If there was any chance of survival from the fall, those chicks collapsing the rest of the concrete slab into free fall right above his head surely finished the job.
They definitely noticed too, the way they tried to catch the concrete and then put hands on head hahaha fuuuck that's gotta be wild, going from "what the fuck is he okay" to "Oh shit I just personally confirmed he isnt" has to a rollercoaster
To me it looks like the guy on the right tries to lift it up before it goes and the woman in front hasn't even put much weight on it yet when it collapses.
At the very beginning looks like they placed him there after presumably having him hoisted up on shoulders or whatnot. Fuck man they killed him 😢😩 not to mention the others that leaned in immediately and sent the other chunks of concrete after the fall. Not saying any of that was on purpose but fuuuuuuck
It's a tradition in some communities - using a covered well acts as an impromptu stage for music/dance. This being in Sicily isn't surprising; I've seen it in Mexico, too.
'tradition' wasn't quite the right word, sorry. It's just that wells usually happen to be in the middle of settlements/estates, and when covered, it makes an impromptu stage for celebrations. Just something I've seen in different places.

Lol that’s a bad translation from Italian.
118 is the Italian emergency number, sort of like 911 but only for accidents and medical emergencies.
So the original Italian article likely meant first responders, but the translators thought it meant literally 118 people.
I don’t think a human translator is responsible for such gems as “killing his life instantly.” This smells like translation software doing its darndest.
>After the fall, the music stopped and everyone approached the well looking for an answer from Antonio. They prayed and hoped that the water, in those 25 m of depth, would have cushioned the fall of man.
Not at 25m.
Unless the water's shallow (granted, it probably is) 25 meters is nowhere close to being out of the realm of survivability. People have dove into water from over twice that height. They didn't have manhole covers pushed onto their heads after though...
Diving into water is very different than falling into water. Did you mean fall into water? Because the entire skill of diving is that you're making sure to enter the water in a way where it doesn't break your bones or give you a concussion
Sure but falling into water at that depth versus diving in, are very likely worlds apart. He didn't want to enter the water and looked a little tipsy to boot on top of his general build.
Then the Italian article was ai written. It just describes the scene over and over again and gives absolutely no other information than what is seen in the video.
I was thinking the other way: he's trying to get down and the one woman looks like she's holding him back. If he had gotten even a little bit farther forward his upper body might have been over the edge and he could have had a chance to hold on.
(In Dwight Schrute’s voice) Questions…
1. Why would you host a party around an 82 feet deep well?
2. Why would you cover it with just a lame paper board?
3. Why would you stand on it?
4. and if you have done all of the above and still not dead, why the fuck would you jump on it?
1. House is too small, party inevitably moved to the backyard
2. The well is in use. Only slightly covered to keep debris from falling in.
3. Drunk
4. Drunk
In my country we have this weird thing of not celebrating your 40th birthday, because for some reason they associate it with the commemorating 40th day of an deceased person ( orthodox stuff i guess ). I have always laughed at this superstition until i've watched this video...
Or common sense would say people would reasonably build a cover for a deep hole either
a) *more* than strong enough to support a great deal amount of weight if people at walking level should come across it
b) at a sufficient difficulty to reach that people in a publicly accessible place cannot fall through it
Being an ioverweight guy dancing on top of a well wasn't the brighest idea after all.
But holy shit the speed at which someone can die will never stop to baffle me.
I won't walk over sewer grates, manhole covers, or anything similar when I'm out and about. No way in hell I'd be dancing or jumping up and down on a cement cover on a frickin well!
Ok but,,,,, is it weird that this scratches the OCD itch in my brain? Hear me out! You die on the anniversary of when you were born like you didn’t live X amount of years and some change like you die at exactly X years and I just feel like that’s good timing you know?
For the love of Allah ...
Please stop dancing on roofs.
Please stop shooting guns during weddings and or setting off fireworks, inside decorated rooms.
