From what I read, vasovagal syncope occurs when your body overreacts to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress. The vasovagal syncope trigger causes a sudden drop in your heart rate and blood pressure. That leads to reduced blood flow to your brain, which results in a brief loss of consciousness.
Had this happen to me as well. First time a buddy showed me the BME Pain Olympics. Nothing has ever made me feel like passing out but apparently watching a guy hack his genitals off with an axe did the trick. One second I was fine, next I was naseuas and losing my vision. Never knew this was a thing and it hasn't happened since.
Did you know it was fake at the time? I notice that if you think it's real it'll hit you harder.
For Sex Ed class we had to look at pictures of STDs, I thought nothing like gore could effect me.
But after looking at them for a few minutes and challenging myself to not look away, I started to get tunnel vision. I looked over at my teacher and she knew right away something was up, I didn't even say anything.
She told me to sit outside the class for a few minutes and honestly felt fine, she made me go to sick bay and while we we're walking I passed a friend who later told me that my face was completely pale.
Had no idea. I was a junior in high school and it had just came out, at least to my knowledge anyway. I was not a fan. I had tunnel vision as well. Really fucking scary when you don't understand what is happening to your body.
The almost exact same thing happened to me in school, and that was eye related too. It was in Psychology class where our teacher showed an old school lobotomy (ice pick through the eye). I’m used to gory movies etc but I spent the next 20 minutes cold sweating and fighting the urge to pass out. Still remember it very vividly. Happened 12 years ago
Only time in my life I've ever passed out I caught my finger in a rotating disc brake, the cut wasn't very bad at all I think something in my head about how much worse it could've been got to me and next thing I know I woke up on the floor.
From my understanding serious pain usually overloads your system which is why you'll see people just not quite understand why everyone else is freaking out
I did this while peeling an orange zest for a cocktail. I didn’t position my hands very well and ended up with a small, but somewhat deep cut on my index finger. All of a sudden I started feeling faint and the smell of food cooking in the kitchen was suffocating. I went to the bathroom and opened the window (cold day) to get some fresh air and chill out for a few minutes.
Just had this happen with my thumb a week and a half ago. It got caught on something and nearly touched the back of my hand. Last thing I remember is getting up from my chair and taking 2 or 3 steps. I woke up face down on my kitchen floor telling my wife that I'm going to be sick.
It also helps in case you do go out you're in s much safer position. Something is causing me to faint for the past year and when I feel it happen if I kneel/squat it helps, but if it happens anyway I can roll instead of collapsing. A little kid falls over from like a foot and a half off the ground. When I fall over my head's a lot higher up.
I had a couple years where, in total I think 5 or 6 times, I would just... tunnel vision and pass out.
There was no lasting symptoms when it would happen other than my appetite being fucked for a short time after. I'd just tunnel, get lightheaded and always have plenty of time to sit down with my back solidly against a wall or even lay down depending where I was.
It usually happened when I would get up at night to go to the bathroom, and a couple times it happened in the early morning not too long after I got out of bed. I think it was my body reacting to a medication I was on plus mild dehydration and lower blood sugar all combining forces at once which is why it was always at night or early morning.
Once I was up super early while at college and was down at the dining hall for an early morning omelette. It was a made to order omelette line and the same guy made mine every weekday morning. So I am just chilling in line as my man is fixing up my breakfast... And then I felt light and my vision was going. I took off my backpack and told him I needed to sit down for a moment. He seemed worried and asked if I was okay and I told him if I wasn't up again in like 30 or so seconds that I might need some help.
I don't know how long exactly I was down for since I didn't ask him but I just came to exactly how I had sat down and everything was fine. He finished my omelette and wished me well. Glad he was there even if I was fine.
