They all lived long enough to know better. This is the video I watch when I think I’m getting sick and the laughter it produces raises my immune system enough to keep me well.
The 4 guys in the foreground are just standing around like nothing happened! I don't understand why they didn't try to help. And then the groan doesn't come right away but quite a few seconds after the fall.
They are members of a senior sports group from Switzerland. Two of them broke their back an one had two broken rips but they've all recovered and are walking, hiking and exercising. Apart from frequent back pain they are all fine and still enjoy their annual hiking excursions.
Wife: Enjoy your hiking trip Gary, don’t do anything stupid! Gary: We won’t! 😇 5 hours later: Gary: I’ve broken my back and I’m being airlifted to hospital after falling from a giant seesaw.
A group of 14 Swiss pensioners who posed for a photograph by balancing on a children’s seesaw have spoken for the first time - and say that the injuries sustained by the group are no laughing matter. The video, which showed how the group ended up tumbling to the ground on a huge seesaw, went viral across the world after the footage emerged online. But what the video doesn’t show is that many of the pensioners ended up hospitalised, with injuries ranging from a broken back and broken ribs through to sprained arms and legs. Josef Schriber, 69, says that he was left with a broken back after the man next to him, aged 80, landed on top of him. Josef said: ‘The doctors did a great job on fixing me and I’m walking again now although I have a bad back. ‘But I really thought I was going to die at the time. It’s me you can hear screaming on the video. It is lucky we are all in good shape, we regularly play volleyball together. It was supposed to be a four-day hiking holiday but it didn’t work out well even though we all thought it was a good idea at the time.’ He added: ‘I didn’t intend to go so high, but once I was standing on the seesaw people kept saying go higher, go higher, and suddenly I was at the top.’ Mountain rescue services have since confirmed that several ambulances needed to be called to take the injured pensioners to hospital. In the video, the group of pensioners can be seen attempting to work the seesaw, with one heard to say: ‘Come on, let’s try and see we can make it move. Those at the bottom need to move to the other end.’ But once they manage it, disaster strikes as it moves back the other way - sending the group tumbling to the ground. The footage was shot in the Swiss tourist resort of Arosa - with local tourism officials confirming that while the seesaw was a popular attraction, it is not advisable to use it in the way seen by the elderly group.

And THEN there is the fact that 20 guys are friends and doing something together. Probly the last really stupid thing but it was togetherness. How many of you have 19 friends that would go out on a log with you?
I saw three 78-85 year old great aunts of mine climb a tree to swing upside-down from their knees on a tree branch after my father joked about them being "too old to still do that". Nobody was hurt, but we sworn to not tell their doctors about it.
“911 what is your emergency” “I have just found several old broken bones” “All right we will send the archeologist team to you” “No no, I mean human bones” “Wha-“

Who thought it would be a good idea to line up cane-dependent seniors on a gigantic seesaw?
They all lived long enough to know better. This is the video I watch when I think I’m getting sick and the laughter it produces raises my immune system enough to keep me well.
Me
Right?! Like kids will bounce right back up. But at this age, what did they think was going to happen?
@@adinosmic2300 me too,
and i thought people are supposed to get wise with age, must be a bunch of Senators
Who? Cane-dependent seniors of course.
at the end "awwwwwooooughhh"
:)
Michael Hixson yea lmao that sounded bad
Michael Hixson I can't breathe ... I'm awful

Ive got a broken bone right now and I instantly recognise that as the "broken bone groan".
the death cry at the end
lmao yess
I died
yea
They interviewed the man you hear scream. He broke his back when another person landed on him.
omg this comment made me die
Hope they have better sense when they grow up.
ahahahahahaha idiots grow old too
You comment is so funny 😂
Tony Tune BRUH
Bruh
Oh my goodness that was a hard laugh. Wish I was friends with you and you told me funny stuff.
I watched it so many times to track each persons trajectory and judge how much each landing would've hurt. I have too much time on my hands
So did I
Same. 4th guy from top had it really rough
I did exactly the same
Mearc yeah I think that’s the one who let out that sound at the end tbh
Same dude

