This is why you should explore the world at a young age, so you know that wet green stuff typically is slippery

Especially in converse. Might as well be walking on greased glass.

People who don’t live around water

Happened to me when i was younger. Slipped and fell into an old moss covered net. It cut into my leg and i had to get stitches. Also how I found out im allergic to moss and algae!

My ass felt this footage for some reason.

You haven’t lived long enough if you don’t know not to step on this seaweed.

algae is actually the slipperiest shit on the planet. it's genuinely impressive. walking on it at all will never go well

This stuff is the slippiest shit on the planet. I owe a broken wrist to this lubricated nature quilt.

I mean.. what actually was they tryna accomplish here..?? It seems the outcome was the only possible outcome. Mf wasn't gonna walk on water or nothing.. 🤦‍♂️

Some sort of new ocean moss huh?

Mossy staircase…ok

I feel like it’s normal to underestimate how ridiculously slippery a wet, mossy staircase is.

As if this person has never experienced moss before

the swamp monster got him

The video survived. Doesn’t that mean the phone did too?

I don't understand how some people make it to adulthood.

This shit is slippery as fuck.

I went on a canoeing adventure with my friend in a gorge in the middle of nowhere and slipped on a mossy rock and face planted shallow water narrowly missing a rock. Could have ended much worse

isn't that called algae?

[Fun fact: you cannot write a just short word, the moderator bot requires you to write a full sentence]

Where were they walking to exactly?

This and banana peels are among the most slipperiest things in the universe

The stress level in my body increases moment I see him take that step

How dumb can you be lol

I feel like it's common knowledge not to walk on wet rocks/stone and algae??

Hate the way they confidently put their foot down when they damn well shouldn't.

You make this mistake once in your life. For me it was in a river camping (while in river shoes!) and getting the wind knocked out of me

Rocking the all-stars is like ice skates on a frozen lake

Today they learned algae is slick

Never step on wet green stuff on a rock, whether it's moss or algae.

It’s algae

I feel this video in my back

No matter how carefully you step on wet moss on rock, you’re going to fucking fall. Dummy.

Broke my wrist as child because of that. The ocean is a coldhearted mistress

Idk what's slipperier- mossy stone w water or ice but I know they have to be close contenders.

In Chucks too. Those things slip on dry grass

Broke my tailbone doing this while holding two beers… the beers survived at least

At first I was expecting the stairs to collapse from being rotten.

Also this person's foot: r/mypeopleneedme

Waiting for the mash-up with this beginning followed by, "Hey you. You're finally awake."

God i felt that

Algae covered stairs might as well be KY coated glass. You're not remaining upright.

Traction OFF

every backrooms story beginning

But why walk there in the first place?!

I wonder if they never walked on moss before

I may be wrong, but I think that video was taken at San Feliciano, Italy. I live there and those stairs and the colour of the water is the same. Only thing is, if that's actually San Feliciano this video must be at least 3 years old, since the algae have gone down

This is how I almost fell into the Grand Canal in Venice thirty years ago. I didn't see the algae, and having never encountered it before I didn't think to look. I merely stepped out two steps to get a photo down the buildings and my foot shot out from the second step. As I was going in, one of my friends thought to grab my camera strap which I usually put under one arm and around my neck, and held me. I put my now wet foot back on the good stair and stepped back on solid ground and never did that again.

The concussions will continue until traction improves.

Converse, the most slippery shoes ever.

Why is everyone saying moss when this is clearly algae I feel like Im taking crazy pills

I broke my toe doing this in Venice. People (I guess stupid people like me) don't realize how slippery that shit is.

What other outcome was he or she expecting?

Went just as expected.. lol

What did they expect, kept the phone in hand though 🍻

Someone has never explored tide pools before

Nothing went wrong it's exactly what I would expect to happen.

If things went right, what was the destination? The water?

As soon as they took that first, heavy step I knew what I was in for.

Looney tunes?

What was the end goal here?

Even if he managed to walk down without slipping, he's still walking into that disgusting water.

I can almost feel the bruises from that.

I can feel the slipperiness of the step followed by pain of falling on concrete and then the soaked shoe/pant leg in this video.

I've done this before. Difference is I was 6.

I can feel the concussion through the screen

My dream five mins into sleep...any shrink here.

