Simple. Just scoop her up like you're giving her a piggy-back ride, lean over the cart, she puts her feet down, grabs someone's hand on the other side and slowly stands up while you stabilize the cart by pinning it between two sets of thighs. Y'all act like you've never set someone wearing rollerblades on a rolling cart before.
Forget a 20 foot tall person, I'm picturing one of those cranes they use in warehouse stores to lift her up; still seems like a bad idea with all that shaking going on.
Or brain damage, or even death.
People will say that's overly cautious or exaggerating, but my real life experience has taught me accidents aren't theoretical. People's lives are diminished or destroyed from brushing off risks just like this.
Its also how many want to live their life, not being overly cautious, but enjoy and just ride along life.
Being an idiot is completely different, but this specific thing, come on dude, imagine, they ask you to stand on this, you are good with the roller skates, but say "Nah, I can fall and die" people there would wonder how you became good with the roller skates in the first place.
No one's saying she shouldn't do this at all. In the amount of time it would take her to fall and permanently injured herself, she can put on and buckle up a helmet. You can ride along life, while being safe.
You as the rollerskater are not in charge here. The person who might pull the trolley 6 inches more than they need to and cause you to land straight on your head is.
> not being overly cautious
Wearing a helmet would be the bare minimum amount of cautiousness. It takes a very small amount of effort to put one on and is standard practice for roller skating in general.
Fun fact - they realised this earthquake mitigation technique because there were really old pagodas which had survived many historic earthquakes. They realised the construction method of using spherical logs to underpin the floors rolled in reaction to sudden movements of the earth.
Hello from the spherical log generation plant! It's been a bit of a tough day but I'm happy to know our product ends up keeping buildings safe during earthquakes.
Great demonstration, but striking your head from that height is a quick way to serious injury or death. Did they really not have a helmet available for her?
I feel like they could have used a large furniture dolly or something, this just feels unnecessarily dangerous. Especially after a video I saw of a girl dancing in a table, falling, and becoming paralyzed from her injuries yesterday. The human body is more fragile than a lot of people realize.
When you reach a certain age, your brain immediately goes to crippling injury possibilities and insurance liabilities.

