Sure, OK, but that is basically like repeatedly dropping a manhole cover from 3 inches above someone's back.

And then she went to say hello to magic portal, the manhole cover?

This vid has a lot of comments on yt! Some of my favourites are:

• parque leptospirose (Leptospirosis park, like as in fun park, only not so much fun)
  
• Cadê a mãe dessas criaturas?É perigoso fazer isso! (Where is the mother of these creatures? It's dangerous to do that!)
  
• E do jeito que eu conheço os politicos brasileiros... não vou ficar surpreso quando oficializarem isso como transporte público. (And from the way I know Brazilian politicians... I will not be surprised when they formalise it as public transportation)
  

On the whole they are split between the sentiment of "oh let them be kids" and they shouldn't do it either from traffic, open manhole covers, or whatever. I admit that leptospirosis wasn't my first thought when I saw the vid, but it's a nasty disease and well worth avoiding, and since it is transmitted via animal urine I can see how it could be a risk. Many of the comments pointed out that risk, as well as typhoid and other bacterial infections. Others said they did it too and were fine

That's not just mesh. That's more like security bar fencing. My guess is someone well-meaning but without much mechanical intelligence thought it would be strong enough for cars to drive over, and better than an open hole, so they welded it to a cylinder that happened to fit and poof, instant manhole cover. Either way, that's an engineering *fail.

720p manhole cover video's, the future of entertainment is here.

Crowd: "CLAP..CLAP..CLAP...YAY!!"
Nancy Reagan: "WTF??..where am I?..who are you!!..your not Ronny!?!?!?"
Marco Rubio: "STFU old lady...and keep walking"
Nancy Reagan: **notices the manhole cover is missing and sees her chance to escape**
Marco Rubio: "get back here!!!"
Crowd: "CLAP...CLAP....WOO-Hooooo.....**silence**"

Did I hear a "bonjour" at the end there?
Moral of this story: Never park over a manhole cover.


Actually, I'm gonna call that one a "Mon Dieu", not a "bonjour" and go out on a limb and slap on a *Canada tag

I suspect that even if the cones were in place she would have tripped over those and then gone head first into the sewer.

It's her responsibility to watch where she's going because you can't expect safety cones around every hazard. What if some kids had removed the manhole cover as a prank? Or if there was a plank of wood with a nail sticking up from it that had fallen from a garbage truck? Or a thousand other possible hazards that can be found on most city streets?

Hah, i'll get right on it

Yeah but that cold actually sounds pretty damn good to me.

What we need are four portals about the size of a manhole cover. I'll put one outside my front door and you put its counterpart in your house - free heating.

Likewise, if you would be so kind as to put one outside your door, I'll use its twin to bring some sweet coolness to my house.

the meek shall inherit the earth...soon as that pesky manhole cover is removed.

Fall in hole guy has a broken arm now, you see how that lid landed on his arm? Ouch. That hurt a lot worse than the ass bruising, I bet.

Also, WTF?

Edit:Although, he does use it right afterwards... hmm, maybe that's a "light" manhole cover?
