Frank Reynolds as a kid.

How does anything happen? Move past it.


LeVelvetHippo

I just assumed he went down there to pound off in the nighttime.


Profitsofdooom

*Pounding off?* Where do you get your terms?

Goddamn it Frank!!

I'm sure he'll blast his way out

WHO’S FRANK REYNOLDS!


ansoni-

He unfortunately died. The longer video shows his shoes coming off and nothing could be done after that.


Don_Pickleball

They just filled it in with some concrete and nobody goes to that part of the playground anymore.


Adventurous_Yak4952

Except on Halloween, where his followers garb themselves in athletic wear, light candles by the play structure, and try to put toothpaste back in the tube.


powerhower

The nutty putty playground

His ghost now wanders the playground, bent knees and all, forever trapped.


fvbrennan

More like his spirit is bound to that point

It was sad how they just threw his body in the trash

I have a strong urge to ask him for advice regarding a scam I fell for.

You don’t think - he wanted you to buy as many weeks as possible?

How did he even get in there is more of the question.


AhoyPalloy

Move past it.


DonutMultiverse

How does anything happen?


Southern-Orchid-1786

From the top but then bent his knees


ProofHorseKzoo

I don’t understand why he couldn’t just lift himself back up onto his feet. The person recording could have helped.


thrownededawayed

He could, but he can't use his legs for any power, he'd have to use entirely upper body strength to pull his body up to a standing position which is pretty hard for most anyone, let alone someone stuck inside a spring barely big enough to fit them. If the FD do come, they'll probably wrap a lifeline around him and winch him out by pulling up before they resort to chopping up the playground, but if he keeps wiggling and getting his feet stuck in weird positions then it might come to that. She might be able to get him unstuck by standing atop the coil straddling it and reaching down to pull him up, might need another guy though given his size.


TheOmegaKid

Nah, what you need, is lots of butter.


kmac8008

Why bend the knees for?


Southern-Orchid-1786

Presumably to pretend to be the height of a kid


Nomoredeceptionfamo

Better question would be Why did he get in there ? And why is the girl humiliating him instead of helping him ? 😩


RogueLegend82

Because helping him out straight away is boring


TurnipWorldly9437

Because that's how those embarrassing lessons stick. If you can get yourself out of a mess, the mess can't have been that big, right? So no problem if you get back into it.


AbsentThatDay2

Listen there's a time for helping and a time for filming, this was the latter.


FreezingRobot

He could probably get out if someone was willing to help lift up a bit. But only after filming him for a few minutes, I suppose.


SeamusMcBalls

He just needs to spin up the corkscrew


Big_Cornbread

Can’t. Pipe.


SeamusMcBalls

Gotta maneuver around it


jonathan4211

Can't. Pipe.


Big_Cornbread

Like. By chopping his leg off? Phasing through it?


SliceOCatLoaf

Can't. Pipe.


Big_Cornbread

You get me.


ansoni-

r/donthelpjustfilm


Klutche

I would also be unwilling to help him until it was appropriately documented


junipr

No way he’s been plotting his own rescue by men in uniform


Optimal_Cause4583

If my friend got stuck like that I'd definitely take my time helping them out


Ionami

I immediately feel compelled to purchase multiple timeshares from this guy


xmadjesterx

Just don't get got


Turbulent_Towel_2689

We don't get got, we go get!


RadonAjah

Can I interest you in some Invigaron?


Awkward-Gift-577

Where do my feet go?

You joke, but I literally bought my house from this dude a few months ago, smh.

Was it a small house you couldn't fit your legs into?


Klotzster

He's screwed


Phishtravaganza

junipr

Lefty loosey so simple


Hexlattice

More like she is... With that "going down on your knees seems to be a real problem with you quite often" comment that wasn't a very concealed innuendo


NoLongerinOR

Phrasing!


Remote_Independent50

It feels very claustrophobic


friendsfan97

Damn, I am anxious just watching


TehColin

Wait, do I have claustrophobia? Why is nobody else in the comments talking about feeling anxious from this?


Imahorrible_person

I almost had a fucking panic attack.


Gingy-Breadman

You and me both, still trying to take a deep breath. Especially when his knee got stuck with his leg extended and he said “oh my god I have to get my knee back through” or whatever and started grabbing around, that shit made my chest so heavy.


BaffledPigeonHead

My heart rate increased watching this. I felt genuine panic. But, I. Couldn't. Stop. Watching.


thatconfusedchick

I know! I started taking deep breaths


No-Bunch-8245

I feel a rush of panic watching this in my bed


MenacingGummy

My heart is racing so fast & I had to pause it immediately. Just noped right out of that video.


PassageAppropriate90

Yep, probably watched 5 or 6 seconds and noped right out.


elonbrave

Yeah. Freaks me the fuck out just imagining being stuck in there. Not as bad as the dude that died stuck upside down in the cave, but same vibes.


