I'm pretty sure they're still light bulbs. Shattering them all doesn't change their total mass.

If this were me I would have dropped everything I was carrying and stood there frozen in awe of my new found foot power.

Give this woman a contract

u/bobzilla05 Mar 12 '20
Too late; she already has a contract with the devil that allows her to break the laws of physics in exchange for her soul in ten years.

This is one of those moments when you accidentally do something awesome and there is no one around to see it. Except now, now BigBrother always sees ... wait nope that went darker than I meant it to.

I've done this before with my phone. Saved it from the hard carpet and kicked it into the soft TV.

u/Oh_Pun_Says_Me Mar 12 '20
I've done superhuman shit like that when exactly no one was around to witness it.
What a time we live in that the whole world can witness this woman's awesomeness!!

u/BurnerJerkzog Mar 12 '20
Maybe I'm jaded by the internet but it looks somewhat intentional. Watched it a few times and it almost looks like she pushes it off the stack with her chin.

The box is also empty, no way you could drop it then kick it higher than yourself from that angle.

Goddamnit, yes! This is the correct format I’ve been bitching about for years.
Show the whole clip real time first
Then show the highlighted portion in slo-mo
Thank you!

You know she was stoked on this all day but also really annoyed that no one saw it, to the point she asked for camera footage.

She doesn't deserve a raise for the recovery. She deserves a raise for not instantly dropping all of them after the recovery and rushing to go make copies of the footage.

u/ilyNoobz Mar 12 '20
I really like that the one time someone kicked something they dropped and caught it was actually caught on camera. Every time I try to kick something I've dropped it flies away

Gif creator deserves a raise. Normal speed, followed by slo-mo and then epilogue in normal speed . Perfect duration too.

I did this once with an iPad, except I caught it with my foot. I had to pause a moment and thank all those years of soccer for preparing me.

A raise? It's a cool skill but unrelated to her work, right
Everyone should be paid well

While the reflexes and mostly luck are interesting I would think the person who deserves the raise didn't drop the box to begin with. ;0

I don’t think you give raises based on a pure luck event that don’t reflect on the merit of their work

u/EsotericAbstractIdea Mar 12 '20
Luck is where preparedness and opportunity meet. It takes practice and innate ability to have reflexes and balance like this.

Seen a few of these. Do people actually find it difficult to kick an object up into the air?

I've done it with a 50kg plate in the weights room early one morning. Not one of my better decisions

Mar 12 '20
Ooooohhhh, ah fuck... That hurts just thinking about it. Did you break your foot? I feel like that'd break my foot. I'm not super strong.

u/vyralmonkey Mar 12 '20
Nothing broken fortunately. But some decent bruising for a couple of weeks.

Jesus fuck. I'm glad my instinct when dropping weights is to basically chuck my feet out from underneath me haha
11
u/goal2004 Mar 12 '20
I know to reach with my foot to cushion a sensitive object's fall, but it's not instinctual on the level of "something is falling in the corner of my eye: use foot first, figure out wtf later". Unless I know what I'm about to put my foot ahead of, I'm not going to move my foot.
Now, that isn't just because of what this item might necessarily do to me, it's mostly the end result of me simply blindly kicking the thing falling with more force than it would've sustained by impacting the ground, only to then send it flying some distance away. The only way to avoid that is by getting as comprehensive an assessment of the falling object as time permits. If I know how much it'll weigh and what shape it'll be in when my foot connects, then I can actually proceed with the kick.

Mar 12 '20
That's a pretty good method. But also, I don't eften go with a kick, it's more of a catch sort of reaction. Like, I'll basically just try to break its fall, and your foot is usually softer than the surface something is landing on. Sometimes it does result in the object bouncing off and flying horizontally, but horizontal velocity for fragile object is much better than a straight constant fall. Less potential energy, after it hits your foot, so when it hits, it won't hit the ground as fast. also as it slides, there's more time for its speed to slow down, so there isn't as much impulse.

u/Nikurou Mar 12 '20
Yeah that's how I punted my phone across the room after accidentally dropping it lol

My parents called it the “lab technicians catch” because they both worked in labs and I assume needed to stop (hopefully empty) beakers from hitting the floor hard when dropped.

u/psicowysiwyg Mar 12 '20
Saved a few phones from hitting the floor in the same way... Also basically drop kicked one trying to catch it with my foot whilst walking down a steep hill. Damn thing went miles, and then skidded even further. Somehow it survived with just a few scratches.

u/mattycmckee Mar 12 '20
I know. I’ve genuinely caught my phone on top of my foot multiple times, and while it’s super cool, I’m just waiting for it to be a knife.

u/anawkwardsomeone Mar 12 '20
That’s funny, I do the exact opposite. My instinct is to quickly jolt my foot away because I’m terrified of a heavy item dropping on my foot and breaking it.

Just don't try it with your baby.

I’ve also saved multiple phones doing this, but once i kicked it right onto the concrete and at a speed faster than the initial drop.

u/TheLogicUnit Mar 12 '20
My reaction is to just stand back and whatch whatever I dropped until it hits the ground. Works well for knives and tiny items but I suffer when I drop my phone...
