      I watched it several times trying to figure out where that came from. Your loot explanation makes the most sense.

    This is the sort of thing he noticed but ignored, the poorly connected railing, and after this fall is recalling how yesterday’s lack of proactiveness is biting him in the ass today.

    Or maybe I’m projecting as that’s definitely something I’d do.

      idk it kind of looks like he hit himself in the head with it pretty good during the fall. It’s obscured behind one of the housing posts but you can still kind of see based on how the railing and his head/upper body moves.

    Probably rusted out. Sometimes some top rails are carelessly welded which leaves a gap where it attaches to the square tube. In time, water accumulates inside the tube and pools on the bottom, rusting away from the inside out. To the naked eye it might just look like fine since it’s covered by 17 coats of paint, but structurally it’s just corn flakes.

    SOURCE: Grew up in the Caribbean and Louisiana. First salt (Caribbean) then rain & half-assed everything (Louisiana).

    Proof of shitty railing or super strength?
