So true. Even logically, I would know it's not my fault. But I would always think "if I had only strapped that thing tighter" and "why would this happen to such a person?" forever.
I imagine it bouncing actually gave it more speed, things can only fall a certain speed (Terminal Velocity) so if it bounces on the side of something it could cause the item to gain speed instead of lose it.
@@Icotheus bruh as something falls its potential energy decreases. Its kinetic energy increases until it hits terminal velocity. The moment it reaches the ground it has no potential energy, only kinetic. And a collision CANT create more energy. And since the mass of the tape measure doesn’t change, and since the earth is effectively still, the tape can’t get any energy from the kinetic energy of the earth. You can look at the equation for kinetic energy (k=0.5*mass*velocity^2) you can see that every method of increasing the velocity, as I explained above, is not possible.
Its so cruel, I would understand a hammer or a sharp object, but a tape measure makes it that much worse, that plus the fact that it actually bounced before striking the worker.

I’m foreman at a tree cutting company and I can’t stress enough to my guys that a hard hat is the difference from getting a head ache and getting killed
I’m 21 and grew up doing tree cutting also cause of my father’s company and we never worn a helmet once 🤷🏽♂️ we call out our cuts and make sure everyone’s always paying attention looking up. I understand they help but you just gotta be aware at all times. My dads ran that company before I was born and never had an accident
Absolutely. I had a dock leveler fall off of a forklift as I was standing underneath it for maintenance. My hard hat was the difference between a broken and nearly ripped off nose and possibly having my head smashed. Wear your helmets, guys. Mine might’ve saved my life.
That's true. Anyone who acts like you can avoid every single accident hasn't been doing it long enough. Crazy stuff happens, I've cut down big old trees and seen pieces of limbs weighing well over a hundred pounds bouncing 30+ feet in the air when the tree hits the ground. And old limbs giving way while your dropping the tree. Any of that hits you without a hard hat you're done. I didn't wear one either when I was young and dumb
Imagine living your whole 58 years of life, starting a family, getting a job, and then doing something that you probably do daily, just to get taken out by a fallen tape measure. Life is brutal, RIP.
i can't imagine being almost twice my age and being so inbred and dense that i neglect safety equipment. especially in favor of a myhtical magical sky daddy....what a joke.
I was walking out of a jobsite in bigsky Montana. A crew was cutting a hole from the interior to exterior 4 floors up. As I was walking out of the building a hot metal disc fell onto my upper arm creating a deep wide cut. You can be a safe a possible and something, anything can still happen. I had my hard hat on but that didn't help my arm. I'm sure this godly man is in the arms of the lord. God rest his soul.
My high school was two stories and had an open design, meaning when you went outside a classroom, you were literally outside. The science classes were on the second floor which only had a cement railing with wide horizontal openings to keep you from falling off. Once we were outside doing some experiment with cylinder weights. A five pound weight fell over and started rolling to the edge of the railing just as the lunch bell rung. So the hall below us was starting to fill with kids. I've never seen a teacher move as fast as mine did to catch that weight from falling over the edge just in time. I can't imagine what would've happen had it gone over and struck a kid. Scary.
I’m an arborist, we can’t stress enough helmet protection and falling hazard protection. I had a climbing accident about 2 years ago, was knocked out, got 32 stitches in my leg and my helmet was almost split in half. It saved my life though. The people who over look it have not witnessed it or been part of an accident
But they said this was very near a pack train station- are they supposed to wear helmets? Seems like a lot of safety errors here. But toy our point- yes the workers need helmets
A buddy of mine in college was in construction and almost died because a hard hat fell off of a passing truck and bounced on the ground and hit him in the face and sent him to the hospital and nearly killed him. So hard hats themselves can do damage and even kill too.
When ever some one gets hurt on a contruction site, that person almost always gets the blame mainly because the company does not want to be liable. Also workers working high up near the edge are suppose to wear on each tool a Safety Line Rope Lanyard which would have prevented such things happening.
Foreman’s are for the most part cheap and many large building jobs are micromanaged by crappy companies like Clark and Whiting Turner who try to do everything as fast as possible
@Hagmire84 It didn't bounce off anything. Measuring tape isn't exactly aerodynamic and doesn't hold on to energy very well. The moment it would've hit anything it would loose a ton of energy and maybe even be destroyed. The tape hit him with full force from a terminal velocity fall on his head. A helmet would've definitely saved his life.
A woman in Boston was just walking by a building and a piece of plywood flew off and killed her. You can even be outside the areas of caution and still get hurt. Crazy 🙏🏻 may he Rest In Peace

