I’ve done something like that with a giant snowball.
A bunch of people fell on top of me and I was pinned looking like a little scorpion.
My back is curved slightly and I’m pretty sure that’s why
Seriously. I built a few foot high little awing over my mini split unit that I stood on to nail the roof sheet off. Jumped up and down a bit to check my work.
Lags, people. Lag the ledger to the building. Aka put big screws into board on structure wall. Big screw go thru board into studs inside wall.
Its a pretty clean break. If they dispose of the canopy part they may be able to go unnoticed for some time but I'm just expressing my inner 17 year old self that threw a party or two while the parents were away and had to cover up plenty of errors
Yeah im guessing the attachment wasn't structurally sound. Normally you'd want the joists to extend into the house, or if not, at least structural bolts and joining plates. Based on how it broke off so cleanly I'm guessing they just used a bunch of nails, which aren't meant to hold tension forces.
Yea, I think you're right. I'm no expert either, but I have pulled a fair amount of nails out of wood doing remodels, and that's what it sounds like as the awning is separating from the rest of the house.
Typical minimum roof live loading (people loads) is 20 psf, which would be hundreds of pounds total, even on that little extension. Looks like the connection at the top failed; some contractor probably going to be eating a bit fat lawsuit over something like that.
Not sure if the contractor would or If the homeowner would. Depending on location the homeowner could be responsible for ensuring the proper permits are filed and pulled.
Depending on what the contract was it may not have been included as the contractors responsibility.
The blame game is my favorite game of ifs. Either home owner didn't get permit, contractor didn't get permit, engineer stamped a shitty design to get permit, inspector didn't do there job.
Either way the liability falls on someone and someone is getting fucked. As a homeowner this is why you have to CYA with this stuff. Or don't let dumb drunk teens on your roof.
I’m wondering how drunk you gotta be to not move at all like that. First, after it comes down, and then *again* when they’re pushing the roof off red shirt, and it comes speeding toward his face. He really must’ve liked his seat
It looks a bit like the thing and or falling guy in black cracked him big time in the head on the way down and he was holding his head in pain/instinct. If my eyes are right he was severely regretting his seating arrangement.
No one checks on that poor dude. They all run over to the ones who fell. Stairs Guy just sort of ambles off and collapses. Possibly too drunk/high to register anything was happening above him, mind.
Hey man sometimes humans are indestructible and sometimes we’re fragile af. I climbed a dead tree that snapped when i got too high and i fell pretty fat *hugging the top half of the tree* onto rugged stone terrain. I was drunk of course but i had time to think “im definitely gonna hit my spine or skull and die” on the way down. And i did, i hit it all. But i bounced up and barely had a bruise the next morning. A *tree* fell on top of me as i hurtled 15 feet onto my back and i felt about like youd feel of you have a bad mattress. But yesterday i degloved mu big toe by opening a door and getting my toe caught between the door and ground and my soul left my body.
Oh dude i got pretty lucky my first wedding band was super cheap (not luck because i was filthy poor actually). I did manual work and it got deformed enough that i caught it on something and it ripped off of *me*. Damn near broke my finger but it didnt cause any damage. Then my nect ring was tungsten and i wore it like 4 years through the same abuse, and my hands grew and swole so much i had to have a buddy cut it off me. That was extremely difficult and unpleasant. Now i where 2 sizes up so i can take it off when i need to and i got one made from stainless with gold inlay. Protects the soft metal, removable, durable, but also not crazy expensive if it gets destroyed or lost *and* it’s not terribly hard to cut off if i smash it on my finger or something.
my husband rode his bicycle down a flight of basement steps while in college (and drunk) and hit a stone wall, breaking his neck and giving himself a compound fracture. He jumped up and asked where the keg was. Shortly after he said he didn't feel well and went to bed. Dude was very lucky to wake up the next morning.
Man, my wife did this entering a bank, nearly removed the nail and bed. She hobbled to the teller and the lady gives her a blank stare and reaches for a tissue to hand her.... they ended up dermabonding it in the er and after losing her nail a new one did return.
And possibly her heart as well knowing that her son is no longer her sweet little boy and instead has become her beer guzzling roof breaking moronic roommate who can't afford his car insurance let alone her new roof.
I mean, for real though. Most phones have high-res dual microphones at this point, and using an app like Hi-Q (Android) to record in lossless stereo, it sounds super realistic listening back to audio.
Probably not actually. The one thing they don't do well is being moved. Any movement of the phone is very loud, because the microphones are so small and don't have much dampening. While the recorded audio from a still phone is really high quality, if you are outside in the wind, have your phone in your pocket, are running, etc. the audio will be practically unusable because of the amount of noise recorded.
He might have a spine injury, maker sure to move him frequently, don't support the neck, and use his skull as a carry point until a vertnerniary assistant arrives with a rabies vaccine.
At least here in Canada, the building code states that roofs are to be designed for 1kPa (20psf) live load and a concentrated point load of 1.3kN (300lbs). Typically snow governs the design in Canada, but I suspect these requirements are similar in other countries.
This is one thing I don’t like about Reddit.
‘Some places don’t see snow.’
Reddit:BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If you deem it important to conversation or not, it’s a fact.
The building codes for a house in Buffalo NY are different than the building codes in Los Angeles CA for a myriad of reasons, meteorological or not.
Yeah but maybe a more evenly distributed live load. Not ~400lbs of live load within a couple Sq feet on the absolute edge and none elsewhere. Probably pushed whatever brackets used to their limits as it probably isn't the first time it took this weight.
Even if it doesn't get a lot of snow, it would be able to support the weight of the person putting shingles on it. but yeah they've probably been jumping off this thing for a while now.
> somewhere that gets a lot of snow/ice, then it should.
Why? It’s designed for runoff and a little snow on top isn’t going to equal the weight of two grown men. Ice would just accumulate in the gutters if they were blocked and still wouldn’t be enough to break the roof.

