Father of the year.

FatGrover · 10 months

I wonder if the line at the top of the stairs thinned out after watching this?

sandandpomp · 10 months

There is some odd and unconscious grace in that fall. Looks like something Micheal Bay would put in slow motion.

Zulakki · 10 months

Are you kidding? Looks like Mom was Filming and she didn't even try to Catch her daughter!

Mother of the YEAR!

TheWomanWhisperer · 10 months

This appears to be the girl's fault. She hops right at the start of the fall.

Damn women can't even drive mattresses correctly.

genericwit · 10 months

Is it fucked up that I think it's absolutely hilarious how she bounces?

ryanyahhh · 10 months

It kind of scares me the way it looks like she's staring at the camera as she falls..

MiroFeelsYaBrah · 10 months

very guilty hysterical laugh

BiggityBates · 10 months

Love how she swings when she grabs onto the ledge in mid-fall

dsn0wman · 10 months

As the father of a two year old I can tell you this type of stuff doesn't hurt them, unless you act like they should be hurt, in which case there will be lots of crying.

DarreToBe · 10 months

Is it just me or is this something that most parents do with their kids when they're young?

BunnyL0V3 · 10 months

I used to do this in clothes baskets with pillows inside and a helmet on, no parents involved. Was I doing it wrong?

OurNameIsLegion · 10 months

Mother of the Year was too busy filming this gem.

[deleted] · 10 months

"This kills the child"

Also

Shit, she almost broke the camera!

But seriously, I always enjoy the content you post, dummystupid. And, if she had wrapped the mattress in a larger, bottom-sheet, she could've pulled it tight and used that to slide down.

Griddleman · 10 months

Should have used a sleeping bag

TheeMuffinMan · 10 months

no fucks were given by little brother.

ItrollbecauseIcare · 10 months

Show an animal getting inconvenienced and reddit downvotes to oblivion. Show a human child getting hurt and it's funny.

There is something wrong with humanity.

[deleted] · 10 months

I grew up doing this sort of thing! Next time she should try going down in a plastic laundry basket.

Atreyue · 10 months

And mother of the year was probably filming it instead of stopping it

talan123 · 10 months

That's what kids are for.

They can heal quick so we can enjoy their stupid acts through their eyes.

johnlukepicard · 10 months

I'll just leave this here.

GadTheCreator · 10 months

The face she makes when she's falling says, "Father..... why?"

Yojimbe · 10 months

Why is it that she has absolutely no facial expression when it is happening?

big_red__man · 10 months

I've done this as a drunk adult.

smash360 · 10 months

I say good parenting, bad mattress riding skills.

jtechs · 10 months

gh5046 · 10 months

We would take the mattresses off of all of our beds and line the stairs with them, then ride it like a slide.

Kelldandy · 10 months

Is that mother of the year behind the camera?

loridee · 10 months

Go ahead. It will be fun! Insurance agent is on speed dial.

StanimaJack · 10 months

She needs to learn to skate. That was some awesome falling.

SativaSunday · 10 months

The title is so sarcastic I can taste it

sniff3000 · 10 months

are those carpeted stairs?! that mattress isn't going anywhere.

it was also good that they are carpeted or that fall would have hurt more.

ninekeysdown · 10 months

meh, honest mistake.

LifeFantastic · 10 months

This may be an ignorant question, but has this ever worked?

ShinshinRenma · 10 months

You know, if the girl had sat down on the mattress instead of choosing to kneel on it it probably would have gone OK.

AwesomeKing5000 · 10 months

ruin · 10 months

That fall looked surprisingly graceful.

nailz1000 · 10 months

Oh, god, her face. "Falling down some stairs? I don't give a fuck."

usercc · 10 months

Daughter had some dirt on daddy. Mommy was not at home.

Daddy suggested a little down-stair slalom.

Little brother in background: "Me next."

colinstanford · 10 months

seemed like a good idea at the time...

DrKnockers04 · 10 months

Friction is a bitch.

[deleted] · 10 months

"Ok son, your turn."

Fromac · 10 months

I love the nonchalant look on her face as she tumbles down the stairs.

