Don't worry everyone, this is fake.

I'm pretty sure someone posted the actual video of this a couple of weeks ago, and someone posted source for it being a viral video or something. What the GIF doesn't show is just before the table cloth is pulled out, you see the kid at the back get into place, ready to jump back into the shelving unit, and the jump back is fake-looking.

Edit for the people downvoting me:

Original video

http://www.stopptdieshow.de/

When you click on the link (which says "stop the show" in English), and look at the right side of the website, it says "Glaubst du alles, was du im Netz siehst?" which means "Do you believe everything you see on the internet?"

It's an official German campaign by GOP Entertainment Group to warn people they should not believe everything they see. There are tickets you can buy to see a show. It's all made by film makers.

Like most people when I was a kid me and my brother made up stupid games together. One of these games was to throw this paper plane to the top of this shelf I had which sat on top of a dresser and then get the plane down. The top of this shelf sat at probably the 8ft mark. My brother went first and went from the side where I had another table there for easy access. When it was my turn he told me I couldn't use the same route he did because that was cheating. Obviously I had to go up the front then. As I was almost at the top of the shelf, I suddenly realized I was now falling backwards and an 8 foot shelf was coming down on me.

It looked just like this gif.

It hurt.

My brother is a dick.

Did teh kid survive? I mean a tv fucking fell on him

[–]yesukai 35 points36 points ago

He survived the TV falling on him, that's easy. He didn't survive his father getting home.

staged magic trick. You can clearly see the kid on the right falls into a false floor. He has his arms and feet tucked in obviously because he's scared he won't fit. Notice the table cloth falls pretty far into the floor when the kid lands on it.

[–]stfuasshat 0 points1 point ago

Apparently he didn't fall into it. You can see his legs right before the gif ends.

[–]djdementia 1 point2 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It looks like that in the GIF but if you take a look at the video he does move them in time (linked below). You can also see the pen on the table in front do some weird warping possibly indicating a camera trick or mirror trick.

upvotes for keep observational skill and good resource material. Downvotes for being a rude douche to anyone who questions your authority.

[–]djdementia 2 points3 points ago

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

Bold was for emphasis not for rudeness. shrug it's hard to convey emotions in text and everyone is so sensitive to bold/caps/etc. I was trying to point out that in the GIF it may look like that but in the video he does get his legs in just in time. Sorry if it came out rude. I'll edit it to be a bit more polite.

[–]meo_myo 2 points3 points ago

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

and now you get upvotes to mend the downvotes because you're not a jerk, just boldface happy.

Ha ha explains why the other kid ran liek hell.

[–]evildoppleganger -4 points-3 points ago

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

I'm fairly certain that you're wrong. There's a table that the camera is sitting on and you can see the front edge of it. I'm pretty certain that kid got a concussion, but the TV looks like it landed over a foot away from him.

[–]djdementia 0 points1 point ago

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

what does the table have to do with anything? Also if you look at the video the pen on the table moves weirdly like a cut in the video. Not only that but the video was produced by a company that's slogan is "Don't believe everything you see on the Internet"

[–]JackOffTehBox 1 point2 points ago

I'm sorry but if that had happened to me I would scream and cry and make my pain audible. Before all that shit fell on me. I don't wanna know how much of a pussy I would've been back then. And the kid's lack of any real reaction makes me believe that it is not truths. :(

Original video was staged. Poor performance by kid on the right proved that notion further.

Fake, kids ready for the hit and the shelf doesn't get pushed back, only forward. You can also see this little hole he falls into.

This happened to me once, however the TV was not in the stand and I instead went through it unscathed.

Freshly filled pants, but unscathed.

Wow that was terrible, nothing stayed in place on the table. There's no way that kid will ever make it as a professional magician.

Where do you think the pokemon names came from? Abra Kadabra Alakazam. It's a lesser known third part of the typical abra kadabra.