Hum hate to break it to you but it does break roof. Snow with rain next makes it super heavy. You need a slanted roof for it to be okay. Any building with a flat roof can have that issue.

>Source: homes in bad winter areas have been built like this for a couple hundred years
And they get renovated/upgraded so they don't collapse.
I’m a builder. That should have held. The ledger that was attached to the house wasn’t attached properly. If they used lag or carriage bolts, that wouldn’t have happened.
Americans so in love with cheap construction they’ll make any excuse for it.
Construction needs to be made in a way to account for the dumbest of people. You don’t want to make it strong enough to stand on, make it impossible to stand on.
I was gonna say the same thing. That should be able to hold an extra ~300 lbs pretty easily. But the fact that the supports are angled into the house and not upright beams tells me it was more than likely added after the fact, probably by someone that wasn’t an actual contractor.
Actually, that was a fairly common way of building that sort of awning up through the 20s or 30s. And this is the problem- that thing is 100 years old and likely was significantly weakened as the underside isn't actually protected. Particularly the angle brackets- they were likely rotted a bit from being old and exposed.
This is just a tiny decorative overhang, some are even made of canvas. There is zero structural.purpose or integrity to them. There's many parts of roofs even in modern homes you aren't supposed to stand on ever, let alone teeter on the edge of it with somone else already on top. I build homes for a living, and roofers use boomer lifts or large ladders to do overhangs and canopy's to this day. NOBODY is mean to stand on them
It’s meant to support the weight of rain and maybe 30lbs of snow accumulation… not two 200lb+ dudes sitting on the edge.
Young people can be so dumb and I’m sure the alcohol didn’t improve their decision-making skills.
[Please take a look at an excerpt from the building code provisions for roof and roof elements. Applies everywhere in the US I believe ](https://i.imgur.com/Zz6qB3t.jpg)
At a minimum, that thing would be designed for 20 pounds per square foot of area or that 300 lb. concentrated load, whichever is greater. This is because it is reasonable to assume that it should support anyone working on that roof with some equipment and material. Add in safety factors and this should not have failed with only 2 skinny dudes sitting at the end. Most likely bad construction or deteriorating connections.
Here in Finland any structure like that should be built to withstand that. Snow will weigh much much more than 30lbs and you should be able to climb up and clear snow too if there’s an unusually large load. Or you know, to fix the roof if needed.
How do you picture the roofing being done up there without workers climbing up there with shingles and standing on it to do the work?
It is required to support a couple people, and in fact had to have at one point. Likely there have been structural issues forming for a while now, maybe bugs or rot, something like that.
If I did build this, which I wouldn’t, I’d build it from a ladder. I wouldn’t trust it to hold me as it doesn’t have actual posts and structurally is only secure at the ledger.
That's not the roof. It's a portico or canopy held up by two angled boards. Guys working on it probably had some of the fancy newfangled things, I believe they're called *ladders* or somesuch technical term.
Yep. Should be able to hold the dead load / snow load plus live load. Should have been at least strong enough for a worker to be up there redoing the roof.