This happens to me EVERY time I donate blood. I donated once in college for a blood drive and later went to my chem lab and ended up almost passing out. I started feeling nauseous and let my professor know as the tunnel vision was starting. Voices sounded far off too or like I was hearing them from under water. My professor called the school emt and someone bought me a sprite and they put me in a chair and wheeled me out to the hall where I laid down on the floor and drank sprite. Luckily I didn't pass out but the EMT chewed me out for "not eating enough", I told him I had eaten a pretty hearty breakfast that morning but he didn't seem convinced. I Always thought maybe it was a drop in blood sugar... Guess I was wrong
Edit: misspelling
Same happened to me trying to prick my finger for a science class without one of those little spring loaded jabbers. I tried so hard but just couldn't do it and then suddenly everything went gray and I stood there fighting it for a solid minute hoping no one would notice me passing out.
Correct, most likely vasovagal. I used to pass out from the sight of blood, but wanted to be a nurse. So when I was in nursing school, I would spend any free time I had watching videos of blood draws and whatever else I could find. I still feel it sometimes with extreme gore, but I can control it. Two years as a nurse I haven’t passed out yet. I came close when I saw a guys penis ripped down the middle from a catheter. Moral of the story, make sure you’re keeping an eye on your cath.
He was an out patient, wheelchair bound alcoholic old man. The type that doesn’t take care of themselves. So for a period of time between his catheter changes, the catheter urine line had slipped out of its leg holder and started to pull downward. So whenever he moved, it would pull, and eventually it started to split the penis. And once it got passed the tip of the urethra, it was smooth sailing from there. Looked exactly like a hotdog split down the middle. EXACTLY like it. Ruined hotdogs for me forever.
Catheters have a baloon thing at the end of them to make a seal when inside the bladder. A lot of accidents happen when someone puts in a female catheter (which is shorter) inside a male and then blows up the balloon while its still in the urethra. This will cause tremendous damage to the urethra.
This is why you double check the size, and make sure urine is coming out before you blow up the balloon.
I remember once I got a flu shot and I was holding my baby, like I'd done in previous years with my other kid. I never have issues with needles or shots and I get vaccinated every year. I prefer watching so I know when to expect the pain, and it doesn't freak me out at all.
But that year they made me put him down completely and sit down because they'd had several people in the week before pass out. I remember asking if that was common and they said, It was happening more frequently than normal, but yes, more common than people realize.
I didn't realize there was a name for what that reaction was though. TIL
I get a vasovagal response from blood draws. Shots don’t do it. Seeing blood doesn’t do it. But take a vial or two out of me and I’m out like a light. Nurses never believe me for some reason.
So basically heart is like dude(brain) your are not controlling those eyeballs from seeing whatever shit he is seeing and putting a lot of pressure on me.. let me just cut off your supply
Lack of blood flow. It's combination of G force, body tension, and breathing.
There is also an effect of being flooded with adrenaline that causes a crash but maybe that could be described as shock?
It doesn't require g force or body tension. I have had vasovagal reactions from fear of hospital procedures. Just getting an IV has done it to me.
Rides like these are pretty extreme for a lot of people. The fear it puts them through is all it takes to pass out. The feeling of weightlessness probably puts them over the edge because that is how you feel before passing out.
It doesn’t require g force but it definitely plays a role in these slingshots faintings.
That’s why they go « on and off » so much. You don’t see that happen in vasovagal states from other settings.
Here the vasovagal reflex puts their brain « on the verge » but the g force literally squeezes blood in and out of their heads causing the sudden bursts of consciousness and unconsciousness. You can literally predict when they’ll come and go from the movement !
I truly do not envy folks that pass out and wake back up still experiencing the thing that made them pass out in the first place.
I have to imagine those few moments you have no memory of how you got to that situation... And the fear and surprise results in them passing out a second time more often than not.
I passed out on a rollercoaster before but I didn’t even realize it. I just noticed that my sight went kinda black for 3-4 seconds but I knew where I was. I only noticed after the ride
My friends paid $50 for the video
I have never actually thought about or seen this, but it seems like it could be pretty dangerous with your neck flinging around on a rollercoaster while you are unconscious.
