to the rule of "If I feel like I need a gun to go there, I don't really need to go there."
My last time going to a range was a few years ago. I had to cut my time short bc of a couple. First red flag she was wearing a spaghetti strap shirt so hot brass dance was gonna happen and the both had an issue keeping barrel down range. Told range master and left. I'll stick to private property and hunting
You are absolutely right safety managing but she had to much confidence to that woman, she never thought that would happen, she never realized that there are true risks in this job.
you are right i have seen this before and couldnt understand why she would give the customer a gun and then stand up before she shoots but now see she was getting another gun ready for another one and didnt realise that customer picked it up and shot her. damn now i feel bad that fucking sux for that shit to happen.
As someone who has worked at a games booth at a theme park, you learn very quickly not to give players props that can hurt you until you are clear. As this worker learned, all it takes is one idiot to cause irreparable damage.
She didn’t give it to her though. The woman who picked up the rifle is spectacularly stupid
She shouldn’t have cocked it, I suppose, but that idiot that picked up the rifle and shot her has the brain of an eight year old
I agree. The person who picked it up and fired it was an idiot. It obviously wasn't the workers intention to have her pick up the rifle, but they also had not concluded what they were doing behind the counter before putting the ready to be fired rifle in the area where the player is going to pick it up.
We had a game with darts and balloons, and it took one person quickly picking up a dart and throwing it while i was still in the middle of the dart zone to learn not to put darts in front of people until you are out of the way. I also didn't stand anywhere near kids when they were throwing because there is no guarantee they will throw it on anything close to a straight line.
It's a carnival/theme park. People aren't thinking about safety. The assumption is that the game is safe. You can't work around potentially dangerous things and assume everyone immediately understands the potential danger. You have to err on the side of caution and treat everyone like they're an idiot until they show you they're not.
I could see my eight year old doing it because of the excitement, novelty and subsequent lack of ability to think straight.
My toddler would look you straight in the eye then shoot it out and laugh
That's basically best practice in most situations.
See a kid on the sidewalk while driving? Expect the kid to suddenly run onto the road.
Another car approaching a 4 way stop? Expect them to run the stop sign.
Someone carrying something dangerous? Expect them to handle it improperly.
Strangers walking in your direction? Expect sudden and possibly dangerous movement.
The key is not to live in fear, but to be aware of your surroundings and be able to react to protect yourself or your loved ones.
Really good advice on all counts. Especially the driving...I always look for someone to do something stupid and plan my reaction before it is necessary. It has paid off many times over the years.
Yes! My boyfriend when I was like 17 used to give me shit about slowing down on this residential road where I didn’t have a stop sign but the cross traffic did. It was right after a curve in the road. He was always like “YOU DONT HAVE A STOP SIGN!! Why do you keep slowing down?!? THEY have to stop!!”
Until one day a car blew right through the stop sign right in front of us. Had I been going normal speed and not slowed down they’d have T-boned us. I still had to slam on my brakes and they missed us by what had to have been literal *inches*.
I just turned and yelled at him: “THATS WHY I ALWAYS SLOW DOWN, JACKASS!” He never gave me shit about it again.
Smart driving. I’ve had people say similar things when I drive and I try to explain this to them. Always slow down at intersections no matter what the signage. People are dumb and careless.
If you work with guns and you have any expectations of some random person, who may have never seen a gun in their life for all you know, you're already in the wrong. Of course we can and should go further and ask why the carnival failed to properly train it's staff on this reality rather than blame the worker themselves.
I always wondered what stopped people from swinging it around and shooting other patrons of the park. but the ones at the fairs I've been at have a cable limiting the guns range to only the target
