I mean yeah he's got a business to run! How long do you think those people will wait for a drink before the crawl across the street to the next pub. Besides it gives that distracted ass some time to think about being on his distraction machine in the middle of a busy shift.

Hard to tell in the gif but it isn't a cell phone. He is unwrapping something. 3:25
Even if it was what dumb fuck leaves a trap door open in a work walkway?

Oh apparently many do!

I feel his pain.

I saw a good episode of the Disney+ series "Mind games" (I think that is the name of it) that explained how your mind sometimes fills in the blanks and shows you what you expect to see even when it's not there, particularly if you are distracted. Assuming this isn't a setup, that could be what happened here. You think the floor should be there so your mind doesn't see the gapping hole.

Having dealt with raised floors for close to 40 years, I've seen this happen many times. Fortunately was was never in a deep one. I've personally stepped on a tile that wasn't secured correctly and went through it.

About five years ago I took a tour of a data center outside Richmond, VA. It is space converted from what use to be a chip manufacturing plant. Sony used to produce chips for the Playstation 3 there.

The floor of the plant had to be seismic-isolated from any vibration at all. It was a complicated suspended floor raised over 50 ft of suspension. They had see through panels in a section of the floor so you could see underneath. I'm not height adverse, but it gave me the willies to stand on that tile and look down through the floor.

The skywalk is crazy. Expensive... but worth it to do once for sure. I've been back to the Grand Canyon a few times but we just walked around on our own after that. They try to take your phones too so you can't take pictures and have to buy theirs.. for safety.

Brings to mind, back in the farming community, a major money making job for a teen age boy, was to help baling hay and straw. One of the jobs was to stack the hay in the hay lofts.

Yep, hot summer days, tin roof on the barn, up high in the dark loft, dripping wet from sweat, covered with hay chaff, we would lug 70 lb. hay bales across the hayloft floor and stack them to the ceiling.

The floors on the barns were made of lose planks and covered with lose hay. Nothing like carrying a 70 lb. bale of hay and all at once the floor plank gives way. -

After we baled hay all day, we would go to another farm and bale straw. It was later in the afternoon and evening, so it was cooler and the straw bales were lighter -

Then go home, feed the livestock, wash off in a hog waterer, so my mother would let me in the house, eat a ton of fried chicken, grits and green beans. Then go out in the barnyard, lay on an Army cot under the large maple trees and cool off.

THE END OF THE DAY

Yep, my brother had a similar experience in my Grandfather's dairy/hay barn. He was about 8 years old at the time. We were playing in the loft when he stepped on a board and went through the floor falling into the milk room about 10 ft below which had concrete floor.

Fortunately for him, he fell directly into a half-full sweet feed barrel (an old whisky barrel from the Member's Mark distillery).

Unfortunately for him, when he hit, he bit completely through the soft tissue in his mouth leaving a hole you could stick a finger through. They were able to stitch it up, but he ended up with a scar from it.

Nice piece of special effects editing there, or at least it looks like it, since the cracks disappear at the end of GIF.

The cracks are faked. Chinese practical joke.

Interesting, and a little sadistic. I like it.

One thing about visiting any attraction in China, you are never alone. You are following a thousand other people. So nothing is a surprise.

....and a thousand other people are following you. You just can't see them.