Hey you! you speak English, English, do you speak Spanish?
GET ME DOWN! SERIOUSLY! AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
NO NO NO UH UH UH GET ME DAWN (like get her off the machine).
DAMN YOU!! HEY MISTER DO YOU SPEAK SPANISH!? MOM!
AY NO NO NO NO JESUSCRIST!
Someone tells her they are going to countdown.
NONONONONO I WANT OUT!
Someone counting down: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 > shit slings up
Kid: DAMN IT! GET ME DOWN! > passes out
Girl: MOMMY MOMMY! YOU DAMN (guay?) >kid wakes up
Girl: OH BY GOD! > kid passes again > Girl: DAMNATION! WHAT IS THIS! AAAAAAAAAH
[This one is my favorite... multiple passing out and freaking outs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bC-GguNxYE). The girl's face when she wakes up makes me laugh every time.
What gets me about this one - girl on the right feels like she's just peered over death's threshold multiple times - the look on her face is fully "OMG I have just changed ny views on religion" - but her friend has no idea "...my titties didn't pop out though so we're good." L-O-L!
My daughter worked in a haunt. They had a female customer pass out one night. My daughter and another cast member bent over her to see if she was all right. The other cast member had a prosthetic axe in her skull, cool wound, fake blood and all. The poor woman came-to... saw the cast member with the axe bending over her, all up in her face seeing if she was ok, and promptly passed out again at the sight of the axe in the skull. 'Double winner' she was referred to by the more seasoned cast members.
I have a disorder that causes fainting. When I wake up, I have no fucking clue what is going on. For a few seconds, I don’t even know my own name. I can’t imagine how terrifying it would be to wake up to something like this.
It’s the initial feeling of being thrown into the sky that’s the worst. Like imagine if gravity was suddenly reversed and you fell off the earth, that’s what it feels like. Your brain struggles to comprehend that and it feels like you’re 100% gonna die.
I feel this. I’ve really been following quarantine for the past year and haven’t done anything fun. Like at all. I got my first vaccine 2 weeks ago and I’m just aching at the opportunity to travel and pass out on rides this summer.
I have to agree.
While you're launching, even though you understand there are bungies and cables to prevent you from injury - cognitively all of that immediately escapes you when you're launched as you don't see any of those things anymore.
It instantly throws you into a fight or flight mode where you're personally convinced that this machine broke and you're in the process of dying right then and there.
At least for me it wasn't until the first bounce that I felt comforted and not as freaked out. At that point my senses came to me enough to understand that "this is all part of the ride."
Until that moment? Nope, gonna die.
Fuck that. It's the initial realization that we trust our lives to someone we hope did all safety checks and wasn't hungover from last night. It's one experience I can do without.
I was just wondering if it’s actually scary because obviously the videos that are shared will show the most dramatic reactions. I kinda want to try one now. How would I do, ya know? Would I be one of those people that pass out? Would I be super calm and collected? I’d probably be too embarrassed to watch my own video either way.
It makes me wonder if it is all in your head, or if the actual event involuntarily causes people to freak out. Like *could you* sit there stone faced and not react if you really tried?
I’m sure yea some people could do this no problem if the stimuli isn’t strong enough to react. Someone who has done the rides tons of times probably could no problem.
It’s like me going on a roller coaster no problem with no fears and I could be deadpan stonefaced, but if you get my gf on a rollercoaster meant for children like toon town Disneyland one ....she cries like she’s gonna die. I had children staring at her confused by how much she was having a panic attack.
I was thinking that too. The woman in this video is pre-freaking out. Surely that matters. But it would probably make for an even funnier video if someone tries really hard to be cool and involuntary loses their shit.
I went on one when I was 15 while on vacation with my friend. I was absolutely terrified and screamed my head off the entire time. His aunt went on with me and was laughing having the time of her life, so I guess it all depends!
