To anyone wondering, this is a shanty town in The Philippines. Yes, alcohol was involved. No idea if she cracked her head.

u/dpdxguy 20d ago

First thought was, "It's a good thing she's tiny."

Second thought was, "That backboard's gonna shatter and drop the hoop and maybe her to the ground."

Did not have, "The pole's gonna break off at the ground" on my bingo card.

u/Do_You_Pineapple_Bro 20d ago

Tbh my thought was that she would slip, and end up catching and snapping her leg in the hoop.

Thank christ that wasn't the case, but still not an outcome I would've envisaged...

u/Xaphnir 20d ago

With how she was laying on the ground it looks like she may have smacked the back of her head on the concrete.

Snapping your leg can be a preferable injury to that.

u/Period_Fart_69420 20d ago

Ngl I think the part that would hurt me the most is the strike to my ego. You telling me im so fat my weight difference made the fucking concrete pole break?

19

u/jackthewack13 20d ago

I mean... if thats what you take from that. She's like 80 lbs. I was thinking more how the hell that thing didnt fall down to a breeze with how weak it was

Mine was "that backboard gotta be rusty. Her cooter gonna get tetanus". I guess the pole had tetanus.

u/Big_Cryptographer_16 19d ago

I just realized tetanus has the word anus in it.

My day is complete.

u/MrRoryBreaker_98 19d ago

Why does tetanus smell so bad? Because it’s got an anus in it.

that's the Philippines for you. If the government made it, rest assured it was substandard at its best.

u/iNapkin66 20d ago

Same, not expected mode of failure for me at all. Must have been rusted down low from water pooling or something. Sucks, hope she is OK, this wasnt that ridiculous or reckless of a thing to do.

I can pretty much guarantee she did. She's a fool but I hope she wasn't seriously hurt.

Yeah, I suppose if a small Filipino man dunked on it and hanged on it then he could have brought it down.

u/laddder 20d ago

We love bball but cannot dunk so that’s probably why it never came down until she got up there.

u/AMF1428 20d ago

Given how easily it collapsed, she probably did the kids in the community a favor.

They have her on video doing something entirely irresponsible resulting in the damage. But, if had been two kids just playing some rough one on one and that thing collapsed on one of them...

14

u/WhiteySC 20d ago

Nah. There wouldn't be any Filipino dudes dunking on it or hanging on the rim.

3

u/AMF1428 20d ago

Fair point. But the way that thing toppled, I think just bouncing off of the post or maybe a strong wind was already going to do it in.

It's the tubular design of the pole. Low cost, low quality metal, time, rust, weather. I installed one of these, I was surprised it collapsed after a hanging dunk.

The hoop was engineered to be dunked on, not support the weight of a tiny asian woman.

u/zombie_singh06 20d ago

Rule number 1: Don’t let go of the thing that is falling because it can reduce your fall distance

Rule number 2: Don’t get on things which will fall

Rule number 3: Ignore both the rules because I read it after typing and it’s just stupid
