Base-jumping barnacle goose - Life Story: Episode 1 Preview - BBC One

[@grazzellian]

Each time I watch this, I can't breath. Heart-wrenching but inspirational. Talking of learning in the schoool of hard knocks. This is it.

[@MoribundRamiel]

Oh God! the little squeaks it made whenever it hit of the rocks! This is somehow heartbreaking yet exhilarating at the same time. Incredible footage!

[@underpantswedgy]

Dont be fooled by sound effects which are added in the BBC editing studio later to make it sound realistic.

[@underpantswedgy]

another one is fooled lol.

[@33interzona]

underpantswedgy From 1:47 to 1:57 you can see it moves.

[@underpantswedgy]

***** They add sound effects of the animals that are impossible to reach by the camera crew. I It is fact! Of course all animals aren't hard to reach, so no need to add sound effects.

[@underpantswedgy]

underpantswedgy I see... and your point is?

[@tabithabrewster3623]

How. The. Hell. Did. That. Bird. Survive. I cried laughing at the end 😂 unbelievable

[@androv2749]

It didnt 99%, that was not the same bird - nice try by BBC tho :)

[@Crazyollie123]

Due to the bird having a high surface area to mass ratio, having a decent amount of air resistantance and luck. Also a couple million years of natural selection.

[@VOLightPortal]

Most epic way to enter into the world is ironically also the most epic way to exit.

[@xingbairong]

The irony about this is that if a human fell like that there would be only an omlet left from him at the bottom.

[@rexon31]

lol this made my day

[@remotefaith]

How is that irony?

[@xingbairong]

@@remotefaith It's bad when you don't know what words mean and you lack critical reading abilities. We are looking at a baby chick, which we associate with eggs and what do we associate eggs that fall from high with? Omelett's. So if I human falls from such a hight he will be splattered really bad(I assume) and what can we associate that with when the theme is birds? Eggs... so something that we would otherwise make an omelett out from didn't become an "omelett", yet if a human falls we will become an omelett.... irony. The usage of the word is right on point, so try being edgy somewhere else. Making me respond to 4 year old comment and explain critical reading...

[@remotefaith]

​@@xingbairong A simple question triggers an emotional, dim-witted and nonsensical screed-typical youtube. I sleep so well at night knowing that I'm nothing like people like you.

[@Jaracara11]

How da hell did that duckling survived Oo

[@okapiwildebeest751]

when i watched this episode my heart was racing for these poor chicks. I think, if i recall correctly, 3 out of the 5 survived, which makes it even more sad.

[@mushnoodle]

They actually filmed two families i think the most upsetting part was when the first family (not the one we see in this) had their surving chicks eaten by a fox right after landing... like you cant really blame the fox but damn you nature.

[@okapiwildebeest751]

yeaah true

[@chicohetero]

I thought only Homer Simpson could survive to that.

[@Tracydot3]

Just watched the first episode. This was epic. I loved how they showed how the footage was shot.

[@rickholcomb99]

I held my breath all the way down and winced at every crash. Nice of the parents to greet the baby at the bottom! I wonder what social services would say? Probably, "What were you thinking? and the parents' response, "We were told to bring them up tough!" The child then peeped in, "There's got to be a better way! What did I do to deserve parents like this!"

[@IndigoTiger]

Wow that goose was absolutely barnacles.

[@LeRuseBird]

Holy shit the editing of the baby chirps every time the baby hits the cliff gets be every time

[@rse7]

so true😂

[@Vetlerj]

"The Perfect Launch!"

[@scwarzewaffe85]

About the only thing I’ve seen on bbc that’s truthful in a long time.

[@buhedwen]

A little dazed?! That's amazing!

[@jiska111111111111111]

That's the kind of chicken Chuck Norris eats...