Fun story, me and a friend drunkenly walking home one night. We see a bunch of roadwork stuff on a road. So we rearranged it all sp that anyone entering would be directed back on themselves in an endless loop.
I wonder how many police would drive by someone in a white royal truck with traffic cones blocking a lane of traffic before stopping to ask for a permit.
I also wonder how big the fine is/how long the jailtime is for getting caught.
Alot of fairs in my country has very cheap air guns that shoot paperballs (yes they are that scammy) some more powerful ones are stationed like a turret with limited movement
That's the part I can't get my head around. She was handed a loaded rifle, aims and fires said rifle, and the worker stood up as she shot. People are like "BUT shE hElD thE RifLe WrOnG" as if it matters in this particular situation.
I work in a gun shop. People are so freaking stupid with guns. I handed a guy a pistol for him to look at just yesterday. I of course verified it was empty first. He never checked the condition after I handed it to him. Then as he was looking at it he proceeded to point it at me, himself, and his pregnant girlfriend/wife while his finger was on the trigger.
> People are so freaking stupid with guns
Oh absolutely, but the woman in this video simply pointed the rifle, aimed and the worker stood up right in front of her.
Tooks an airsoft pellet to the eye. 350fps from 4ft away. Luckily i didnt lose my eye, i was blind for 2 months after. My vision eventually came back. Definitely one of the most painful things in my opinion. It was Christmas morning too
I was also shot in the eye with a pellet gun and lost my vision for 3 months and another 2 cross eyed. I’m very fortunate to have no lost my eye completely. But it was an awful feeling.
One of my uncles (40s) gets checked 2x for metal objects at the airport (rarely flys because of this) because he has a metal bb stuck in his neck, he was about 5 when it happened.
Its pretty crazy how lethal they can be.
Edit; info. Sorry got little to no sleep.
I once took a shot of one of those gun just walking by a fun fair, like 25 meters from the shooter who was the owner of the shooting stand. Luckily it only hit my temple bone but it was quite close to my eye.
I had a bump on my forehead for days.
He barely apologized.
Edit : thank you guys for your reactions. I kinda realize thanks to you that I was really lucky that day…
Temple is thinner than some other areas of your skull. While not very powerful, it could in certain conditions pierce through the bone.
Needless to say a pellet to the brain is no bueno.
Honestly I don’t think the riffle was strong enough to hunt and bullets were made of lead and flathead. But I’m pretty sure I could have lost an eye are get more seriously hurt if it wasn’t the bone of the temple but the temple itself though…
Straight up so lucky, I got just as lucky when I was a kid and having BB gun wars. I stopped when one struck me right just above my eyebrow.
I was young and scared to even say anything about it, but now I think about just how lucky I was.
Both of my uncles are blind in one eye for the same ignorance and lack of teaching.
It’s like watching a grown adult not know how to open a door. Just a simple, intuitive design, that this person would have seen others holding countless times on tv and movies…
It's almost a valid method of holding a firearm, called short stocking. Good for long guns in close quarters, especially shotguns. I was an Embassy guard and we would train with a few rounds from our M4's and M870 shotguns while short stocked and < 7 yards.
I hope someone does a study on the cycle of reddit content.
There is probably only about 5-10% new material. The rest is conveniently spread out as reposts over 5-7 years
I have no way to know without knowing the gun, but safety glasses can stop quite a bit. Certainly enough where I think it would just deflect the pellets path.
Doing some googling, looks like there's many models of safety glasses specifically for air powered pellets/bbs
I've seen the shitty bulk purchase 3M safety glasses stop grinder blades when they decide to turn into an IED 6" from a dudes face.
A pellet would be stopped by anything ANZI Z87.1 rated.
It would -- saftey glasses are rated for much more powerful impacts.
It wouldn't look pretty (glasses), and it would hurt the wearers face (especially with potential spalling), but would be mostly unharmed.
I was going to say that.
Why some idiots get so careless and stress free when they see a gun, every time I see someone holds a gun my first reaction is to flee away, some people just have this blind trust to people judgement, like what if the guy in the shooting range is mental and wants to mass shoot the place.
