The joy of victory and the agony of also victory.

Quick turn for the worse eh? Majestically soaring above the bar, and then getting raped by a pole on the way down.

[–]formulaic 23 points24 points ago

Typical human-centric attitude. This is really the story of how a poor pole almost got broken in half, but endured and ultimately got his revenge.

I saw this video a few years ago, exactly what I thought of.

I actually said "AUUUUAHHHH" and held my hand up to my mouth on the slow replay at the end.

I've always wondered why this doesn't happen more often. Any pole vaulters here? Is there a technique called something like push-the-pole-to-the-side-so-you-don't-impale-yourself?

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes, there is.

Well, there isn't a specific technique, but the first thing you learn after 'stick this in the box and jump' is 'push the pole away from you when you go over'.

Most times though, with the lower level vaulters, the pole isn't taller than the bar they are attempting to jump, so there is no worry. It's the top in the high school level, college, and above that you need to start to worry.

I never had to worry about they since I only got up to around 13'. I did, however, get rejected a few times (Where you attempt to get a good bend, you don't get enough, the pole straightens too early and you end up going backwards instead of over the bar). For that they always teach you to hold onto it rather than let go, which makes sense when you are 13' in the air or higher and only have a fiberglass pole to hold on to.

How did he take it? What jokes did people make?

[–]MADtheory 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It was a track meet for all of the military academies (US), so of course a lot of the participants were flexing their egos the whole time (it was actually the first track meet I had ever seen, so maybe that is normal), and he basically just continued to flex his even after...

Haha, fortunately for him I think it must have gotten him in the gooch, because he did get up fairly quickly and just kinda walked like he browned his pants.

The jokes actually didn't stick for too long, mostly along the lines of "That didn't seem to hurt him too bad, look at him walking--Oh, he's from the Naval Academy, eh? Must be used to it, those Navy dudes are fags" kind of thing

I wish the gifbin servers would explode.

Seriously. I don't know if people realize it but 99% of these gifs can be found on youtube as an actual modern video.

And if you can't play them because you're on some device that doesn't support flash, then you're fucked. It was only a video of some dude getting a pole jammed up his ass or a cat jumping in the air or a dude getting his foot ran over by a car.

You're not missing anything.

Being in China I appreciate the gifs. But I'm definitely in the minority. Anyway fuck the majority, keep them gifs comin

A similar thing happened to a friend of mine. He got hit in the nose though and went around telling people his busted face was given to him by his 80 lb girlfriend in a drunken rage.