[@Kotroniusz]

Or the chicken that eats Chuck Norris ;)

[@bnatka]

SOMETIMES ONE GOSLING BRAVER THAN A WHOLE ARMY OF PEOPLE

[@philwaddell4958]

It's like when Homer tried to jump the springfield gorge..."Then came the rocks -- jagged rocks, hitting me with their jags"

[@brianehenry]

So funny it evens sounds (0.08) like the honking mother is saying jump, jump ! lol

[@Khusuke]

This is almost heartbreaking. :'(

[@ClaudioCampiti]

La vita è bellissima ! La natura è bellissima ! Beato chi ci crede ...

[@yourtub8705]

most badass shit Ive ever seen

[@slepycitron]

Keerist! I thought the little bugger had bent his beak good and proper.

[@haalfhippogriff1140]

Bless his little heart! He got me worried for a minute there... :P

[@ggbk8584]

the squeaks he made everytime he hit the rocks made me laugh harder than it should have

[@foux7061]

WTF Evolution?!!

[@sirecameleon]

YOLO

[@АннаДолженко-т9н]

Я думала , что он разобьется, а он жив остался!Счастливчик!

[@lrr2938]

"3 2 1, Fuck it I'm leaving home"

[@leesurfer]

Absolutely amazing such a great jump and so perilous but love that look at 2:00 from a parent. Just seen my first Barnacle yesterday

[@СергейБелый-к1ш]

Природа))) мать ее))

[@eduardalvarezfort7332]

That bird represents me during all week till Friday night

Húúú, fantasztikus felvétel...!!!

[@hauhuynh273]

I will never let my child watch this video

[@Afrocanuk]

...But what if the child finds this video on their own then calls you to watch it?

[@Turin_Inquisitor]

This is legit what I do on the staircase when I'm drunk.

[@jonkennedyfederation]

Give it time and REDBULL will be all over this!

[@lessardlisette]

Incroyable, je n'aurais jamais cri qu'il ait survécu à ce grand saut.

[@cesardavidlopezpolicio4559]

it's amaizing , a baby brant goose jumps to a risk

[@ramoj77]

how the hell did the gosling survive that jump? certified bass ass!!!!

[@wildlifenet]

Just stunning footage!

[@bartekb5780]

Most fucking hardcore thing to do I ever seen. Jump down heads on straight up to the cliff rocks...Damn that gosling goes hard. Respect

[@gizmoseb87]

this duck is so cool

[@hiruqer]

I cried a little...

[@mattroche8454]

reminds me of adolescence

[@pamaherne1851]

To me this is a powerful parable of putting faith and trust in the voice of one we know loves us even though we have no means ourselves and no proof. We can take a leap of faith in God's mercy and Providence for each of us personally even in the dying process of terminal illness. Notice the little bird didn't just crawl over the edge, it LEAPT !! I think the only fitting response to the tremendous love of our Saviour is total abandonment. Let's not take the assisted suicide route and miss the whole point and our transformation into the fully human person and saint He calls each one of us to be!

[@pamaherne1851]

I know, Paketik, but following my analogy, even if such a leap of faith does end in physical death, eternal life most certainly opens up to such a one. Eternal life full of love, with God and all the others who dare to trust. see all the saints stories. We're all called to be saints, even very little ones. as far as the actual gosling is concerned, I think I'd rather die quick like that than be grabbed by a preditor. I know that's sad but it's all part of the balance in nature. One holy man told me that it's part of 'original sin' in nature and in Heaven, where Christ has conquered all sin through His outpouring on the cross, the lion will lie down with the lamb. sorry to preach but it means so much tome that you understand

[@samsi469]

Whaouu !!! Warrior le poussin, j'ai bien cru qu'il était mort en s'éclatant sur le rocher 0_ô'... Crash test OieNCAP 5 étoiles !!!

[@mrbreaker101]

That's one way to teach kids some damn respect

[@USABradUSA]

im pretty high right now, i have had to watch a few times. I can just not fathom how they can survive that fall.

[@theovp546]

Juan Carlos Fernández Conde im fuckin high rite now too. dunno how any1 can survive that

[@peniparker7968]

During the video: 0.0 After the video: Fyewf!

