"a perfect launch"
*_Falls straight down and slamms into solid rocks_*
😂 right? I don't mean to laugh, but that's exactly what I was thinking. Looked painful as hell
I mean, this doesn’t take away from the fact that it Was a perfect launch.. the landing doe 0.O
@@devoted2thaentertainment207 that wasn't painful
It was dead instantly
@@UnvisitedProfile but the _a controlled fall_ comment was amazing still
And then it still slamms into the rocks
😂😂 I know right
The chick: *LITERALLY JUMPS 400FT OFF A CLIFF AND BANGS ITS HEAD 16 TIMES*
Also the chick: *tis but a scratch*
Best comment.
underrated even tho it was made 1 day ago
Ikr it must hurt so much!! Ouch!!! And how come it didn’t even die but is good that it didn’t died
@Jacqueline Choi *didn’t died*

Parents: "Jump."
Babies: "Actually, can you carry us in your mouth-"
Parents: "I SAID JUMP."
Darth Sideus: “Do it”

Goslings after breaking half of their bones from jumping off of a cliff: ‘Tis but a scratch

Mother goose: "if all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you?"

This comment is underrated
More like:
Mother goose: our parents made us so stupid, we want You to jump off this cliff right onto these rocks.
Gosling: well... with such a small brain, nothing can hurt me. Jeronimo!!!
😂😂😂😂

Who else thought the chick was dead when he smashed into the side of the mountain.
I thought it was dead 16 times
mee too.....
I was like how did it survive all of that
im not liking for the sake of the meme
@@prakashharionutube me too
This is the ultimate *”They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.”*
Ikr
E
bro how tf that bird have no brain damage
At least is survived
@@seshstick cuz it has really low mass, hence the impact force is like negligible. If you throw a horse like this it will literally explode, but a mouse can survive even higher than this.
What an incredible work of the nature filmmakers. This incredible shot of the flying goose from below with all those hard hits, the reaction of the parents filmed in close up, the other cameraman right at the start of the jump on the cliff and then the reunion of the family. This must have taken an incredible amount of patience to be able to film this at the exact right time. They probably waited for this moment for years to catch it. I guess the BBC payed them good for this incredible and very emotional and heart wrenching document.
Dude 💀 they just recorded a natural event in nature with some intense music over it it’s a magical event they perfectly captured. It’s not like the geese and the chick were actors being paid to do the bit it’s just a documentary.
Paid
@@ToeJam161 paid 👍
@@sapling6536 most nature documentaries are all staged. They're real but they put the animals in those positions and have the cameras ready before hand. OP is right they probably have been tracking these geese for a while and set up cameras on their next
@@sapling6536 that is precisely why it's incredible that they managed to capture it. Because the geese aren't playing a role, everything could go wrong. They could film the duckling's fall and have the baby die anyway, and have to shoot it all over again. Which would mean finding another duckling
I cried when I saw the little things move after the jump. RIP the two died.
His wings were small, but his balls were fully grown.
Yomamasaho That’s instinct not courage (He had no choice)
^^somebody get this guy a Nobel prize^^
On second thoughts, I feel like a Nobel prize would be slightly insulting - genius like this doesn’t come about very often, a Nobel prize just isn’t enough. Even Charles Darwin himself believed that the sole reason that chicks jump off cliffs like this is because of how daring the newborn is, in all fairness, what other conclusion could we come to other than this.
Well done Samuel, thankyou. I can sleep at night now that I know that I DO in fact have bigger balls than these chicks
about some people even eat them. Rocky Mountain Oysters. Not me. HELL NAW!
Added this comment to my list of Golden UA-cam comments
I thought, "how could the internet let me watch this horrible tragedy?"....then, the damn thing lived. I shall be able to sleep tonight
If a bird jumping off a cliff gives you sleepless nights then you wouldn’t survive a minute in my head.

God creates PERFECTION!
That shit was hilarious in my head all I heard was a fart noise when he hit that first rock 🤣shitty ass bird
For those concerned in the comments, making big jumps like this is strangely common for tiny baby birds (look up wood ducks for example); because they are so small and weigh so little, their terminal velocity and force of impact aren't enough to hurt them badly :)
Not exactly true. I watched the full documentary that this clip is from on BBC the other day, and two of the goslings died from the impact(s) of their jumps :/
thats why 2 out of 5 died?
According to your logic a human baby can survive, I mean they weigh a few kgs
@@dev.j255eriously? Those chicks are less than 1/10 the weight of a human infant
@@dev.j255what no babies are heavy compared to those chicks you probably know what terminal velocity is right? Ants can jump off the tallest buildings and survive because they weigh practically nothing, so when you multiply the gravity and everything it still doesnt put much force on the ant
Me, as I start the video and call my daughter over: This little fluff ball is gonna dive over 400ft into the water to his parents!
Both of us as the camera pans down: OMG THERE'S NO WATER!!
What a rollercoaster of emotions that was. LOL!
"If your friends jumped off of a cliff, would you do it, too?"
*Me and the boys:* 0:16
Haha bruh
Haha nice
fr you wouldn’t tho
No fam. Just you.
The boys didn't jump💔
I would

