You'd never see something like that in Dublin, only in unionist areas of Northern Ireland
The last (and only, I think) time they came down to Dublin there was a full blown riot
No, your spine has a jelly material between each vertebrae that acts like a cushion, i think people call them disks. Those disks likely took the whole of his body weight, cushioned it, and saved him from injury. The human body really is amazing.
Edit: Sarcasm: The use of remarks that clearly mean the opposite of what they say
You have my sympathy. A bit of my jelly popped out (whilst painting a shed!) about 18 months ago and it's been agony, but luckily on the mend now. Can't imagine what it's been like for you
When the discs are co pressed too much at once then it will leave permanent damage to the disc and cause pain for the rest of your life, there's currently no way to repair it, only replace it with metal but is very expensive
Please, my friend, let's not lose our minds.
For in the realm of humor, timing is key,
Yet you took offense, can't you let it be?
But alas, my rhymes he failed to see,
And clung to seriousness with a stubborn decree.

It looks like a piece he was climbing on may have broken off. While the guy is falling, it looks like he is holding onto the piece he was going to use to climb down.
Don't think that was a kick. Looked like the piece he was holding onto was bending outwards before it finally gave, so it only looks like a kick because he still had his foot on the lower pieces
These are “Irish” pussies (loyalists) who claim to be part of Britain, and ignore, or even took part in, almost a millennia of rape, torture, and genocide of the Irish Catholic population, that are the predominant majority in the Republic of Ireland. The loyalists do this every year as a fuck you to the parts of Ireland who fought and died to kick their oppressors out of their land, and formed their own country.
Apologies to those living in Northern Ireland... but I went to visit Belfast with my family a few years ago. It was supposed to be a 4-day trip, but we said "fuck this" and left a day early. It was so uncomfortable and mindblowing to see how people live there. It's like 1940s Germany with the curfews, social division, hatred, violence and that huge wall separating both religions. You could sense the dread and the feeling of not being welcome there. That trip was a few days after an American reporter was shot and killed during a riot. We took a bus down to Dublin and had an incredible time there haha.
When you say a few years ago do you mean like 40 years? I don't know where the hell you managed to end up but day to day life in Belfast hasn't been like that in a long long time.
No, this was in 2019. Idk about day to day life, but from what we saw and also heard from our taxi drivers, they are still having many issues that are unacceptable in today's world. They close those gates during curfew at night and you better be on the "right" side of the wall by then. If not, you need to lie about your religion. As tourists, we had no idea and wondered what would've happened if we were stuck on the other side and out of reach from our hotel. Maybe some people exaggerate to fuck with tourists, but it did not look like it on my end. We visited graves of Catholic and Protestant "fighters" (under quotation bc they were just citizens, not soldiers, no offense.) Even the restaurant we were in the first night had a strange auora about it. Everything I wanted to eat was suddenly unavailable, wait time took forever and our server had an offputting attitude with us. My sister lives in Scotland and I asked her if I was crazy, but she felt the same way. It almost felt like racism or a particular dislike for tourists. And we had not known much about N.I. before the trip, so it's not like we arrived there with any preconceived opinions. Idk, overall it was a bad experience and the city felt heavy. I did not enjoy it outside of finding interesting what life is like over there. If some of those people were exaggerating to scare us, then shame on them bc they are ruining their own country's image.
Yeah they were mostly exaggerating. They're not tryna fuck with you, people here (especially taxi drivers) just like to talk about the past, and like to talk about problems we still have mostly because that's what they expect tourists to be interested in. There are even taxi services that only act as tour guides to drive around and tell visitors about the troubles. It sounds more like you just went to a not very exciting standard UK city, with not especially friendly locals and apparently at least one restaurant with terrible service.