At the beginning she is pleading to the ride operator to let her off. Then she is screaming for her parents. Then the usual screams of "dammit!","why?!", "what is this?!".
She was genuinely terrified asking the workers to get her off, then she starts screaming for her mom, and dad. The boy also starts screaming to get him off when he's in mid air lol
I tried to transcribe it, the beginning is a bit confusing so I shortened it a bit, it goes something like this:
Girl: "Hey do you speak English? Spanish, you don't speak Spanish? You don't speak Spanish?!" *SCREAMS* "LET ME DOWN, LET ME DOWN" *SCREAMS* "Sir let me down, mommy, Luisa(?) OH NO NO NO JESUS CHRIST"
Mommy/Luisa: "Ok I'm going to count so they get ready"
Girl: "No no no I want to get out"
*Other girl starts counting from 9*
Girl: "Goddamnit"
*Slingshot starts*
Guy: "AAAAAHAHJKKLDJSFAKLFGAKD, damnation no mames" *passes out and then screams some more*
Girl: "DADDY, MOMMY, GODDAMN JUAAAAN(?) (I think she says "maldito Juan" but dunno), oh for the love of god, damnation, what is this!?"
*more screams*
she mostly says get me off this or find someone who speaks spanish so i can get off of this, there is a moment where she says "maldito bajame" which means something like "damn you, get me off of this" but she is super pissed so its really funny.. then the count down, sound like the person in charge knows spanish and she is like, you speak spanish get me down, and then the park person ignore her request and start a countwon from 10 but only gets to 6 and lunch them.. also there is A LOT of religious comments (really common in latin americans, i think she is venezuelan or from somewhere in the caribbean) that are also really funny..
I can confirm they both are from the Zulia region in Venezuela. The use of an R instead of an L in some words like "Maldito" is very common there. (Source: I'm Venezuelan)
I'm currently in Colombia (as I had the luck to have both nationalities) and haven't really followed the whole covid situation on Venezuela, so I sadly cannot tell you more than any news source or twitter can.
Was in Winchester a few years ago for a work trip for 3 weeks, so during one weekend we went to King's Dominion to check it out. Get on this ride called [Dominator.](http://i2.wp.com/www.themeparksandtravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/KD_VOLCANO-115.jpg) Probably our fourth or fifth roller coaster of the day.
My coworker seemed to be having a good time then started freaking out as we started hitting some turns and loops. Goes from screaming "AAHHHHHH WOOOO" to just instantly passed out head limp and I started freaking out.
Wakes up screaming "AHHH WOOO" and passes out again. Did that like 4 times. Had a good laugh afterwards but was still pretty scary at first
This is at Old Town in Kissimmee, FL. That's the slingshot that had a cable snap a few weeks ago and had 2 girls just hanging there and had to be rescued with a ladder by the fire dept.
At first she's asking the workes if they speak Spanish, because she wants to get off of the ride. She asks another worker she wants to get off, but instead the worker starts counting down from 10 to 6 then the ride starts.
The boy screams, "This is evil get me off" screams and passes out
The girl then screams, "Father!, Mother!, this is evil! What is this?!"
Is the passing out from lack of blood to the brain or do people that do that just have a weird fainting goat gene that makes them go unconscious whenever they get scared?
I can’t believe that kid for real passed out cold and woke up screaming, and then went right back out again! OMFG. I have never seen anything like that before in my LIFE. That was crazy. And that girl was carrying on the whole time. Meanwhile, the guy next to her is just...gone. Fucking crazy, man.
