3 guys next to him stop. Which might have slowed it down just enough. I wonder how much that thing weighs though.

[–]tallowspammo 4 points5 points ago

Yes, the pulling never stopped; However, you can clearly see numerous people behind the line who pick up the slack when needed, yet slow down after the guy flips over.

[–]adrianmonk 4 points5 points ago

Nice recovery when he tripped and almost hit the ground but somehow managed to keep moving. As a jogger, I am intimately familiar with all the variations of tripping and either face-planting or somehow managing to keep vertical. When your center of mass is as low as his was and you keep putting one foot in front of the other, that's impressive.

IT'S A TARP!

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That tarp is so heavy it took 15 people to unroll. There's no way he would survive being crushed by this thing.

[–]hazmatisse 24 points25 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He'd probably be fine. Maybe even better because OP's tarp guy's tarp roll was unrolling faster. Also, 15 people to tarp the field quickly, but if time wasn't an issue, who knows.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points ago

He appears to be okay

Other than suffering a humiliating defeat at the hand of a tarp.

Happens quite frequently, I saw it live during a Mets game this year. It took the guy like a full minute to find his way out.

[–]phlogistontheory 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He'd probably survive because the grass is soft and wet. However, he'd very likely break some limbs or ribs.

[–]yoda133113 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You don't need the 15 people to unroll it. You need 15 people to unfold it, unfolding it is a hell of a lot harder than unrolling it.

Why don't those little bitches just play in the rain like most other sports?

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It would probably be insanely boring to watch a wet baseball game given how much of it relies on being able to throw something accurately. In football you can turn to short passes and running plays, in soccer your not carrying anything anyways, and basketball and hockey are indoors.

Additionally, good luck looking up into rain to find a baseball hurtling somewhere towards you and have fun spending most of the time standing dead still in the rain.

Stand in the batters box facing a pitcher who can throw a hard ball at 98 miles/hr whose accuracy may be off due to the wet conditions and then talk about who's a bitch or not.

[–]boatss 0 points1 point ago

It has to do with the grass on the baseball field, if I remember. It gets slicker than soccer/football/rugby/etc and therefore would be detrimental to the player.

[–]suttin 4 points5 points ago

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

Also, the grass they use is fucking EXPENSIVE. They just redid the sod at Busch Staidum after the U2 concert, and I think I heard it was over $2 million for the sod.

They are covering the playing field at a baseball game so it doesn't have to air dry after the rain stops. Apparently baseball players are too wimpy to play when it rains....

Reminds me of an article I once read about how, during WWII, the Chinese would build air strips using manual labour. They would use giant stone rolls pushed by local workers, and when someone fell down, they'd just continue and laugh at their dead or injured compatriot.

I used to be on the ground crew and that was a pain in the ass. I've never seen anyone roll over like that but we have had guys slip while unfolding the tarp which they then get covered by it and is very dangerous.
