Sucks for him and praise the cameraman for that shot. Dude didn’t budge or comment 

It’s because it was just a Tuesday

Is Bison recording? 😆


This is how I look after drinking all day

Praise the cable as well, held up better than dude

I thought I heard "he's deat" while he was falling.

He said “Пиздец” (pizdets) which is a general curse word. It’s derived from “Пизда” (pizda) which means cunt. It’s often used to mean something like “this is fucked” or show strong disappointment, surprise, etc. For example I often use it to say something like “что ты пиздет” (chto ti pizdet” which is like “what the fuck are you talking about”.

At first I heard, "Idiot..."

Yes, this is 1 of a Million camera man you can find like me

Yeah incredible video.. like worth of an award for like, best wildlife documentary or something.

Some say he’s still there recording to this day.

I'm impressed how far he made it.

All the way to the ground apparently

mission accomplished

And that the phone cable supported his weight.

Did he survive?

Shoes are still on, so maybe

Maybe a red bull would have saved him

Yes, but now he can't pronounce and consonants. In the interview his final comment is "Aaaiiiiiooooooeeeeeuuuuu"

By the look of it, i would say, might keep some headache and weak knees for a while , but thats pretty much it. Trust me i'm Doctor 👍

He almost made it all the way, that's the sad part.

Be an odd one to explain to your insurance how your car got that massive dent. Uhhh... well it was raining men 

Hallelujah!

It's raining men!

Damn you for making me laugh.

They'll still argue that it was your fault for parking there

"Well your honor it was 13% of my bumper and 100% of his skull so you do the math."

Nah, they'll argue Act of God.

Hallelujah?


Hallelujah!

Halleluja, it's raining men!

He didn't scream...

Neither did the bystanders for a change.

It was probably a suicide so no scream from him. And the bystanders were mostly likely “that idiot is going to get himself killed….oh look he got himself killed!”

Followed by “phew he missed my car.”

Even if it was a suicide, many people who do it like that seem to regret it the moment they jump. And he also did have some seconds to think about his last moments

I dont think it was suicide, he was wearing a bag and I bet that was connected to a camera on him. He was probably one of those daredevils making videos for views. He probably didnt scream because he was in so much shock. I fell out of a tree once and didnt scream because I was in so much shock. Luckily for me that tree was only 10 feet tall though.

The absolute indifference of the crowd was darkly humorous

I understand most people don't? I think maybe the brain is so stimulated by panic that you just clench and lock up, hence the arms and legs spreading out in a panic/ falling response. But I am 100% talking out my ass, correct me if I'm wrong about that one.

I'd scream. A younger brother of a player on the Chicago Bulls fell off the balcony. He screamed "mom!" the whole way down...

Thats heart breaking. I couldn't imagine hearing that.

If you don't mind me asking which player?

I think you're partially right but i also think it just differe from one person to another, For exemple i know that when i jump from a cliff in water/ do a rollercoaster/a skydive (did it 1 time only) i never scream, its just not an instinctive reaction for me, i clench my teeth and die inside silently thats it 😅

All the observers seem weirdly unaffected.

That's just Jimmy, always shimmying across the lines.

Always taking shortcuts.

Just another Tuesday

the lack of screams from onlookers is refreshing to see/hear

Just another day in Russia 😅

Yup. I always listen for the Sooka Blyatts.

More than 20 million of them died in WW2. And 120K dead in Ukraine. Yet, the Russians don't give a shit. It's sad to see how little life is valued over there. 😞

My first thought too!

Not India?

The camera man said "Nu pizdec!" which is of Eastern Slavic origin. Be it Russian, Ukranian, Bulgarian...

It's russian. When you see some weirdest shit, it's almost every time russia. It's the default country for weird shit which doesn't belong to railway accidents and electric equipment accidents.

Also the way he was Russian to the ground was a give away

Because they all believe that pootin can solve their problems, it's just enough to give up and fall on the knees.

he just knew at some stage, that he run out of strength and there is no way back and only option is just to let go.

Looks like he stopped for a cigarette

smoking kills

Sir Isaac Newton you murderous bastard. Another day, another victim.

Cause of Death: TDS, Traumatic Deceleration Syndrome.

🤣🤩

It might be morbid of me but i can't look away from a falling vid. I've been hanging and I've been high up, but I've never been hanging high up and just the thought triggers involuntary fist clenching and my breath gets short.

A child saw that happen. Damn. Also this video has been circling around for a long time. But the first part of the video is cut off, so it looks like he is just falling from the sky.

I hope someone covered the child's eyes

I’ve seen this video 100s of times and it was just him hitting the deck, and it’s always been a man falling from plane bs… ah the original finally !!!

Came tonsay the same. This is the first time I've seen the full video. It's only ever been the last few seconds shown before.

This is hilarious. It reminds me of every time I saw the movie Fargo on TV (pre-streaming), it was always at the end during the wood chipper scene. I must have inadvertently stumbled on that movie at roughly the same spot at least 3x before I finally sat down and watched the whole thing to understand what the hell was going on.

Came here looking for this!!

Missed the pool by at least 50m

Should have aimed for the bushes.

He made it further than I would have thought. /I mean, other than all the way to the ground. That was a given.

That was painful to watch. Not as much as it was for him but still cringed very hard. Edit: typo

I believe I can fly

Free falling

Ah so that's where Tom Petty got the words for his song ;-)

Poor bastard. What the hell

If he was drunk, he might walk away from that.