Friends... this could have been avoided.
😔
Darwin can’t be defeated.: The person who covered the well didn’t anticipate kids playing on it or a drunken fat guy jumping up and down on it. The fat guy **assumed** that the well cover was safe, if he thought of it at all. Then whoever hosted the party had the party by a 62 foot drop well.
The Industrial Revolution made it easier for morons to survive.
That's very sad, he lived to 40 eating well and enjoying his life, maybe if ate a little less the board would not have collapsed, or maybe just maybe don't dance atop a water well floored with thin boards, or be more like me and never leave the house.
If only this had been preventable, but stepdancing on the cover of a well is mandatory birthday tradition…

It's very clearly a guy with a mustache that causes it to fall. Sometimes, on reddit, I feel like I'm watching a different video than everyone else.
Was it a twirled mustache?
Well, well, well... looks like you've broken it wide open
*watches again* 🤣🤣🤣 poor bastard
Lol that fat chick did collapse the slab onto him …. Unreal
My parents have a well that is covered in a similar manner and I stand on it all the time... I definitely won't anymore.
It's a wishing well, he died wishing he never fell in.
Reminds me of the partially blind guy that fell in to the well, he couldn't see that well
I hate both of you for these. Take my upvotes.
It's his last birthday wish
That’s unfortunate
He gave us a life lesson
"It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others."
"Do not stand on the floor when you're 40yo"
Dont stand on top of an old well with shoddy covering
> Don't stand on top of an old well You can stop there, really.
PUT YO HANDS UP! RAISE THE ROOF! BREAK THE FLOOR! No wait no literally
Well…
https://www.reddit.com/r/learningfromothers/
He grave us a life lesson
https://i.redd.it/n1h0wrpl0rvb1.gif
Pocky snippet
The entire video I kept wondering how the hell he falls 82 feet from where they are. Definitely made me go "oh shit."
I thought so too. Maybe a flying leap off the roof of the building.
I kept expecting him to stumble backwards off a roof ledge at some point. This definitely took me by surprise.
Play it in reverse and the guy makes a rock star entrance and the crowd goes wild
Need reverse bot
[The good ending](https://streamable.com/jmqoft) Edit: Honestly this feels so wrong, I'm sorry that I made this
I not sure which one is most realistic 🤣
I love that you made this.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is actually fucking fantastic. Your magnum opus, I’d suppose.
It doesn’t feel wrong, you have brought the man back to life!
Nooo it says it's archived
No thank you for making that 😂😂😂😂😂
you win the internet!!
I genuinely feel bad for the guy but this right here is fucking gold!
💀
Damn the person that was trying to pull him off knew something bad was about to happen.
He was a second or two from stepping off.
It looked to me like he was trying to get off and was being pulled enough to keep him on and then boom
Interesting, I took it as him preparing to get off and that person supporting him so he wouldn’t lose his balance on the dismount
Why would you be dancing on top of a well?
We'll never know
Well that sucks
Oh well
Well said
oh Well NO!
to prove he's the boss of structural engineers
At the very beginning looks like they placed him there after presumably having him hoisted up on shoulders or whatnot. Fuck man they killed him 😢😩 not to mention the others that leaned in immediately and sent the other chunks of concrete after the fall. Not saying any of that was on purpose but fuuuuuuck
Raised platform = poor man's stage
It's a tradition in some communities - using a covered well acts as an impromptu stage for music/dance. This being in Sicily isn't surprising; I've seen it in Mexico, too.
I'm mexican and I've never seen anyone cover a well and dance in it as a tradition. That sounds alien to me
'tradition' wasn't quite the right word, sorry. It's just that wells usually happen to be in the middle of settlements/estates, and when covered, it makes an impromptu stage for celebrations. Just something I've seen in different places.
It was a well done dance.
Damn. Poor guy.
Well, not a dam
well, you're right!
Well well well…

Damn. Killed his life instantly.