Good to hear.
Thank you captain, that's good to hear indeed. And also I'm able to laugh now with more relief. :D
Still a pretty gnarly day...
Good to know they recovered 😀
That could be a death sentence for older people. Whenever grandma breaks her hip it’s just a matter of time until she dies.
Not sure if I hear bones breaking or canes breaking
I think you hear bones breaking.
They're walking canes not bones!
One had a broken back.
Both
Hips for sure
*911 operator:* "911 what's your emergency?"
"Hello I need ambulance for 10 senior citizens"
@donutdoode69 Why you so mad, it's just a small mistake.
I don’t know why but this comment made me laugh hard. So sad
*911 operator:* “Oh my gosh, what happened?”
“Well you see we had this catapult...”
HAHA
"Should we just send a fleet of hearse's?"
All i could think of was how many broke their hips?
*again
Rez 😂😂😂👌
John Aristotle a high amount of elderly that have a broke hip die within 6 months due to other complications caused by the fracture.
John Aristotle Oh my goodness, I thought the same thing as soon as I heard all of the popping and cracking. I can't believe they did this!
John Aristotle Your last name is Aristotle. Sick.
This video is totally underrated
The groan at the end always gets me 😂😂😂
That’s what did it for me 😂
Sad to report, the groaner did not make it.
@0:46
Started out fast and slowed down with each persons fall lol!!
@@supdawg_27
“Avocado… Ayy, LMAO!”
And that's how we lost half of the surviving WW2 vets
Really...you'd think at that age they had learnt physics by now.
Daz B. Evidently not.
Because they christian 👍🏽
Krispynachos 99 There aren’t any sane Christians that deny physics, so I don’t get your comment all that well.
One ticket admission straight to hell coming right up for laughing like a madman!!!
guess i won one too xD
Ricardo Moniz yeah count me in and if u understand what they r saying...u laugh even harder
JerrybinBeria I’d love to see the translation of the dialogue leading up to it. Though the auuuuggghhhh at the end is fairly universal
We’re my ticket
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I punched that ticket years ago, this was the first class seat ticket for me
Who's stupid idea was this? Looked like a setup from the beginning...smarter ones standing in front knew it already.
Has anyone else watched this 700 times in a row crying laughing each time ?
701 😆
@@joshrabatin ha ha ha
Yeah lmao
Straight to hell is where we're going 🤦♀️🤣
Yes😂😂😂😂
How bizarre that we find old people falling over funny?....in tears watching this!!!!!
It’s still okay because they recovered well
Wife: Enjoy your hiking trip Gary, don’t do anything stupid!
Gary: We won’t! 😇
5 hours later:
Gary: I’ve broken my back and I’m being airlifted to hospital after falling from a giant seesaw.
They say that day the sound of broken hips could be heard from space..
Pov- your here from wills video
😂
Yes lol
yep
Yep
I’m sure whoever was in charge of this trip for those elders got fired immediately
What could possibly go wrong?
Props to the lady in the green! She hopped down super quick. Quite agile for her age.
They are all men, no women present. Women need to keep the record of outliving their husbands, men have to prove the statistic as well.
love rewatching it looking at a new person every time
This video is truly the gift that keeps on giving!
They’re like “why are we doing this.... roy always falls and screws this up” *Roy starts Falling* “Damnit Roy” 😂😂😂😂
What makes this video so funny are the old people on the other side looking at the direction they fell as though they don't know what happened lol

When you forget your body is 70 years older than your mind.
And on that day, 11 hips were broken!
The first ever DARWIN AWARD 'Honorable Mention for a group.'
The sound of the clanging canes and the "death cry" at the end! LMBO
That moan--“UUNNNNGGHHHH!!!”
"911, send hips!"
Bryce Walburn 😂😂 this comment wins
And knees. That loud moan at the end told us someone got really hurt.
Damn somebody lost their teeth at 0:39. I hope one of them had their Life Alert, somebody definitely snapped some shit up from the cry at the end.
laughing my head off but hoping they're all ok
@Moonbat how do you know?
@Moonbat natural selection
@Moonbat Source?
who else is here from willne lol
I know it’s probably wrong to laugh, but when they fell I was on the floor wheezing