Runding · 10 months

I've got a daughter due in January, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be that guy.

I mean c'mon, it was fun while it lasted, right?!

SkyNTP · 10 months

Fortunately, this type of thing still falls under natural selection, even though it causes unnecessary suffering.

joelikesmusic · 10 months

having done this with my kids numerous times - you need to make the stairs more conducive to sliding - usually blankets work in a pinch but if you have a slip&slide handy that works really well too.

And then tell the kids to hang on. And dad needs to be below in the landing area to help catch kids that get loose.

Ray2chill · 10 months

when i was a kid we took a laundry basket and put brain buckets on sliding feet first down our biggest flight of stairs

allied14 · 10 months

I love how on my computer it plays once at about half speed, awesome slow motion effect.

[deleted] · 10 months

can't stop laughing.. does that make me a bad person?

[deleted] · 10 months

I'm not sure why her facial expression remains so calm throughout the fall but it makes me laugh really hard.

Ntylenda1 · 10 months

Did she bounce? Or did she grab one of those pillars on the top of the stairs?

Linky2011 · 10 months

Wwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

In his defense, the mother is probably the cinematographer of the year.

Jucoy · 10 months

Physics What Do?

brent_dub · 10 months

It's not his fault she was too dumb to hold on!

Actually ... I suppose it kinda is. :-(

wordprodigy · 10 months

maybe it's just me but the thumbnail of this image looks like something dirty

SpaizKadett · 10 months

Shit happens to everybody. Have you never played with your children and accidentally made them cry?

BarackEmRack · 10 months

The camera angle is impeccable.

ch33s3 · 10 months

Indeed that is a good father. Sometimes the kids have to learn from their own mistakes.

Isaynicethings · 10 months

Is it bad that I sat here uncontrollably laughing for almost twenty minutes straight- and when I clicked on it again I laughed so hard I couldn't breath, just sat here snorting in air trying not to pass out from all the funny

JoyousCacophony · 10 months

I was listening to some music that seemed to sync up to this so very perfectly, so I had to watch it for a full 4+ minutes. I laughed...a lot. I'm a bad man.

stealthshadow · 10 months

Sleeping bags work so much better.

dancemonkey · 10 months

I am a parent, and I approve of this video.

I don't approve of the father's behavior, but I approve of the video.

jigby61 · 10 months

I'll mark this as...failure.

wild-tangent · 10 months

Hey now, I did that as a kid. My dad gave me the mattress. It was AWESOME. Just 'cause it didn't work out here didn't make it a "bad idea." Childhood is FULL of bad ideas.

wretchedmachine · 10 months

Wife: Honey, what's that?!

Husband: Uhhh, nothing, I, uh, dropped something.

joeisreason · 10 months

She had it coming for hiding the tv control.

Gorphax · 10 months

I don't know why, but the funniest part is the one or two frames where she makes eye contact with the camera while catching her fall like Nathan Drake.

bgb111 · 10 months

Ragdoll physics IRL.

DHumefan · 10 months

The way she falls is hilarious.

[deleted] · 10 months

He certainly tried to be!

rhoncero · 10 months

I was having a great laugh looking a the gif, then I began to read the comments and stopped. Thanks.

redditor-for-2-hours · 10 months

I'm more shocked at the fact that the father never tried this for himself as a kid (and consequently learning what can go wrong.)
I remember trying to ride down stairs on pillows, a trashcan lid, a laundry basket, and a plastic snowboard as a kid. None of them worked out very well...

Kevvo16 · 10 months

Eh, I did it when I was a kid.

overbeard · 10 months

She took a tumble. That much we can be sure of.

xyroclast · 10 months

Why is it so hard to drop the camera when someone is in danger?

Gabinoblue · 10 months

I wonder of the kid in the back waiting to "slide" will change his mind after watching his poor sister go down with so much force.

thisisafakestory · 10 months

My turn!

Eddie_The_Brewer · 10 months

For fuck's sake, don't let the UK government see that. They'll ban mattresses for being unsafe.

JS1717 · 10 months

Am I headed to hell for laughing at this????
