Poor guard, I'm sure he won't get fired for that, and if he does then that's pretty unfair as one can't control heat stress. Hope he's feeling a lot better. 💂♥️
He's a soldier. Doesn't matter if he is from a royal army or democratic or any other. Standing at attention and if one faints then falling flat not buckling. That's what is part of training.
It's amazing how well these soldiers are trained. He went down like a tin soldier. Arms still at the sides. Amazing. I hope he recovered and is not to hard on himself. These things happen.
They have to faint to attention, but I'm not sure whether that means they have to literally smash the ground with their face, or if they can just lie down quickly and put their hands by their sides. I did basic training and never fainted, or asked what the rules were, but I'm pretty sure nobody wants you losing teeth, if you're gonna go down, go down while you're still somewhat conscious.
Not providing them with water or a space to cool off with regular intervals is cruel and totally unnecessary. Those bearskin hats should be reserved for the winter. Summer uniforms are a way of introducing the 21st century and acknowledging global warming. A young man fainting because of a heatstroke is absurd and dangerous.

@@justinereynolds4261 Do you really think that poor guy would embarress himself by doing such a stupid thing? Those uniforms and bearskin are incredibly hot on a day like that!
It's called fainting to attention. There's a certain order to it, if footguards feel like they are to pass out, they collapse forward if they're in a unit of one rank. If its two ranks and you're in the rear, you collapse backwards. This is the reason why guardsmen form up in two ranks during Trooping the Colour. Mind you, as far as I'm aware it's exceptional for the household division only. During my dad's time in the RAF, he certainly would've gotten reprimanded or yelled at by his OC, as No.1's aren't necessarily hot to be in, even on a hot day. If a day was too hot, they wouldn't have done any foot drill of any sort for safety concerns.
All these fools in here saying “don’t lock ya knees” clearly have no idea how hot it gets for those guards out there. Locking your knees is not the only reason someone passes out when standing at attention.

I can’t believe so many people condone the fact that they make guards stand and not move, like no human would EVER do, for hours and hours on end. I think it’s insane and shouldn’t be looked at as the man being a martyr. If she cared about her fellow countrymen, she would make it so that none of this nonsense was done. I understand that she’s dead, but they always had the stand outside the palace like this. Ridiculous.
That's why they teach cadets early on, always wiggle your toes tighten leg muscles and butt to keep blood flowing. All well and good, but when you're on a parade ground for hours listening to speeches in 35C all dressed up you can be sure someone will pass out.
I understand their roles and how they're supposed to stand still..in other videos when one "colleague" falls and another guardsman rushes to help, I find it admirable and honourable. Standing still doing nothing like "I am not allowed to move" is BS. These guardsman are elite and can be called to war. When one falls, you help each other. When you're NOT in a war and it's a show....you have no excuse to just ignore a 'fallen' soldier 🙄....what if he had a heart attack and those moments mean a life or death
Trato inhumano a los guardias en pleno siglo XXI. La vida de cualquier ser humano está por encima de cualquier protocolo. Su compañero ni se podía mover para practicarle primeros auxilios mientras llegaban los de la camilla. Esto podría causarle la muerte a alguien, si es que no ha sucedido ya con anterioridad. Espero que ese pobre hombre se encuentre bien.
the one guard stood beside him could at least go check immediately and give some immediate aid if necessary. protocol could always be adjusted, be more humane.
Unfortunately due to protocol he would have lost his job if he had assisted in anyway.! It’s inhuman in my opinion. Remember the one that saluted the queen and accidentally hit a young little girl? He couldn’t even turn and apologise. He later left and spoke ‘how guilty he felt.!
@@irishdeetalks oooh yess so these rules i feel are somewhat insane for in case if there could be emergency and life could be lost instant before the help is provided ..how gulity it will prove to be?? so instant action should be carried out by the guards nearby without any threat over of losing job

When I attended my brothers celebration for finishing Army bootcamp he was told at least one person has pass out during graduation ceremonies for as far back as they could remember. Apparently it’s from keeping their legs locked straight while standing for long periods of time is what causes it.
That video did not show the moment falling down .. Who saw him during his face directly tooks the ground? May be that video is just a proof made days before the parade as an exercitation. Who knows? It so weird
what is this kind of work where you are tortured in the heat and your colleague can’t even help you while standing next to you? They need to review this.

This happens quite often to be honest. During my pledge three guys passed out. We had to wait standing still for over an hour because someone from the military band forgot the tuba...
Don't lock your knees, thats what my Drill Instructor told us that in the Marine Corps. I never passed out also I always wiggled my toes to keep the circulation going.