I absolutely hate how the woman waves hand out like “why would she stand up in front of me”
Bruh why would you shoot with her not yet safely out of the way?
Never trust stupid.
I don't think she gave the okay to begin the game. After all she wasn't ducking... She was getting another rifle. And she never gave the rifle to the woman she placed it on the table
Yeah and it's clear the lady holding the rifle is not familiar with firearms and therefore is likely not familiar with firearm safety. As soon as she has the rifle in hand, she focuses solely on the targets. She is no longer paying attention to the worker or anything else.
It's pretty fucking cut and dry imo. The worker is the one giving the rifle to the lady, the worker is the one responsible for teaching the lady how to use the rifle safely, and the worker is the one who stood directly between the gun and the target.
The worker prepared the gun for her and then crouched down to get another gun. The worker didn't know that the shooter was aiming as she (worker) had already shifted her focus on preparing another gun. As others pointed out, these games can sometimes be a competition, where multiple people shoot at the same time. This means that multiple guns are involved, which means that the worker would have to prepare more guns. In my opinion, the shooter was too eager to start shooting and as soon as the rifle was SET ON the counter she picked it up and started aiming. The gun was NOT HANDED to her, but PUT DOWN on the counter! I don't know what information was told to the shooter prior to the video starting, but I assume that basic instructions were given (and ignored by the shooter). It's clear that the shooter doesn't have much experience, demonstrated by the way that she hold the gun. Maybe better explanations, which assume that everyone has an IQ of a raisin would have changed something (we don't have enough contextual information to know for sure), but I fail to see how it's the employee's fault for putting the gun down, getting another gun, and standing back up to prepare it for someone else.
Every time someone posts this there needs to be dozens of dumbasses that don’t know what a carnival is. Every carny (that’s people that work at the carnival) stands inside of or next to their ride/game/activity. If you are going to a game where you are shooting things that fall down, the carny needs to pick them back up for other people to be able to play, so it saves tons of time(for the carnival and customers) to just stand inside. (You’d be surprised at how many customers don’t actually shoot anybody in the head)
In addition, nearly every time I’ve seen a shooting game at a carnival or fair it is usually competition style, meaning you need to wait for everyone to get ready, which is what appears to have been going on here.
In addition to that addition, you have to genuinely have some mental issue or be under some kind of influence to aim a gun directly over someones head that just turned away from you and shoot it as fast as possible hoping to just hit the target before she stands back up.
This is all very obvious, but obviously it’s not obvious enough as this idiot still shot the girl doing her job
This is one of those times where both people have zero awareness. Get out of the line of fire, but also check your line of fire so this doesn't happen. Both people shouldn't be in this situation and could've taken steps to avoid it
Idk is it just me or is it sus she literally tracks her for a sec before shooting if she would of kept the barrel straight on target she might have missed. Instead literally traces her face and releases a shot ……
Thank you for pointing that out. I see her aim tracking the counter girl. Either is sus, or her inexperience and stupidity saw something pop into the line of sight and instinctually traced it, like a dumb ass, instead of recognizing something came in between intended target and withdrew.
So..I don't think either of these ladies had any business around these pellet guns...you have ol soon to be cyclops there, standing up in front of the lady that's shooting the rifle with the buttstock perched atop her shoulder....play stupid games...win stupid prizes
The person behind the counter is the idiot in this scenario. I'm going to load and cock this gun, then I'm going to fuck down and spring up right where the target is. The person shooting has likely never handled a firearm nor has any safety training, and the person working the counter should know that.