@@yoshi450gmail Amen. It would take more than faith to believe in that. By such logic, what need is there of construction crews, when you can simply gather all the building materials and use dynamite to cause a big bang, so that edifices may construct themselves.
Construction tape measures are pretty damn heavy. They're made to withstand a fall like that. What's crazy is it bounced off something and then hit the man. God bless him and his loved ones.🙏🏿

@Nina Tote Nah the person you’re replying to is right. You’re in the wrong for what you said, and from what I understand even though i’m not religious; God is merciful but doesn’t turn a blind eye to arrogance and hatefulness. You’re wrong for how you spoke. Period.
About 35 years ago I read a story about 2 teenage girls that were killed in NYC when a concrete facade fell off an old building. I thought about those 2 going about their lives and bang, they had no idea......Life is short and you never know when you will go. Like they used to say "today is a good day to die"
Here in Boston they finally stopped replacing certain glass panels of the John Hancock building because they kept falling out.It's a beautiful building, but when I walk by, I always sort of wonder......
@@jvanstyn Wow I cant believe you linked this video from Poland, I was a kid on Vacation there with my mom and brother and remember this storm.

You should all be ashamed by these jokes. Do yourself a favor and read some Scripture before leaving a bad joke. Here’s a good one that came to mind: _He who is without sin cast the first tape measure_
Was looking for this comment... who keeps a tape measure in the kitchen specifically?... they should of said “...you probably have in your home.” Instead
Exactly. The promise of a better afterlife if you believe enough (and fill the coffers) is baloney. No one has ever proven an afterlife. All we know for sure is this life, this world. Make the best of it and preserve the world for future generations.
@@mgreg8134 I went to sleep with my tooth under my pillow and woke up to a quarter in its place! I wanted a fire truck and low and behold, I got a fire truck for Christmas! I believe in miracles. Okaaaay.... 😂😂
I ALWAYS carried a hard hat in my truck. Thankfully most of the "dangerous" places I went absolutely required hard hats, you didn't get in if you didn't have one!!!
everywhere i've worked has had this rule. Even if people are working on the ceiling of a warehouse....if you didn't have a hardhat you stayed 50ft away from the people working overhead. Most sites if you show up without a hardhat they'll tear your ass apart once you cross the line without it on.
We had a similar accident at Holmes Hospital when there was an annex being built. A construction worker dropped a wrench and yelled, "Lookout below!" A man, with his helmet on, looked up to see what was falling and the wrench hit him on the forehead, killing him. It was only a 4 story building to the roof. Happened in the early 70s.
@@jimwerther No. The construction worker who yelled, "Look out below!" killed him, or at least caused his death. If he would have kept his mouth shut when he dropped the wrench, the hard-hat wearing man down on the ground wouldn't have looked up and the wrench would have hit his hard hat or shoulder instead of hitting his forehead. If the wrench had hit his shoulder, he would have been injured but not dead. Then again, if the man on the ground would have run for cover and not looked up, he would have been uninjured. If man on the ground had been hit on the shoulder because the construction worker on the forth floor roof of that building because there was no alarm called out. Like, "Look out below!" he would have probably been pissed and the construction site foreman would have probably fired him. Who knows. Knowing this, will you call out, "Look out below!" if you drop a wrench off a 4 story building? Will you have your wrench tied off to your tool belt to make it virtually impossible to drop if you find yourself high up in the air with a wrench or a hammer?
Whoever let him into the site should've made sure he had a helmet on. Most likely a semi driver wouldn't have had one with him, so the construction company may be liable. And when you're working that high up, your tools should be tethered so they can't fall and kill someone.
