You're right, that is great parenting! Warms my heart to see someone actually playing with their kids.

Brings back so many memories, so many laughs, and yes a few bumps when things went wrong, but the joy of have fun with mum and dad far out weigh the bumps

This is one of the primary reasons you have kids: little people rubbery enough to not get as hurt who think your really bad ideas are great.

If a kid face-plants, he gets back up again and continues running around. If an adult face-plants, he breaks a nose, shatters a few teeth, and may even need to have his jaw wired back together again.

Stupid adulthood. No one told me how dangerous it was. I thought it was all ice cream and staying up late. :(

Man, shit like that just happens as a parent sometimes. Took a visit to see my brother when he got back to georgia from iraq and took my kids to the park. The kids got on the merry go round and said they wanted to go fast..naturally, I grabbed the handle and gave it a heave Thor would have been envious of. My son held on like a boss, my daughter on the other hand did a double gainer and landed in a way that would have easily put someone my age (30) in the hospital. She gave me the wtf face and decided swings were more her style.

Original YouTube link (did you really need to make a GIF for a 30 second video?)

EDIT: also a repost

[–]KajiKaji 14 points15 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wow! That's like a Gif with sound! We should turn all gifs into youtube videos!

[–]heyfella 19 points20 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

do you really need a whole youtube video for a 4 second loop?

[–]f1rstman 19 points20 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think animated GIFs have their place, but in this case, the sound makes it much better - you get the full reaction from the dad and the mom (who's holding the camera). And you can hit the number 2 repeatedly if you just want to replay the launch over and over again.

I just find it odd that so many videos get converted to what's essentially a silent film when YouTube hosts these clips perfectly well. I'm not sure if it's more like 1996 or 1906.

[–]idiocracyftw 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

TIL about the number 2 and youtube. I'm guessing it brings you to 20% of the video being over? So 1 would be 10% and so on?

[–]f1rstman 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

yep!

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

But mom had no reaction!

But yeah, I love the video much more than gif. It shows all their reactions with those little chipmunks all over the place.

edit: The mom had no immediate reaction, but she did have a reaction later :P

[–]beckermt 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The sound really REALLY brings this home. So, yes. Hit 2 while focused on the video and it jumps to right before she flies up in the air. Her screech is HILARIOUS.

[–]FakingItEveryDay 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not to mention that the video confirms that she wasn't hurt. Felt kind a guilty laughing at the gif without knowing.

[–]jfdkalkj 4 points5 points ago

Not injured, and not phased in the slightest. Parents are laughing nervously while the kids yell "My turn".

[–]heyfella -1 points0 points ago

bandwidth, portability, universal playback, looping, to piss off whiners like you.

[–]Confucius_says -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

yes becasue zooming in a animated gif to its max level of zoom and watching it loop over about 5 times to udnerstand whats happening in it is really worth the saved banwidth and "portability"

What platforms are there that can play an animated gif but can't watch a youtube clip?

[–]heyfella -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

look, just because you're incompetent doesn't mean the rest of the internet is.

[–]Confucius_says -4 points-3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So you loaded up the gif and immedaitly saw what was goig on and understood it despite there was nothing to identify the setting or what is going on. All you see is that there is a bed and then someone goes flying. You have to watch it atleast 2 or 3 times to understand everything in the picture (ie that the bed is an air matress, that its a tiny girl, that its her dad or something). Of course by the time you draw in the scenery you already know whats so funny about it all and any comedic qualities are gone.

It's all about delivery.

[–]heyfella -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

yeah, it's simple. i'm sorry you're so bad at picking up humor that you need a youtube video to hold your hand for you.

[–]Confucius_says -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm sorry you have no sense in humor and you'll just laugh at anything even if its not funny.

Someone with a sense of humor would find it funny that the girl is so light that the dad sitting on the air matress makes her go flying

You just look at the gif and go "lol she fell! lololollo"

[–]PageFault -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm not entirely convinced Gifs always save bandwidth. They often load up slowly, frame by frame for me.. Youtube video's seem much less likely to have hiccups.

[–]heyfella -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

cool! plus you have to load the whole page, ads, other video thumbnails, scripts, etc! we get it, though, you need youtube to hold your hand.

[–]PageFault 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

cool! plus you have to load the whole page, ads, other video thumbnails, scripts, etc!

I know it seems like it has to be more, and probably is, but it loads a lot faster for me. It can't have all that much more.

we get it, though, you need youtube to hold your hand.

Can you explain this? Are you saying it is any "easier" to watch youtube vs a gif?

Are you kidding? Kids at that age are indestructible! My dad used to carefully toss my brother and I onto our beds when we were little kids because it was fun as hell back then. I still leap or dive onto my bed at night before sleeping.

We turned out just fine as adults! It's not like we brained our damage! Oh shit, did I get that backwards? I'm Lysdexic!

I watched the gif, and understood that the title was a joke.

Then I confirmed by watching the video.

It is quite clear that the girl is not harmed. Anyone can see that by following her head as she falls, it does not hit anything directly, and she falls on the bed shoulders first.

[–]curiouspursuit 1 point2 points ago

When I was a kid we went to family camp every summer. They had a big airbag called 'The Blob'... You climbed about 15 feet up onto a platform, and lept onto a giant inflated bag maybe 10 x 40 feet. Then you crawled down to the other end, laid in a marked rectangle in the same position as the little girl in the video, and waited for the next person to launch you into the lake.

All summer long this was done without incident by a bunch of similarly sized kids. Then it is the week of family camp and instead of a bunch of 9-14 yr olds it is my dad (240lbs of overgrown kid at heart) launching my little brother (a scrawny, fearless little 5 yr old).

With a basic understanding of physics you can imagine what happened next: my little brother launched about 40 ft into the air, high enough and far enough that lifeguards were racing out the dock as he was falling back to earth. And he was fine. In fact he was just sad that the lifeguards wouldn't let them do it again!

tl;dr- saw this happen on a grander scale, little bro loved it, dad got flack for it