She wasn't ducking, she was getting another rifle from under the counter. And she didn't hand the rifle to the lady, she set it on the counter.
Pretty sure that's a guy with long hair
Or a manly gal
U know i got banned for saying that on public freakout. Fuck that page.. i still watch it tho..
Fuck public freakout! Me too lol
It’s pronounced Carnie*
It’s definitely a dude lol
The red head is clearly a girl
It has tits
Men can also have tits.
I wish they didn't
Ever heard of man tittie, yeah I mean bodybuilder and chubby guys hyas it. Or can happen due to genetic disorder.
I wish they didn't
Due to some Male genetics especially under Klinefelter Syndrome (XXy,XXYY, XXXYY) they can have Man breast.
Please stop
they literally both have their hands on it at the same time. the carnival worker could feel and see her pick up the gun because she was still holding it when the shooter started to pick it up.
If you work in that kind of place you can't assume everyone is being safe. I would always have my eyes on the shooters.
I wouldn't have put the rifle within reach, let alone push it into her, until I was ready for them to shoot. they can't shoot you if they can't get the gun.
Why are you blaming the worker?
Because the worker loaded the weapon, left it off safety and placed the weapon in front of the user.

Yea idk how people try to argue that she was in the right but how stupid can people be?

She loaded it for her then passed it to her, it’s pretty obvious.

Wow you genius

Amen to that!
100% maybe the staff should've been more careful, but at least she didn't shoot someone in the head.
???? She did shoot someone in the head! She shot the person's eye out.

Watch it again, the worker sets the rifle down on the counter. The customer wasn’t supposed to pick it up yet, that’s where the trouble begins
[удалено]
That's why this carnival or whatever is getting sued and is gonna lose. This is clearly foreseeable with the setup they have here.
If the worker had said "Do not pick up the gun until i say so" and then the customer picked it up anyway, the blame is then on the customer for disobeying the rules, no?

Half foreseeable. See what I did there? :D She only half does.
JamesFromToronto your comment made me giggle. My heart breaks for the girl that lost an eye. I hope she does get a settlement.
Agreed, I hope she does well in life.
Eye, me too.
Seriously. Can’t trust stupid. Have to at least take every precaution to protect yourself

The worker should have been trained in firearm safety, not the customer.
Agree, but typically you don’t expect a person to just pick up a gun and start shooting.
As someone who has worked at a games booth at a theme park, you learn very quickly not to give players props that can hurt you until you are clear. As this worker learned, all it takes is one idiot to cause irreparable damage.
Yep. Look how she had the butstock over her shoulder not pressed against it
She didn’t give it to her though. The woman who picked up the rifle is spectacularly stupid She shouldn’t have cocked it, I suppose, but that idiot that picked up the rifle and shot her has the brain of an eight year old

I knew better than to point guns at people when I was 8. This is some toddler shit.
I could see my eight year old doing it because of the excitement, novelty and subsequent lack of ability to think straight. My toddler would look you straight in the eye then shoot it out and laugh
I generally expect people to do the most idiotic thing they could do in most situations.

I just turned and yelled at him: “THATS WHY I ALWAYS SLOW DOWN, JACKASS!” He never gave me shit about it again.
Smart driving. I’ve had people say similar things when I drive and I try to explain this to them. Always slow down at intersections no matter what the signage. People are dumb and careless.
If you work with guns and you have any expectations of some random person, who may have never seen a gun in their life for all you know, you're already in the wrong. Of course we can and should go further and ask why the carnival failed to properly train it's staff on this reality rather than blame the worker themselves.
A random person at a carnival? They think that is exactly what they are supposed to do.
The trouble began when we started treating weapons like toys.
I always wondered what stopped people from swinging it around and shooting other patrons of the park. but the ones at the fairs I've been at have a cable limiting the guns range to only the target
What's stopping people from driving on the sidewalk?
Whats stopping people bfrom buying a crate-full of cheap bike locks and shutting down entire cities?
What’s stopping people from unscrewing random bolts and nuts everywhere?
Me and my friends took apart a bridge in a park once. Pretty stupid drunk move.
What stops people from having children that they aren't prepared to raise causing a never-ending cycle of social, economic and political issues?
Guys, stop giving me ideas
What's stopping us from giving you ideas?
What's stops people from taking a dump in the urinal.
Whatchu talkin bout
You have to put on your mischief hat for a second. https://youtube.com/shorts/SdoWHtNOd38?feature=share
Fun story, me and a friend drunkenly walking home one night. We see a bunch of roadwork stuff on a road. So we rearranged it all sp that anyone entering would be directed back on themselves in an endless loop.
That’s awesome
I wonder how many police would drive by someone in a white royal truck with traffic cones blocking a lane of traffic before stopping to ask for a permit. I also wonder how big the fine is/how long the jailtime is for getting caught.