Unfortunately that’s not how it works. Truck drivers who make these deliveries do usually have hard hats in their cabs. And no, the general contractor(GC) might not necessarily be liable. As long as signs are posted, it is every individual’s responsibility to wear the proper PPE while they are on site. Even if the person at the gate did say something about a hard hat, how are they going to make sure everyone keeps it on? Typically, if you’re in the truck you don’t even have to put it on until you step out. GC’s are required to have safety personnel on site who can remove people from the site, issue citations, etc. But even then, they can’t be everywhere 100% of the time. Therefore, when you are on a construction site, everyone including you is considered “the safety guy”. A lot of projects(big ones like this, not usually the small ones) even require you to go through their safety training before you can step foot on site. Even if you’re just making a delivery and will only be there for 5 minutes. So as tragic and really horrible as this story is, it’s not really the GC’s fault unless there’s a specific rule about tethering equipment at that height that was violated. Which by the way, is an excellent point. My last jobsite did require tethered equipment, but only for workers who were doing work on the outside or within 6ft of the edge of the building. There was no tethering requirement if you were doing work 6ft or further from the edge. So in this case, if a worker was 10 ft from the edge and dropped a tape measure which then slid or was accidentally kicked off, no rules were broken but that doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous. When you’re on a job site it’s not enough to assume everything will go great and that nothing will happen. You always step foot on site as if tools are falling from the top floor.
I didn’t read through shoemaker’s dissertation but I’m guessing the summary is it’s not someone else’s fault. It was an accident that could have ended without death if he followed standard safety rules. God is good, but he will kill you in a second. And, you can’t tether all your tools to yourself, that’s just insane.
@@DJDisalwaysright I've actually worked security for a large foundry, and you had to have safety equipment before you were allowed in. Same when I used to deliver to a lot of manufacturing companies. If someone can sue because they spilled hot coffee in their lap from the drive through, they can sue and win for this...
@@Ponderosa303 Just because you have signs up, that doesn't make you immune from being sued. Every place that I've visited that required hard hats won't let you go in until you have one on. Foundries, quarries, manufacturing plants etc.
I had a tool fall on me when I was walking down a sidewalk in Spokane WA. It barely touched me and I picked up that tool and carried it into my attorneys office across the street who happened to see the incident occur. He suggested we sue but since the crew happened to drink at the same bar I hung out at I just used that tool to get free drinks for the next week. The kid that dropped it never lived it down but the most important thing that happened here was after the incident the sidewalk was barricaded. Bud Kerr, a water tank painter was the foreman who made the kid buy me drinks for a week. Me and Bud used to paint tanks together.
I’ve both worked and hauled dump loads for construction sites and I always wore my hard hat and high visibility for this reason. Things happen. A small tool falling 30+ stories is missile and everything is constantly moving.
Right but regardless most of them on the ground don’t wear hard hats steady (depending onna task) Nd nevertheless he probably ain’t foreshadow a fucking tape measure falling 50 sum stories n going into his sht 😂🤦🏼♂️
I worked for Comcast and when we would go to a job sites like this to run cable, I would always put my hard hat on! I’d always be Scared of something like this happening...
It's probably more for people who don't have a garage. I live in an apartment and I keep a toolkit under the cabinets in my kitchen and have a few tools in a junk drawer like screwdrivers, pliers, and a tape measure.
@@Jerekul my family has a garage separate from the house, a shed built off of that, a whole third separate workshop building, and we still have tape measures in the kitchen.
I remember being scolded as a teen for this exact reason by a worker for walking through a construction site. Dude even offered me a job but I refused. Life really was looking out for me in so many ways but I was too much of an idiot to realize it.

@@quorthonsinferno5119 dude how could that be a coincidence. He was telling a story about God and then BAM! Instantly killed. I think his Time here on here was up. And now I’m most sure he is in Heaven with the Lord.
There’s no reason for the person to feel guilt. The guy wasn’t wearing a hard hat and this is exactly the reason it’s mandatory - no one to blame but the victim himself.
God is good. We all are going to die someday, God is using this incident to call people to Himself. The man who died is in heaven and is grateful that his story is being used by God to glorify Himself. Where will you be when you die? Only way to heaven is through Jesus. John 14:6, Romans 10:9-13.
Ever read the bible? I'd say this was a nice way to go, wasn't at all gruesome. How much did he suffer, how long??? We all definitely have our date set. _How_ is the question. This man's death may sound strange to us the how and when... maybe why... Only bcz we don't know God's plan. But if you look at the ppl who dishonored Him in the bible, He made their deaths a macabre of all deaths.
May be his passing through purgatory was shorter because him without thinking of his own death precisely that day had God in his lips me he rest in peace.