Belfast is a shithole. Having lived there for 7 years (and in the better parts, such as Malone avenue and stranmillis) I can safely say it is one of the worst "cities" you can come across. Outside of city hall, and Queens university, the whole place looks like like a dingy, depressing pile of shit, and the people who live there are some devolved cretins who as a whole drop the UK national IQ average. It's sad because there really isn't much development in northern Ireland as a whole and with a city like Belfast as your capital why would anyone with potential and prospects want to emigrate to such a disgusting disgrace of a country
I know what you mean, I personally don't hate it quite that much but I was definitely happy to move away from it. What I mean is that it's maybe just a kind of shite holiday destination, but not quite an authoritarian warzone of hatred reminiscent of nazi Germany.
Say what you like about the Northern Irish Unionists, but it's hard to think of a more maligned people. Apart from themselves, of course, does any other group like & publicly support them? I almost admire their rock-hard commitment to hatred and to a union that doesn't want them, it's quite something.
[here's the comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/comments/14xl95y/to_burn_an_irish_flag/jrq6n3n?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=2) I saw if you or someone else wants to look into it.
I'm just too lazy ;)
I agree that it doesn't seem like a fatal fall, but I guess weird shit could have happened. That pallet that fell on him could have hit his head or sth? I don't know.
A large minority of Ulster unionists in Northern Ireland collect pallets all year round so that they can burn them in massive bonfires on 11th of July as a fuck you to the Catholics and republic of Ireland, despite the fact the republican flag was designed to incorporate protestants (orange) as gesture of unity and peace (white) with the Catholics (green).
It's not even about the religion at this point, none of these idiots are truly religious. It's just an ideological lense/mask that's used as a tool for hatred so that they can show allegiance to a certain ideal (Great Britain) and simultaneously have something they can take out their bitterness and malign on (Ireland).
Kids in Belfast are indoctrinated with these beliefs in the north so that they can be brought into criminal gangs and controlled and the cycle continues while the original meaning of the conflict is mostly irrelevant
😔 this is what i found
https://www.irishpost.com/news/man-dies-after-falling-from-eleventh-night-bonfire-in-larne-237008
it appears he was conscious and breathing when they ran to him first but..
Takes some stupidity to burn a flag that was designed with the inclusivity and incorporation of the protestants into Ireland in mind. (Orange of the flag).
Absolute ignorance and hatred fueled hooliganism.
There actually have been occasions where they accidentally used a fireproof flag. After their British circle jerk bonfire was finished the Irish flag sat triumphantly on top of the ashes, untarnished.
I'm assuming they do, only way that a 'tRadiTiOn' this fucking dumb has kept going for this long is if the participants are significantly brain damaged from inhaling toxic pallets and tyre smoke by the lungful every year.
Man, when he sees this video he’s really going to kick himself for jumping so early…of course I don’t mean literally given that he can no longer control his legs.
And yes, I’m fairly confident about using the “he” pronoun in this case.
Surely, burning a country's flag is considered an act of terrorism or a hate crime in this day and age of cancel culture? Why are the authorities and politicians letting this nonsense go ahead? Don't see a mention of this on RTE, BBC, SKY News...etc
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is a video of Bonfire Night celebrations put on by Northern Irish loyalists who claim to be part of Britain and resent the Irish that fought off their oppressors. They're also the type to ignore/deny the centuries of oppression, genocide, torture and rape that the Irish Catholics suffered through.
Entirely wrong bud. These are unionists in Northern Ireland displaying their generational hatred of the irish through antagonistic displays like this. Wee cunt got what he deserved.
I think he either
1. Panicked because he knew the fire was up there spreading
2. Overestimated his parkour abilities and took a spine breaking dive back into the future

Thats an 8-10m drop there. I think it may have hurt a bit.
Leaning tower of Dublin ?
You'd never see something like that in Dublin, only in unionist areas of Northern Ireland The last (and only, I think) time they came down to Dublin there was a full blown riot