It is so super sad.
Oh well, proves you don’t have to be young to be stupid
Shouldn’t have climbed on a seesaw then, should they?
😂😂😂
Comment from my 85 year grandma: fantastic. Keep your sense of fun like that forever!
Yolo senior version! Glad to hear they all recovered from those injuries.
And THEN there is the fact that 20 guys are friends and doing something together. Probly the last really stupid thing but it was togetherness. How many of you have 19 friends that would go out on a log with you?
Michael Rush I will when I'm in a retirement home like they are/were.
good question actualy,I think I could get 19 friends to do this but then agains there will always be the ones that will find excuses.
I only have 18 friends that would do this with me
Might not have 19 friends but at least I got 2 hips
Pretty sure that's a death rattle I hear at the end...
Passdpuck93 😂😂😂😂
Wow
no it's the sound u make when you break a bone
"My leg!"
One day half of them might reach the age to look back at this and laugh
I just witnessed like 4 deaths and like 8 hip replacements😭
that sound at the end gets me
That death scream at the end tho
I saw three 78-85 year old great aunts of mine climb a tree to swing upside-down from their knees on a tree branch after my father joked about them being "too old to still do that". Nobody was hurt, but we sworn to not tell their doctors about it.
Setting a world record for most hips broken at once.
A hip replacement surgeon would be licking his lips watching this video.
I’ve never used the rewind 10 secs function so much on a video
LMAO!...and I'm going straight to hell
you probably are.
If you believe in such things
lmmfaoooooooooooooooooooooo omg im crying laughing my stomach hurts and I just keep rewinding it
baybegurl2006 this is gonna keep me from getting sick this winter. One good laugh keeps your immune system boosted for a whole day
baybegurl2006 is
I wont be sick for a whole year. Most fun ever!
I am not being mean but I don't think it's funny they could of hurt them
it's hilarious,it sucks if they hurt themsleves but they kind of asked for it and also its still just a hilarious video.
My favorite Video of all time
It's nearly up there with the Shockmaster.
Because putting old and weak seniors on a giants unstable seesaw with nothing to hold on to is obviously a good idea...
Someone needs to edit this with a pause when they were balanced and have the “it was at this point, they realized they f- - ked up” voiced over.
Lmao at the end. "Ughhhoggghhhh". Old people are the bloody worst!
This clip was on Facebook with the funniest comment I’ve ever heard!
“Snapping an popping like a bowl of rice crispies “
kevin mantle I thought the funniest was “ better than sitting in a chair all day “ I laughed til I cried
I have to slap myself on the mouth for laughing
This is my favorite video on the internet
So young at heart. They are great.
i love this video so much
This is an absolute classic
I support this in concept and execution.
They really did nail that cupid shuffle though for a time 🤭
Snap city! That camera man knew to stop recording when he heard old man's soul scream for help!
The groaning at the end 😂
Oh dear! And I know I shouldn't laugh as I could easily be one of those wacky fun-loving people! :))
That death cry at the end tho
i think thats the reason why womens lives longer than the men .D
When the seniors started falling over it got me thinking it's like they're human dominoes or something
Guy in the blue jacket wasn’t worried at all until he got GOT 😂
Grunting at the end killed me haha
Legend has it their bones are still broken
And they say kids today are dumb
I love this video
As I watched it progress, I realized they were actually TRYING to make it teeter. Crazy.
Whose bright idea was that ? the younger wives and their insurance policy 🤣
You could hear those hips cracking from a mile away!
Heartwarming
Why do I keep watching this and smiling 😃 so much
The “Old men climbing up the giant phallus of their youth” Freudian symbolism wasn’t lost on me.
You can really hear hip bones snaping.
When you get it close to the balance point, you have the people in the middle move, not the people on the edge.
I know I shouldn't laugh but the truth is I'd laugh even if I was there.
That grown he did at the end kill me every time lol.. he was hurt whoever he was lmmfao...
“911 what is your emergency”
“I have just found several old broken bones”
“All right we will send the archeologist team to you”
“No no, I mean human bones”
“Wha-“
ah man, I'm sure some got really hurt here..
This is a method of euthenasia that I approve!
I'm actually surprised they managed to complete the see, but the saw didn't go so well.
Omg xD its sooo funny, I have to watch ist again and again! :D
But I feel so bad when I am laughing about it
Notice who is on each end at the beginning and at the fall. They successfully did one rotation before disaster struck.
I live in Switzerland and gonna visit that place for sure
What is the place called?
Favorite video
Now that is one hell of a way to expedite an inheritance 😅
"Can't stop. WON'T stop. Uh-uh, uh-uh."
Guy in the bottom left corner walks away at the end
Life alert had their work cut out for them that day.
According to a news source they were hospitalized. The one groaning at the end broke his back because one fell on top of him.
"Chömed echli noche" Famous last words
I’m starting to get convinced that women do live longer than men
If u let them drain ur life force as most men do. The oldest person alive is male
Anyone else here from S2W?