Perhaps he had fulfilled the work which the Lord purposed for him to do; so that the Lord saw fit then to allow him to rest, and to escape these evil times in which we're now living, which are getting worse by the day. Revelation 14:13 "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them." 1 Thessalonians 4:16 "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:(17) Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
I don’t know how many times we have to yell at truck drivers delivery drivers to put on their hardhat when delivering a load even if it is just a few minutes
I've worked construction as an electrician for 10yrs now. Every trucker knows, especially trade related products, that if you step foot in a construction site, you need steel toe boots, vest, and a hard hat. From when you step out that truck, until are back in your seat. I have had to reschedule dileveries because some truckers didn't have ppe and I wouldn't let them set foot on my job.
Exactly. On a construction site you never know who's doing what or what can go wrong, especially as a driver who's only there for a few minutes. For all you know buddy crackhead's on the top floor ripping out copper pipe with his bare hands, tossing it down. Or a crow's trying to get into a lunchbox and pushes a toolbox over the edge.
I used to work for a heavy equipment company. Even walking into a yard, you are required to wear said ppe gear and gloves and safety glasses. The first few days working, I thought it was stupid and exaggerated. On week 3 on the job, I would've been blind in one eye, missing a finger, probably crushed by a 20 ton excavator, and have a hole on my head if it wasn't for the ppe. I'm telling you now, the gear is no joke. Use it if you value your life and want to go home and see your family instead in a hospital.
I have worked high rise construction and they guys always tell you never to write your name on your hand tools in case you drop something. Even if it doesn’t hit anyone you could still be fired. OSHA has straps with a tether that wraps around your wrist or belt for small tools like tapes. But not many guys use them because they’re really awkward to work with. This is a tragedy, I feel for him and his family

My old boss has this video downloaded on this phone everytime a truck driver or visitor cried about a hardhat he'd show them this just came in my suggestion video and noticed it right away
I used to work for a sound installation and service company and I had a hard hat because the law was when you enter an area where hard hats are required, you MUST wear one. It actually saved me one day when I was moving a ten foot step ladder that someone (me) had left a 4 pound hammer on the top step. It bounced directly off my hard hat. No injury.
May this man be in the arms of Jesus and his family lifted up and encouraged by his faith. May his family's loss and hurt be healed and helped by the love of others.

I was walking out of a jobsite in bigsky Montana. A crew was cutting a hole from the interior to exterior 4 floors up. As I was walking out of the building a hot metal disc fell onto my upper arm creating a deep wide cut. You can be a safe a possible and something, anything can still happen. I had my hard hat on but that didn't help my arm. I'm sure this godly man is in the arms of the lord. God rest his soul.

Rather your arm than your head friend
My high school was two stories and had an open design, meaning when you went outside a classroom, you were literally outside. The science classes were on the second floor which only had a cement railing with wide horizontal openings to keep you from falling off. Once we were outside doing some experiment with cylinder weights. A five pound weight fell over and started rolling to the edge of the railing just as the lunch bell rung. So the hall below us was starting to fill with kids. I've never seen a teacher move as fast as mine did to catch that weight from falling over the edge just in time. I can't imagine what would've happen had it gone over and struck a kid. Scary.

@Abraham Morrison We are off to a good start 1st comment I read laughed my ass off..
When ever some one gets hurt on a contruction site, that person almost always gets the blame mainly because the company does not want to be liable. Also workers working high up near the edge are suppose to wear on each tool a Safety Line Rope Lanyard which would have prevented such things happening.
Stay away from the construction site.

Foreman’s are for the most part cheap and many large building jobs are micromanaged by crappy companies like Clark and Whiting Turner who try to do everything as fast as possible
You can’t lanyard everything in your tool bags.
@Hagmire84 It didn't bounce off anything. Measuring tape isn't exactly aerodynamic and doesn't hold on to energy very well. The moment it would've hit anything it would loose a ton of energy and maybe even be destroyed. The tape hit him with full force from a terminal velocity fall on his head. A helmet would've definitely saved his life.

Thats what I was always told. We couldn't step on the edge of the site without a helmet no matter who you were or what you were there for.
everywhere i've worked has had this rule. Even if people are working on the ceiling of a warehouse....if you didn't have a hardhat you stayed 50ft away from the people working overhead. Most sites if you show up without a hardhat they'll tear your ass apart once you cross the line without it on.