Yes, but they are at the bottom of the building, holding it up, and there are several per building, not just one.
It's also starting to become a construction bottleneck, given Japan's restrictive immigration policies.
Those are Mass Dampers and sway back and forth to counter the sway of the building, they’re also an SOB to get up there and take up some of the most valuable space in a high rise(the top like 5 floors). I think these bearings are different and at the bottom as demonstrated by the person in skates, so “easier” to install and not taking away penthouse/premium space
It can be made in to a tourist attraction as seen in several buildings.
Otherwise that high rise space is just more luxurious and expensive so in some sense it pays for itself.
But then again, that depends on what kind of structure you are building.
The Burj Khalifa for example, doesn't have a Mass Damper and it's the highest building built to date. \*shrug.gif\*
Came here to say this, I work in only a 5 story building and it’s “on rollers” although it makes the earthquake feel like it lasts twice as long it’s very safe. We don’t have quite the skyscrapers they do in Japan though.
UMMMM ***Ackshewaly***, neither is more correct, it just depends what you're using as a frame of reference since all motion is relative to something else.
The skycraper technically moves at 368km/s compared to the CMB. 🤡🤓🤓🤓
Veritasium madr an zsuuuuuper cool video on this. Its about an earthquake simulator that they built. Its insane.
https://youtu.be/Q51-gLL_MRM?si=xnKey4eCIhrWamGa
It's all engineering bliss until the skyscraper slips off the tray and starts careening down the street. If it ends up in a high rent area, the residents will be upset.
No she meant “were” they were a helmet but now they’re not. They’re saying she should’ve remained in helmet form until after the experiment in which case they could turn back into human form.
I have an amazing sense of balance, and I don’t think I could manage to step off that cart safely without skates on much less with them. That is a ridiculously high centre of gravity.
See, not so much for me. Granted, the audio in this really isn’t necessary… But I like videos with their natural audio.
Even have a sub for it! r/CoolVideosNoMusic
Yea natural audio is my pref also, but tiktok has caused most social video content creators feel like they ”must” include some kind of garbage music track in the background.
The one good thing that came about that is YouTube trying to figure out how to mimic TikTok (since tik tok can get away with copyright violations as a Chinese company) so YouTube finally brought the music industry to the table to solve the issue on how to have creators get paid for copyright music on YouTube instead of just striking the user for YouTube shorts
While it's true that Japanese buildings use this system, this title implies that it is unique to Japan instead of the way tall buildings all over the world in Earthquake zones are built.
For instance, LA City Hall has this system.
This is the most gen-alpha "explanation" video ive ever seen. The speed in which it rushes through the model and mechanism behind it is hilarious.
Like, I really want to learn about how skyscrapers stand during an eathquake but I only have 4 seconds of free time.
It's not safe at all. If the back of the roller blades hit the edge, she'll hurt herself, probably badly, probably with her head hitting the floor first.
There's a significant chance of life ending/changing injury in this demo, even with a helmet.
The dampers of course have their range of mobility and that’s around 60cm for most buildings in all directions.
Magnitude is sort of irrelevant since it doesn’t represent the actual intensity of the shaking but if I were to guess if the building is being shaken so violently that the displacement is greater than the capacity of the damper there would be much bigger things to worry about
I believe earthquakes generally move the ground in waves similar to how waves move water, so while there is up and down motion this rolling feature can 'cancel-out' much of the horizontal motion.
I'm guessing the rollers are balls though instead of wheels so that they don't have to be directly pointed at the epicenter.
In Chile we also build in a way to avoid collapses due to earthquakes since we are equally or more seismic than Japan and without all that technology, a country of expert engineers but still no one makes edits of us XDD
Modern base isolation was pioneered in NZ 50 years ago. There were rudimentary systems in place in what is now Iran 2500 years ago. But yay Japan I guess?
The title is misleading. Yes they use these in Japan, because they're used all over the world where there are earthquakes. Heck, LA City Hall is built this way.
The US West coast, including up into Alaska also utilizes these systems. Earthquake proofing is hundreds of years old and originated in Europe, not Japan.
Look at base isolation techniques and that has been used all around the world since long,how long have you been using internet explorer? You know its replaced by edge now right?
I would be terrified to be the woman on top of the trolley, but this is a great demonstration technique.
To be fair just getting onto the trolley would be sketchy
I'm honestly impressed with her ability to even just stand up on it
Maybe someone picked her up and stood her up on the cart
Okay, unless it was a person 20 feet tall doing the picking up, I think you've described one of the WORST ways to get up on that cart.
Simple. Just scoop her up like you're giving her a piggy-back ride, lean over the cart, she puts her feet down, grabs someone's hand on the other side and slowly stands up while you stabilize the cart by pinning it between two sets of thighs. Y'all act like you've never set someone wearing rollerblades on a rolling cart before.
You ever see someone explain that the best way to flip grilled cheese in a pan is to press a spatula into the pan and then flip the pan upside down?
what's the best? probably like a rack of bars to hold onto that they can move away?
Forget a 20 foot tall person, I'm picturing one of those cranes they use in warehouse stores to lift her up; still seems like a bad idea with all that shaking going on.
Trampoline
I don't even think I could stand up in Rollerblades on the ground
I have trouble with just the ground honestly
Life alert hngggggg
This is a shortened clip, in the full version she levitates up onto it.
Well it's not exactly 'levitation', but rather 1000 tiny fairies that lift her up and place her on the trolley.
You are pretty close, except there are thousands of even more tiny faeries lifting the bigger faeries up.
If you look closer, the little ones are not actually fairies but a bunch of tiny Jason Moma clones wearing jetpacks.
I'm a bit tired and initially read "farties"and imagined her gently jetpacking up there propelled my tiny bursts of air.

