This video made me cry. I understand laughing at the misfortunes of others…and to be honest…I often have mixed emotions when cakes and sugar sculptures crash at competitions (sometimes I think it’s sad, sometimes I think it’s funny). But this killed me.

Putting your soul into a piece of art is different than crashing a car into a tree or losing something monetary. It’s different than getting hurt physically. Really, I find it different than a misfortune. I don’t feel the pain of the person crashing their car. I am detached so it is funny. But these men…I feel their pain. So it makes me sad.

If you look closely, the base of the archer’s body if very centrally located. She/he is not laying down at the end, but lifted up with little weight at the corner in question. I am positive that calculations were done with excruciating accuracy. The chance of this crash may have been high, but it was probably less than 50%, meaning that these men felt confident in taking the chance. Also, these blocks of ice aren’t just cut off a glacier around the corner or something. They are made in a painstaking and expensive process to create the ridiculously clear ice. That means these blocks are rare and precious.

This is not a fail. It is inspiration…and sometimes inspiration is trial and error.

Or just balance the sculpture better…like a bigger socket/base instead of the tiny. Hope they learned their lesson until next year

xD So much effort put into a temporary piece of art. So not worth it.
There are much better sculpting materials out there people. xD

Amanda Senior.. there’s a German word that I couldn’t spell for the life of me but I’ll give you how it’s pronounced: Shaudenfroid or something…. it means taking joy from others’ misfortunes. A little like sadism but not as severe…. THAT’s why we’re laughing. Yea it’s sad but that’s the point.

Try

It was at the world ice art championships. Multi-block. 5 days of competition, 4 people per team. Temperatures 0 to -50. It was Junichi Nakamura, world class ice sculpture, cutting the supports.

Every year people push the envelope and stuff falls over. Just usually isn’t filmed. Not sure why this one was. Just lucky I guess.

People are cheering because he walked away. It was about 20 tons of ice. It shook the ground when it went down. There is a documentary coming out (I’m in it)