[@KasaCheem]

damn lil bro build different

[@beetlesfarm7812]

Я думал там уже фарш в перьях,когда его как тряпичную куклу било об камни,а он еще в живых остался!))Это нечто!)

[@marrosa.9657]

Q grande es la Naturaleza :) :)

[@rickedyrektd1895]

seems asthought a barnacle can survive things in its youth others couldnt dream of

[@themarsoff]

что то не верится мне, что они так прыгают, да и в чем смысл, и как можно при таком ударе выжить, хоть имея малый вес, все равно все сломалось бы и порвалось у него внутри.

[@Prof_awesome]

"jeah well mum, that fucking sucked!"

[@KingDoomfist]

The slow kids become gosling pulp which the parents probably fight over and eat.

[@Filibb1]

Now...the gosling which hits after the long drop at 0:48 looks kinda dead to me (gets a lot of rotation). And in the next shot right after is just another one which luckily survives the jump. still amazing though.

[@derklein45]

Cette longue et agonisante chute me fesait penser à ma vie ! LOL^^

[@Dumas16]

The bird at the end has to be a different one...how?? what?? seriously?? Someone studies the bone structure of those birds now if that is true!!! make planes with those bones!! or bulletproof jackets or whatever that needs to be strong!!!

[@acevfx2923]

Dumas G it's actually quite the opposite. The bones are weak. They can still bend and move easily absorbing much of the damage without breaking. It's the same with human babies, when the bones are still in development they fracture less easily than say in your 15th year or older. It also helps that the bird is so small.

[@LiquidGary]

It's alive!

[@reaktorable]

Невероятно !!!! Живой !!! Наверно маленькая масса тела , поэтому не нанёс повреждения.

[@Kenorland]

Оператор, который падал с птенцом, тоже выжил?

[@Kenorland]

Вот так всегда, прыгают двое, а вся слава одному.

[@pjwiliams1]

Reminds me of Homer Simpson sliding out of the gurney & falling down the side of the canyon.

[@ValladaoMateus]

It's impossible that little nugget is still alive!!

[@DenVoloskov]

How is it possible to stay alive after that?!

[@iza354]

Den Voloskov barnacle gooses/chicks have the toughest bone structure in the bird kingdom (I'm saying this but I'm not sure :p) but some grow with less intact bones or slightly loose ends.

[@serdcemsvami]

This is Spartaaaa!!!

[@moohgah2030]

[@фвцфвфывфывфыв]

This is sparta!!!!!!!

[@felixx86]

AMAZING!

[@rosenstefanov7860]

What is the survival rate? The baby goose that you show at the end with no fructure at all, wasn't the same that twice smashed in the rocks ?!....

[@SkittleBuk1]

Rosen Stefanov Yes it was

[@SadyhVonSchattig]

Rosen Stefanov any other bird would probably be schnitzel by the time they make it down

[@bkjeong4302]

Rosen Stefanov About half die during or right after the drop.

[@RUS38]

Not a broken bone, not even a scratch. Are they even real?!

[@dashcamcordoba]

OMG no wasted.

[@hackleberrym]

How the hell did that thing survived this?!

[@cga118]

白頰黑雁通常在高山的懸崖建巢，以遠離捕食者（主要是北極狐和北極熊），但同時也遠離食品。像所有的鵝一樣，成鵝不喂雛鵝。它們並不把食品帶給新孵出的雛鵝，而是將雛鵝帶到地面。雛鵝不會飛翔，三日齡雛鵝跳下懸崖並落下，由於其體積小，重量很輕，當他們碰到下面的岩石的時候可以保護其中一些免得受到嚴重損傷，但是許多受傷嚴重。北極狐受成鵝的噪音所吸引，在這段時間內，捕獲許多死亡或受傷的雛鵝。北極狐會跟蹤由父母帶領到濕地覓食的雛鵝。

[@cjknotty]

Incredible!!!

[@guapitatessa]

Amazing!

[@KoffingOnion]

The music really reminds me of doctor who

[@yi-shenglin5162]

L learned much in my life.