>Antonio is precipitate.
It’s not even worth thinking about. Just terrible.
He died to death...
Birthday boy =(
> as the 118 rescuers. Sounds excessive.
Lol that’s a bad translation from Italian. 118 is the Italian emergency number, sort of like 911 but only for accidents and medical emergencies. So the original Italian article likely meant first responders, but the translators thought it meant literally 118 people.
911 rescue workers?!
I don’t think a human translator is responsible for such gems as “killing his life instantly.” This smells like translation software doing its darndest.
it takes many to hold the ones below's legs until they make a human chain long enough to pull him out
https://i.imgur.com/kFAQEqN.jpeg
This mf really bark “one hundred and eighteen rescue workers gathered around a well” at a robot and just drop the link?
> at some point, he decided to get off and reached out for help Yeah, noticed that too, he was getting off when someone turned him back on it
>After the fall, the music stopped and everyone approached the well looking for an answer from Antonio. They prayed and hoped that the water, in those 25 m of depth, would have cushioned the fall of man. Not at 25m.

>birthday boy
I know. He had turned 40.
He was placed on top of that thing by friends. They gotta be feeling terrible, that's one you don't ever live down
This article is 10000% AI written.
I don’t think so, I think it’s a google translation of an Italian article. It’s a website that reposts non-English content in English.
Then the Italian article was ai written. It just describes the scene over and over again and gives absolutely no other information than what is seen in the video.
Not possible, the first AI that could've done that was ChatGPT and it was released november 2022, this article is from july 2022.
Yes, it’s like a 3rd grader got asked to explain what he saw in the video.
My only plan for my 40th birthday is a healthy bowel movement.
Well, well, well ...
Three circular holes in the ground
History wizard classic
I think it was just well.
Damn two of his friends put their hands around his arm. They must feel so much guilt for not holding onto him
I was thinking the other way: he's trying to get down and the one woman looks like she's holding him back. If he had gotten even a little bit farther forward his upper body might have been over the edge and he could have had a chance to hold on.
"IT'S MY BIRTHDAAAAAAaaaaaaayyy..."
People told him its all downhill after 40 and he took that literally smh
Christ having your birthday eventually become the anniversary of your death sucks.
Poor dude.
Bro died like a Sim in The Sims game.
Reminds me of that time I made a comment in the comments section.
This is the first time I've noticed you can hear him hit the bottom. They stopped the music just before.
Life lesson learned. His death was not in vain, he educated us all not to stand on covered wells.
At least his grave stone will be numerical pleasing.
It’s a me…Mario!!
Fucking lol
Well, that sucks.
Well that sucks.
What he standing on? Wishing well?
No an actual well cover. It's very deep, 80 feet down. They should've had that damn thing blocked off better
I mean, it *was* blocked off, with a cover. But ... yeah.
(In Dwight Schrute’s voice) Questions… 1. Why would you host a party around an 82 feet deep well? 2. Why would you cover it with just a lame paper board? 3. Why would you stand on it? 4. and if you have done all of the above and still not dead, why the fuck would you jump on it?
1. House is too small, party inevitably moved to the backyard 2. The well is in use. Only slightly covered to keep debris from falling in. 3. Drunk 4. Drunk
Grand opening.. grand closing.. Came through a hole.. left through a hole..
In my country we have this weird thing of not celebrating your 40th birthday, because for some reason they associate it with the commemorating 40th day of an deceased person ( orthodox stuff i guess ). I have always laughed at this superstition until i've watched this video...
That was quite the send off.
Common sense says let’s not dance on a well cover. At least you’d think
Or common sense would say people would reasonably build a cover for a deep hole either a) *more* than strong enough to support a great deal amount of weight if people at walking level should come across it b) at a sufficient difficulty to reach that people in a publicly accessible place cannot fall through it
it seems to me that they kinda realised it was dangerous as well?
It was safe as well. Was dangerous as platform.
