No, no, that deserved a double high five.

u/this_dust 2d ago

He was pranking the other guy that was about to jump in. He cut the line! Hilarious!

u/waffle_stomperr 2d ago

They’re on the wrong side of the rope to even get in too. Multiple levels of dumb here.

u/BigAnxiousBear 2d ago

No, they’re not. His problem was he just didn’t even jump.

Really you could enter from any direction as long as you run into position as soon as the rope is going away from you and jump over the rope to get into centre position as it’s coming back through.

You’re solo roping in your posts. What does that have to do with this? It’s way more difficult to get in rhythm from the upswing of the rope.

u/BigAnxiousBear 2d ago edited 2d ago

Here we have children jumping into the rope with the rotation coming towards them, like seen above. Hope this clears up the Dunning-Kruger level of dumb in your comment.

He hit the rope with his head as he was entering. There was a slight deflection of the rope from his head. He failed the first step before even deciding when to jump.

u/swedishworkout 2d ago

Should probably learnt to jump rope before trying jumping rope on fire.

u/zandariii 1d ago

Some people never played Mario Party 64 and it shows

u/Fidodo 16h ago

You need to press a when the rope is near the top, not when it hits the bottom

1

u/Villagerofcrossing 2d ago

The rope got stuck on him for a moment.

u/SandboxSurvivalist 2d ago

It looked to me like the guy on the left (the one with the cap) was getting ready to go in and was just waiting to time it right when the bald guy suddenly decided to pull a Leeroy Jenkins.

u/LightsJusticeZ 2d ago

His legs didn't skip, but his brain sure did.

Butane fire is more warm than it is hot. He's fine.

Looks like a Full Moon party in Thailand. This is a regular occurrence 😥😵😐😐😐

u/-dommmm 1d ago

They should put a pool of water nearby to jump in just in case.

u/LmaoPew 1d ago

Did he forget to press the jump button?

Especially when you don’t actually skip the fire rope.

Good timing

Everyone could tell he didn't know what he was doing to begin with.

u/Wilvinc 1d ago

Stop drop and roll? They don't teach that anymore?

u/reddit_has_fallenoff 22h ago

Ha, i was just there last night.

Sidenote: those workers seemingly have to do that fire jump rope every night, even if no one is at the beach. I was just chilling and the beach was empty and i was kinda shocked to just see them light the rope on fire and start swinging it in hopes someone would come to their empty bar.

u/Economy-Assignment31 2d ago

Is "Stop, drop, and roll." no longer taught in primary school. I see so many videos of people catching themselves on fire and having no idea what to do...

It was bad enough they didn't teach finance.

u/DB1723 2d ago

People just don't react properly to fire in general. We've seen it on here, and I've seen it multiple times in person. I've seen someone dump a pan full of burning bacon into a trash can. I've seen a bartender laughing while a kitchen fire was burning (cocaine was involved), and I've even seen a complete moron let a fire burn at work with the intention of waiting for the manager to come back from his break to deal with it. Some people just suck at dealing with fire for some reason.