[@bremirodrigal4922]

1:59 "WTF is wrong with you, kid?"

[@regatachampion1325]

I heard it took them 3 months to film this. That must take some patience.

[@ElleHartStrings]

Thats amazing

[@aivliSamiL]

Será que as pessoas que estão negativando o vídeo olharam até o fim? Este cara aí me representa.

[@anahhiii]

1:59 what you looking at mate?

[@sajidmehmood2515]

ماشاءاللہ ماشاءاللہ

[@arunsahgal7510]

Amazing !!!!

[@brynclarke1746]

I'm no bird expert, but wouldn't it be a good idea for the chick to wait until it has actual wings?

[@Peipeilulumomo]

In the program it says: The geese eat only grass and as parents don't feed their young, the only way for the goslings to survive is to make the daredevil descent.www.bbc.co.uk/earth/story/20141020-chicks-tumble-of-terror-filmed

[@cesardavidlopezpolicio4559]

the chick is lucky

[@guardianobserver6593]

Dam! He survived from this fall?

[@leonoraamazingpants2024]

this is SO SO SO SO freaky

[@Soushibo]

Base jumping level hard a nie jakies chuje muje redbulle;d

[@Elohandre]

Tough little one ! ... another one in the piling evidence that sophisticated life like this cannot come by chance, but is rather brilliant genetic engineering!

[@SadyhVonSchattig]

Andre Julien it is not evidence for it. what you're doing is called biased interpretation of evidence.

[@Elohandre]

Silver Nuke Biased interpretation? Or maybe it is Evolutionists who do? When one makes a simple probability calculation of evolution, one can realize it cannot happen by random mutation and natural selection. For example in 5 billions years, there are 1.6 x 10^17 seconds. While in the human DNA, there are 3.3 billion nucleotides, so 1.1 billion codons (sets of 3 nucleotides which code the 22 aminoacids) , as all nucleotides have the same likeliness to attach to one another, there are 4^1,100,000,000 ways to combine them, so 10^1,500,000,000 . This is a huge number !!! about 4000 km's of zeroes just to write it ! Even those who believe in Big Bang estimate the total number of atoms in the Universe around 10^81 so it shows even Big Bang is Incompatible with Evolution theory. So there is no way to create a human like DNA in 10^17 seconds by random assembly of nucleotides. Simply Impossible from an appreciation of the orders of magnitudes invloved! And the same applies to all the millions of species on Earth, some whith larger DNA than humans. I think the only rational solution is Atheist Intelligent Design !

[@SadyhVonSchattig]

Andre Julien Both parts use biased interpretation, don't try to throw the blame. You see evidence and you jump the horse to confirm what you want to hear. Both parts to this, again. Don't give me your walls of text, you don't phase me with numbers. Atheist intelligent design? That's a new one i hear. Please continue.

[@SadyhVonSchattig]

Andre Julien Ok I will agree with you that the darwinian evolution is a primitive and limited concept of a guy who lived in a taboo and suppressing society 200-300 years ago. Evolution is much more complex than "random" chances (nothing is truly random in evolution, and it's not accidents who lead to development, l these are just primitive ways to describe the phenomenons). I'm more of a Nietzchian evolutionist.

[@Ishkur23]

Andre Julien over half of them don't make it. That's some terrible genetic engineering there.

[@holidayfruit]

The bird survive probably has Abused its admin's power

[@zaadifyable]

Geeze, the sound effects in the documentary... Each time the gosling squeaked, I broke up a little inside.Glad natural selection didn't worked this time.

[@bkjeong4302]

zaadifyable It did. There were five that jumped and three you see at the end. And one of those three suffered a fracture.

[@DetErMinRoulade]

WTF! how does that little thing survive that? doesnt it like break any bones at all? hah, guess its a tought little one:)

[@mirawayne]

wow!!! beutiful

[@imrustygamerz]

Amazing footage, perhaps mum and dad choose a better place to nest next time, lol! :D
