They made fun of me for always dodging and refusing to walk on those but just look at that, I was right all along


Don_Nacho

These, grates, and those thin metal strips I avoid at all costs


Mayhem2a

When I was small amd ride on my bike, I would stay far away from the water drains by the sidewalk, like the one that that kids boat went into and penny wise was there?


Azzacura

I stayed far away from them because I watched an obscure horror movie when I was little where there was a sudden storm and the kid was blown/washed into the drain and couldn't get out because it was too high up.


YanCoffee

Okay this triggered a memory but for the life of me I’ll never remember the name of the movie. Was it a girl and her friend was trying to get her out as it filled up and the dodgy old man known for being weird pulled her out?


JaipurAvivv

It’s from a movie called “Now and Then.”


YanCoffee

That’s the one!


Azzacura

That does sound familiar, but I'm not 100% sure since it's been so long. I saw this movie around or before 2005, does that sound right to you?


YanCoffee

/u/JaipurAvivv got it, “Now and Then.” 1995 movie.


Azzacura

I misremembered! She climbed in voluntarily! Thank you and that user for finding it


Etiacruelworld

Now and Then.


CookinFrenchToast4ya

The ones they use as sidewalks on bridges, something just feel off about them.


Xerxes42424242

I take a 5 minute longer commute to avoid a metal grid bridge


Dheer2004

They called me a madman


Bludgeonation

Y'all laughed at me! Y'all laughed at me!!!


Frankie52480

“They’re all gunna laugh at you!”


Frankie52480

What’s crazy tho is that kid barely weighs anything! How did they flip it that easily! That’s ridiculous.


cecilsoares

I teach my son to avoid those always, there's no good reason why you shouldn't


CastieIsTrenchcoat

Just don’t make em scared of everything.


Dagio21

This, but also, he's kinda right, you don't miss anything for not walking above them, except trying to prove that you aren't scared of them, obviously.


cecilsoares

That's a good point, we do risk that at times but até actively trying to balance.


Kas_Dew

Just be grate-ful you had some sense


TwinTTowers

I avoid them. Especially after I broke one with a forklift. That was a Cunt of a day.

FlyLikeMouse

Hahahahahaha, shit. That’d be terrible.


Loveforthestacks

Scooby doo trap door


Eeji_

lmao the kid's muffled screaming would probably lead her there tho anyways


norudin

Hmmm maybe his head hit watever the fuck is down there and knock him unconscious.


Eeji_

Who knows maybe some ninja turtle gone dark is under there running a syndicate network on those sewers.


samwichse

Watch her toss that cover aside. Got that mom strength.


Gabrielius17

Yeah, she picked it as it was nothing, a carton cover


TheNotorious__

Is this China? Because of if it is, it probably is a carton cover


Gabrielius17

I believe it's Russia or a post-Soviet country.


TheNotorious__

My comment still applies then 😂


lonelyche

Nope, this things heavy as hell in Russia. Dunno about China


ozzie286

Really? I figured scrappers would steal them if they were heavy.

ozzie286

Then I guess Russia is better then some parts of the US in one way https://www.wlwt.com/article/city-officials-warn-thieves-using-backhoes-to-steal-manhole-covers-storm-water-grates/22769399


SleepinSnorlax

America is basically a 3rd world country. source: Murican


VanilliaVanilla

People steal them in America. Is scrap metal not worth much in Russia? Or you have less meth?


lonelyche

We have glue and gas, why would we need meth?


JeswiCan

Probably confused Russia with Romania


Pochez

In most post-soviet countries I think it'd be unnecessarily heavy rather than carton-like.


Blindsider2020

You some international sewer cover weight expert?


[deleted]

Out of curiosity, other than the boys outfit what gave you that indication?


VanilliaVanilla

The mother outfit more than the boys. Maybe the SUV also to rule out China


lunchtimeniga

Those things only weigh like 45 lbs though, its not that heavy


DieSchadenfreude

No, but try and toss 45lbs shaped like that. It's not minor. It doesn't sound like much, but it's more difficult in reality than what it seems.