When I was in the military we used to talk about this all the time, trying to come up with strategies to protect ourselves from fainting during ceremonies. It’s not that you’re standing too long, some people are just susceptible.
"It's not that you're standing too long".... I beg to differ. Wiggle the toes inside your boots/shoes, to keep circulation going. Try to relax the knees---without any movement... It works. Usually. But!!! VERY long ceremonies performed in bitter cold ("order arms" in slow motion because your arms/fingers/body are frozen. Everyone) or excessive heat, can get to the best of us. Being well - hydrated helps too. The susceptibility part: you're probably right. My daughter had some issues when she was in the Navy. But, then, she's a redhead. They always faint.
After standing so long to pay respects to a dead man, the man fell ill. Alas, the imperialist The British Empire is a history written in the blood of the people of Asia and Africa The blood of Asians and Africans is in every nook and cranny of the luxurious life of the British Empire

Pauvre homme. On ne se rend pas réellement compte de la difficulté qu’implique de rester en station debout et immobile ! Espérons qu’il aille beaucoup mieux 🙏
I remember going to a concert with my brother bring surrounded by people and my brother fainted. I remember telling people to back up and give him some room. I was able to revive him. Scariest moment in my life. Never knew why it happened.
I remember being at a meeting in work one summer standing in a group listening and someone passed out. He was caught before he hit the floor by 3 or so others and cooling supplies and first aid rushed for and not a hint of any meeting being carried on and it make me glad to know if it happened to me I wouldn’t be surrounded in guys with daft hats and red coats who pretend they didn’t see me because they are afraid they will get shouted at when they get back to barracks.
I was in marching band my freshman year of high school. In order to participate you have to attend a band camp during the summer where you learn marching and formation. It was like being in the military and the band director made members of the band stand at attention for extended periods of time out in the hot sun. It was awful. But the main thing I learned is as you stand in one place sweating your ass off in a uniform that weighs 5 lbs holding an instrument to your lips, you cannot lock your knees or you will faint within minutes.
I was in the Army for 6 years and one of the worst parts of it was standing at parade rest for hours on end. My shoulders and arms would tense up so bad it was insane. I felt like I was going to dislocate something for sure
How does locking your knees contribute to fainting? I see this phrase used a lot in relation to guardsmen fainting, but I don't understand how it relates.
May all our COLONIES (Ireland + Scotland + Wales + CANADA + Australia + New Zealand + South Africa + Malta + Cyprus + India + Singapore + Malaysia + Sri Lanka...) kneel down in this moment!🙏 🙏 May they continue understanding that without English guidance they are nothing!! God bless KING CHARLES III & the superior ENGLISH EMPIRE! ❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
Goes back centuries Malborough/Wellington/Waterloo, when soldiers fought in large squares & marched to engage enemy & if you fell shot the troop squares marched over & on. Hence it's rmbrd here the same way but candle🕯️vigils will be held🤮.
Poor guard!!! 😭😭 he shouldn’t deserve to get fired... and if he does I strongly feel that it isn’t fair because people can’t control what’s going on inside of them, or even heat stress ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please understand that as a non Brit, my first instinct would be to help. I know the guard has to stand and do nothing but that’s just not my first thought.
People complaining here, evidently haven’t seen the video where a little girl gives the Queen flowers, as the Queen starts walking away A Guard salutes the Queen And Hits the little Girl on the face, head knocking her hat off( she screams) the Queen & Guard totally Ignored the little girl, Queen kept walking, Guard never looked down or to the side to see what he had done🤦🏻♀️
Well he looked dead to me so I hope he is ok and will recover well. What a ghastly thing to happen to him. Will we ever know what happened to the poor fellow. Very colourful pageantry but physically brutal for these chaps that serve. Imagine standing guard like a statue during hours. I could not do it not for love, money or king and country.

I used to work with a lady who's dauther is on the video helping the guard and she was so SO proud of her daughter! She showed first page of newspaper to anyone who listened and not haha. Her mum works in hospital. She is an amazing hca and since qualified to become a nurse.
Why didn't the guard standing by him go to his rescue? Most likely, he probably would've gotten fired for helping the fallen/sick guard. TOTALLY RIDICULOUS!!