The fact that they can survive that drops is absolutely extraordinary
The fact this is the best strategy I'm having trouble coming to terms with.
Narrator: "The perfect launch!"
Birb: crushes against rocks
Right?!?!
I actually held my breath
Sounds like angry bird 😬
I thought that it died.
@@j_mack1996 i thought they cant walk because they break their feet😅
"Barnacle geese regularly create nests on high cliffs to avoid predation, however within a few days of hatching goslings must jump off these cliff faces in order to meet their parents who are foraging on the grass below... The young of species required to make astonishing jumps from cavities and cliffs have an incredible softness of their bones for the first few days of life, without which the fall would surely be fatal. It is astounding that a gosling can fall 100ft and survive at 2 days of age, where they could not at 1 week."
Since I know at least some of y'all must be curious (from wwt)
We already knew that but thanks i guess.
@@HoldMyBong you're welcome
I have learned that Birds are cute morons.

Speak for yourself I didn’t know that

Chick before jump: "I'm Johnny Knoxville and this is Jack-Goose."
Imagine "I believe I can fly" playing in the background as he jumps
😆Noh!haha fantasy!
Needle scratches as he hits first cliff ? 🤭
would've been funny 13 years ago

Bruh 💯
😂 my mum used to give me this speach.
I don't know why but I instantly thought of some eastern European grandpa polish or German saying , "Ehh go to sleep in Poland wake up in East Germany , what can go wrong?"
My mom walked to school in the snow every day up hill both ways in San Jose California
Yeah !!!
My parents after watching this - "this is how we went to school"
Exactly, only it was raining too😁
My parents had a blizzards

Downhill both ways. And barefoot. And we wuz grateful!
“I walked 40 miles with a potato in each hand”
I watched this high and couldn’t help but to laugh then cry , but laugh again 😂😂😂
I wasnt high but I laguhed and felt bad at same time
Still better than my childhood
1:53 "Are you questioning my parenting?"
😂💀👌
No mommy.
This is gold 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
This one killed me 😁
I like how the parents instantly came to meet it: "You passed the first test of survival, son. Achievement unlocked: The Cliff"
Ha
*they came to hear me beg*
The Cliff my ass😏😂😂😂Lil Bird last chapter
First?
@@TheWizardGamez the second are the ravens at the bottom waiting to snatch chicks away from the males when they land.

It's so funny,😁
Because space apes like fiction....
One of the most amazing things I've ever seen. My heart skips a beat every time they slam into the rocks
That was heartbreaking to see at first and then so relieving at the end.
Great parenting 10/10
Can't argue with success.
Geese is known for bad parenting.

The little squeaks as it hits the rocks breaks my heart :’(
And the other one died :( others are left 😭

🤣🤣😂
And wood ducks think theyve got it rough!!!!!
You made my day bro 😂😂
:D
kid:-Mom I fell of my cycle..
Baby Gosling:-hold my beer 🍺
Dad and Mom starring from above happily with a bunch of lumps on their head: We remember our first jump. 🥰
The fact that the gosling just smashed into a bunch of rocks and shook it off like it's everyday business.
It reminded me of the cut scene in Doom eternal where the Doom Slayer crashed through a wall, shook it off and kept on walking.
‘Tis but a scratch.
Taking “baby steps” to a whole another level
Yup. 🤣
No shit lmao!!

