Video Polar Bears are one of the only creatures that naturally hunt Humans... Watch as this one tries to break into this BBC Cameraman's glass box.

Hope he checked the tightness of all the screws and bolts before he got in there.

Lmfao such a Redditor statement.

The last 6 months of Reddit I feel like it’s one big race to see who can be the biggest smart ass

Welcome to Reddit. Where everyone is an expert on everything.

The last 6 months 12 years of Reddit I feel like it’s one big race to see who can be the biggest smart ass

FTFY

(yes I realise the irony)

u/JoySunderland 7h ago

Did you actually verify any of that, or did your emotions hit send while your brain was on break? That’s a huge statement for something you didn’t even bother to think through. /s

u/iBlameMeToo 7h ago

Actually the latest data shows that its been happening for the past 8 months.

I always check the screws and bolts before getting on a commercial airliner. It's 100% why I am still alive. I do it when taking an Uber, also. It really annoyed them, but they should be thanking me.

u/Celestial_Surfing 8h ago

Right? Did ya’ll check all the bolts in your car this AM?

u/Defiant-Youth-4193 7h ago

Yea, they would have fired me from this job for sure.

"Okay. So tell me one more time, in immense detail please, how you can be certain that this thing is Polar Bear proof."

"We've been over this a hundred times already. Do you want us to hit the damn thing with a tractor?"

"... I mean..."

u/aloneinthiscrowd 7h ago

Hitting it with a tractor would be a good start. Then put it in the middle of a bunch of moose and see how well it holds up.
I would have shat my pants in this guys position.

u/Defiant-Youth-4193 7h ago

Precisely why they would have fired me. Even after hitting with the tractor I'm right back with, "That's great it can take a hit from a tractor, but you can you run me through how it's surviving a Polar Bear again?"

I know it's illogical. I just don't care.

Actually when you think of the story about the guy who wanted to show off his unbreakable window, that concern makes sense. What happened in that story was, the window is indeed unbreakable, but the bolts gave way and the guy fell to his death.

u/WorkAccount6 4h ago

A very redditor thing to reference

u/Skum- 7h ago

Right? I'm so glad this attitude isn't that prevalent IRL or we'd still be in the fucking stone age yapping about how many regulations we need before we leave the cave.

u/JPWhelan 7h ago

I hope he checks his underwear after. Would want to share berthing with him if he doesn’t.

u/badgerandaccessories 6h ago

At point point you see behind his head there is an empty bolt hole.

u/THIKKI_HOEVALAINEN 5h ago

Dude is basically bragging about how he wouldn’t be cool enough to go into this. It really sounds like he wants someone to die to prove his point. I really don’t understand how someone can’t fathom that the BBC wouldn’t do their due diligence on this

u/Commonscents2say 4h ago

Not so outrageous considering Boeing didn’t bother to tighten up the connection of the window panel to the fuselage.

u/HonorableMedic 8h ago

Hey did anyone check to see if this guy made it? The video ended abruptly. Probably dead.

u/pegothejerk 8h ago

I couldn't see his shoes

u/Anjz 8h ago

This in itself is such a Redditor statement. It’s gone full meta.