@@justinereynolds4261 Do you really think that poor guy would embarress himself by doing such a stupid thing? Those uniforms and bearskin are incredibly hot on a day like that!
It's called fainting to attention. There's a certain order to it, if footguards feel like they are to pass out, they collapse forward if they're in a unit of one rank. If its two ranks and you're in the rear, you collapse backwards. This is the reason why guardsmen form up in two ranks during Trooping the Colour.
Mind you, as far as I'm aware it's exceptional for the household division only. During my dad's time in the RAF, he certainly would've gotten reprimanded or yelled at by his OC, as No.1's aren't necessarily hot to be in, even on a hot day. If a day was too hot, they wouldn't have done any foot drill of any sort for safety concerns.

Locked knees. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke can be life threatening. No one helped him.
I can’t believe so many people condone the fact that they make guards stand and not move, like no human would EVER do, for hours and hours on end. I think it’s insane and shouldn’t be looked at as the man being a martyr. If she cared about her fellow countrymen, she would make it so that none of this nonsense was done. I understand that she’s dead, but they always had the stand outside the palace like this. Ridiculous.
That's why they teach cadets early on, always wiggle your toes tighten leg muscles and butt to keep blood flowing. All well and good, but when you're on a parade ground for hours listening to speeches in 35C all dressed up you can be sure someone will pass out.

@@skreety0455 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I understand their roles and how they're supposed to stand still..in other videos when one "colleague" falls and another guardsman rushes to help, I find it admirable and honourable. Standing still doing nothing like "I am not allowed to move" is BS. These guardsman are elite and can be called to war. When one falls, you help each other. When you're NOT in a war and it's a show....you have no excuse to just ignore a 'fallen' soldier 🙄....what if he had a heart attack and those moments mean a life or death
This is because the colleague knows that medics will arrive (as seen in the video), and that stopping the show would do literally nothing.
Trato inhumano a los guardias en pleno siglo XXI. La vida de cualquier ser humano está por encima de cualquier protocolo. Su compañero ni se podía mover para practicarle primeros auxilios mientras llegaban los de la camilla. Esto podría causarle la muerte a alguien, si es que no ha sucedido ya con anterioridad. Espero que ese pobre hombre se encuentre bien.
Sr. Eric, eso mismo pienso yo.
Sólo en una *Sociedad* *Creativa* está la vida Humana en primer lugar, y se hace todo lo posible para asegurarla y mejorarla.
pienso lo mismo, para una muerte van a matar gente viva y jovenes.
Lloron
Man still held his stance even after falling to the ground passed out, that’s some serious detication
Thank you for your service.
the one guard stood beside him could at least go check immediately and give some immediate aid if necessary. protocol could always be adjusted, be more humane.
Unfortunately due to protocol he would have lost his job if he had assisted in anyway.! It’s inhuman in my opinion. Remember the one that saluted the queen and accidentally hit a young little girl? He couldn’t even turn and apologise. He later left and spoke ‘how guilty he felt.!
@@irishdeetalks oooh yess so these rules i feel are somewhat insane for in case if there could be emergency and life could be lost instant before the help is provided ..how gulity it will prove to be?? so instant action should be carried out by the guards nearby without any threat over of losing job

what is this kind of work where you are tortured in the heat and your colleague can’t even help you while standing next to you? They need to review this.

When I was in the military we used to talk about this all the time, trying to come up with strategies to protect ourselves from fainting during ceremonies. It’s not that you’re standing too long, some people are just susceptible.
Absolutely and if you fall out you get smoked later
"It's not that you're standing too long".... I beg to differ.
Wiggle the toes inside your boots/shoes, to keep circulation going. Try to relax the knees---without any movement... It works. Usually. But!!!
VERY long ceremonies performed in bitter cold ("order arms" in slow motion because your arms/fingers/body are frozen. Everyone) or excessive heat, can get to the best of us.
Being well - hydrated helps too. The susceptibility part: you're probably right. My daughter had some issues when she was in the Navy. But, then, she's a redhead. They always faint.

I was in marching band my freshman year of high school. In order to participate you have to attend a band camp during the summer where you learn marching and formation. It was like being in the military and the band director made members of the band stand at attention for extended periods of time out in the hot sun. It was awful. But the main thing I learned is as you stand in one place sweating your ass off in a uniform that weighs 5 lbs holding an instrument to your lips, you cannot lock your knees or you will faint within minutes.
I'm glad you lived through band camp. It gets even gnarlier from there.
This one time at band camp 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was in the Army for 6 years and one of the worst parts of it was standing at parade rest for hours on end. My shoulders and arms would tense up so bad it was insane. I felt like I was going to dislocate something for sure
Same as I just commented! It happens quick! You don’t have to be there for hours!
How does locking your knees contribute to fainting? I see this phrase used a lot in relation to guardsmen fainting, but I don't understand how it relates.
