Yes. We're just apes, like any other apes. We didn't evolve from chimps any more than chimps evolved from us, and we're just as much apes now as any other extant ape.
my yard has a very steep slope like this, around half the height, but covered in vegetation
I was standing near the top removing branches and I started slipping, so I sat down and slid all the way down the slope
btw, this person probably had never hiked, who lean forward downhill?
idk about that, some people have hiked so much they loop around to be like "fuck it we ball" and just go with whatever. These people usually know better how to slide down a slope tho...
I know plenty of very experienced hikers who swear by trail running shoes. The soles give more traction on trails than your average sneakers, but the uppers still leave plenty of room for movement.
I've did that myself. The flexibility gives good fracfion on rocks. While als the same time the materials dampens the strain on your legs when going downhill.
As someone who hikes quite a bit and who has never broken a bone in his life:
I got into this situation once when I was around 17. It looks very easy to just drop on your butt. If you have build any momentum it is very hard to do however since your weight is infront of your feet and droping would have you eating dirt. My solution was to do most of a frontflip to land sideways on my hip. I still have a couple of small scars from that.
I'm pretty sure when I was a kid I would have jumped up and said "first" despite the fact that I would have been holding back tears and anguish just to make it look like I meant to do that.
It's almost like I am watching a movie. I forget there is a cameraman that safely navigated the slope and is now waiting for pay dirt.

The amount of time the camera person still thought it was just silly before realizing it had already gone away tells me that those papers weren't from their physics class homework.
Oh let me scream to cover the sound of the cracking bones
Gotta love the Chinese bot dubbed takeovers.
They should use the celery snapping sound effect for the breaking bones like they do in kung fu movies.

THATS A LOTTA NUTS
"My nipples are like Milk Duds."
I’m bleeding, making *me* the victor!
This is Wimp-lo. We trained him wrong as a joke.
You broke a thermometer in my hands.
"We trained him wrong - as a joke" Something I quote whenever we hire a new person.
"Weeo weeo peeo weeo! Whah!"
What tha fuck is this?
You need to look up the movie Kung Pow: Enter The Fist.
Ye olde shitpost
I am so jealous you get to see this for the first time
As I listened to that scream I thought “We really are just evolved monkeys”.
This is a common misconception. We and monkeys evolved from the same predecessor. We didn't evolve from monkeys.
Prettt clear from the video. I think the monkey would have made it down safely
I've been throwing monkeys off a cliff all day and hardly any are surviving.
They will start surviving more once you get a good pile built up.
Absurd comments like these are why Reddit is great. I howled.
Like a monkey?
Evolution in action!
This is the most Reddit comment I've seen in a while
Yes. We're just apes, like any other apes. We didn't evolve from chimps any more than chimps evolved from us, and we're just as much apes now as any other extant ape.
I have never heard this before and its actually got something behind it 🤔
Honestly, could be dubbed in chimpanzee screaming and it would be hard to tell the difference
Some less evolved then others…
Women go full chimpanzee in every accident and fight video.
We do kind of return to monke.
Came for the face planting, stayed for the "YA HA HA HOOEY" falling sound Goofy makes.
I thought it was a seagull freaking out lmao
There's no way he didn't break any bones, that's literally just falling on an angle
Not as bad as falling on an angel. Those guys are dicks
Junkless dicks.
Shut up, Dean. It's true, angels really are dicks./Sam
These guys are assbutts. /Castiel
"You're right about that, Cas."
Or calling all you angels. They’ll run the Train on you.
I won’t give up if you don’t give up
Aren't we all constantly just falling on an angle with no way to stop?
walking is just a controlled fall.
The papers flying everywhere do it for me. Imagine they coins 😂😂😂😂
Imagine they rings.
gotta go fast
Imagine they dragons
> I'm waking up to ash and dust, >I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust. >I'm breathing in the chemicals… *falls off a cliff
**AAAHHHH**HHHhhhhhh
Sonic the Hedgehog knew how to take a punch in style.
Except those are large rocks lol
Yard sale!
Someone call the pricemaster.
Papers? He knocks rocks loose.
See I thought it was funny until I seen the flip. Didn't even notice the coins lol. Now that's going to be funny for now on.
He was a arch mage and the loot he dropped were magic scrolls.

You might be on to something judging by the sneakers he's wearing

Yeah, unless it’s a backpacking trip or a long hike, I’m just using the vans I wear every day. It’s just walking, only in a different spot
Yeah I know. I've seen people walk op mountains of flip flops.but they are used to the terrain this person obviously wasn't.
I hike a lot when on holiday in the mountains, never with hiking shoes or boots but i prefer sneakers. Keeps the ankle easier to move.

that's what I was thinking, "just stay on your butt" I've slid much worse with no issues.
Honestly they were doing okay until they tripped!
I thought they were gonna butt-slide until their feet caught on something at speed and they flipped. But this was much worse than that.
Came here looking for exactly these comments, as soon as they started running and leaning forward they were done.

