Newton's little known fourth law: every action has a complete overreaction in the opposite direction.

In other words, he was so heavy and off balance that every effort to get up made him fall forward more.

The poor, poor man.

There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to running fast. The knack lies in learning how to stand upright and fail.

Replacing torn jeans: $35

Medical Checkup: $250

Replacing a Grand am's parking break: $1200

$250 for a checkup! Shit, when you get hurt is the first thing you think about "am I going to be ok" or "am I going to be broke"?

i thought i might have broken ribs/punctured something several months ago and took a full week before i finally decided it was time to give in to the dr. bill.

3 xrays & a giant hospital bill later turns out i just heavily bruised my ribs.

fuck!

I'm very sorry I really am. Please tell more people, all of us up here are rooting for you guys to get the promised health care.

Hope you healed up ok :)

I don't care what anyone says. Canadians are fucking nice.

[–]ashtrizzle 4 points5 points ago

It's because they have so much money left over after all that free health care.

I seem to recall telling someone on here a few months back that their broken ribs were likely only bruised.

Was it you?

K well, I'm sure that next time you hear someone complaining that they broke their ribs, you'll be able to save them the hospital trip.

[–]McNuggz 24 points25 points ago

If I had 300 lbs strapped to me and I was pushed in one direction, I'm going to guess I could stumbled for about 5 or 6 feet before I fell.

He didn't fall, he was in decaying orbit.

You see it in the NFL all the time. I've done it quite a few times. It isn't fun.

The fact that he's trying it in the first place is great. Kudos to good parenting.

[–]HelloAdventure 45 points46 points ago

Is anyone else actually happy he's trying to bond with his kids? Or is that just disregarded by his weight?

[–]DedicatedApathy 27 points28 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm actually laughing not really at his weight, but at the fact that he ran into the only object he could within 15 feet, which happens to be a parked car. His weight might contribute to making this happen though...

[–]Mr_Ballyhoo 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My first reaction was holy shit this dad rocks for trying to do something with his kids, Then I laughed when he started trying to save his fall. Just go with it man you got all that cushioning to fall on. Still a bad ass Dad though.

[–]Wazowski 5 points6 points ago

Irrelevant, and unknowable.

For all you know he is a former pro boarder who is all doped out and beats his wife.

Stop being so sensitive chubs.

Yes I'm glad he's trying something OUTSIDE but come on. You cannot NOT laugh at this.

Does the kid running away at the end say "I crapped my pants"?

The dad is fat. The kids are fat. Even the goddam plant is fat.

[–]zangetsubeauty 0 points1 point ago

I was thinking that too, but had to check someone else was as cruel as me to point out the fat kids.

[–]Noseburp 0 points1 point ago

Why is it cruel to point out the fat kids? The kids shouldn't be that fat.

Stuff like this puts a little faith back in humanity. It's like when you find your granddad in front of the TV with your Playstation out of sheer curiosity or because they care enough about you to try stuff that they might find frightening. People who steps into de deep end should be cheered on! Offcourse not to have a huge laugh when they fail, but hopefully they can see the humor themselves and don't mind too much when I can't keep myself from guffawing.

Having watched the video: http://quietube.com/v.php/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pBKGae5loI

I have to say that while I think his weight adds to the humour, as always I'm saddened to see a fat parent have fat kids.

Losing weight once you get to the point that the father is at is very hard, but certainly his children still have a chance.

Or, you know, he could just keep doing what he's doing and greatly increase the chance of his children dieing young.

I don't recommend skateboarding as a sport for losing weight because at the end, the weight will lose you...

Dad-bot, heralded in lab tests, has failed his first public test.

Seen as top heavy and without motor skills by the public, Dad-bot went back to lab for review.

What researchers found was Amazing!

Dad-bot's homing device worked better than expected, and coupled by better orientation software it was decoded