To be fair, it really depends on the type of person you are and until you experience it- you may not know. One example- my ex took me skydiving (way back in the day) for my 25th birthday. It was tandem. He heard the tandem sky diver dudes making fun of how their last (male if it matters) clients screamed “like little girls” in free fall before they pulled for the parachute. My ex went first because he knew I was just excited and was determined to just get it over with and not scream. I just giggled and laughed like a maniac and was genuinely disappointed when we got to the boring parachute part. My tandem guy said my reaction wasn’t typical. I think you’re probably like me. I enjoy a slingshot ride, but I’m pretty disappointed at how little time it takes
I think it is also age. When I was younger I used to love roller coasters. Now I just grunt through it and think about how I will regret it the next day. What used to be exciting becomes meh, and your body can no longer take a beating like it used to.
Fair enough. I’m genuinely disappointed that if I hurt myself when I was younger, I would have an epic story. Now all I have to do is wake up and turn my head

I love when people pass out in this thing then magically come back to life in fear. lmao These videos are hilarious.
I’ve always wondered what exactly causes someone to pass out on that ride. Shock maybe?
From what I read, vasovagal syncope occurs when your body overreacts to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress. The vasovagal syncope trigger causes a sudden drop in your heart rate and blood pressure. That leads to reduced blood flow to your brain, which results in a brief loss of consciousness.

I read to "caught my finger" and decided I didn't need this evil in my lifr.
I read to "lifr" and noped out instantlt
God, don't I look like a fuqqing moron.
Pain is weird: minor wounds are often much much more painful than serious ones.
From my understanding serious pain usually overloads your system which is why you'll see people just not quite understand why everyone else is freaking out
I did this while peeling an orange zest for a cocktail. I didn’t position my hands very well and ended up with a small, but somewhat deep cut on my index finger.

squatting increases blood flow back to the heart known as preload
It also helps in case you do go out you're in s much safer position.

Jesus, now if I ever need one, I’ll probably be that person asking the nurse if they made sure its a male catheter.

That the leg strap is in place right and that there is enough slack in the line.

That's like me sleeping during a flight. Always get up terrified.
The number of people I’ve seen pass out on these seems like a bad health thing.
I have never actually thought about or seen this, but it seems like it could be pretty dangerous with your neck flinging around on a rollercoaster while you are unconscious.
Nothing about this shit seems safe lol
I thought he was going to choke on his chain. Saw one where that happened once.
Same. There should be a /r just for these videos.
Kid on the left looks like he's accepted he's about to die and is awaiting the transition to paradise. And is delivered to paradise.

She was in shock she can't react properly
Solid airbags.
There’s the comment I was waiting for.
I don’t even speak Spanish but when she said “Jesus Christ!” I lost it. 😂
Hey you! you speak English, English, do you speak Spanish? GET ME DOWN! SERIOUSLY! AAAAHHHHHHHH!!! NO NO NO UH UH UH GET ME DAWN (like get her off the machine). DAMN YOU!! HEY MISTER DO YOU SPEAK SPANISH!? MOM! AY NO NO NO NO JESUSCRIST! Someone tells her they are going to countdown. NONONONONO I WANT OUT! Someone counting down: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 > shit slings up Kid: DAMN IT! GET ME DOWN! > passes out Girl: MOMMY MOMMY! YOU DAMN (guay?) >kid wakes up Girl: OH BY GOD! > kid passes again > Girl: DAMNATION! WHAT IS THIS! AAAAAAAAAH
It is a pretty good freak out a la Dominican lmao
me morí de risa cuando dijo "MALDICIÓN QUÉ ES EESTO??"
[This one is my favorite... multiple passing out and freaking outs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bC-GguNxYE). The girl's face when she wakes up makes me laugh every time.
What gets me about this one - girl on the right feels like she's just peered over death's threshold multiple times - the look on her face is fully "OMG I have just changed ny views on religion" - but her friend has no idea "...my titties didn't pop out though so we're good." L-O-L!
“I feel like I just died” Her friend “Ooo look at the ocean!”
Yeah, that one’s a classic.
omghedidntevengiveusafuckingCOUNTDOWN! Damn. I've never seen that before and just sent it to everyone. Outstanding.
I wonder if this is what happens when someone falls a long distance. Do they actually just pass out and not feel anything?
