Your mirror is bent. Even your door looks skinny in that mirror. Should we feel sorry for you, now that you are free to do something useful and positive with your life? Shoot a horizontal video of something nice!

Adrenalin. Its really exciting when something dangerous is happening close by. Its like youre drunk or a bit high, you say stupid things in a funny voice. What could they have done better? The explosion would not have fit in a horizontal video. The "get out of the way before the holy shit hits us" magnitude of this is easily apparent and they get going fairly expediently.

I took judo for like, 2 hours, so I'm like an expert on cushioning falls, but I've done this landing -from about that high- both forwards and backwards and it's 20x less painful on your back.

You have to be going quite a bit faster than a 12-14 ft drop before the "like hitting concrete" effect starts to factor in. The horizontal speed she has helps too. The force isn't straight down but on an angle.

I will agree she probably had the breath knocked out of her.

You're right. I don't do much video recording on my phone.

There is a work around if you do switch in the middle. You watch the horizontal part lying down.

@2:20: "I just realized I should have been filming this horizontally... I'm sorry"

4k should be called 4x (4 times) or better - 2160p to be in line with every previous standard of video resolution. Why does everyone call it 4k? Are we rounding the width measurement up now (3840)? When do we ever round pixels? When did we switch from vert to horizontal pixels? I guess i have to start calling 1080 2k since its about twice as many mega pixels as 720.

... oh yeah, cool video.

Your video, Gym Fail - Horizontal Rowing, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

By horizontal you mean vertical right?

I always see 50% of waisted horizontal space on the sides on this site. Could you change

section > .content-box {
width: 980px;
to
width: 90%;

At what point does this intersect with base jumpers who can fly horizontally for far greater distances? It seemed as though this guy was simply limited because the mountain ended...

Seems as though she's paraphrased Feynman's video.

Instinctively, I know it's a reflection. What is closest to the plane of the mirror on one side will appear closest to the plane on the refection. We don't flip horizontal or vertically, we reflect. What is on our right stays to the right, and what is left, stays to to the left.
I love Feynman, and I can listen to him for hours. but I didn't need his discussion to understand it either.

From a scientific point of view, I suppose it's good to lay it out. A solid foundation is the best thing to build off of, and finding the words to describe seemingly abstract ideas is always a challenge. This one was easy, but I know they get harder.

Why do mirrors flip horizontally (but not vertically)? has been added as a related post - related requested by messenger on that post.

plus a normal "horizontal" video would not have captured those cut-off-jean-shorts, which certify this as taking place during authentic redneck event.

It was an awesome jump though.