Brahh
We had a similar accident at Holmes Hospital when there was an annex being built. A construction worker dropped a wrench and yelled, "Lookout below!" A man, with his helmet on, looked up to see what was falling and the wrench hit him on the forehead, killing him. It was only a 4 story building to the roof. Happened in the early 70s.
Wow
So looking up killed him?
@@jimwerther No. The construction worker who yelled, "Look out below!" killed him, or at least caused his death. If he would have kept his mouth shut when he dropped the wrench, the hard-hat wearing man down on the ground wouldn't have looked up and the wrench would have hit his hard hat or shoulder instead of hitting his forehead. If the wrench had hit his shoulder, he would have been injured but not dead.
Then again, if the man on the ground would have run for cover and not looked up, he would have been uninjured. If man on the ground had been hit on the shoulder because the construction worker on the forth floor roof of that building because there was no alarm called out. Like, "Look out below!" he would have probably been pissed and the construction site foreman would have probably fired him.
Who knows. Knowing this, will you call out, "Look out below!" if you drop a wrench off a 4 story building? Will you have your wrench tied off to your tool belt to make it virtually impossible to drop if you find yourself high up in the air with a wrench or a hammer?
They should change the wording to "look below" so they keep their heads down and helmets up.
@@ARedMotorcycle Maybe if said, "Run!!"
Whoever let him into the site should've made sure he had a helmet on. Most likely a semi driver wouldn't have had one with him, so the construction company may be liable. And when you're working that high up, your tools should be tethered so they can't fall and kill someone.
Unfortunately that’s not how it works. Truck drivers who make these deliveries do usually have hard hats in their cabs. And no, the general contractor(GC) might not necessarily be liable. As long as signs are posted, it is every individual’s responsibility to wear the proper PPE while they are on site. Even if the person at the gate did say something about a hard hat, how are they going to make sure everyone keeps it on? Typically, if you’re in the truck you don’t even have to put it on until you step out. GC’s are required to have safety personnel on site who can remove people from the site, issue citations, etc. But even then, they can’t be everywhere 100% of the time. Therefore, when you are on a construction site, everyone including you is considered “the safety guy”. A lot of projects(big ones like this, not usually the small ones) even require you to go through their safety training before you can step foot on site. Even if you’re just making a delivery and will only be there for 5 minutes.
So as tragic and really horrible as this story is, it’s not really the GC’s fault unless there’s a specific rule about tethering equipment at that height that was violated. Which by the way, is an excellent point. My last jobsite did require tethered equipment, but only for workers who were doing work on the outside or within 6ft of the edge of the building. There was no tethering requirement if you were doing work 6ft or further from the edge. So in this case, if a worker was 10 ft from the edge and dropped a tape measure which then slid or was accidentally kicked off, no rules were broken but that doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous. When you’re on a job site it’s not enough to assume everything will go great and that nothing will happen. You always step foot on site as if tools are falling from the top floor.
I didn’t read through shoemaker’s dissertation but I’m guessing the summary is it’s not someone else’s fault. It was an accident that could have ended without death if he followed standard safety rules. God is good, but he will kill you in a second. And, you can’t tether all your tools to yourself, that’s just insane.
Absolutely right. Company are getting used to by pass the rules to blame the.victim then. Disgusting
@@DJDisalwaysright I've actually worked security for a large foundry, and you had to have safety equipment before you were allowed in. Same when I used to deliver to a lot of manufacturing companies. If someone can sue because they spilled hot coffee in their lap from the drive through, they can sue and win for this...
@@Ponderosa303 Just because you have signs up, that doesn't make you immune from being sued. Every place that I've visited that required hard hats won't let you go in until you have one on. Foundries, quarries, manufacturing plants etc.
I had a tool fall on me when I was walking down a sidewalk in Spokane WA. It barely touched me and I picked up that tool and carried it into my attorneys office across the street who happened to see the incident occur. He suggested we sue but since the crew happened to drink at the same bar I hung out at I just used that tool to get free drinks for the next week. The kid that dropped it never lived it down but the most important thing that happened here was after the incident the sidewalk was barricaded.

