Damn You Suck At Multitasking: Bar Worker Walking And Changing TV Channel Plummets Down 10-Foot Hole

August 28, 2012 / accident, awesome, bar, fall, falling is easy, gaping holes (are the worst holes), get back up here!, having a terrible time, holes, i believe i can fly i believe i can touch the sky think about it every night and day walk over this hole and plummet away, uh-oh, video, walking, wheeeee!, woopsie doopsie, yes yes and more yes, you're not a mole person!, you're not getting paid for the time you're just laying down there moaning i hope you know!

Seen here already walking on air, a bar employee changing the channel on a television unknowingly prepares to plummet down a 10-foot hole in the floor. Why the f*** is there a 10-foot hole in the floor? No clue, but it probably shouldn't be left unattended. That's like city workers removing a manhole cover then going on break without putting up any orange cones. Something awesome is bound to happen.

Eoin was working behind the bar doing sound for bands and such and he was walking looking at the TV and did not see the hole which was actually a small elevator shaft used to bring up towels and such from the basement.

Wow, I feel like that elevator shaft should maybe come up into a little cabinet or something instead of just a gaping hole. Dude is actually okay and only sprained an ankle and knee, but if I were him I'd still be suing for workman's comp or whatever. At least haggle the manager for a free bar tab. YOU ALMOST TOOK MY LEGS YOU SON OF A BITCH.

Hit the jump for the worthwhile video.

Thanks to brushtag (?) and Taryn, who have both seen me trip on cracks in the sidewalk trying to walk my dog and text at the same time. I SAID STOP YOUR LAUGHING.

    No Hogwarts for you! This is a short video of a 10-year old who falls on the train tracks while walking and gaming (not to be confused with walking-and-texting related incidents). He takes a pretty nasty spill, but thank God there was no electrified rail or train coming. PAY... / Continue →

    Wow I feel bad for dude, I mean had he been paying attention he'd have known the hatch was open but still that couldn't have felt nice.

  • i spy a broken ankle

  • Lee Tan

    Remembering those old school walking down stairs skits people do. Only in this one its an elevators cables being cut.

  • most retardedest design ever. RETARDEDEDSTESS.

  • JJtoob

    Dammit Gendo Ikari! How many times has Fuyutsuki told you to leave the elevator up?

  • Nerissa Loren

    Hatches to the basement are pretty common behind bars on the east coast... so is bar employees falling down them

  • RareAwesomeman

    why not activate the elevator and get it to raise him back to the top? then he could emerge like a champion and save face

  • BillGatesIsYourDaddy

    karma for wearing those stupid sunglasses pushed up on his head.

  • Freewebgoods

    yikes, falling that height can break a limb. Thankfully this fellow's alright.

  • MightyMolecule

    what do you expect from a guy whose name could be mistaken for a unit of measurement in quantum physics

  • I love how the other dude just closes the hatch and walks away whistling, gazing at the ceiling.

  • Gill

    Why does nobody help him?

  • Preeeeettty sure the guy that runs off takes the stairs down to the basement. It would just add insult to injury if he too took the express elevator.

  • Just to make things more humiliating, not only a bucket falls on his head but they also just trap him there

  • Freewebgoods

    "While you're down there pick up some more Triple Sec, I'll close this so nobody falls on ya'" -- that's how I would dubbed this.

  • Frag Monger

    "Why the f*** is there a 10-foot hole in the floor?" - See the beer taps right there? Clearly their keg cooler is under the bar & they access it via that trap door. Not the best design ever, but hey.

  • SurroundedByTards

    Clearly you didn't read the rest of it. They used to bring towels and other items up from the basement. It's an old small elevator shaft.

  • n_a_a_s

    there are safer, easier ways into narnia you know....

  • *puts ketchup all over body* im pretty sure i almost died there... im also pretty sure you owe me money or something....