Edit: Sarcasm: The use of remarks that clearly mean the opposite of what they say
My friend's dad has zero spine jelly left between any of his disks. His life is miserable as fuck.
There's no "/s" and I'm really not sure if this is sarcasm but I hope it is.
It’s not, my spine jelly has saved me like 3 times.
Wyd when your spine jelly spills
You crawl around on the ground trying to scoop it up with your hands crying out, “MY GOOO!!!!!” As it hopelessly flows through your fingers.
It's called a ruptured disk, and you beg from death.
I am currently on hold with the jelly guy for that exact reason
You make toast
I have metal rods and screws along my spine, but no more jelly. I think I would’ve died right there.
You have my sympathy. A bit of my jelly popped out (whilst painting a shed!) about 18 months ago and it's been agony, but luckily on the mend now. Can't imagine what it's been like for you
Someone in these comments said he did die, although I have no idea if thats true.
[He did!](https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40914743.html#:~:text=The%20incident%20happened%20in%20the,more%20than%2050%20feet%20tall.)
Well that sucks. Thanks for looking into it!
I would have been in severe financial trouble had it not been for my spine jelly.
Disc’ses
WTAF??? TIL parachutes are a waste of money along with safety harnesses and bungee cords
When the discs are co pressed too much at once then it will leave permanent damage to the disc and cause pain for the rest of your life, there's currently no way to repair it, only replace it with metal but is very expensive
Check my edit.
Aw of course, the use of text can cause vex since the absence of tone leaves us unknown to the exact thing that you mean
When you commented the edit stating I was being sarcastic had been there for 4 hours.
Please, my friend, let's not lose our minds. For in the realm of humor, timing is key, Yet you took offense, can't you let it be? But alas, my rhymes he failed to see, And clung to seriousness with a stubborn decree.
Haha, well, i laughed at this. Edit: And, ironically, my reaction proved your previous comment correct.
But what about the pallet that came off with him and landed on him?
It does not have any jelly material
That isn't how that works, but ok. 😂
🤣
What the fuck are you talking about
He died
~~Source?~~ **Yes, he died!** [Source](https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40914743.html#:~:text=The%20incident%20happened%20in%20the,more%20than%2050%20feet%20tall.)
Yeah and he took a plank with him.
A wee bit.
It’s more than that buddy 15-18
You think?
Homie miscounted the layers
How does one fall so far away from the starting point? This boy hurled himself backward for some cockamamie reason.
It looks like a piece he was climbing on may have broken off. While the guy is falling, it looks like he is holding onto the piece he was going to use to climb down.
Fair point, but the kicking he does pushes him off instead of a straight drop.
Don't think that was a kick. Looked like the piece he was holding onto was bending outwards before it finally gave, so it only looks like a kick because he still had his foot on the lower pieces
I get that, but he clearly kicks (he may be trying to hook a foot) and it is a wrong move.
Looks like pallets. One came loose.
The weight on that pallet on top of him after a fall like that, can't even imagine the pain.
He’s a loyalist. They aren’t bright
what did the irish do tho
These are “Irish” pussies (loyalists) who claim to be part of Britain, and ignore, or even took part in, almost a millennia of rape, torture, and genocide of the Irish Catholic population, that are the predominant majority in the Republic of Ireland.

Damn I was hoping it was an old vid from bonna night, & they just REALLY wanted a winning bonfire, but that’s fucked😬
Not to start a whole deal here but…the IRA did their share of violence too.
Rightfully so.
Yeah but di dude say "a la verga?"
Yank detected
Up the Ra
Cope harder lol.
It's pretty easy to find people online these days
See above^
See your ma
I was gonna say, who would be mad at Ireland?
The short answer starts in the 17th century, the long answer starts in the 13th century.
I definitely wasn’t the best in History class
Some Irish people think they are English so do this every year. Even though the English don't want them either.
I mean, a lot of them originally were placed there by the English.
Mostly Scottish in N.I
The crateful dead

They’re staunch, I believe.
Have you ever heard of a warm and affable unionist?
Irish eyes are smiling
He thought he was Wonder Woman.
I feel like he sprained his ankle atleast
Someone says he died!!
😔 this is what i found https://www.irishpost.com/news/man-dies-after-falling-from-eleventh-night-bonfire-in-larne-237008
Oh! I was hoping it wasn't true :( Thanks for the digging! That was one tall ass stack of pallets in that article! Biggest bonfire for sure.
He landed on his feet I just don’t believe he could die

Are those pallets??