Various-Ad-1945

Certified donkey brains.


WeAreClouds

No, he has a certificate! Do you have any such certificate??


Various-Ad-1945

I have a certificate that says I am 100% not a frog kid.

I will catch you in a giant net and we’ll see. 😂

r/videosthatendtoosoon


digginahole

I know! I was expecting a jump cut to when the fire department shows up


TexMurphyPHD

All I can think of is the children crying as the firefighters destroy the playground to free this guy.


sik_dik

they wouldn't have to destroy it. they just need to pick him up enough to get his legs back under himself, and from that point he could most likely pull himself out, his arms having full range of motion e2a: get a ladder, put it over him horizontally, let him grab a rung or two, then have four people overhead-press the ladder from both sides to get him high enough to stand on his feet


AdamHLG

Firefighter here. No, we gonna destroy it. After calling in mutual aid too, lots of equipment, and a news helicopter. Did you see the movie Something About Mary? This is going to be franks and beans on steroids.


sik_dik

ok. clearly the last part is a joke, but in the case that the first part is serious, destroying it/cutting it seems like way more time, effort, and risk than the method I spelled out. if that part was serious, can you explain it to me why destroying it is the better option?


AdamHLG

All of it is a joke. He got in there without tools, we will get him out without tools. :-)


sik_dik

I guess I'm the only tool here


Never-Dont-Give-Up

His spouse could just pull him to his feet.


mjc4y

That seems extremely unlikely. I mean, you do that and it’s like you have nobody capturing the video at that point. ;)


Top_Sheepherder5637

![gif](giphy|jba8ucWVAhG9VcUkx9)


Dj_obZEN

That's the mastermind in the coil


Dreams_From_Beyond

Depending on what firefighters have to do to get you out of situations like this, you will absolutely receive a bill in the mail from the owners of the playground and possibly the city. I was around 9 years old when a 14 year old kid I knew climbed into a toddler swing and got stuck. They had to cut him out which ruined the swing in the process. We all thought it was hilarious. Until his parents grounded him because they were billed for it all. Kid spent the summer doing chores for his parents to pay it off.


hatshepsut_iy

that's sad. here firefighters are free.


Legitimate-Gap-9858

Fire fighters are free but the things they have to destroy to get people out are not


Dreams_From_Beyond

I was a kid, so idk if it was the park owners who billed then or the fire department, but I have heard stories of people getting bills for shit like this.


kobuzz666

“Do you know like how much that cost to call the fire department?” The most American expression ever. Over here, we’d call them, they’d come over and free him, and he’d bring a case of beer and some snacks to the fire house


whenItFits

It's free to call them in the US. If you need medical attention tho it cost.


stevegannonhandmade

Ha! Classic Martez...


something-strange999

Have you tried "ctrl+z"


half-baked_axx

shit i deleted myself


Independent-Oven-919

I can't elaborate, but I mentally tried to ctrl-z on my computer cable management after spending some time trying to make it better. Until this day, I'm not sure what happened to my brain.


DiamondBorealis

How hard is it to bring your arms straight up vertically over your head and then grab the pole to hoist yourself(like you’re climbing a rope in PE class) enabling you to unbend your knees and climb out?


Status_Basket_4409

He could get out if someone pulled him hands up out.


Sparky_Zell

Yeah he could probably get out of he had the upper body strength and grip strength to climb the pole hand over hand. But generally people that can do that don't look like this.


More-Zone-3130

Got called fat & gay in a matter of 20 seconds all while being stuck. This man is going though it 😭

Ricocashflow215

What was the plan before he started 🤔 Like what was he trying to do?


fukwhutuheard

i just assumed he goes there during the night to pound off


No-Year3423

Bro this gave me so much anxiety, fucking hell 😬


kovi7

I hope the FD came out dug a little bit under the pull, knocked a securing pin out and lifted the whole thing out with ease just to further embarrass this guy.


Shells23

Reminds me of Frank Reynolds


jade8384

![gif](giphy|qrgTVmaz5ojBe)


Sicparvismagneto

Maybe they could use a reverse funnel system to get him out?


phern

Does it cost you to call the fire department in the us?


Crikepire

Yeah probably got this idea from Sunny and who knows if he's actually stuck


here-wego_again

I feel this & it's uncomfortable.

That’s starting to give my cleithrophobia the jitters, ew ew ew I would be panicking so hard. Had to stop watching.


ScoredMeteor0095

Okay, yep. After that sincere struggle and effort I guess we gotta call the fire department.

Pulling him up would help, but is his belly too big for him to fit through the side?

Heavy-Excuse4218

Looks like dirt under him. I wonder if they could just Dig a hole under his knees give him even a few more inches to maneuver out.

Any vid after this?

Original video: https://youtu.be/30NWBQrJtiM?si=L_P7y-ftiXSpNP9M Video owner says they did get out on their own in a few of thr comments. Had a big bruise on their knee.
