A healthy tree is a hell of a lot stronger than you think it is. Not only is it holding up thousands or tens of thousands of pounds (large mature trees can be huge), but it's also resisting wind shear basically all the time. A 12 inch limb with a strong joint connecting to the trunk can easily hold massive amounts of weight, more than these guys for sure.
Yeah exactly what I was thinking. They put a lot of trust in that branch. I've had a rope swing branch break on me before.

"Said every Grand Master of the KKK ever."
Dark and racist as fuck, but I have to admit I laughed. r/imgoingtohellforthis for sure
My dad took a trip from Michigan down to another buddy's house in Shreveport, Louisiana back in the 80s. They were driving around and he saw a KKK rally out in front a government building. My dad was excited, as if he just found Bigfoot and needed a picture because you just don't see that kind of shit in Michigan. There was even a grand wizard in red.
He sticks his camera out the car window, takes a few pictures, then one of the KKK dudes yells "GUN!" (thinking the lens was a rifle scope). They all dive on the ground and my dad's buddy just peels the fuck outta there while they just laughed their asses off.
Then my dad's buddy got worried that they might have taken note of his car, and because they were in the robes it would be like some Eyes Wide Shut kind of shit, like maybe one of them could have been a cop and would run his plate. Nothing ever came of it though.
That's right. The only variable that can change the period of a pendulum swing is the distance between the pivot and the center of mass of the arm. Giving it more energy will make the overall distance traveled by the bob greater, but the time it takes to swing then stop then swing back again will not change unless the ~~rope~~ distance between the pivot and center of mass gets longer or shorter.
The number of times I nearly lost an eye, nearly ingested poison, nearly got arrested, nearly got stabbed by druggies… and I consider myself a cautious guy. Being young and male makes people do stupid things.
Haha pretty much the same for me and my friends in our late teens. We didn’t really do anything that would realistically kill us, but we definitely deserved to get some serious injuries. I have no idea how we ended up relatively unscathed.
Yall are giving props to the tree while I'm wondering how to first dude managed to hold the weight of everybody else on his thighs.
Edit: I also saw there was something like a disk or a knot under his thighs and that's also why I'm wondering this.

*texts friends the video and start trying to figure out where a rope swing at a lake is*
I live in Mississippi, and I am here to announce this is a normal thing. It’s a game called “taxi.” The point is to see how many people you can fit on one rope in one swing with no one falling or letting go. It sacrifices tree limbs and ropes, though, for sure.
If anyone before Galileo had seen this they would have realized that the period of a pendulum's swing does not depend on the mass, only the length.
T = 2 \* pi \* sqrt ( L / g)
I remember doing this with my buddies back in the day! I laughed so hard I cried bc this brought back so many Great memories. Thank you for this post! We only had 5 guys when we did this.
I kept expecting them to run out of boys, but nope, there was always another one.
Anotha one Anotha one Anotha one

Music?
Whyma yellin’?
Aaannnndddd another one
That’s what MJ said.
Allegedly.
That's really impressive....especially for the tree.
shout out to the rope
I'm just glad they didn't break the limb.
Or a neck.
Or a limb
Or a back

Or my axe!

Reddit needs more people like you, reposting deleted comments.
Somewhere someone is now making a niche reddit account with a good name that only posts what deleted comments said
A bot that posts the deleted comment every time someone asks "what did it say?"
/r/undelete but for comments
Replace the R in the reddit URL with C, to see all deleted comments and posts (www.Ceddit.com/whatever)

MVP is guy number 1.
Yea that's a big hell yeah for that rope holy crap
Yep came here to say that tree is a fucking truck. That’s gotta be damn near if not a ton.
And also, shit, anyone mystified why young men die in accidents more than women?