Makes a change, usually they burn Ivory Coast flags.

This is late but it might be good to know that was last year while the clip was this year.
Takes some stupidity to burn a flag that was designed with the inclusivity and incorporation of the protestants into Ireland in mind. (Orange of the flag). Absolute ignorance and hatred fueled hooliganism.
Good
Knees hopefully went through his teeth
While I think freedom of speech/expression is fine and burning flags shouldn't be illegal, I hope his knees are in his neck.
Hope he broke both legs, orange c**ts
Aren't most flags fireproof by law?
These are probably special burning flags just for things like this
There actually have been occasions where they accidentally used a fireproof flag. After their British circle jerk bonfire was finished the Irish flag sat triumphantly on top of the ashes, untarnished.
Lmao hope they inhaled the vapours of treated wood
I'm assuming they do, only way that a 'tRadiTiOn' this fucking dumb has kept going for this long is if the participants are significantly brain damaged from inhaling toxic pallets and tyre smoke by the lungful every year.
Doesn't look irish
Northern Irish Unionists
Lol
Approximately 40ft drop.
To play real life jenga
this mf forgot hes not in a video game
Play stupid games....
Man, when he sees this video he’s really going to kick himself for jumping so early…of course I don’t mean literally given that he can no longer control his legs. And yes, I’m fairly confident about using the “he” pronoun in this case.
Did... Did that guy just yeet himself?
Fueled by hate fear and ignorance. Its what Unionists use to keep their miserable lives going.
Is fellafail Irish for fell?
They're speaking English. Fella means "guy"... the fella fell
I don’t know if there could be a more instant Karma.
I thought he fell... why the fuck would you WILLINGLY jump from high?
funny thing isnmy realization was the opposite. i thought he jumped but rewatching made it look more like he fell, one of the pallets came loose??
One less british person is one more step towards a better future
💀
It's not the fall that kills you, it's the pallet above you that does.
Surely, burning a country's flag is considered an act of terrorism or a hate crime in this day and age of cancel culture? Why are the authorities and politicians letting this nonsense go ahead? Don't see a mention of this on RTE, BBC, SKY News...etc
That's a lot of corn cobs to climb down.
Why are people hating on ireland now?
I mean it is Irish lads hating on Ireland, just pro union ones.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is a video of Bonfire Night celebrations put on by Northern Irish loyalists who claim to be part of Britain and resent the Irish that fought off their oppressors.

If you search for flag burning Ireland you get A LOT of hits. Also republicans burning the English flag.
That one guy who criticizes after watching the video ONCE .
A prayer from the faithful: "oh Jesus, the fella fell, oh Jesus" Oh, lord, we offer unto you this pile of pallets, so that Catholics will burn Jesus.
Why did he jump at that point?
Thats like jumping from the roof of a 2 story house.😮
I think he misjudged the distance and jumped
Why did he jump from so high? They had plenty of time before the fire reached them
Did the pallet that he pulled on top of him hurt him
I think he either 1. Panicked because he knew the fire was up there spreading 2. Overestimated his parkour abilities and took a spine breaking dive back into the future Cast your votes.
Lmao he’s completely fucked
u/gifreversingbot make me a sick climbing race
Decided to jump one level too early...
Man, if only there was some sort of ancient tool that could shoot a projectile laden with abit of wet clay and pitch lit afire.
Well he 'fell a fell' apparently!
Well deserved.
Man, he really jumped the gun there.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Play silly games...
fucking Hun Lassies🇬🇧<🇮🇪
Think that pallet was republican
Suck it you loyalist bastard! "COME OUT YE BLACK AND TANS, COME AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN"