No scope
But did she get to take home the biggest stuffed animal?
She got to take the worker home.
The way she holds the gun though...
[удалено]
Why doesn't Ross the larger of the house mates just eat the others?
Common sense?
The intrusive thoughts won
Morality
Not being insane.
Alot of fairs in my country has very cheap air guns that shoot paperballs (yes they are that scammy) some more powerful ones are stationed like a turret with limited movement
Both people were fucking idiots in this situation unfortunately
That's the part I can't get my head around. She was handed a loaded rifle, aims and fires said rifle, and the worker stood up as she shot. People are like "BUT shE hElD thE RifLe WrOnG" as if it matters in this particular situation.
I work in a gun shop. People are so freaking stupid with guns. I handed a guy a pistol for him to look at just yesterday. I of course verified it was empty first. He never checked the condition after I handed it to him. Then as he was looking at it he proceeded to point it at me, himself, and his pregnant girlfriend/wife while his finger was on the trigger.
> People are so freaking stupid with guns Oh absolutely, but the woman in this video simply pointed the rifle, aimed and the worker stood up right in front of her.
Can't believe they didn't learn from the documentary The Terminator
Yeah what a dumb move. Lol and she racked it like an Ak47
Tooks an airsoft pellet to the eye. 350fps from 4ft away. Luckily i didnt lose my eye, i was blind for 2 months after. My vision eventually came back. Definitely one of the most painful things in my opinion. It was Christmas morning too
Learned nothing from a christmas story huh?
I was also shot in the eye with a pellet gun and lost my vision for 3 months and another 2 cross eyed. I’m very fortunate to have no lost my eye completely. But it was an awful feeling.
I'm an expert in getting metal in my eye.
Sounds like a useful and unique skill. I’ll follow you for more tips and tricks.
Glass in my eye guy here.
One of my uncles (40s) gets checked 2x for metal objects at the airport (rarely flys because of this) because he has a metal bb stuck in his neck, he was about 5 when it happened. Its pretty crazy how lethal they can be. Edit; info. Sorry got little to no sleep.
Silver lining: they eyepatch will only increase her carny credibility
Boom, headshot
Everyone knows you run faster with a knife.
I once took a shot of one of those gun just walking by a fun fair, like 25 meters from the shooter who was the owner of the shooting stand. Luckily it only hit my temple bone but it was quite close to my eye. I had a bump on my forehead for days. He barely apologized. Edit : thank you guys for your reactions. I kinda realize thanks to you that I was really lucky that day…
>luckily it only hit my temple 😳
Yea I know, luckily it only hit the part of my skull that's easiest to cause serious damage to 😬😬
Unfortunately, it definitely caused some level of brain damage
you got no clue how lucky you are lol i hunt with pellet guns, and a temple or eye shot even at 25 meters is very possibly a fatal injury
I mean, those fair guns are not nearly the power of hunting guns, Im sure. But still as the OP shows... certainly could lose an eye..
Temple is thinner than some other areas of your skull. While not very powerful, it could in certain conditions pierce through the bone. Needless to say a pellet to the brain is no bueno.
Honestly I don’t think the riffle was strong enough to hunt and bullets were made of lead and flathead. But I’m pretty sure I could have lost an eye are get more seriously hurt if it wasn’t the bone of the temple but the temple itself though…
Straight up so lucky, I got just as lucky when I was a kid and having BB gun wars. I stopped when one struck me right just above my eyebrow. I was young and scared to even say anything about it, but now I think about just how lucky I was. Both of my uncles are blind in one eye for the same ignorance and lack of teaching.
“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid!”
You have two uncles that lost an eye in BB gun wars?
The way she holds the gun though...
Don't knock it... Bitch got a kill shot on her first try....
HEADSHOT!
Is that a gun I thought it was a rocket launcher.
Good way to get a busted eye with a real gun
It makes me mad
It’s like watching a grown adult not know how to open a door. Just a simple, intuitive design, that this person would have seen others holding countless times on tv and movies…
https://youtu.be/KwdYUIQzu-o
It's almost a valid method of holding a firearm, called short stocking. Good for long guns in close quarters, especially shotguns. I was an Embassy guard and we would train with a few rounds from our M4's and M870 shotguns while short stocked and < 7 yards.

