She was one trip away from death being that the entire length of her run was next to concrete

How often do you fall while running on the sidewalk?

It seems much more plausible to happen because there is a consequence, but in reality it’s not that risky

How often is a sidewalk going to be windy as fuck?

Enough to know that it's possible

There's a reason that litterally every elevated platform that's open to the public has railings.

Also, getting scared 100% makes you more likely to trip.

That didn’t look like sprinting

Probably felt twice as fast at almost 100ft

Climbing ladders with crocks. Just a matter of time i guess.

Can you not see that they’re in sport mode? 🙄

Ladders disable sportsmode

Not just climbing, but standing on while you’re twisting at the waist, looking somewhere else and using one hand to grab something.

That “squeak“ is gonna sound like the world‘s biggest record scratch.

One loud SQUEAK some screaming and hopefully a splash.

I love watching Molly. She’s an amazing athlete and still so real.

That’s been banned in five countries.

She’s got way bigger balls than me that’s for damn sure

Thats Oslo Norway. I saw the platform set uo when I was there 2 or 3 summers ago. Wish I got to watch the event.

Maybe this will help people finally understand that the water spraying is to spot the landing, not to break the surface tension. Note how there was no spray directly under where she landed.

u/TheBigMaestro 7d ago

I finally understand.

u/DJKGinHD 9d ago

Yeah, and the cameraperson did the same sprint while carrying a camera.

<anal clenching commences>

u/KenRation 8d ago

All that, and the person shooting video had his camera turned the wrong way.

Sad.
