Injury Let's hope video of ankle-breaking, faulty step is shown to those in charge

Looks like is just uneven steps. They will throw you off like that.

u/Scottlebutt Aug 18 '22
There's a step missing. If you look at each wooden step, there's a smaller metal step. Where they are falling, the smaller metal step is missing, and they each are expecting it to be there.

He thought there was a stair there. There wasn't. His foot landed wrong and he rolled it. It is the exact reason this dude broke his ankle.

u/Anforas Aug 19 '22
That explains why it looks like he could have broken or rolled his ankle, but
It don't explain why this dude's ankle literally broke

u/Scottlebutt Aug 19 '22
You're saying it explains why he could have, but doesn't explain why he did?
What is your question?

That's not a break, he kept walking on it. I've bent mine further and had it stepped on without even spraining it.

u/TwoScoopsofDestroyer Aug 18 '22
One of the steps is still collapsed, you can tell because right under the video recorder's wood bench is another wood bench instead of a foot rest space.

What the fuck is going on with that step

u/salty_drafter Aug 18 '22
It's taller then the rest so it screws up your pace.

Yep my step dad built un even steps for our porch and let’s just say he’s ate shit multiple times after night of heavy drinking. Maybe if he did it right the first time he would still have good knees..

It looks like it’s foldable bleachers that either have a step that needs pulled out or it’s just stuck.
6
u/mogley1992 Aug 18 '22
There are smaller steps between steps, the one where they're falling is missing because the retractable bleachers aren't fully extended.
Source: i know literally nothing and have seen bleachers like this twice in my life. I pieced this together from two other comments that are higher up than yours.

Reminds me of this! The guy made the video and it went viral, and the stair was fixed right after!

Watching people roll their ankles makes me so uncomfortable. The worst pain in my life was rolling my ankle when I was younger. Luckily, I haven't done it in years

I rolled my ankle and fractured it back in 2011 and it hasn't been the same ever since. Worst pain ever for sure
6
Aug 18 '22
I rolled mine when I was 12 or 13 and 15 years later it still pops occasionally when I walk or just stretch it out.

u/Scrytheux Aug 19 '22
I twisted my left ankle 4 times already. If you twist your ankle, it's never gonna be the same and you'll easily fuck it up again, sadly.

Aug 19 '22
This is true, unfortunately. I rolled it again earlier this year while wearing a new pair of sandals, so I had to put on the ankle brace for a week. Considering wearing it full-time lol. I think I rolled it 4 or 5 times since the first big one

u/NoNeedForAName Aug 19 '22
Dislocated mine in 2011 and on cold mornings I have to stretch it out just so I can walk down the stairs after I get out of bed.
I've always had weak ankles. I've had more sprains than I can count at this point.

Aug 19 '22
And they always get you by surprise, it's seems that it's just a matter of time before it happens again haha

u/Plane-Click-7392 Dec 07 '22
Yeah i fucked mine up good as a kid. Both of them still snap to this day. Think it’s tendons not healing or being misplaced

u/Pudi2000 Aug 18 '22
Instead of warning them, let's film a potential bone breaker!

u/noahwebster2000 Aug 18 '22
Before phones you would have just sat there and chuckled

u/FishinforPhishers Aug 19 '22
The same people that would’ve done that in the past are filming it nowadays

u/Thorerthedwarf Aug 18 '22
Welcome to modern society where it's better to get updoots instead of being a decent human being.

u/theantivirus Aug 18 '22
I like to think of myself as a "decent human being", but no way in hell I'm going to sit there and warn every single person that walks by. I wouldn't film it though. I think the filming part is what is crossing the line, not the part where they didn't warn others.

u/Dr5teveBrule Aug 18 '22
On the contrary, my good sir. This could be potentially great evidence for a court case if someone were to really get hurt. They would have solid proof that the steps are dangerous

u/NoNeedForAName Aug 19 '22
Or you could earn people so people don't get injured and need to file lawsuits.

No like saying “hey watch your step right there”

u/5348345T Aug 18 '22
When you've told 4 people and all of them responded with
"Fuck you bro I know how to walk"
You take out your phone and film instead
13
u/Longskip912 Aug 18 '22
That doesn’t sound like a likely scenario. Maybe you’d warn an asshole or two but most people will probably just say thanks
14
u/sprocketous Aug 18 '22
Seriously? You are going to be the crazy person who declares to every passer byer how to walk all night long? No you wont. Its easy to type that out on reddit but you will not do that and you know it.

u/Jerozay Aug 18 '22
“Don’t worry guys I’ll be the step monitor today. Everybody else enjoy the game and socialize I’ll take it from here.”

u/Longskip912 Aug 19 '22
I guess that is kinda silly. But I would be uncomfortable sitting there knowing I’m going to watch person after person stumble down a stair a few feet from me.
1
u/NoNeedForAName Aug 19 '22
But the person recording isn't enjoying the game. They're enjoying filming people getting injured.
It's amazing how much effort people in this thread are putting into arguing against not being assholes.

u/sebastian227 Aug 18 '22
You want to bother warning like hundred people going through there ?

I remember reading somewhere that when you have uniform steps and one of the steps is higher or lower by a small margin, most people will trip.

reminds me of this video showing people tripping on a particular nyc subway step: https://youtu.be/seieuz__B_g

u/_dead_and_broken Aug 18 '22
It's hilarious how most get all "omg I gotta run the rest of the way up, maybe if I do, no will notice I tripped, I totally meant to do that!"

When they ask why OSHA has a reg for step height, width, and uniformity…

People put way too much trust in their surroundings. Watch where you are walking.

Slow down the video. That second broke his ankle. Definitely. He either shredded his ligaments of fractured the ankle.

How would you help people here? "Excuse me. I think you're the kind of dipshit that needs to be warned about a step on a staircase. Everyone here is apparently dipshits, so you probably are too."
See that would be rude

u/LordSt4rki113r Aug 18 '22
Do people not look where they are stepping?
22
Aug 18 '22
We use steps subconsciously. No one watches each n every step its just in our nature.Thats why steps are made even unlike here.
5
u/Jerozay Aug 18 '22
Yup. Even when you’re looking right at the step it still feels weird. I’m sure there’s a sign somewhere saying to watch your step that everyone brushed off.

Thats what im thinking... I always look where my next steps are. I know where my feet are going before i get there and it has probably saved me countless times.

u/LordSt4rki113r Aug 19 '22
Dang right, I don't wanna not know what I'm stepping into. I like having unbroken ankles. In typical fashion, however, it's pretty obvious that reddit disagrees lmfao

These people just aren’t paying attention 🤷🏿♂️ I guess what they need to fix is people walking up and down bleachers distracted. They’re brave for that shit

u/mikkokilla Aug 18 '22
There is science and math that back up propper stair height and width so that a person does not stumble and fall on stairs. Obviously this bleacher is made shoddily and is the type of crap that fuels lawsuits

Run and rise! Google the one at a subway entrance in NYC. Funny! It's one half inch taller then the rest and everyone trips on it.

There is a subway exit in NYC that had one step off like this, I think the city ended up fixing it after it went viral with its own webcam.

These are foldable bleachers. They just need to pull them out all the way and it’s fixed.