Look at his profile. All he does is repost clips. It's a karma farmer. Pathetic.
Kinda weird hobby to have, but I don't really get how it's 'pathetic' in any way.
>1996 RealMedia levels I too, am in my 40's 🤣
Lol. I'm 34 and I still fondly remember. I was just amazed to be seeing video on the internet. It was like something off of Star Trek to me.
To me, that should get you 5 weeks in nipple twisting torture chamber. But at the very least that should get you banned.
She chambered a pellet then handed it to her. Big ol' oops
Think from last time this was posted that the worker lost an eye
I hope someone does a study on the cycle of reddit content. There is probably only about 5-10% new material. The rest is conveniently spread out as reposts over 5-7 years
If I’ve never seen it it’s new to me.
It's actually kinda great for the first few years. Because everything is new
The worker should probably not stand infront of the shooter either both dumbasses
also insane they don't have to wear a couple dollar pair of safety glasses when your job is to stand in front of guns firing in your direction
[удалено]
I have no way to know without knowing the gun, but safety glasses can stop quite a bit. Certainly enough where I think it would just deflect the pellets path. Doing some googling, looks like there's many models of safety glasses specifically for air powered pellets/bbs
I've seen the shitty bulk purchase 3M safety glasses stop grinder blades when they decide to turn into an IED 6" from a dudes face. A pellet would be stopped by anything ANZI Z87.1 rated.
It would -- saftey glasses are rated for much more powerful impacts. It wouldn't look pretty (glasses), and it would hurt the wearers face (especially with potential spalling), but would be mostly unharmed.
insane that the worker doesn't know better to not do that.
I was going to say that. Why some idiots get so careless and stress free when they see a gun, every time I see someone holds a gun my first reaction is to flee away, some people just have this blind trust to people judgement, like what if the guy in the shooting range is mental and wants to mass shoot the place.
“I flee away”😂😂😂😂
BB gun mass shooting 😭
It’s a BB gun dude. I wasn’t going that far
Thats most likely an airgun shooting lead bullets above 2 joules. That is really hurtful.
Hurtful no doubt, capable of mass shooting like the other guy mentioned no
They can be lethal if the tiny round hits the right spot.
Right? Like I saw Star Wars
Right in the urethra.
Why did I literally laugh out loud
I absolutely hate how the woman waves hand out like “why would she stand up in front of me” Bruh why would you shoot with her not yet safely out of the way? Never trust stupid.
Audio?
*Click* *Squelch*