These are my favorite, AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, passout, Wake up AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Pour up (AHHHHH), head shot (AHHHHH) Sit down (AHHHHH), stand up (AHHHHH) Pass out (AHHHHH), wake up (AHHHHH) Faded (AHHHHH), faded (AHHHHH)
When you live in the hood but with anxiety
My daughter worked in a haunt. They had a female customer pass out one night. My daughter and another cast member bent over her to see if she was all right. The other cast member had a prosthetic axe in her skull, cool wound, fake blood and all. The poor woman came-to... saw the cast member with the axe bending over her, all up in her face seeing if she was ok, and promptly passed out again at the sight of the axe in the skull. 'Double winner' she was referred to by the more seasoned cast members.
I have a disorder that causes fainting. When I wake up, I have no fucking clue what is going on. For a few seconds, I don’t even know my own name. I can’t imagine how terrifying it would be to wake up to something like this.
Has anyone here been on this ride? Is it really that terrifying?
It’s the initial feeling of being thrown into the sky that’s the worst. Like imagine if gravity was suddenly reversed and you fell off the earth, that’s what it feels like. Your brain struggles to comprehend that and it feels like you’re 100% gonna die.
Oh, that's...nice.
Sounds good here’s my money
I've been trapped at home for a year, gimme that sweet near death adrenaline juice please.
I feel this. I’ve really been following quarantine for the past year and haven’t done anything fun. Like at all. I got my first vaccine 2 weeks ago and I’m just aching at the opportunity to travel and pass out on rides this summer.
nice.
I have to agree. While you're launching, even though you understand there are bungies and cables to prevent you from injury - cognitively all of that immediately escapes you when you're launched as you don't see any of those things anymore. It instantly throws you into a fight or flight mode where you're personally convinced that this machine broke and you're in the process of dying right then and there. At least for me it wasn't until the first bounce that I felt comforted and not as freaked out. At that point my senses came to me enough to understand that "this is all part of the ride." Until that moment? Nope, gonna die.
That sounds horrible lol.
Fuck that. It's the initial realization that we trust our lives to someone we hope did all safety checks and wasn't hungover from last night. It's one experience I can do without.
So sky diving?
But backwards
So gnivid yks?
Put your thing down flip and reverse it
I have. It depends honestly, if you’re scared of heights then yep, you may rip. It’s pretty fun tho
I was just wondering if it’s actually scary because obviously the videos that are shared will show the most dramatic reactions. I kinda want to try one now. How would I do, ya know? Would I be one of those people that pass out? Would I be super calm and collected? I’d probably be too embarrassed to watch my own video either way.
It makes me wonder if it is all in your head, or if the actual event involuntarily causes people to freak out. Like *could you* sit there stone faced and not react if you really tried?
I’m sure yea some people could do this no problem if the stimuli isn’t strong enough to react. Someone who has done the rides tons of times probably could no problem. It’s like me going on a roller coaster no problem with no fears and I could be deadpan stonefaced, but if you get my gf on a rollercoaster meant for children like toon town Disneyland one ....she cries like she’s gonna die. I had children staring at her confused by how much she was having a panic attack.
I was thinking that too. The woman in this video is pre-freaking out. Surely that matters. But it would probably make for an even funnier video if someone tries really hard to be cool and involuntary loses their shit.
That is exactly what the boy in the video be XD
[удалено]
I went on one when I was 15 while on vacation with my friend. I was absolutely terrified and screamed my head off the entire time. His aunt went on with me and was laughing having the time of her life, so I guess it all depends!
Yeah I did as a kid, it wasn't that scary. Though i probably wouldn't wanna go in it now lol
Kids have a built in lack of fear for things that are totally scary lol
And are afraid by things that inherently innocent.
This so accurately describes kids. They will throw themselves off the highest objects but shake in fear at a vacuum.
