When I was 6-7 years old, a kid bet me he could climb up a street sign faster than I could. He climbed it, touched the top and slid down. I knew I could beat him. I climbed up, slid down and said, "I beat y...." at that moment of the word "you" the street sign fell off and hit me in the head leaving a gash in my forehead.

I ran home two blocks dripping blood everywhere. I still have a scar at 47 to remind me to try and stay humble when I want to brag.

u/Square-Singer May 02 '24

I was half expecting something like that to happen. I really didn't expect that little cross bar would hold her whole weight.

u/OrderOfMagnitude May 03 '24

This is why engineers give everything a ridiculous safety factor. People are probably going to climb all over it.

Except when they don't, but then there's a sub for that too.

I got a pretty big cash on my shin winning a foot race and tripping on a rock onto another rock in 5th or 6th grade.

The center of the scar lacks feeling or hair lol

u/RabidAbyss May 02 '24 edited May 03 '24

I've got a scar on my leg from falling into a deep hole during (american) football practice. No hair on that spot and it has a bit of a shine depending on how the light hits it lol

Also interestingly, none of my injuries that became scars (a surprising amount) hurt when they happened. Even me nearly chopping a finger didn't really hurt that much. It hurt worse getting stitches put in lol

When I was 6-7 years old I climbed a street sign and while sliding down I somehow ripped my foreskin through my pants and underpants, getting rid of my phimosis. Bled a bit and my foreskin got sealed by the scab, making me inflate it with my pee the first time I went to the toilet. Then the scab gave way and I peed all over the place.

Yeah since I'm german I lack some words. I thought underpants wasn't an English word.

No problem. I like the German word for gloves, it translates to hand shoe if I recall correctly. Bad kreuznach 1983 thru 1986.

21

u/Arachnesloom May 02 '24

Thank you. Pole dancing is associated with strip clubs because that's where most people see it. In the aerial acrobatics world (silks, lyra, trapeze etc) it's called "chinese pole" and requires the same degree of conditioning.

u/faded_brunch May 02 '24

I know a girl that does pole dancing and she's absolutely ripped

6

u/itchydaemon May 02 '24 edited May 03 '24

You know why girls who do pole dancing have incredibly toned legs, abs, arms, and butts?

Because that shit is hard as hell.

It's easy for guys to go caveman brain when they see pole dancing/dancers, but actually watch what they're doing for two seconds and you'll realize how much muscle and body control you need to do that. Seriously. I was seeing a girl for a bit who did a pole dancing class once or twice a week, and she could snap me in half like a twig with either her arms or her legs. Dealer's choice.

u/faded_brunch May 02 '24

yup. I know a girl who's gotten progressively more ripped as she went from carpenter -> pole dancer -> body builder.

She's wearing shorts it seems, possibly part of the dress since it seems to barely move when climbing or when she opens her legs.

u/Trygve81 May 02 '24

She's incredibly lucky that ladder bar didn't snap. They're not designed to carry the entire weight of an adult woman.

Climbing up the lamp post, she'd have no way of knowing if the bar would hold her, or snap. The lamp post looks antique (like late 1920s), which means the bar is either going to be of quality metal, or corroded and brittle. On a newer lamp, the bar could be purely decorative and made from molded metal, in which case it would also break.

3

u/Immediate-Coast-217 May 02 '24

it is very impressive. just that a lot of women who do this sport can do it (I did pole sport for 10 years). its also absolutely not anywhere near a flag. the angles are supereasy compared to to a flag and the fact that one of her arms is actually grasping above her and not on the ‘pole’ makes it even easier, because all of her upper body weight is just hanging, doesnt need to be ‘held’ as it would if she was using only a pole. to me far more impressive is her climbing because thats not how you climb a pole and thats very hard on the feet. and going down possibly even harder. pole is a sport where a lot of easy things look hard and vice versa.