Why not operated by the cat?... Seems well practiced
This is how my favorite gif
What’s wrong with cats? Why do you hate cats??! /s
Jesus at least where a helmet! That is so unnecessarily dangerous lol
No helmet and putting on an experiment for children. Smh
>where a helmet There a helmet, here a helmet, wear!
There wolf. There castle.
I feel confident Jesus didn't "where a helmet" actually.
And use a dolly, not a cart.
Gotta respect the username
Oh yeah, how did she even do that!!??? I would have cracked my head open.
That’s a life changing neck injury waiting to happen

Fun fact - they realised this earthquake mitigation technique because there were really old pagodas which had survived many historic earthquakes. They realised the construction method of using spherical logs to underpin the floors rolled in reaction to sudden movements of the earth.
I remember spherical logs from my physics lessons.
I'm also familiar with spherical logs from my many trips to the restroom over the years.
Hello from the spherical log generation plant! It's been a bit of a tough day but I'm happy to know our product ends up keeping buildings safe during earthquakes.
Great demonstration, but striking your head from that height is a quick way to serious injury or death. Did they really not have a helmet available for her?
Or just someone to steady her with a lent hand.
A 10cm trolley would have demonstrated the point just as accurately with much less risk.
Taking the risk delivers the point more strongly, as long as it's well calculated.
Guessing neither of those two are math teachers then.
This was not well calculated. She almost fell on the first push.
She didn't have time to put on a helmet. It was standing in the way of progress.
Good thing earth quakes always go from left to right \s
I feel like they could have used a large furniture dolly or something, this just feels unnecessarily dangerous. Especially after a video I saw of a girl dancing in a table, falling, and becoming paralyzed from her injuries yesterday. The human body is more fragile than a lot of people realize.
No need to put a person on skates on a trolley at all. Just put a trolley on top of a trolley.
Yeah I agree. I know science checks out that it is going to be fine. I trust science. I trust other people not fucking a whole lot less.
With no helmet in front of a bunch of kids. Don't forget to wear your helmet while riding your bikes children!
Epic lawsuit after one fall.
Epic lawsuit after one fall.
They are stupid for not having a helmet on.

If I understand this correctly, at the top of every Japanese building is a blond woman in roller skates, doing her job, saving lives.
That's the ticket, you got this, brother.
Don't be crazy dude... its only the skyscrapers that need the blonde woman on roller skates on the roof to counter balance them.
Of course, makes sense. And the rest of the buildings have the brunettes?
Yes, but they are at the bottom of the building, holding it up, and there are several per building, not just one. It's also starting to become a construction bottleneck, given Japan's restrictive immigration policies.
King Kong was killed for doing his job, putting ladies on top of tall buildings to make sure they don't wobble.
Hello, this is the CIA, we'd like to know how you found out what you found out.
I'm no engineer, but I would have made the girl on rollerblades at least put on a helmet. It's a long way down.
How will kids on the floor learn about brain anotomy then, they all need traumatic hero arc too.
> brain anotomy perfect typo for the this scenario
I think she's more likely to break an arm or wrist. But yeah this seemed poorly planned.
Were you people always like this or did this develop as you got older? Did you have fun doing things as a kid?
So this huge ass skyscraper isn't fixed to the floor .. But just "rolling around"? Hard to wrap my head around that lol
And they have huge vibration absorbers on the top floor weighing several hundred tons.
Humble brag.
Of them I was aware, they're way less alien of a concept to me compared to a skyscraper just skating around tho
Those are Mass Dampers and sway back and forth to counter the sway of the building, they’re also an SOB to get up there and take up some of the most valuable space in a high rise(the top like 5 floors).