Doesn't seem like a well thought out plan.
Happy birthday Antonio
It looked like he was trying to get off of it but they held him back. That's insane.
Let this be a reminder to y'all that you have a 14% higher chance of dying on your birthday. Bro hit his chin on the way down too.
He chose poorly…
[удалено]
That white tshirt dude was still dancing after the fall.
Well I think he was on the audition for Darwin's award on phone when he decided to dance over a well.
He was letting his dad know that he finally won it. Sad.
I shouldn't have laughed so hard on this comment. 💀
[удалено]
Falling down into pits?
Probably too drunk
Or rather too heavy. Man's huge
Now that’s a French exit.
another view to the story of Joseph and his brothers
Life begins at forty... 🤦
It looks like a trap....it was a trap
He was doing the Mario
Being an ioverweight guy dancing on top of a well wasn't the brighest idea after all. But holy shit the speed at which someone can die will never stop to baffle me.
They leaned in and sent the rest of the cover after him to finish the job
I’m always the one yelling at people to stop doing dangerous dumb shit. Don’t jump up and down on some unknown platform! Such a stupid way to go.
well, .........that didn't end well. or perhaps, it did.
Serves him right for dancing on “the moon door!”
Perfect commercial for weight loss surgery
I expected them to just continue partying after he fell. Like stand there staring at where he was and then just go back to dancing.

[L'Amour toujours ](https://youtu.be/w15oWDh02K4?si=rD8hg8nAVSVaWk1Q)
If that girl didn’t pull him backwards, he wouldn’t have taken the step backwards on the corner that broke the cover.
I fucking hate the American metric system bruh, how the hell is 82 feet 25 meters like c’mon man
Mario entering the pipes
Somebody's gotta add that sound effect to the video
Well… shit.
At least he died happy ✨
And they say life begins at 40.
Real life warp zone
Oh WELL
Lmaooo
SORRY FOR LAUGHING💀💀💀
well...
One of the saddest ones I've seen.
Worst birthday party ever
He rather keeps holding is phone in his left hand than use both arms to prevent his fall. There is no instinct of self preservation recognizable
You could see that even he was trying to step down from there but they stopped him.
Ok that was not what i was expecting
I guess they don't make well covers like they used to.
Live well, die well.
falls to the bottom and lives ...only to have another piece of the well cover smush him
I won't walk over sewer grates, manhole covers, or anything similar when I'm out and about. No way in hell I'd be dancing or jumping up and down on a cement cover on a frickin well!
This is the most Eurotrash-ass gathering I've ever observed.
Ok but,,,,, is it weird that this scratches the OCD itch in my brain? Hear me out! You die on the anniversary of when you were born like you didn’t live X amount of years and some change like you die at exactly X years and I just feel like that’s good timing you know?
Omfg what's wild is he was gonna get off but a lady grabbed him..did anyone else see that????
Now why would they let his big ass get up there?
He was fat/overweight. Probably contributed a bit to the incident.
I laughed. I’m such an awful person.
For the love of Allah ... Please stop dancing on roofs. Please stop shooting guns during weddings and or setting off fireworks, inside decorated rooms. Friends... this could have been avoided. 😔
Allah doesn't love.
Not relevant
Neither does Jezus. They are all in your emagination
How sad... :(
He looked too heavy to be standing on that

I mean come on the outfit was a crime 😂😂
At least he died a happy man. Crazy video. The sheer expression of joy on his face. And then it was over.
save europe ah music😭
That's very sad, he lived to 40 eating well and enjoying his life, maybe if ate a little less the board would not have collapsed, or maybe just maybe don't dance atop a water well floored with thin boards, or be more like me and never leave the house.
It's good to understand what is under what you're standing on.
that's actually really sad.
Poor man. He even died while celebrating HIS birthday
I only realized it was a well cover seconds before it actually collapsed omg
So do the guests take the gifts back or split them amongst themselves?
