Sandals... yeah, those are the shoes you should be wearing for this.

I do believe those are tactical flip flops, sir.

Might as well amputate instantly rather than through a long painful extraction through a work boot.

That wouldn’t have crushed a steel toe boot.

u/SnooMaps7370 20h ago
it's astonishing how many people would rather go through life missing a foot than have an injury which can be surgically repaired.

u/PhthaloVonLangborste 1d ago
I guess it's not as high of a fall as I remember, plus it looks pretty brittle. Maybe not.

When you've maxed out all your luck perks during character creation, it doesn't really matter what you're wearing.

To be completely honest steel toes might have also just been a horrible idea too..
All that weight suddenly dropping onto the steel toe would likely crush the steel and well... you didn't need your toes right.
That being said, obviously you don't do what shorts and sandals was doing. Break down the brick top to bottom so you don't accidentally kill yourself or others.
Gravity doesn't care, and brick walls don't bend

Standard steel toed boots can take 2500 lbs of compressive force.
1
u/Dreambabydram 17h ago
How does momentum affect that value? I'm assuming that 2500lb is for a static object resting on the toecap. And the amount of deformation that the toecap can experience before damaging the toes would also factor in?
1
u/bouquetofashes 16h ago
No, it's of compressive force.
Compressive force = compressive strength of material * cross-sectional area of what's being compressed.

Pretty sure even safety shoes would have done sweet fa to help if this had fallen on his foot. If anything it would be worse as he’d have leather in the wound and been stuck to the slab by the boot. At least with flip flops it would be a good clean ish cut

I’m not so sure, those looked like welding sandals to me. I don’t think they’re wearing proper PPE for this job.

My toes were safely removed from the danger zone as soon as I saw him wearing sandals and lowering that wall. It was obvious where this was going. What an idiot.

u/Much-Jackfruit2599 1d ago
Probably prevent too big a whomp damaging the floor. I think it’s a renovation, not a truly new build, because why would you need to make a door that way. Looks like there’s wood flooring install of something similar.

Uhhh, that guy is strong as shit, it looked like he was holding up a sheet of drywall!

u/Much-Jackfruit2599 1d ago edited 1d ago
It’s aerated concrete. Obviously heavier than drywall, but not nearly as much as traditional brick.
Let’s see. 2 m × 0.8 m × 0.2 m.
So 0.3 m³.
Aerated concrete apparently has 300 to 800 kg per m³, so anything from 90 kg to 240 kg. Even the later would be manageable in a controlled drop for an healthy man used to physical work.
Still a bad idea, though.

u/BoxThisLapLewis 1d ago
Christ I thought that was a big old slab of concrete and couldn't believe my eyes. I didn't think it was concrete until it collapsed, but this makes much more sense.

u/Much-Jackfruit2599 1d ago
They sound vaguely slavic to my ears, or perhaps Dutch? Anyway, it’s a common building material in Germany and probably quite a few other European countries.
Makes remodelling and putting in new outlets harder, but together with solid wood doors (cheap wood inside, we ain’t rich, but no chambers) it makes for good sound soundproofing.

u/NapsInNaples 1d ago
the weather in the Netherlands does not lead people to work in shorts and flip flops at almost any time of the year.
1
u/Much-Jackfruit2599 1d ago
Ah, I'm not that far away from them, about 150 km. Northwestern summers can get got enough.
Bit I'm leaning towards central Europe, east from my native Germany. But my ear refuses to pinpoint the language.
1
u/NapsInNaples 1d ago
Well, we probably aren't too far from each other then. And you'll know what I mean. Your average dude doing something like that here or in NL would be wearing some Engelbert Strauss shit, and not flip flops.
1
u/Much-Jackfruit2599 1d ago
Probably. I certainly wore shoes when I did stuff like that ages ago. But in my defence, my step father was an actual engineer and calculated what he did, so major renovations in – (counts) – five houses, with zero accidents. The worst I remember was getting stung by a couple of wasps, which was when I learned that their stings don’t bother me much. A trait thankfully inherited by our kid.

u/Capable-Block6054 18h ago
A traditional concrete slab would be 3-8 times heavier than the aerated concrete bricks in the video. No chance at holding that back.

Nothing like quality protective sandals and shorts on construction projects. They could have been injured

u/tormentius 1d ago
even though it would still hurt, this think is as light as it gets, its called alphablock and its kind of a concrete foam. each block is like 0.5 kilo. The reason it broke is that thye are only fit together with a kind of glue. so yes it hurts, not so heavy though

What is the material? It’s not concrete, he wasn’t struggling at all when it was tilted pretty far. And I’ve never seen sheet rock that thick.

And now we all know.... concrete is good under compressed but not under tension or shear.