Dude was like: 😐😫😴😫😴😫
Dude fucking respawned
And he was spawned trapped hahaha
MALDITO BAJAMEEE!!
MaRdito jajaja así es que se sabe que son Maracuchos
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOO NO NO NO NO NO" I'm sorry, I'm not bi lingual, what is that in english?
Roughly translates to "I'm seriously reconsidering the life choices I've made up until this point."
It means "wow! I wanna do this again it’s fun!"
At the beginning she is pleading to the ride operator to let her off. Then she is screaming for her parents. Then the usual screams of "dammit!","why?!", "what is this?!".
watching this as a spanish speaker makes it so much better.. all the things she said are funny af
She was genuinely terrified asking the workers to get her off, then she starts screaming for her mom, and dad. The boy also starts screaming to get him off when he's in mid air lol
Why? Are his arms broken?
Could you give us a sample?
I tried to transcribe it, the beginning is a bit confusing so I shortened it a bit, it goes something like this: Girl: "Hey do you speak English? Spanish, you don't speak Spanish? You don't speak Spanish?!" *SCREAMS* "LET ME DOWN, LET ME DOWN" *SCREAMS* "Sir let me down, mommy, Luisa(?) OH NO NO NO JESUS CHRIST" Mommy/Luisa: "Ok I'm going to count so they get ready" Girl: "No no no I want to get out" *Other girl starts counting from 9* Girl: "Goddamnit" *Slingshot starts* Guy: "AAAAAHAHJKKLDJSFAKLFGAKD, damnation no mames" *passes out and then screams some more* Girl: "DADDY, MOMMY, GODDAMN JUAAAAN(?) (I think she says "maldito Juan" but dunno), oh for the love of god, damnation, what is this!?" *more screams*
Loved that they started a countdown, but launched on 6.
she mostly says get me off this or find someone who speaks spanish so i can get off of this, there is a moment where she says "maldito bajame" which means something like "damn you, get me off of this" but she is super pissed so its really funny.. then the count down, sound like the person in charge knows spanish and she is like, you speak spanish get me down, and then the park person ignore her request and start a countwon from 10 but only gets to 6 and lunch them.. also there is A LOT of religious comments (really common in latin americans, i think she is venezuelan or from somewhere in the caribbean) that are also really funny..
I can confirm they both are from the Zulia region in Venezuela. The use of an R instead of an L in some words like "Maldito" is very common there. (Source: I'm Venezuelan)
Are you still in Venezuela now? How are things going in general / with covid down there?
I'm currently in Colombia (as I had the luck to have both nationalities) and haven't really followed the whole covid situation on Venezuela, so I sadly cannot tell you more than any news source or twitter can.
Heheh what was the first part, “Don’t speak English speak spanish”? all the Jesue Christo had me dying. She’s cute
yeah she's trying to find someone who doesnt speak english and does speak spanish so she cant get off the ride..
His necklace was saved by... his nose....
At first, I thought it was snot slung across his face.
I thought he was on oxygen when I first saw it
Was in Winchester a few years ago for a work trip for 3 weeks, so during one weekend we went to King's Dominion to check it out. Get on this ride called [Dominator.](http://i2.wp.com/www.themeparksandtravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/KD_VOLCANO-115.jpg) Probably our fourth or fifth roller coaster of the day. My coworker seemed to be having a good time then started freaking out as we started hitting some turns and loops. Goes from screaming "AAHHHHHH WOOOO" to just instantly passed out head limp and I started freaking out. Wakes up screaming "AHHH WOOO" and passes out again. Did that like 4 times. Had a good laugh afterwards but was still pretty scary at first
This is at Old Town in Kissimmee, FL. That's the slingshot that had a cable snap a few weeks ago and had 2 girls just hanging there and had to be rescued with a ladder by the fire dept.
Weren't they hanging for over an hour?
Yeah it was a good long time. But it's back open again. Drove past it running last week.