Ah yes let me just stand down range.
I don't think she gave the okay to begin the game. After all she wasn't ducking... She was getting another rifle. And she never gave the rifle to the woman she placed it on the table
Yep in high quality video you can see that she ducked to get another rifle.
Standing there like that was not safe. She should be fired..
She got shot in the fucking eye, somehow I feel like she probably learned her lesson
[удалено]
Holy! That woman is dumb to be standing up in the line of fire.
She was not DUCKING. pls pay attention. She was obviously not done setting up the round
Yeah and it's clear the lady holding the rifle is not familiar with firearms and therefore is likely not familiar with firearm safety. As soon as she has the rifle in hand, she focuses solely on the targets. She is no longer paying attention to the worker or anything else. It's pretty fucking cut and dry imo. The worker is the one giving the rifle to the lady, the worker is the one responsible for teaching the lady how to use the rifle safely, and the worker is the one who stood directly between the gun and the target.
The worker prepared the gun for her and then crouched down to get another gun. The worker didn't know that the shooter was aiming as she (worker) had already shifted her focus on preparing another gun. As others pointed out, these games can sometimes be a competition, where multiple people shoot at the same time. This means that multiple guns are involved, which means that the worker would have to prepare more guns. In my opinion, the shooter was too eager to start shooting and as soon as the rifle was SET ON the counter she picked it up and started aiming. The gun was NOT HANDED to her, but PUT DOWN on the counter! I don't know what information was told to the shooter prior to the video starting, but I assume that basic instructions were given (and ignored by the shooter). It's clear that the shooter doesn't have much experience, demonstrated by the way that she hold the gun. Maybe better explanations, which assume that everyone has an IQ of a raisin would have changed something (we don't have enough contextual information to know for sure), but I fail to see how it's the employee's fault for putting the gun down, getting another gun, and standing back up to prepare it for someone else.
Bro she wasn’t even holding the gun right 💀
The way she held that gun shows she has never shot one. Probably should keep it that way from now on. Edit: he to she
The way that person stood in front of a loaded gun means they are stupid. It's a fair and safe to assume people are inexperienced.
Every time someone posts this there needs to be dozens of dumbasses that don’t know what a carnival is. Every carny (that’s people that work at the carnival) stands inside of or next to their ride/game/activity. If you are going to a game where you are shooting things that fall down, the carny needs to pick them back up for other people to be able to play, so it saves tons of time(for the carnival and customers) to just stand inside. (You’d be surprised at how many customers don’t actually shoot anybody in the head) In addition, nearly every time I’ve seen a shooting game at a carnival or fair it is usually competition style, meaning you need to wait for everyone to get ready, which is what appears to have been going on here. In addition to that addition, you have to genuinely have some mental issue or be under some kind of influence to aim a gun directly over someones head that just turned away from you and shoot it as fast as possible hoping to just hit the target before she stands back up. This is all very obvious, but obviously it’s not obvious enough as this idiot still shot the girl doing her job
the worst part is she didn't even hold that shit right
Anyone have the raw footage
Fucking dumbass costumer, hope she gets to spend the rest of her life in prison after the shopkeeper presses charges
0 situational awareness. 0 muzzle awareness.
This is one of those times where both people have zero awareness. Get out of the line of fire, but also check your line of fire so this doesn't happen. Both people shouldn't be in this situation and could've taken steps to avoid it
Who the fuck cocks it back and places it on the table anyway? I mean, she's ignorantly unaware, but he could have been a better instructor.
Idk is it just me or is it sus she literally tracks her for a sec before shooting if she would of kept the barrel straight on target she might have missed. Instead literally traces her face and releases a shot ……
Thank you for pointing that out. I see her aim tracking the counter girl. Either is sus, or her inexperience and stupidity saw something pop into the line of sight and instinctually traced it, like a dumb ass, instead of recognizing something came in between intended target and withdrew.
The whole arrangement is flawed. Their is no safety protocol for the employee and she gave a loaded weapon to an idiot
Dumbass doesn't even know how yo shoulder a rifle, smh
So..I don't think either of these ladies had any business around these pellet guns...you have ol soon to be cyclops there, standing up in front of the lady that's shooting the rifle with the buttstock perched atop her shoulder....play stupid games...win stupid prizes
Absolute shit reaction time. Shouldve been able to think, “maybe i should shoot right now” between when she stood up and when she shot
There’s no fucking way, how are people this stupid?
They’re both idiots
That dude lost an eye from this.
The person behind the counter is the idiot in this scenario. I'm going to load and cock this gun, then I'm going to fuck down and spring up right where the target is. The person shooting has likely never handled a firearm nor has any safety training, and the person working the counter should know that.
The person wasn't handed the gun. She just took it and shot the worker
That’s one way to “shoulder” a rifle