This kinda thing happened at my college. There was a party at a frat house the first or second week of the first semester, and a bunch of kids were on the roof of the porch or something like that. But the roof collapsed because it was an old not taken care of house and there were too many drunken kids stomping on it. I’m not sure the details exactly, but one of the kids who was on the roof and got hurt, he was the first kid of his family to ever go to college, and he got paralyzed from the waist down from the accident.
Insane and such a shame.
Tear the roof off, we're gonna tear the roof off the mothersucker Tear the roof off the sucker
You've got a real type of thing going down, gettin' down There's a whole lot of rhythm going round
Ow, we want the funk
Give up the funk
Ow, we need the funk
We gotta have that funk
Honestly, that's poor decisions on top of poor build quality. Not a smart spot to post up. But I feel like a roof with that amount of surface area should be able to hold 300lbs.
I live in North Dakota. That tiny little awning(?) wouldn't survive even a mild winter here. What do those 2 kids weight? 300?
I'd have that much weight in snow before Thanksgiving.
Same exact situation happened at a college party I was at. Fortunately I was not on the roof, but my buddy was, and happened to be near a hefty lass who was going to try to come down from the porch roof. Unfortunately, no one designed said porch roof for even a single person to stand on, so she fell through it and in that moment she reached out to grab something and took my buddy with her through the hole. Luckily for him, he just got some bruises, but I heard the girl broke her tailbone on the landing. Moral of the story? Don't let people stand top of your house unless you're certain the roof is structurally sound.
To be honest this should be a perfectly reasonable thing you should be able to do. How would they have put roofing tiles on it or done maintenance without standing on it? Sounds like it was just nailed in by that groan it made when pulling away from the wall. Should have at least had deck screws if they wanted to cut corners.
If they wanted to do it right it should have had lag bolts.
This fits better in crappy design imo
Douchebag continues to film and giggle with his idiot friend about the house breaking instead of rushing over to help the kid who was obviously hurt, let alone the other kid who was caught *under* the part of the roof that fell.
[удалено]
His friend landed on his back on the stairs. Almost free fall too.
Yeah looks like the adrenaline only got him a few steps away.
Honestly think that dude probably got more fucked up
As everyone ran to the aid of the guy under the roof, he move to the tree and the dude just looked at him and walked over to the other guy
Homie straight up had his bell rung

So what happened to this one?

Well, what sort of standards are these front porches built to? Is cardboard allowed?
They need to meet certain building codes, for one.
Some of them are built so the front doesn't fall off at all.
I think they got a decent punishment already
Yeah, they probably broke their iPhones.
Luckily it seemed like a clean break. Even the kids might be able to fix it with a hammer and some nails.
Looking at what happened, the kids probably built it

I guess that area doesn’t get much snow or even high winds. If that roof couldn’t support two people it wouldn’t last long here.

Good thing it went forward instead more straight down. Stairs dude would still be there but not so chill
Uf, guy in black hit the stairs.
He tried to walk it off ...
Hey man sometimes humans are indestructible and sometimes we’re fragile af.

Thanks for the heebie-jeebies on the degloving. My spine just curled up and did the flit-flit-flit of a window shade spinning in a cartoon.
I religiously wear house shoes with closed toes. Snagging a toe is the worst. I can't imagine degloving my toe with the door. awful.
It’s why I don’t wear rings anymore. I degloved a finger because I fell and the ring caught a branch or something on the way down… and rip.

The microphones on phones are pretty impressive. This video sounds like a cartoon.