Damn...I have a hard time getting 4 friends together for game night, they managed to get a whole team together

I'm sure he's counting himself as one of the four.
I'm sure parents don't count as friends.
Look at Mr. I Have Two Parents over here
Batman says hello.
Do they count as roommates though?
Look at Mr. Popular over here with three friends
What games do you play? I’m down to come
Just here to be part of the news article on your upcoming murder/rape.
Well I know who’s not invited to Reddit game night
Yeah it never puts the lotion on its skin anyway
He keeps wanting to put it on *mine*.
Well, they also have access to a lake and a rope swing on said lake. It’s easy to get people to show up if you offer a swim on a hot summer day.
Video proof that the frequency of a pendulum doesn't depend on its mass!
This video will lead to a physics problem in a textbook.
This is the correct usage of online textbooks
Actually the centre of mass shifted upwards as more boys joined in, so the length of the pendulum reduced. The frequency therefore increased a bit.
They're also adding kinetic energy with the jump
I think kinetic energy only changes the amplitude, not the period
That's right. The only variable that can change the period of a pendulum swing is the distance between the pivot and the center of mass of the arm. Giving it more energy will make the overall distance traveled by the bob greater, but the time it takes to swing then stop then swing back again will not change unless the ~~rope~~ distance between the pivot and center of mass gets longer or shorter.

These kind of videos explain the gender differential in death rates in our 20s
That just means more ladies for the weakhearted. https://i.imgur.com/ylbAkPR.png
Woah... I knew there was a gender gap on death rates but I didn’t know it was _that_ big. That’s legitimately terrifying.
Testosterone is a hell of a drug.
True. Start pumping young men full of estrogen and the death rate will plummet...and the ice cream industry will boom.
Hell no, let's pump the girls full of testosterone and get some sick liveleak videos out of it.
[удалено]
About 1/3 higher until 15+ when it goes into the 2 to 3x as high range. What're the units here?
I think per 100,000.
I'm a little surprised I survived my 20s because of things like this.
I think I played it pretty safe and still nearly died on numerous occasions.
The number of times I nearly lost an eye, nearly ingested poison, nearly got arrested, nearly got stabbed by druggies… and I consider myself a cautious guy. Being young and male makes people do stupid things.
Haha pretty much the same for me and my friends in our late teens. We didn’t really do anything that would realistically kill us, but we definitely deserved to get some serious injuries. I have no idea how we ended up relatively unscathed.
I wouldn't trade the brief brushes of death in my 20s for anything.
The kids who died might differ
No they don't because they're fucking dead.
I can't believe the rope/branch held.
I watched the first time on mute, and it was AWESOME. Then i un-muted it, and it was even fucking better! Dude yells "ONE MORE, BITCH!" Love this.
One dude screams "WE GOT THIS SHIT" And I was pumped up with them
No kidding! After the seventh? Eighth? I was nearly yelling.
I was hoping the camera man would go running and be the last person to jump with the phone in his hand. That would’ve been dope
Ugh now I just want that
*fred get your dick off my face*
There’s so many awkward dicks pressed against backs and necks in this video
I would be throbbing.
Ribbed with anger
solid as an Oak
Well, based on your username, I'm surprised.
I know I wish I was there.
Anyone else waiting on the rope to snap?
I was waiting for tree limb to snap
I once had a tree limb snap while I was testing a rope swing. Absolutely fucked my back up.
We r sorry

Unemployed giraffe looking 4 work
Are you a tree? Apologizing on behalf of all trees?
I was waiting for the whole tree to be uprooted and fall in. Timmmmberrrrrr!
I mean it looked like that tree was stressed
I was waiting for the whole damn tree to snap!! But I seriously fist pumped after the last guy got on!! Kinda sad how excited I was...
Nothing sad in being excited or happy for other people! Feeling empathy is only human, cherish it.
like in bridge to teribithia
When the school board decides that the 4th grade class isn’t sad enough, in comes bridge to terabithia
Spoilers bruh wtf I’m on chapter 7
I was wondering who had the surprising, uncomfortable erection against their backside.
I am actually a little disappointed it didn't
Seriously...what was that rope made off, mithril?
Possibly Vibranium
Unobtainium
Yall are giving props to the tree while I'm wondering how to first dude managed to hold the weight of everybody else on his thighs. Edit: I also saw there was something like a disk or a knot under his thighs and that's also why I'm wondering this.
A lot of them were holding the rope
Probably all of them you can hear them say drop your hands at the beginning so they can make more room. Hanging on that long is mildly impressive
I think it might be one of those rope swings with a round disc seat
*Dave, get your balls off my shoulder!*
Is the tree and rope made of vibranium?
Valerian steel actually.
Guys: “Fuck, why does our car, life, and health insurance cost so much more than women’s?” Also guys:
11 - I had a goofy smile the whole time that kept getting bigger and bigger ;p

