Whatever you do, don’t do this.

Video uploaded to YouTube in 2015 that is still getting a lot of love on the internet shows an older man with a lot of free time on his hands punching a bear trap and getting away with it. Which is insane, my anxiety went off the roof after watching this.
Whose idea of a fun time is this? This guy right here, with all of his fingers intact. The quickness is still there, we’ll give him that, he’s like a Jedi. As soon as his swift jab landed he was out of there in a heartbeat. Do you think he has practiced this before, or was it just pure dumb luck?
It should be obvious, but we’ll say it anyway: do not try this at home.
Editors Note: This post was originally published on July 2, 2019. We brought it back to remind you that although this looks pretty cool, you probably shouldn’t play with bear traps. Because well, you might not be as lucky as this man. If you would like to see more content like this, visit our humor section here.