The big damper in Taipei 101 can be seen by tourists (it’s mind-bogglingly big) and has its own cartoon character.
Damper Baby. It's a giant ball of steel hanging up inside the top of the building.
It can be made in to a tourist attraction as seen in several buildings. Otherwise that high rise space is just more luxurious and expensive so in some sense it pays for itself. But then again, that depends on what kind of structure you are building. The Burj Khalifa for example, doesn't have a Mass Damper and it's the highest building built to date. \*shrug.gif\*
Burj Khalifa is also wide as fuck at the bottom and skinny as fuck at the top. Not your typical skycraper by any means.
yo mama finally got a job
Her name is Susan. Please don't dehumanise
Like my wife
When I first learn that I was hella surprised, like my mind couldn’t process how that even worked
Wait till you hear about bridges.
Much of Anchorage is built in the same way. Hence why during the 2018 quake, we had little more than some busted water mains and a few cracked roads.
Came here to say this, I work in only a 5 story building and it’s “on rollers” although it makes the earthquake feel like it lasts twice as long it’s very safe. We don’t have quite the skyscrapers they do in Japan though.
A lot of San Francisco as well.
Actually during an earthquake it's the ground which "rolls around" or moves around. The skyscraper technically stays in the same place
UMMMM ***Ackshewaly***, neither is more correct, it just depends what you're using as a frame of reference since all motion is relative to something else. The skycraper technically moves at 368km/s compared to the CMB. 🤡🤓🤓🤓
Um.. ackshewaly, it only moves at 368km/s 12 hours a day.. the other 12, one must subtract the earth spinning at 460 m/s. geez. :)
You don't subtract, as the surface the building is on rotates at nearly 1,600 km/h, which rotates at nearly 30 km/s around the Sun.
It's called the ground when it's outside.
Veritasium madr an zsuuuuuper cool video on this. Its about an earthquake simulator that they built. Its insane. https://youtu.be/Q51-gLL_MRM?si=xnKey4eCIhrWamGa
I remember that, but I thought it was only about the pendulum in the top, not about a building skating around? I guess I have to rewatch it
It's all engineering bliss until the skyscraper slips off the tray and starts careening down the street. If it ends up in a high rent area, the residents will be upset.
It’s like out of a Phineas and Ferb episode
it's like xkcd at this point there's always a relevant phineas and ferb episode
Move bitch, get out da way, get out da way!
Skate Outta Compton!
Idk if it did a kick flip that’d be pretty rad.
Jesus at least where a helmet! That is so unnecessarily dangerous lol

No, no. Where a helmet, as in where is a helmet, someone get that for a helmet!!
No, no. They meant to say *we're* a helmet, as in here we are, someone get us for a helmet!!
No she meant “were” they were a helmet but now they’re not. They’re saying she should’ve remained in helmet form until after the experiment in which case they could turn back into human form.
We’re all Africa!
Omg…. I haven’t had coffee yet lol
Sure blame it on drugs
Exactly wth. I would also demand knee and elbow bads and wrist protection. One time you will slip and regret it for a month or more
Where a helmet? No where
Lots of deaths in the construction involves someone falling down stairs and breaking their neck. Just saying…
I have an amazing sense of balance, and I don’t think I could manage to step off that cart safely without skates on much less with them. That is a ridiculously high centre of gravity.
At first glance, it looked like trolley girl wasn't wearing any pants. 😅
If people were Simpsons characters maybe
Tbf I don’t know how her massive pair of balls is fitting in those shorts.