You never met my Mom.
predators at the bottom bro

You ever get asked the question what's your earliest memory? Mine is falling in a boating lake. These chicks would definitely have me beat
Very amazing. Never thought that they would survive such a free fall. Great video, thank you very much
sometimes they dont survive
The dive was excellent but a backflip or two would have made this better, I give him an 9/10 just because he survived. Congratulations to Bouncy.
Underrated
I'll give him a 9/11
Haha! But you assumed it's gender :p
@@DarkMiss loool he clearly have BALLS
YOU'RE. NOT. GIVING HIM. ENOUGH. STYLE. POINTS !!!...
The phrase "If your brothers jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?" probably has no meaning in ducknese.
The likes right now tho
It's ducklish you fucking illiterate
Goosenese :o)
That chick shook away the fall most easily than most people do after a weekend hangover
Stronger than most humans ever will be
I can hear "sing with me, sing for the year" 💀
almost like my parents high expectations.
You doctor yet?
No dad im 12.
Talk to me when you doctor!
+eyesofNOTHING hahaha I know where that's from
IAm Taco eeyyy =D it was perfect oppertunity.
lol
That sound it made when hitting the rocks! :(
Anyone else think it's amazing that they can survive that drop!
+FrozenEternity No, you're the only one who though that
I am special then! yay!
FrozenEternity Quite special
quorkquork
damn just "quite"? I was hoping for clinically special :(
+FrozenEternity I was horrified for most of the video because i thought the chick wasn't surviving it :/
That's simply incredible!
The sound of a rubber duck when it hits the wall was funny. 😂😂😂 I really thought he wasn't gonna make it. Tough little fellla.
"Watch this mom!" //free falls but starts tumbling down the cliff// "nailed it"
You Fail Taxonomy Forever; these are geese not chicken. And as for why, two reasons - they don't have the means to carry them and it's another natural-selection mechanism.
Apparently this is how my parents got to school everyday
Fr though💀
.....don’t forget “...,IN THE SNOW!!” 😂
Oh so true. Mine too.
Jake Boudreau ok boomer
Ahahaha LOL
What a magnificent camera work never missed a single detail. 10lakhs likes for this effort
Simply just WOW!
Nature is gangsta as hell! After that first crash into rocks I was like, "What the hell am I watching"?! I just experienced a rollercoaster of reactions for these little things! Lol
Lol don't feel bad I thought from the thumbnail it was a chick like they were talking about a women as in the chick dives off the cliff LMAO how dumb am I right now LMAO 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😁
@@chucky1time337 same dude. I was like wtf

Imagine THAT as a You Tube video! Oh, dear! 😂😂
Not 'things', but 'beings' 😊
I can't even imagine to what length the crew might have went to film all the things for days and cut it down to 5 minutes. Finding the locations, camping for months for something to happen. Capturing that rare event that starts and finishes in seconds from 5-8 different angles at that perfect moment. Shit.
Beats having a nine to five...
Great point!
I can imagine the camera man writing in a diary: week 1 day 2, the chick is now ready to jump

A life that starts with such tough challenges, needs to be respected.
You are si right
XD
Many animals endure incredible struggle, and too many people don’t respect them enough.
Realllllly though
Those who donot respect, domesticate them and bring them to their dinner table
I'm sorry I couldn't help but laugh a little.... The way it jumped and the music made it sound like a James Bond film
the narrator is soo fantastic....
his voice took me right in there
Actual footage of my parents telling me “this is how we got to school”
Enough with this overused, unoriginal comment.
not funny
Too many boomers
Hahahahaha mannnnn, you only understand this if you have parents from a third world country.

Me: *How are you not dead?!*
Chick: "I don't know!" *Sonic meme*
Lmfaooo omg !
Gabriel Rodriguez Since those chicks are really light, they have very little inertia and can survive much greater falls than humans. If you drop a small insect off the Empire State Building, it will be ok, but if you drop an elephant from 1/10th that height, it would be flattened.
C 6 if you drop big fat American
then you will see a big mess lol
Ty V really? Who r u lol
That drop is like a funny, then not funny, then funny again joke as it just keeps going.

Once it slammed right on the rocks, my heart instantly dropped. Crazy

Perhaps the most memorable (to me) of the David Attenborough videos. I've searched for it ever since, finding some bogus redacted versions showing the survival of only one chick and replacing Attenborough's voice with one that's more professional but less authentic and convincing. I understand the newer, edited versions were "fixed up" to fit the 45 format of most televised videos. Still, even this isn't the entire episode--since it starts int he middle of the action.
The person who composed the music for this is on a whole other level! Where would you even go to hear scores like this on their own??
Yep...that’s exactly how my parents went to school..Everyday
Lol that's why they didn't get good grades due to severe head injuries
Sometimes in a blizzard
Both ways!
Well mine had to wrestle crocodile too 😐
🤣🤣
My parents: “If your friends jumped off a cliff would you do it too?”
Me: 0:14
Lololol
Me except with no friend
😁😁😁😁😁
me: 14:16
Your perfect timing made me like your comment. Lol
Those first few days of childhood are always the roughest
Such a heart wrenching video 😠
It is freakishly amazing they lived And that their parents were at the bottom.
And just think of what had to happen for this to be "the way"... they had to try putting the nest up on the top of an inaccessible cliff... chicks had to mostly crater for generations... had to learn how to glide basically from newborn...
All that to avoid months of risk of predation from I presume foxes?
Humans: *Falls a few feet, breaks a bone or two*
Birb: *Falls hundreds of feet. Hits a cliff side. Gets back up.* I'm okay dad!
Lucky Bird , it's super light
Yeah it must reach terminal velocity really quickly, so at a point the height of the mountain doesn't matter. Could be as high as the moon and it will still be fine if it doesn't freeze to death.
The duck is so cute and I was so sad when it looked injured
I can't stop laughing at how the chick makes a squeak each time it hits something. I wonder if he was yelling the gosling equivalent of "SHIT!" each time.
This made me laugh so hard you thanks
My heart stoped when it hit the rocks😥
Me too