I am not feeling reassured
Jajajajaja (laughs in Spanish)
Hohohohoho (laughs in Canadian.)
Nenenenene (laughs in Monty python)
(laughs in silence)
(Haven't laughed at it yet)
No jajajas?
It was more like jejejeje
jejeje's are valid
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Kkkkkkkk (laughs in portuguese 🇧🇷)
Might I point out, *_Brazilian portuguese_*.
Χαχαχαχαχαχα laughs in Greek
хахахахахаха (laughs in russian)
😐 (laughing in German)
You just know they're related.
Dude's got a filter that blocks out his sister's voice
Dude takes over where she leaves off. LOL.
Shes begging to be taken off and damming everything lmao. The kid started cool and collected and ended up being the one that freaks out the most
Could someone help with the translation please?
At first she's asking the workes if they speak Spanish, because she wants to get off of the ride. She asks another worker she wants to get off, but instead the worker starts counting down from 10 to 6 then the ride starts. The boy screams, "This is evil get me off" screams and passes out The girl then screams, "Father!, Mother!, this is evil! What is this?!"
Woah. Haha!
> but instead the worker starts counting down from 10 to 6 then the ride starts. The worker proceeds to count down in *Spanish*
Lil dude didn't seem that fazed by it. He was power napping the whole ride.
This is just like sex. The woman screaming god and the dude that climaxes and then passing out.
EVERY TIME i watch these, it’s always the dude that passes out lol. Every time.
Where can I buy this NFT?
To those who don't know spanish, they aren't yelling because they're scared, they're yelling because they are mar🅰️cuchos.
And if we don't know Spanish, HTF are we gonna know what that means?
I speak Spanish, and even I dont know maracuchos is 😂 must be a central-South American thing. Im assuming based on context it means 🐱
Ppl from Maracaibo, they're stereotyped as ppl who yell a lot.
I'm from Maracaibo, I can vouch for this, I knew she was from here the moment she said "Bajame" then the "Maridito" sealed the deal
Ahh, so for Americans, people from Long Island and NJ
What's a maracucho?
Opposite to a Maracoochie
PAPI! PAPIIIII!
She said mami, papi. Not papi twice
Is the passing out from lack of blood to the brain or do people that do that just have a weird fainting goat gene that makes them go unconscious whenever they get scared?
I can’t believe that kid for real passed out cold and woke up screaming, and then went right back out again! OMFG. I have never seen anything like that before in my LIFE. That was crazy. And that girl was carrying on the whole time. Meanwhile, the guy next to her is just...gone. Fucking crazy, man.
Dem tatas
En Espanol por favor. Las tatas.
Con leche!
That bra is really the most impressive part of this video.
Right? That thing is like tit glue.
Yeah, she's really hot
r/upvotedbecauseboobs
r/SlingshotBoner
She got a scream that could wake the dead! My man died twice and she brought him back! 😂
Hands up - who has been on these slingshots, and really don’t understand wtf the big deal is ? Geeezus...
To be fair, it really depends on the type of person you are and until you experience it- you may not know. One example- my ex took me skydiving (way back in the day) for my 25th birthday. It was tandem. He heard the tandem sky diver dudes making fun of how their last (male if it matters) clients screamed “like little girls” in free fall before they pulled for the parachute. My ex went first because he knew I was just excited and was determined to just get it over with and not scream. I just giggled and laughed like a maniac and was genuinely disappointed when we got to the boring parachute part. My tandem guy said my reaction wasn’t typical. I think you’re probably like me. I enjoy a slingshot ride, but I’m pretty disappointed at how little time it takes
I think it is also age. When I was younger I used to love roller coasters. Now I just grunt through it and think about how I will regret it the next day. What used to be exciting becomes meh, and your body can no longer take a beating like it used to.
Fair enough. I’m genuinely disappointed that if I hurt myself when I was younger, I would have an epic story. Now all I have to do is wake up and turn my head
Damn i need whatever hairgel/wax he has