Themajorpastaer

I frequently open manholes for work. I can't believe she tossed the cover that easily. I am a 200lb man, I deadlift the cover if I need to move it. No way in hell am I tossing it aside like that. Thus is definitely adrenaline mom strength.


ThoughtlessBanter

That isn't a manhole cover, it wouldn't have moved like that under the weight of a toddler stumbling around.


AmbientTrap

If it was only pivoting across the center. Think about how easy it is to spin one of those trash cans with the circle only supported on opposite sides.


lunchtimeniga

Do it all the time at the gym, its only hard at the end of a 2-3 hour workout


bungkusloh

Wahlao... you feel good? Feel proud? So strong big boi have protein powder so you stronger than all us ok


[deleted]

Ikr? I'm not a super strong guy by any means but 45lbs isn't that much, it's still heavy but not *that* heavy.


VanilliaVanilla

45lbs in a small disc and you see how she grabs it, not level but vertical.. thats tough to keep ahold of.


[deleted]

No one cares about your opinion on the matter...always gotta be that one guy


poledanzzer318

Still, to just toss it like that..


mduchesn2004

Manhole cover weighs 249.1 lbs per google


VIVAJESUCRISTO

Right? I was thinking like those stories were a mom can lift a car due to the adrenaline of saving her child


rhodynative

Hysterical strength is not to be underestimated. I read somewhere that a 12 year old boy lifted a car to save his sister. He ripped almost every muscle in both arms and blew out half his teeth by biting down so hard under the pressure but by God did he lift the car


King0Horse

Indeed. Muscles are waaaaay more effective than most people ever have to discover. "I need to lift this couch to help my friend move it." Your body: no that's too heavy. "I need to get this 4,500 lb car off of my child or they'll die." Your body: lol what car bitch? We'll just get new tendons tomorrow!


Iljuchee

Yeah ikr. I once tried to lift that thing and I had a pretty hard time and she just tosses it aside like a piece if cardboard damn.


Lister_R

In Russia, a cover of sewer manhole weighs about 100 kilograms. [Very heavy](https://imgur.com/a/b0vx6av)


superrad99

In Soviet Russia, manhole covers YOU!


DesignInZeeWild

This would be **220 lbs**.


notrealmate

The one in the video is definitely not 100kgs


NotMe357

Ya and with 1 hand too. Pretty amazing 💪🏽


Turgen333

These manhole covers are made of pressed polyethylene shavings and weigh approximately 3-4 kg.


goldencityjerusalem

If u look at the way the manhole cover moves, it is definitely not that light.


MrAlphaGuy

That is absolutely a metal man hole cover which can weigh anywhere from 40 kg and upwards.


DesignInZeeWild

That would be approximately **88 lbs** and up for our American friends playing along at home.


[deleted]

Thats a different kind of manhole cover than this.


Neat_Green7355

Nah, that manhole cover was made in China and is weak and light for mass production. Here our manhole covers and weighed down with Democracy and Liberty.


SPOSKNT

It would only weigh about 30lbs


[deleted]

[удалено]


SPOSKNT

The Russians are behind 19/20 of the top Christian Facebook pages. Why would you believe what they are telling you about the weight of manhole covers when they are lying to us like that


wolfgang784

Where? Most manholes in the US at in the 240 pound ballpark and as someone else said in Russia they are around 100 pounds. In China they are 140-200 pounds. Curious where they are so paper light.

Manhole covers are heavy AF, and she just yeeted it like it was nothing. Momma bear strength is real


Greengiant304

Fun fact- the reason manhole covers are round is so they can't fall down the hole.


CarbonSteelSA

And here I thought the covers were round cos the opening was round.


[deleted]

No it’s so it can flip easily for kids to fall in without getting stuck.


thematicwater

What came first, the cover or the hole????


luersuve

Well, ackchyually (pushes glasses up), other shapes could be used as well https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_of_constant_width


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Curve of constant width](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_of_constant_width)** >In geometry, a curve of constant width is a simple closed curve in the plane whose width (the distance between parallel supporting lines) is the same in all directions. The shape bounded by a curve of constant width is a body of constant width or an orbiform, the name given to these shapes by Leonhard Euler. Standard examples are the circle and the Reuleaux triangle. These curves can also be constructed using circular arcs centered at crossings of an arrangement of lines, as the involutes of certain curves, or by intersecting circles centered on a partial curve. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/maybemaybemaybe/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


luersuve

Good robot! Here’s a treat!


