How much of a chad you gatta be to have a heart attack and go "ugh, again. Sorry guys but gotta go." and you drive yourself to the hospital.

[@arta5183]

A tough as heck Chad. Heart attacks hurt so bad. I can't believe he drove through that.

[@marshawargo7238]

Less of a Chad, more of a "Nah, I don't need no help, I got this" kinda guy😮!!!

[@dragoness0420]

Those old veterans were cut from a different cloth, man. Same goes for farmers, and most tradesmen, tbh. They tough as nails. Meanwhile, I get a hangnail and my day is over lol

My dad had a minor heart attack and drove himself 30+ minutes to the hospital. He couldn’t even bend over to tie his boots, but he drove himself. -_- He survived that heart attack, but not the second one.

Classic example of the Bystander Effect, people see what is an emergency and think that someone else can deal with it and doesn’t report anything.

[@jessicamurawski]

I just want to say that someone being loaded into an ambulance doesn’t necessarily mean they’re alive. Ambulances can also be used to transport dead bodies. EMTs either don’t or not all of them have the authority to pronounce someone dead so they still have to go to the hospital so a doctor can do it.

[@marshawargo7238]

AND when you come to an obviously dead body, Always check their pulse😮! Even in Fake TV Shows, they check the pulse😅! I wonder if the cop shot the zombie & didn't mention it😮? He Did Say, the corner said that "He should have been dead with the initial shot" Meaning that there was a secondary shot😮!!! ??????

14:46 was that u/rogersimon10???😂 Don't worry too much about the guy getting beat with jumper cables. The whole story is fake. Rogersimon10 had a running gag on reddit where every comment he made ended with his dad beating him with jumper cables. He hasn't been active in a long time, though, so either the thread you used for this video is ancient, or somebody else is copying him.

[@SkyFyre2435]

52:16 We got a u/shittymorph, too!!!! Shittymorph also had a running gag on reddit where every comment ended with "in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table." He has recently stopped doing it, but is still active on reddit.

[@reasonpeason847]

Yo I love that guy, no matter what the comment was responding to, ended in jumper cables like isn’t there one that’s a cake recipe or something? Fuckin hilarious, always gets me. XD

[@Nat-eb1ix]

I came to the comments to make sure someone mentioned Jumper Cables Guy

[@awikim]

Every day I miss the jumper cables guy

[@BeeWhistler]

Gotta say, as sad as it was that the dude “suspected of having been beaten by a woman” had in fact been a sick pedo, I also find it troubling that the cops automatically assumed, before they knew the full story, that if he’d been beaten by a woman, he must have deserved it. I mean, I’m very glad they looked into it and arrested him but suppose he’d been a victim of abuse instead? If he’d been beaten by his partner, male or female, and was too embarrassed to say so, the cop would just be there assuming he’d done something wrong. Investigations need to be unbiased.

[@dragoness0420]

100%! Accusations of any kind of abuse, no matter their gender, should be taken seriously, from the start. Personal opinions and bias have no place in the legal system.

[@gamerraider889]

​@@dragoness0420Yeah, his entire thought process was profiling. "He had a guilty air" is terrifying. Regardless of the fact the guy had been a pedo, it was an improper way to getting to that conclusion.

[@kommo1]

"This is uncomfortable. Someone else probably already called" says everybody ever.

[@dragoness0420]

Human nature is a weird one, for sure. I think they call it the "bystander effect" or something similar? When I was taking CPR classes, they told us to point to someone specifically and tell them to call 911, when surrounded by onlookers, for this exact reason. Everyone assumes someone else already called. One the few times I've come across an emergency situation, I always call, regardless if someone else is on the phone. The dispatchers are generally happy that I've called and inform me that they already have a call about the situation; takes less than a minute.

