Can somebody please explain what happened there?

[–]chip812 26 points27 points ago

I think he's slashing the tire. Just one problem... those truck tires are under tremendous pressure...

[–]Sasken 6 points7 points ago

Thanks. I never really thought too much about it, figured that truck tires ran about the same pressure as car tires (like 30 PSI or so). But it makes sense that they'd be higher considering how much more weight they have to carry.

[–]chip812 14 points15 points ago

Between 90-120 psi is about average. (If I remember correctly - it's been a long time since I lived next door to a over-the-road truck driver)...

[–]EncasedShadow 18 points19 points ago

I lived next to an under-the-road truck driver for a while. He was a prince of the Mole People and once let me wear his crown.

[–]_XxDerpyHoovesxX_ 3 points4 points ago

He also broke some serious shit.

[–]ride4daze 0 points1 point ago

Thanks, after looking again I do see something in his hand.

[–]Kaos117 15 points16 points ago

His head hits the edge of the stairs so fucking hard...

Thank you Doctor. We will hold out hope.

[–]roscius 1 point2 points ago

Your grammar leads me to believe you have suffered a similar calamity.

[–]surrealasm_atwork 38 points39 points ago

Instant karma is the best karma.

[–]ride4daze 0 points1 point ago

Perfect instant karma is if he landed on his own knife

[–]nitefang 11 points12 points ago

Just FYI to anyone worried about the link, it is not that bad. Shows the video this gif is from, it actually is slightly nicer than the gif as it shows the man getting up afterward (so he lived obviously). There is a bit of blood on the ground after he gets up, but it looks like it is from his arm, which has a pretty serious gash on it, thought it is hard to see.

In my opinion, not NSFL, you have to have an insanely weak stomach to find it disturbing.

[–]NotADamsel 2 points3 points ago

Still, it's better to have it tagged then not.

[–]hurderpderp 4 points5 points ago

Guy left a little blood

[–]Lolkingfred 3 points4 points ago

NSFL? Can't tell...

[–]Respondir 1 point2 points ago

After watching this several times, it looks like at the end, he kind of lifts himself up a bit before it cuts, so I'm guessing he didn't die.

[–]nitefang 1 point2 points ago

In the video someone else posted, he lives but has a pretty bad wound on his arm, he is definitely walking though.

[–]jess3lee 2 points3 points ago

That hurt my nose.

[–]xbicex 0 points1 point ago

Holy crap...did his arm get blown off?

[–]XCryptoX 2 points3 points ago

He is bleeding from his arm it looks like, maybe it blew the knife into it and cut him?

[–]Geotraka 1 point2 points ago

in the video link posted, from what i see it looks like this guys whole hand gets taken off.

[–]hok9 0 points1 point ago

If you look closely at :12, you can see his hand is still there but covered in blood.

[–]BeastMode213 0 points1 point ago

I doubt it was the knife. Those tires were under immense pressure when he slashed them and the air that shot out was like a blade. Probably much like the post about someone getting shot with a jet of ultra-high pressure hydraulic fluid from a burst pipe: [NSFL] http://i.imgur.com/4LGYQ.png

[–]SuperHorribleGaming -1 points0 points ago

A guy on youtube uploaded a montage of fails for the month with the original video of this in it, and had to re-upload and re-edit the video cause that man was seriously injured

[–]maxp0wah 0 points1 point ago

success?

[–]Crannynoko 0 points1 point ago

I think from the video he accidentally cut his wrist with the blade he used -to cut the tire- when falling. (blood from his arm everywhere)

[–]Ihateloops 0 points1 point ago

Is there another way?

[–]cuddlyogre 0 points1 point ago

I heard somewhere you can judge how screwed someone is by how quickly they lose their shoes in a situation. I have no idea what it means when you lose your shirt. I can't wrap my head around how it came off like that.

[–]dealga 0 points1 point ago

lesson learnt, maybe.

[–]JangSaverem -2 points-1 points ago

He knew the risks...too bad he didnt get more than that. Pain sucks but financial pain sucks harder. Luckily Im sure whoever got this video got him too so double the kick in the ass for being a dick faced cock gobbler.