The amount of tragedy is unmeasurable.
I've worked construction as an electrician for 10yrs now. Every trucker knows, especially trade related products, that if you step foot in a construction site, you need steel toe boots, vest, and a hard hat. From when you step out that truck, until are back in your seat. I have had to reschedule dileveries because some truckers didn't have ppe and I wouldn't let them set foot on my job.
Exactly. On a construction site you never know who's doing what or what can go wrong, especially as a driver who's only there for a few minutes. For all you know buddy crackhead's on the top floor ripping out copper pipe with his bare hands, tossing it down. Or a crow's trying to get into a lunchbox and pushes a toolbox over the edge.

I used to work for a heavy equipment company. Even walking into a yard, you are required to wear said ppe gear and gloves and safety glasses. The first few days working, I thought it was stupid and exaggerated. On week 3 on the job, I would've been blind in one eye, missing a finger, probably crushed by a 20 ton excavator, and have a hole on my head if it wasn't for the ppe. I'm telling you now, the gear is no joke. Use it if you value your life and want to go home and see your family instead in a hospital.
I have worked high rise construction and they guys always tell you never to write your name on your hand tools in case you drop something. Even if it doesn’t hit anyone you could still be fired.
OSHA has straps with a tether that wraps around your wrist or belt for small tools like tapes. But not many guys use them because they’re really awkward to work with. This is a tragedy, I feel for him and his family
Hope the worker that lost the tape is doing ok. Rest in peace
How does a tape measure do that? It's literally just a tape measure.
From the height of the fall it picks up a lot of speed. Plus most construction tape measures are metal and heavier than household ones.
A professional 30’ x 1 1/4” tape would probably kill a buffalo from that height.
"something you probably have in your own kitchen, a tape measure"
Nope I don't keep my tools in the kitchen
probably should have said household or home
I actually do have a tape measure, scissors, and a few screw drivers in my kitchen. I also have that stuff in a toolbox in my garage, which is down stairs as I live on the second floor.
Mine is in my kitchen in my junk drawer
Women have their tape measure in the kitchen because that's her garage. She feeds all you fucks in there since the dawn of time.
@@patmickrotch1796 What the fuck does this even mean. It’s just phrased so poorly and lacks any relation to the conversation of where people keep a tape measure...
God must've liked his preaching so much that he decided to send him to heaven right then and there.
Wtf
Right

This is why you always where a Hard Hat on site! I used to hate wearing a Hard Hat as a young worker but I am glade my Foreman was vigilant about it, Rest In Peace to this poor bloke.
@@Rakaメ what's your argument? On any job site where work is above, a hard hat is nesscesary. I know a bloke that had a piece of steel hit him from above, split the hard hat and knocked him down but he survived. He wouldn't be alive if it weren't for his Hard Hat.
@@Rakaメ it definitely wasn't, when i worked in construction full time, that was 2012. The incident with my mate was prior to that.
The only difference being I'm in Australia, other country's and job site's may not have been as strict.