[@meegansandberg1308]

All these people, standing around doing nothing reminds of an incident that happened in 2017. I live in a low income high-rise. There used to be an old man living in the building. I'll call him A. A was mentally ill and diabetic. He was grumpy, had no personal hygiene, and tried to bum stuff off people in the building multiple times a day. He refused to take personal responsibility for himself. Needless to say, no one in the building liked him. I noticed that his legs had swollen up and turned beet red, probably from the uncontrolled diabetes. Then he started having troubles walking. There's a bus stop right in front of our building and I took the bus back and forth to work. I was sitting on the front patio, waiting for the bus when A hobbled out the front door. He almost made it to a bench, but wound up taking a fall. I asked him if he was okay and he said he thought he broke his arm. I could see he was in a lot of pain. I called emergency services and waited with him until the ambulance came. News traveled fast in a high-rise, so when I got home from work, everybody knew what had happened. I always liked my neighbor, G and his wife, S because they're non-judgmental and empathetic people. G told me "You know, most people in the building would have just left him there on the pavement because he's so annoying. " Unfortunately, G is right.

[@dillonvandergriff4124]

Good job new narrator! This one was much better. However, Underspark team, please drop the vertical format. We all hate it.

[@jordanr.2120]

36:29 The little mumbled "Dear god..." Couldn't have put it better myself lmao

[@SilverStarHeggisist]

So these are a very common occurrence, basically the more people who could call for help, the less likely anyone will because everyone else assumes someone else must have already done so, but because everyone assumes this, no one actually does anything.

[@RaquellePhillips]

"Common sense isn't really all that common" is one of my favourite sentences. I use it less frequently now I don't work in pubs anymore

[@kyototomokui6676]

[@ValleyOakPaper]

Props for the big improvement in the voice acting! Actually feels authentic most of the time.

[@SuperSirWilliam]

People would rather watch someone die than call EMS or do anything because they "don't want to get involved" and maybe get blamed for something that they did/didn't do

[@Ziyanani]

never assume someone's already called 911, iun an emergency call yourself or tell someone particular to call. call them out by shirt color or something ' hey you, pink shirt blue hat, call 911' people freeze and panic and theres the bystander effect

[@Eddiember]

Volunteer First Aider here. Its actually quite common for bystanders to not call for 911, not out of people not caring, but more commonly because they believe someone else has already called. If its a genuine emergency, call 911, you will not get in trouble if multiple other people have called in the same issue (at least in Canada).

[@dynamix9625]

PLEASE. Change the format!

[@wladyslawaaron1443]

Why? This is great, best shit to fell asleep for months

[@JayboCorp.2014]

I think they mean the video orientation.....

[@rebasack21]

So many of these stories really help explain why in the first aid and cpr class i took that the first thing that you need to do is take control and give orders to bystanders. never assume 911 has been called, instead pick a person and order them to call. So many freeze in these cases and having orders given seems to help a lot.

[@Bravelonelypeople721]

Bystander effect. It's a psychological phenomenona

[@Xurnalea]

I like the timber of this narrators voice; both are soothing, but theres something about the intonation when he adds his own commentary actually feels genuine; more genuine than other reading style channels. Gotta thank them both (and whoever's involved) for content like this that's still being put together with human hands.

[@belle_beezy]

Genuine question- When people drive by something horrific and assume someone else called the cops why not call in also just in case? Nothing can be done to you and you can ask to be anonymous if that’s something you’re worried about.

[@col.mustard1233]

"Beating me senseless with a pair of jumper cables", "that's kind of shocking", pun intended?

[@matthewhearn9910]

Jumper Cable Guy is an old Reddit legendary account. The story is fake. Guy was known for telling long, detailed, and very compelling stories in r/AskReddit only to always end them with his dad beating him senseless with a pair of jumper cables. A lot of people started checking the username more often before believing a post because of him.

[@kimielle]

My cousin who is a cop recounted a story of when he was visiting some friends for a hangi pit party (traditional maori food thing). They were having a few beers in the front yard when they hear this crazy screeching and then see a car bounce off a sturdy fence, hit a curb and cartwheel onto the lawn and stop less than 3 feet from one of the guys hosting. Woman staggers out of the car, in shock, bleeding all over. Clearly has a few broken bones. Car bursts into flame that soon goes out by itself. He and one of the other guys gets her into his car and he drives her, lights going on his unmarked car, full tilt to the nearest hospital. Once he's there he calls emergency services to try to cancel any ambulance phone calls they might have got. Turns out nobody called anything in. About 20 mins later his friend comes in with a kid who has an obvious broken leg who must have been thrown from the car as it spun out of control. Wild. Like 30 or so people were there and not one called an ambulance. Heck - nobody called a fire engine in case the car sparked up again.