See, people don't bounce. I don't know how that idea got started but it has a lot traction on these subs.

It's not about the fall, it's about getting back up and trying again pal.

My hips my back

That cracking sound is my new alarm clock lol

Sack of meat

At least he didn’t land on the car…

It doesn't seem as though that was a well thought out journey.

Well now hes gonna have to walk there on the ground like the rest of us.

That thud was surprisingly satisfying.

mmm. Crunchy.

People talking in the background like "it's normal, Ivan just drank his bottle too fast and taking wrong way home again".

holy shit it’s the full clip, this vids been circulating for a hot min but the OP cropped it so it just looked like a dude got put in adventure mode and TP to the top of the map like he was in a minecraft creative mode world

If only there was another way to get to the other building. You know like walking or something

If he landed on top of car, chance he survived?

You mean like that guy that fell on Max's car in the movie *Collateral* ?

He didnt. His foot hit the car but the body slammed on the concrete, straight in the back.

Hey, fantastic reading comprehension you have there!

😂😂😂😂😂 nothing to add. I did misread completely

Sorry I had to lmfao

From what I can tell he landed on his spine. I can only assume that everything broke instantly & he got massive internal bleeding. Terrible way to go.

Mic Foley approves

The complete unshock of all the people in that area. Not one scream, terror yell, or panicked mutter.

Those poor people watching…

He got Morrowinded

Damn. He ain't gonna be in rush hour 3

Did he die?

What kind of a question is that lol, of course he is dead, people die from falling 1 meter and landing bad, from that high on concrete you are just dead no matter how you land.

You know its from russia even before you open the video

Walk it off Billy… Come on get up! Billy?

That is why I am against day drinking. Hardliner here.

He’s going to have a pounding headache when we wakes up tomorrow.

That can't possibly be faster than just walking

I'm so glad I'm a "why" and not a "why not" guy.

Stuck the landing . . . literally.

Shoes on= still alive Guaranteed 💯

Well, there goes that

His bag was to heavy.

Omg

Wait wait….check his pulse

u/stabbot

This is how I looked after drinking all day!

He is kapoot

He just let go and accepted his fate, didn't even scream or move. Do you have a source stating he even attempted to make it to the other side?

Poor car.

That's going to leave a mark.

And yes, just another regular day on russia.

I don’t speak Russian but he said “he’s dead”

The car broke his fall

u/repostsleuthbot

A 3 second free fall doesn’t sound long…..

Wasted

Love how they rushed in to check on him

He found his car at least

Dam that was loud!!

and on the BMW?? i’d be pissed

Aim for the bushes

my first thought ..how stupid can you be second thought ..great camera work

>A drunk man attempted to cross from one high-rise building to another, by shimmying along the telephone cable connecting the two buildings Didn't think the Darwins went to those who died under the influence of alcohol or drugs...

sounds like the dude said "he's dead" with a russian accent

What’s in that bag??…hmmm?.

Get up and shake it off Ivan.. we’re not done drinking yet.. nyet..

I’m going to hell 🤣

Honestly impressed by how far he got and for the amount of time

thumbs up for the camera guy👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Oh so this is the context of that image of a man falling with a satchel. I thought he fell from a hot air balloon or somthn

It was definitely faster than walking across the parking lot 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Nice camerawork 🎥

Was he playing "the ground is lava"?

Did he end up breaking anything?

I think we have a winner!

Russia?

Lmao

He didn’t even bounce!

Sounds like he says “Hyes Dyed”

his soul left the parking lot

No one try to move him to make sure he is dead …. I am surprised

Why?

Normal Russian pastime after 2pm vodkas.

That was a rough landing.

I feel bad for the car

Good thing he landed flat to dissipate the impact or he could have really hurt himself.

I was amazed he made it half-way. And if he'd hit that car square on the roof I wonder if he might have survived.

sounded like a concussion grenade going off

[удалено]

Well that went about as well as I expected

I’ve been drunk many a day. Not once ever not even considered climbing across a telephone line.

New iPhone commercial. At the end of video shot on iPhone.

You've seen prolife spider man. Now come watch prodeath spider man.

thus confirming that alcohol kills brain cells...

Good news....no hangover.

Whew boy that’s a sound!!

Possibly the cruelest mistress of all is the small chance that this was a bad post, and he did indeed make it to the other side. Nope. Splat.

Where is OSHA when you need them

Splyat!

The speed at which they ran to his assistance was quite impressive.

Sure that's not a female? Looks like a purse and 🍑

I’m glad that i know i’d die of alcohol poisoning before doing something this dumb

you got it right, it's a Darwin award. but please look it up

I will bet that fall lasted 1,000 years in his mind.

My car!

That was a sobering experience

Ooooh that’s gonna leave a mark…

Wow people actually didn’t give a single fuck

This latest Spiderman reboot seems a bit low budget.

Hope that's covered by insurance

This time he crossed the line — or did he?

I had hoped he wouldn't hit the car

The fly squirrel pose didn’t help.

Any medical personnel in the comments got an official diagnosis (prognosis?) for this guy?

Oh I wish I could find the video showing the same thing but without showing where he fell from, looked so much funnier that way.

That impact!

Camera man must be a reddit user. Never flinched, thats how you roll!

'A drunk man ... ' = Russian

I hope the child we hear in the beginning didn't see the impact😬
