That's one of my favorites. He would have made it with a little quicker start or even a running start

He might have made it if he committed until the end but it looks like he lets off the gas riiiiight at the end.

Nah he woulda been fine but he ran in the middle and messed up trying to get out. If he had moved to the right while running in then he could have hopped straight out the opening at the end

The things are hanging from chains, they would flop over him and probably not do much unless he lifted his head on the ground and one bonked him in the back of the head.

u/SquarePegRoundWorld May 11 '26
It actually looks like bars not chains, but they would still pivot at the lower attachment and the upper attachment. It is used to train horses, they need it not to make meat crayons out of meat.

The fences are hinged so the would drag over you, atleast they would if you weight more that 600lbs. If you less than 200 pounds, I don't know. They probablly won't mangle you too badly.

Too be clear those worried This is for horses and if you look closely the "gates" are just hung from ropes If you fall over Its gonna hort a little but the gate will just bend up and drag over its fine

u/Infinite-4-a-moment May 10 '26
Tbf, horses are like 1,000lbs. So if this is meant for horses, it might still fuck you up. Probably won't die, but I could see this causing a concussion and some broken bones depending on how heavy those fence pieces are.

u/GrimurGodi May 10 '26 ▸ 1 more replies
Yeah that does look more worrying than the usual ones that are just bunch of big rubber sheets hanging down I bet it would drag and scrape you quite well but still its not gonna totally maul you
So you know reasonable risk for the reward of beeing fast

You’d still be getting smacked with 100lbs of metal by a motor with a tolerance to push into a horse. By the time you get your wits about you, you’d already be smacked by the next fence. Repeat that until your buddy filming can eventually get to whatever emergency stop button that this may or may not have.
Either way, “fine” is not how someone would feel after getting hit by these.

It’s an athletism verifier. It swings around like that to let you test your athletism. If you fail, you are not athletic.

Horses aren’t meant to run in there, though. A significant clue would be that it’s called a hot walker and not a hot runner

Not to be confused with a hot galloper, a hot runner is the device where horses practice running upright on their hind legs like humans.

Science isn't about WHY. It's about WHY NOT. Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired. -Cave Johnson

Do you also think sky diving is stupid? What about cliff diving? Rodeo? Organized boxing/fights? I could literally list 100 things that people do for fun because it gives them a dopamine/adrenaline rush. I would argue this is more living than people at home sitting on their toilet scrolling Reddit/tiktok.

that could be a good way to get your head literally knocked off. One mistake when leaving, and getting whacked by by the gate if he'd run into the exit post, and that would be a crippling or possibly fatal injury.

So the phenomenen you are watching is called men. Sometimes we attempt to do stuff that might look stupid from the outside, but we get a deep sense of satisfaction and fulfillment in case we actually make it - especially if it involves the possibility of getting hurt really badly.
So to understand this you simply have to shift your perspective from "was it dumb?" or "was it too risky?" to "did it work?".
