Girl injured during ALS bucket challenge

[Thebesteva]

RIP to the bucket challenge

[cantthinkofanything]

Hopefully, she's not going to start a new challenge trend of dropping a full bucket of water on one's head.

My dad died of ALS 6 years ago, so imo it's pretty awesome to see a 1000% increase in donations since it's started. Especially since it's never been in the spotlight, and half the population doesn't even know what it is. Awareness is awareness regardless of how re ed some people are.

These fails are great though, some of these jabronies may even be dead. In their cases, they should have just donated the $$

A few of the posters here probably saw mine on FB - might I note I ALSO donated (the way it should be).

I'm a huge fan of Diaw and his passing game, but you could use better pics of him for your avy

Person who dropped that bucket needs to be slapped. Could've broken that little girl's neck.

Note to people: water is heavy

yep, a liter of water has a mass of 1 Kg

that doesn't sound super heavy to me. I can support several Kg of weight on my head and not suffer any significant consequence. That girl acted like she got a cannonball dropped on her head.

There's a reason why force is based on acceleration. An object dropped even a short distance has a lot more impact strength than an object placed somewhere.

which is heavier, a ton of feathers or a ton of pennies?

A ten gallon bucket of water weighs over 80 lbs. This is the size bucket that appears to be dropped in OP video. Would you let someone drop 80 lbs on your head?

They weigh the same, but their impact strengths when dropped are different.

Exactly. Most of these people are just looking for a trend to themselves on social media to try to get popular. Everyone is looking for the next harlem shake fad to catch on like this so they can post a video up about it. They don't even know what ALS is or are even donating money. One of the guitarist I've followed for a long time has had ALS since he was 20. He still composes music with his eyes using a special computer system.


I'm all about supporting causes, yet I don't know one person who has actually donated anything.

[cantthinkofanything]

Wrong. They weigh the same. Other than the pennies being harder, they'll have the same impact. If you put a board in your head and then the bag, they'll be the same. To Darrin, 80 pounds may seem heavy but just think about those acrobats that stand on each other's head. They are more than 80 pounds and the do this with no problem.
