Did they plan to put it on the roof? Because they just did.
D’OH!
They did a great job of putting it on the roof, alright! LOL!
They also did a great job by punishing that guy who parks his car on the no parking zone every morning.
..is this really a Fail?..maybe they were aiming for that auto..
That “auto”? You must be German.
^ OMG U RACIST
^OMG GERMAN IS A RACE!?
Jah, it’s the Master Race
Raster Mace!
*Flails Wolfgang*
Ya peace bro, like a rasterfarai!
DAS AUTO
btw “katze” is German for cat.
..glad it didn’t happen on the autobahn..
I think they meant to do that… WIN crane in ACTION!
Noone’s replying to each other… so i shall be ze first!!! Hi moose!
Hi moose!
..”moose, there it is-!”..getcha hands up in the air..
Yeah, that’s deliberate. But still good!
That’s going to leave a mark.
good job ^^
..what equipment was dropped?..an A/C unit?..it’s pretty huge..
You bet it is!
looks like a bunch of office supplies.
That was planned…so a WIN!
Not so much the drop (even though it looks like they just released it), but the fact that a) it was being filmed, and moreso b) there was no hesitation on the part of the cameraman in following it drop. If it was real he would have been delayed since it would have been a surprise movement downward while he was tracking upwards with the cam.
Also, the straps seem to fall before the equipment.
Almost like the equipment hangs in mid air for a moment.
Seems like a special effect.
…or physics…
The straps “fall” before the equipment because they are strained. They are stretched like an elastic band under tension so that when the strain disappears they recoil much faster than the acceleration due to gravity.
It does look staged though…the guys on the roof look like they’re there for the show.
Derr – It was staged.
I think that’s it though – there was no hesitation. If you watch it, the camera moves downwards before it even falls. My money is on this being staged.
That’ll buff out.
..where’d you buy that buffer, McRib..?..i may need one..
Probably here: http://cars.failblog.org/
Yeah, I believe that’s from an old Microsoft commercial. Funny, but certainly not a Fail.
This is fake — it’s been on youtube for years
Fake? It didn’t really happen? Wow, that’s nice CGI.
I personally do not believe it’s fake, but I do beleive it was planned.
That’s where I parked my car…
..hope you have a little lizard..
Staged. Notice how that camera focused on the car before the pallet even got there.
So? Maybe he was looking down ahead of time to see what was there.
Another day on the job at Stagedco.
So many fails these days are wins. Sort it out.
This was a gag. Seen it before.
The gag reflex around here is broken.
I betcha I could buff that out.
Its obviously tower blocks.
It’s fake….
I’m sure that car’s owner didn’t expect it to become an instant convertible when he woke up that day.
FAILBLOG FAILS YET AGAIN … Congratulations
I love movies. The effects are so real.
lol kinda looked like a house at the start
It was staged. The camera anticipated the action.
here’s what I found…
I’m going to call Staged – or the guy who rigged the pallet for the pick was an utter moron, which is the same thing.
Note they don’t give you a close-up of the crane hook, they had to have either a loop of rope rigged to break, or a quick disconnect link they could trigger with a monofilament line.
And the camera being ready to pan down with the load was too convenient – a professional; cameraman might be able to anticipate and follow it in real-time, but what would a pro be standing there filming this FOR?
If they are loading an air conditioner unit on the roof, why is the pallet also loaded with cinder blocks? Staged.
Jeeeesus, people!
It looks like there was a person inside the car, on the driver’s seat!!!! Look and tell me if I’m wrong! It sure seems to me that way!
Rule #1: DOUBLE TAP!!!
It takes a crane to get it out
Any load heavy enough to break a standard rigging shackle would crush a pallet into splinters. Given how little the straps were stretched, it would have to be either an actuated quick-release or a keychain carabiner.
One way they could trigger a failure on command would be to use one of the Keychain Carabiners (barely strong enough to get that load in the air) and jerk the load…
Tap the “Down” hoist lever for a quick moment and let it go – like getting a Yo-Yo “Walking The Dog” to come back up. Snap a weak Carabiner like a rubber band.
But I didn’t see any quick movement of the load sheaves or boom that would indicate that, so my money’s still on a quick release – or just a teeny tiny bit of explosives.
This is from an episode of Punk’d. I knew watching reruns on the TV Guide channel was gonna pay off someday!
The laws of physics dictate that the straps and the air-conditioner will fall at the SAME speed.
The air-conditioner will not hang there for a split second.
Faaaaaaaaa—- ……not real.
No, that part isn’t faked – the nylon slings that the load is hanging from (think seat-belt webbing) are stretched like rubber bands under load, and they are going to actively snap back when the shackle lets go.
The load is going to take a few milliseconds to react, as they begin to gain velocity at the average rate of {(32 feet per second) per second} till it hits terminal velocity.
There’s an air resistance factor, but it isn’t going to even start to kick in for several hundred feet. That load was up maybe fifty.
It’s the shackle holding the load sling straps to the crane hook that was the faked part. They Do Not Snap That Easily – I was expecting the rigging job to fail and it all spills off the sides of the pallet.
Ugh, this is a FailBlog FAIL. This was a commercial that was on tv about 5 or so years ago.