@@Rakaメ did you delete your comments...?
Is nobody going to talk about how the news reporter literally said Inc instead of LLC?
Simply ill informed of the difference.
I saw it as well also they say the truck driver said God is good the Arabic translation to that is allahu Akbar. Just pointing that out because this subthread is pointing out possible perceived abnormalities that were previously not seen in this 6 year old video. So keep it on topic
Also sheetrock is believed by many to be a subpar building material
Everywhere in my city, there's construction sites. I ALWAYS walk across the street or take a longer route. Never walk underneath scaffolding as they are known to collapse.
U must feel like ur living in "final destination"!?
Scaffolding is not known to collapse wtf. It would only fail if it was installed improperly, which is pretty hard to do.
@@bobsinger7127 .... I didn't say every damn scaffolding collapses.
Of course, when it's not installed properly it would collapse and you wouldn't know until it happens. 🤬.
@@6100GG known to collapse means often, know english?
@@ryana8022 you would be surprised how many scaffold accidents happen in construction.
Worker: I don't need a helmet. Jesus Christ will protect me!
Tape measure:
You ever heard of everlasting life? This world is owned by satan .
Tape Mesure: I’m about to end this mans whole career
@@galaxiax3284 Yes, the tape measure gave the person everlasting life. Sadly, the tape measure never got me, so I have to live in this world.
@@narata1541 idiots always think they are smart in fact Jesus Christ is everlasting life but of course the indignant thinks a measuring tape is what we are talking about, continue your self righteous life it’s yours to live and allow others to live theirs.
@@galaxiax3284 I agree. The tape measure and Jesus can give everlasting life. Even my puppy as well as everyone is happy with her! Yup! She's adorable!
I have a story about construction helmets: I used to work in construction was at the bottom floor looking up a window through the scaffolds waiting if they needed any more supplies from the bottom, well I guess I poked my head out a bit to much cuz a brick from the 5th story ended up falling on my head and breaking in half. Luckily I had the helmet so I deadass just felt like if someone tapped my helmet
Helmets save lives, literally
god took him into heaven it was his time
stevey626 look at stuff dropped from heights onto a safety helmet and see how badly they damage it
His faith was strong.. im sure it was if he was bold to bring God to the workforce, we lack that in the field... R.I.P GOOD SIR I PRAY ONE EAR HEARD YOU BEFORE YOU PASSED ..GOD IS GOOD !!!
God
If he called in sick or had a helmet on it wouldn't have been his time.
@@amessina6691 dont live your life with "what if"
God bless him. He was praising his Father in heaven one second and the next he was face to face with Him. Death comes to us all. This young man was ready.
Amen sweet sister!
Maybe god liked what he said and wanted to thank him personally 🤷♂️
Bless him how?He died.
@@azieldaly2965 lol it’s ironic how he said gif is good then dies
Shame the god didnt exist and help him out
The man's job on Earth was done.. he's home now
Earth and home are kinda the same thing so this only works metaphorically I guess? Like his consciousness not existing before is what he has returned to.
“I didnt know something so small could do so much damage.” This lady apparently has never held a measuring tape before
She was probably thinking of a tailor's measuring tape..
When its your day, it's your day. Can't avoid that.
Uh yes you can. Wear a hard hat... a seat belt.... get vaccinated.
Who the hell keeps measuring tape in the kitchen. that's like a toolbox kind of thing 😂 that lady probably brings a ruler to bed to see how long she slept😭😭😭😭
Ha, ha, ha, ha, lol !
Junk drawers are in kitchens...
Everybody I know. Not everybody has a tool box, but everybody has a drawer full of tools.
This just screams irony
The irony you are seeing is meant to get your attention by God. Doubt has kept many ppl from stepping into faith but I tell you God is real without a doubt! Beyond the scriptures I am sure you might have heard I have experienced real things and encounters that are not something I think is God but with proof and without a doubt know it is. Ask Him. Just pray and ask God to show you He is real and to help you understand who He is. Say in Jesus name Amen and see what happens.
"I never knew something so small could do so much damage?"
Me: "That's what she said..... Oh, wait."
God needed him... Speed Healing to his family & friends!
God needs. That says it all right there. God is so great, he needs. Got it now. Smh....
@@seanmurphy4465 Let me rephrase what she said. God is saving the man from this Hell-Hole twisted world. So God needs Whatever this man did good in life now in His Kingdom.
Christians, the OG mental gymnastics experts.
For what??.
@making toast atheists have valid fact based arguments. Christians don't lol
This the reason final destination exists 😭😭
You think this is funny?
Imagine being that guy that accidentally kicked the measuring tape over 😬
Rumor has it the tape measure had "Johnny Bonez" written on it with a gold-flake sharpie.
However, completely innocent bystander and alleged "witness" Juan Bonilla QUICKLY shot down such blatant conspiracy theories, insisting "That's loco talk."
My old boss has this video downloaded on this phone everytime a truck driver or visitor cried about a hardhat he'd show them this just came in my suggestion video and noticed it right away
Good on your boss. I would not be surprised if his insistence has actually saved lives.
I used to work for a sound installation and service company and I had a hard hat because the law was when you enter an area where hard hats are required, you MUST wear one. It actually saved me one day when I was moving a ten foot step ladder that someone (me) had left a 4 pound hammer on the top step. It bounced directly off my hard hat. No injury.
Wow congratulations on being alive
I've done the same. I've seen it happen to other people.
Dude:- "God is Good"
Satan:- "and I took that personally".
God; Watch this! Got him!!
@Shaheen Jackson "God" can take care of itself. It doesn't need help from a mere human.