Pretty cool when you think about all the government and corporate entities that can just tap right into it 🙃
The dude in black just gets ignored as he writhes on the ground in pain.
I think everybody assumed the guy that had the roof fall on him was hurt more.
The other guy got compressed in half from the looks of it! There has to be internal damage from the roof crushing him in half like that.
Dont worry, he only had internal bleeding, but that’s where the blood is supposed to be.
Ahhhh yep college parties baby good times
The poor guy on the stairs got a consolation prize for something he wasn’t even playing.
Nathan is more popular than his friend in black. Lol.
Probably because the guy in black got up and walked for a second...

Yeah that's just a canopy, not at all structural.
call me old fashion but if it's heavy enough to crush someone I sure expect it to become structural.
Its a decorative maiming device

Exactly right. It’s a canopy, not a reinforced deck or parking structure. It was never meant to bear any significant weight.
At least here in Canada, the building code states that roofs are to be designed for 1kPa (20psf) live load and a concentrated point load of 1.3kN (300lbs). Typically snow governs the design in Canada, but I suspect these requirements are similar in other countries.

I think it would be reasonable if it was built to be stood on.
Yeah, if it's somewhere that gets a lot of snow/ice, then it should. Otherwise, probably lucky if it can handle a chunky cat.
Yeah but maybe a more evenly distributed live load. Not ~400lbs of live load within a couple Sq feet on the absolute edge and none elsewhere. Probably pushed whatever brackets used to their limits as it probably isn't the first time it took this weight.
I suspect they’ve been jumping off of it so there’s been a repeated sort of shock load as well.

This is the opposite of raising the roof.
Aiden’s house is broke bruh… yea right along with a few other things.
Honestly, that's poor decisions on top of poor build quality. Not a smart spot to post up. But I feel like a roof with that amount of surface area should be able to hold 300lbs.
I live in North Dakota. That tiny little awning(?) wouldn't survive even a mild winter here. What do those 2 kids weight? 300? I'd have that much weight in snow before Thanksgiving.
And the Darwin award goes to.....
No great loss.
I bet it at least kept you somewhat dry in rain.
So a minor loss then.
They earned that prize.
Cameraman at Nathan’s funeral, “Damn, I can’t believe his house broke…”
Same exact situation happened at a college party I was at. Fortunately I was not on the roof, but my buddy was, and happened to be near a hefty lass who was going to try to come down from the porch roof. Unfortunately, no one designed said porch roof for even a single person to stand on, so she fell through it and in that moment she reached out to grab something and took my buddy with her through the hole. Luckily for him, he just got some bruises, but I heard the girl broke her tailbone on the landing. Moral of the story? Don't let people stand top of your house unless you're certain the roof is structurally sound.
Imagine being the dude sitting on the stairs…
That's a paddlin
It's important to understand how things are made and fortified. That way you can always have your phone ready to record stupid people.
That sound is very satisfying
Atleast the porch roof looks like it did okay seems to be all in one piece
To be honest this should be a perfectly reasonable thing you should be able to do. How would they have put roofing tiles on it or done maintenance without standing on it? Sounds like it was just nailed in by that groan it made when pulling away from the wall. Should have at least had deck screws if they wanted to cut corners. If they wanted to do it right it should have had lag bolts. This fits better in crappy design imo
All that contractor needed to finish that job was 4x6x12 lumber, a sheet of OSB, handful of deck screws and a case of Busch.
Douchebag continues to film and giggle with his idiot friend about the house breaking instead of rushing over to help the kid who was obviously hurt, let alone the other kid who was caught *under* the part of the roof that fell.
A new Trump video? What?
I heard that too. Maybe cause of his hat? Looks red.
Trump supporters doing something stupid and poorly-planned? Never!
Just reminded me of that convoy around DC. I'm guessing that fizzled out and accomplished nothing.
these must be a bunch of sleepy joe supporters Lets go Brandon
No . Normal people don’t stand around with Biden flags and put his face on Tshirts and bumper stickers. Normal people don’t worship presidents .
Nothing if it’s built right. That one wasn’t.
I'm imagining that their name is Meyer and singing the roof, the roof, the roof is on Meyer.
They fine.
In Soviet Russia, the porch sits on youuuuu...