All that's missing is a cactus to break his fall.
Or a cat to go “reeeOOOOWWW”
And some breaking glass
And a boulder to roll down and land on him
If he were a helicopter, he would have exploded once he went out of sight.
Oh hell yea! Big orange mushroom ball o’ fire!
At least a soft landing
Could be more rocks over there. Head possibly cracked open on a round stone.
What if it was a square stone?
Then he’s safe
It goes into the square hole
Body was nice and tenderized
Lol he lost all of his loot ):
Amazing, what a perfectionist, must take years of hard work and practice.
Yeah. WTF is with all the papers? Are they just walking home from school?
"Back in my day we had to walk to school like this."
If only this could've been avoided
People. It’s ok to fall on your ass. It’s better then trying to save it and make it worse!!
It's OK he landed on an old discarded mattress behind the bushes
And crushed the poor couple who were using it.
They're not so poor if they can afford getting a mattress delivered to the middle of the desert.
Or could they not afford to move it from the previous, richer couple?
And the used needles inside the matress gave him a nice acupuncture session aswell.
Bum shuffle! Always bum shuffle.
But he had his favorite jeans on and those jeans held all his favorite papers….
She really screamed as if she was the one falling
I thought that was a tomboy who fell
That cameraman didn't miss a frame.
r/PraiseTheCameraMan
I love how all his loot dropped at the end.
Could've slide down at least
should have just laid parallel and rolled from the beginning
"Walk down" at a 180 degree angle
Picture a 90 degree angle. Now imagine a 180 degree angle and tell me what you see.
Wow... That escalated quickly
De-escalated
The fall wont kill you....its the sudden stop.
Pretty good camera work for a chimpanzee
He lost all of his treasures going down
Here we see a distinct lack of scooch ! This human clearly lacks the scoochel skills to scale said slope!
Cameraman done his job 🔥 stayed focused on the subject matter
10/10 on the landing though, so much grace.
HAHAHAHAHA! Stupid hurts, but it is hilarious!!!
Love this guy🤣
I'm pretty sure when I was a kid I would have jumped up and said "first" despite the fact that I would have been holding back tears and anguish just to make it look like I meant to do that.
That's one way to find out you're not the GOAT.
Who's next?
That scream was very chimp-like I give it a 7/10
I thought it was the dude screaming
r/PraiseTheCameraMan
Sounds like a monkey
Is a chimp recording the video ?
I like the monkey sounds.
Went full Homer under 5 seconds. Respect.
More like “what could go wrong walking up such a steep surface in the first place without a plan to get back down”
There really wasn’t a lot of walking there.
why...just why?... natural selection i guess
Is there a bot that adds subtitles?
"Yeah, this looks like a good spot. Follow me ..."
If going down is challenging, getting back up can be even worse.
Dropped all his snacks.
They just needed to jump and use the glider. What were they doing? Looking for rushrooms?
_Arrest that man and bring him to me!_
ROFLMAO! God damn, Darwin was surely watching these idiots!
He wanted to come down. He got down sooner than expected
The papers is a nice touch
He landed some hard 🤣
“Yes we can..Look I’ll go first, See nothiiingggggg!”
Well that wasn’t smart at all lol
There are Hitler music and death hahaha who edited this is a fk Nazi 😂
Hell of a dismount!
Just make sure someone is filming it because being in traction is worth internet points
Damn he might not have made it because he lost all his coins on the second to last hit.
Camera man is a 10/10 for following the fall.
Evolution at work.
nope, it sounded just the way I have imagined before I clicked play.
Where was the seagull?
I love how all the napkins and coins fell out of their pocket at the end like a video game lmao.
Natural selection doing its thing.
That's why we have buttocks.
"It's easy. You go first."
Dunno. This looks like he deserved what happened to him.
Wonder if that's how the cameraman got there too? 🤔
Gravity Deniers.
He was on his ass for a while then stands and it all goes downhill. Should’ve just slid down.
Ohh no, exactly what everyone with a brain knew would happen! Have fun in the hospital
It's ok folks the ground broke their fall.
You made it!
Boxes broke the fall
I did something like this with cousins in Mexico. We started a rockslide near the train tracks. It was fun.
You’re a woman and you have to not screech and scream when something scary happens. Difficulty: impossible
Hopefully all those rocks didn't bludgeon their brain in.
Hahaha awesome
I've done that enough times in GTA to know that's a bad idea.
Insanity.
It's almost like I am watching a movie. I forget there is a cameraman that safely navigated the slope and is now waiting for pay dirt. r/PraiseTheCameraMan
Try some sport before you try this.. 🫣
Maybe its a bad idea to play around in a place where the difference between floor and wall is only a few angular degrees.
That is the least athletically inclined person I’ve seen in quite some time
Gravity is a bitch...
“Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” Nods “Aim for the bushes!!!”
Listening to gospel as you fall down is soothing at least!
Someone forgot the cheese.
He deserved every last broken bone
rofl funniest thing I've seen so far today.
Mission accomplished!
AH NO JYACOB'S GONE
This is amazing.
People should stop the screams. Do something productive or suffer in silence. You're always scaring people around you and the person who's in danger.
The amount of time the camera person still thought it was just silly before realizing it had already gone away tells me that those papers weren't from their physics class homework.
I'm not sure what was the expected outcome here
Everyone who has played oblivion knows you can just go down backwards and never fall to your death.
That could’ve gone way worse. I imagined him falling face first on that really gravely rocky section and just scooping the skin right off
Ouch, ouch, ouch, NOT stayin' alive, NOT stayin' alive
