Some people test gravity.
Others **taunt it. **
This individual delivered that precise combination of self-assurance, physics principles, and suspenseful “oh no” moments which made him the ideal Imgur content. **
Our video hero faces an apparently simple challenge which involves climbing a ladder in the now-iconic footage. No frills. No acrobatics. When you combine a person with a metal ladder and a recording camera it always signifies impending trouble.
The ascent starts off solid. One foot, two feet, steady grip. The ladder shifts unexpectedly causing him to lose his balance while gravity delivers its final act. **
It feels like slow motion while our hero collapses like a grand tree during a tempest as he loses his balance and his dignity slips away. The fall leaves no serious injuries but follows cartoonish physics instead of emergency room protocols yet remains undeniably spectacular.
Let’s be clear: **he’s fine. ** But his pride? That hit might leave a bruise.
And the internet? Oh, the internet delivers. The comment section showcases remarks like “10/10 dismount” and “NASA just called—they want their satellite back” to become an upcoming Imgur classic.

### **The Moral of the Story? **
Before filming a ladder climb make sure your ego won’t break from a potential tumble. **
The best option is to avoid testing physical laws during video shoots.
But also… please do. Because these moments?
**They keep Imgur alive. **