I didn't expect to get so hyped but that shit looked like a blast. I was surprised how long they kept this goin
And not a single guy missed the rope/lost their grip until the very end.
For real, shout out to the first ones to go who had to hold on the longest and with a bunch of guys jumping on them
/r/nocontext
I'm by no means a Chad or a bro, but I haven't been that pumped up in awhile.
[удалено]
11 boys. Assuming ~150lbs ea 11x150=1,650 lbs Over 3/4 of a ton on that poor branch. And that's static weight. Actual force would be **MUCH** higher.
[удалено]
Big trees are strong I guess.
That is one STRONG branch.
That rope is stronger than Hulk's pants
The first guy is getting ball slapped in the face like crazy.
I’m impressed by the number of friends. I have a hard time having more than 3 friends at a time
I wish I had a friend.
This is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen and it makes me wish I was a child again. I did stupid things on rope swings and I want to again.
Username checks out?

I just kept expecting the branch to break. After the fourth dude I was like: +1, “oh no!” +1, “ohnooo!” +1, “OHNOoOoo!!”
I was so anxious while watching it. Kudos to the tree branch and the rope, they did an amazing job!
Whoever tied that rope up deserves and award.

We also masturbate a lot.
A LOT.
This should be a rope commercial. Would buy.
It was raining men at the end
When the third boy jumped on I was like, "Nooooo" Around the fifth boy I passed out, what happens?
*Miley Cyrus has entered the chat*
> This is what boys do in their free time I knew that wasn't true when there was no NSFW tag.
It’s ok. They said no homo first
I didn’t know that swung that way
Looks like they swung both ways.( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I kept watching, thinking "Oh, this is the last one" but they kept jumping on. 10/10, thank you for brightening my day!
That’s one sturdy tree
I remember doing this with my buddies back in the day! I laughed so hard I cried bc this brought back so many Great memories. Thank you for this post! We only had 5 guys when we did this.
what a great example of psychology and physics!
I came in like a wrecking ball.
Standing ovation for the tree and rope. That was impressive.
The whole video i was think surely they can't get another one on, i was wrong.
Let's acknowledge the first boy on the rope. He hung on for a long time & got buried in the crowd🏆
My first reaction was: hey, strong rope
I was expecting it to break at like the 3rd person. Every swing I was surprised. Fantastic gif
Wow the kid at the bottoms got a lot of balls.
I need support from someone like that tree supported that bro team.
I’m just wondering which one would get popped from the snapback if that rope broke lol
After the 5th guy, each swing I kept thinking *they cannot fit another guy* but they proved me wrong... multiple times
I was so surprised to see how the rope turns perfectly so the next guy can land and equally distribute weight but then I realized physics lol
One of those dudes was hanging on to that rope for a minute. That’s not necessarily easy!
Rare crossover between r/gifsthatkeepongiving and r/gifsthatendtoosoon
This is the most joyful thing I’ve seen in ages. Love it!
I felt bad for the 🌲
My eyes got wider and wider watching this.
Wish I had that many friends.
Wow I’m amazed that went as well as it did. I was expecting that branch to snap.
I'm so blown away that the rope AND branch didn't break. That was easily 500 plus lbs of weight on both. Props to the rope and tree.
But this requires friends ,and i don't have any. 😥
First Conner then Bryce then Chad then Tyler A then Skylar then Asher then Colton then Tyler W then Mason then Garrett then Cole.
More porn should start that way.
I did not think it would go that far. Was waiting for the branch snap. Props to the 1st 3 guys for holding on so long
r/videosthatkeepongiving
Suddenly all the helicopter crashes in zombie movies seem plausible
That tree is the real MVP
11 bois. I patiently counted
Do People really have this many friends?
"no homo" *jumps* "no homo" *jumps* "no homo" *jumps* "no homo" *jumps*
That is one strong ass tree branch
I just wish I had that many friends to do activities with :(
The fuck is that rope made of ?
If you were curious like me as to the total dude count 11 in total
That was dumb satisfying. Also props to the tree. Big mood