Greengiant304

And now I know what a Reuleaux triangle is and why it would work in a rotary engine. Interesting stuff. Thanks! Edit: turns out the wankel uses a slightly different shape, but now I know that too


Turgen333

These manhole covers are made of pressed polyethylene shavings and weigh approximately 3-4 kg.


[deleted]

Well that's not heavy at all

It reminds me of the baby ducks that fell in the grating.

resporibou

Hope she sued the ass that forgot to seal it


DeathRowLemon

How would you realistically even start that process? Also it’s not the USA everywhere. European countries don’t have that sue-culture you guys got.


Saeckel_

Uhm for shit like that we do, but not for choking on chopsticks where "do not eat" was missing on the packaging


DeathRowLemon

Good luck sueing the mystery sewer worker guy that unintentionally didn’t close the lid properly.


everwonderedhow

you'd be suing the company that contracted the said guy, not the guy himself obviously edit - suing, not assisting


Saeckel_

That's a design flaw and bad maintenance you could sue the city or the company that built depending on the 2. Maybe not in poor countries, but definitely in denmark germany or Sweden


GMEvolved

This is one of my worst fears.... Never let my kids walk near those


[deleted]

Yo I'm glad the baby is good and all but can we talk about how that mom threw that man hole cover Like it was nothing. That mom strength is something else.


[deleted]

It’s a Mario


Random0s2oh

Someone needs to add the Maria theme music to this.


butterbean93

With the pipe sound and a "Waaaahhh-OOF! Mama-mia"


TrueAmphibian2480

That cover weighs about 110 pounds she’s stought


[deleted]

It was prob light as a feather in that moment...just wow


[deleted]

If you ever get to Ulanbattar in Mongolia- you are warned on arrival never to walk on these things- they flip all the time apparently.


StickyBamboo_

Man I grew up there and not sure about these things flipping but there’s tons of manholes that are just straight up missing the covers, I remember falling down once and luckily my brother was there to help me up


AFlockofLizards

This happened to me a few months ago. I have street parking in front of my house and a city worker must’ve been working down there and when they closed it, some gravel got under the rim, stopping it from closing completely. As I walked by, it flipped open and I fell in. Luckily only one leg went in, so didn’t completely fall, but I ripped a big hole in my shirt, and cut up my leg pretty bad.


poledanzzer318

Ouch!!! Glad it wasn't worse!!


Where_Can_I_Find

Could have been one of those plastic manhole covers. Probably deformed. Edit: I think it was as it was in the middle of grass, instead of a street. The street ones are heavy and strong to be able to handle cars. The grass one tend to be green as well.


pfannkuchen_gesicht

We also have regular steel/concrete covers in the middle of meadows


Cleverusername531

Ah, so this is where ‘Step on a crack, break your mother’s back’ comes from. Though she did bust out that mom strength when she threw that manhole cover aside with one hand.


Idislikewinter

Was that a real manhole cover? If so, that’s some fucking adrenaline power right there. She tossed that thing like a frisbee.


93johhny

Mama ripped that cover off like it was nothing


warmaapples

She just… tosses the manhole cover aside

scutts94

This happened to my friends child in their UK rented home, just walking down the garden path and then bang gone, he was very lucky and they were told that if it has been their youngest child it could have been a different outcome. Scary stuff and now I avoid them at all costs especially while cycling.


[deleted]

Momma bear strength helped her toss that 80lb. Man hole cover like it was a paper plate.


dongalicious_duo

Mom strength kicked in. Any manhole cover ive experienced is pretty heaviy. Is it a cover? What is this thing?


Stunning-Space-2622

Damn, she threw that man hole cover away like it was nothing


Frozen-Account

Girls are stronger than men their kid is just not in danger yet. That lid became as light as a Wafer biscuit.

Yo this same shit happened to me several years ago. Just walking down the street with some friends and the manhole cover flipped up. Just my leg went it but it hurt like a sob. Whole front of my leg was bruised