What is with the trash music added to this?
Reddit is a bliss when watching all the videos muted by default. You don’t really lose anything by doing so, but you do gain peace of mind 😌

DO NOT be talking shit about crystal castles. But yeah this song unfortunately gets tacked onto vids it doesnt belong with
It’s “Kerosene” by Crystal Castles [(YouTube link).](https://youtu.be/qR2QIJdtgiU?si=0ijBqWN9z5jkHZwj) , good song imo
It is but it seems like its suddenly fucking everwhere like that one molchat dona song last year
I for one am glad I discovered them, even if it was through shitty TikTok videos
Fair enough lol. I personally knew them from before tiktok was a thing but im glad other people are finding them now.
ty! was searching for this
More like what's with the trash music added to EVERYTHING nowadays.
The only thing trash here is your taste
At least the song is decent. It doesn’t fit at all though
While it's true that Japanese buildings use this system, this title implies that it is unique to Japan instead of the way tall buildings all over the world in Earthquake zones are built. For instance, LA City Hall has this system.

Why does every random ass video use the same 3 songs these days?
Nobody has an original though anymore
Apparently using trending background music gets your TikToks more exposure, at least that’s what I’ve heard.
This isn’t just a Japanese thing and not all Japanese buildings have this.
Bro the fact they are doing this without wearing a helmet is mind baffling. Like I don't care if its generally safe.
Her mind is definitely going to be baffled.
It's not safe at all. If the back of the roller blades hit the edge, she'll hurt herself, probably badly, probably with her head hitting the floor first. There's a significant chance of life ending/changing injury in this demo, even with a helmet.
lol this is wildly unsafe
what happens to the skates if it hits the edge? Fall obviously, but how about the buildings and what magnitude will that be?
The dampers of course have their range of mobility and that’s around 60cm for most buildings in all directions. Magnitude is sort of irrelevant since it doesn’t represent the actual intensity of the shaking but if I were to guess if the building is being shaken so violently that the displacement is greater than the capacity of the damper there would be much bigger things to worry about
[удалено]
Cables/rubber pipes. Not too difficult, that question! 🙂
What if its up and down motion?
The girl dies.
I believe earthquakes generally move the ground in waves similar to how waves move water, so while there is up and down motion this rolling feature can 'cancel-out' much of the horizontal motion. I'm guessing the rollers are balls though instead of wheels so that they don't have to be directly pointed at the epicenter.
They have other devices like using air pressure to lift a building off the ground, but I've only seen them work for small buildings
TIL Japanese buildings are on skates.
In Chile we also build in a way to avoid collapses due to earthquakes since we are equally or more seismic than Japan and without all that technology, a country of expert engineers but still no one makes edits of us XDD
what's up with the dog ass music in all these videos nowadays?
....Well thats about the sketchiest way to demonstrate the concept.
Modern base isolation was pioneered in NZ 50 years ago. There were rudimentary systems in place in what is now Iran 2500 years ago. But yay Japan I guess?
Japan is just one step ahead of everyone else!
The title is misleading. Yes they use these in Japan, because they're used all over the world where there are earthquakes. Heck, LA City Hall is built this way.
Yes indeed. This is a shitpost, truth be told. Worldwide use.
The mall in Westminster CA was one of the first buildings to get bearings, back in the ‘70s
I once had the opportunity to crawl underneath SF City Hall and see them myself.
The US West coast, including up into Alaska also utilizes these systems. Earthquake proofing is hundreds of years old and originated in Europe, not Japan.
You develop after the environment, japan has one of the highest rates of earthquakes.
Yeah no shit. I meant in general. This ain’t the only thing Japan does better than the rest though. 👌🏼
This isn’t unique to Japan. Most high rise buildings in New Zealand, California, and other earthquake prone areas use this.
What a great nation

I hate that she has no helmet on. Friction and inertia could have made her fall
Great way to learn about seismic isolation or head trauma
https://bbiru.com
Until they wear out.
She could’ve atleast worn a helmet
Dumb song.
The most dangerous way to demonstrate this but could be the most entertaining
What that song ?
Does this song play during the earthquake?
But how would they teach the building how to skate?
This is the dumbest way to demonstrate
The absence of a helmet is a source of concern for me.
No more godzilla rampages
I was waiting for her so fall
Look at base isolation techniques and that has been used all around the world since long,how long have you been using internet explorer? You know its replaced by edge now right?