[@tesuniekataren46]

Not calling for help from a large group of people is a "I'm sure someone else already has, so I don't need to" mentality. There is an official name for it, but basically it runs along the lines of, The more people around, the less help is likely to be given. Kind of a "passing the buck" statement. Hence for story 20, the story teller themselves where like "I'm sure you've already gotten a ton of calls about this..." because they assumed the same thing others had, except they still called "just in case".

[@ominamorris3328]

A lot of this is because of the bystander effect. Someone else will think someone else will do it so they do nothing.

[@TheDCAUgothic]

.....mad MAD respect for the Vietnam vet. Total badass. 😳

[@guardianangel7589]

I've noticed that it's not that people don't care. It's a weird mental condition involving herd mentality and shit. More or less, someone is waiting for someone else to do something first or their expecting other people to do it because their not sure if they'd be doing the right thing. It's that fear that they don't have any training and the fact that most people don't expect shit to happen until it does. It's weird. In the end though, it's better to call if you see strange behavior from someone. I had a car wreck out in the winter after it took a turn too quickly while going 45 with snow on the ground. No one stopped after she plowed through a log fence. The log punched through the driver side window and had been sharpened into a spear that was inches from taking her head off. I pulled over, threw on every light I had and contacted law enforcement. I'm not a cop, I work private security and do security patrols across various sites across several cities. No one stopped, no one called, I was the only one who pulled off and went to check on her. She was fine, a little upset her car got messed up, but I got her to laugh in the end. That was a rough year for a lot of reasons. For the love of God, if you even suspect something is wrong with someone, don't be afraid to call emergency services. Calling can get help rolling and save lives.

[@siqxyre8473]

15:41 HOLY SHIT ITS THE JUMPER CABLES GUY Basically he’s a redditor who answers a bunch of questions normally but no matter what, finds some way to end his story with his dad beating him with a pair of jumper cables. He’s gotta have written at least 100 comments that are some variation of that.

[@zacw4243]

Not a cop but on a ride along while I was in college for law enforcement (health changes in my family took priority so I never started the police academy) we got dispatched to a bar fight in progress which on the way to that we witnessed a limo driving near and away from the bar, the kicker was the people who were in the limo were punching each other standing up through the sunroof so we stopped the limo and broke up the fight. Turns out it was the same people who were at the bar fighting but no one called in that they left in the limo or any of the other drivers that they passed in 15 minutes

[@37thraven]

It's the bystander effect We all assume we/friends/family would take action in a crisis. But in reality, when it comes, everyone freezes, and waits on others to act. Well documented psychology

[@fallenspherell8178]

Story 12: Herd mentality. That’s why in first aid class we ALWAYS teach people to point at someone, ask what their name is and then tell them specifically to call the emergency services If you yell at a crowd they’ll almost always assume someone else’s gonna making the call.

[@xWatexx]

You may be thinking: “Wtf? Why did everyone just stand around a lifeless body and not call 911?” Well, that’s because of a phenomenon known as the bystander effect. Basically, the more people there are nearby, the less likely it is for an individual to take action.

[@giovanilevin616]

Nowaday, i wouldn't say they don't care, it's more voyeurisme like when an aggression happen and instead of calling for help or anything they get their phone out to film. People disgust me 🤢

There were a lot of people standing there and they were deliberately blocking me because they thought I was upsetting him which I did report to 911 , but he goes ahead and dispatches an ambulance and the last thing the dispatcher tells me is that no one not even life alert had contacted them.

You say you hope the cop in the murder/arson case got counseling. I hope so too. But consider the dispatcher who had to listen to all that. They probably didn't get counseling. Most jurisdictions don't consider 911/dispatch -- the TRUE first responders -- to be part of the police force. They're "clerical staff," as if their jobs are no more stressful than filing paperwork