I'm almost positive I've seen this video from a different perspective

WCGW walking the mossy staircase in white pants.

Notice how the bottom step doesn't have shoeprints? That's why!

This is so obviously the only outcome it must have been on purpose

I swear it's like some people have never been outside.

I wouldn't even go near that, every time I'm near a murky waters edge I always imagine some eldritch horror pulling me under. Everyone tells me this is irrational, that's exactly what Cthulhu wants.

Holding a phone over water in general gives me anxiety.

my back hurts just watching this

In Cons too, those things have zero tread

Good luck getting out of that water

Anything that goes in the water becomes property of SpongeBob SquarePants.

Anyone going to transition this into the Skyrim opening scene?

"yay green snow! let me just walk over it real quick."

And converse! That’s just doubly stupid as those things have zero traction on wet.

Moss is slippery man. It’s funny how many people don’t realize “Step on green, broken spleen.”

Spikes or felt bottoms - everything else is useless when it comes to serious slipperiness on ocean rocks. This scenario required spikes.

Edit: try split toe japanese spiked or felt tabis. They’re super agile, soft soled, thin so they prevent stumble fall. Also prevents slip-fall because your foot conforms to the rock and therefore maximizes contact.

NRS makes a similar split toe product.

And Converse shoes

What I see when I'm about to fall asleep

Where exactly were they going?!

My tail bone hurt before it even started playing.

Ah yes, water moss

Hmmm, algae not moss. For what it’s worth.

Seeing the green thingy I know what will could go wrong

What are you trying to prove by stepping on algae? Don’t mess with algae especially stepping on it you could end up in a body bag in some cases.

That ending sploosh sound is very satisfying.

Shot on iPhone

So that's why they call it Moss Landing 🤔

Doesn’t look like it went under

I knew exactly what was going to happen, and it still made me gasp

People make fun of me but four wheel drive is a much more efficient method of movement on stairs :/

Some people dont know but this green build up is extra slippery. Never attempt to climb or stand on anything that's this color that's near water. You'll slip for sure

That stuff is slick as eel shit

Chuck Taylor's are slippery on just wet cement haha hilarious they tried to walk on moss

That's the kind of mistake you make once in your lifetime. One day you step on moss and see how ridiculously slippery it gets when wet, and I guarantee it will be the last time

Even before it started playing, I felt my coccyx crack.

My tail bone hurts

Natural selection

With chucks on to top it off.... the worst slip resistant shoes ever made behind smooth leather sole boots.

Is this Venice?

Seaweedy stairs

The green stuff is slippery even without the phone.

I bet that was painful.

Aaahh, the confidence of youth…

Step 1 Step 2 Step 4

Splish splash I was takin a bath 🎶

Ah yes, moss, the famous ocean plant.

The move is to take off your shoes and turn your socks inside out. They're more textured on the inside and you won't slip so much. Barefoot is worse than with shoes

With converse, famous for its lack of treads 😂

protect your coccyx!

She fucked up by wearing Converse lol.

I love my Chucks but they are slick as shit sometimes

Having recently slipped on stairs wearing socks and still feeling it, my butt twitched watching this.

Predictable results

Someone should edit this together with the POV of the man fighting off the great white shark in the harbour

That’s not moss.

Some people are oblivious to any surface that isn't carpet or tile.

You can precisely time the moment of slippage

There's a road junction near my house where if you're making a right hand turn from one street you cross through a drain path that tends to grow moss. When it gets built up that thing is so slick you either need really good tires or you need to barely touch your pedal or you just spin in place.

To be fair most videogames only warn you about ice

This shit is all over my street, not sure why but it's like 10m from the beach, my neighbor broke his back slipping on this stuff it is NO JOKE.

I've never wanted a video to have sound more in my life haha

That mossy stairs really snuck up to you.

1st step is always the hardest

"This only happen in cartoons"

As a Canadian, I thought black ice hidden by a very thin layer of snow was the most slippery substance on the planet until I started sailing

Mossy? It's called algae.

It’s algae

That’s not moss, that’s algae (and for anyone who says, “that’s seaweed,” seaweed is algae, but a specific type of it)

If we’re seeing this, they got the phone back?

My tail bone tingles

In converse too, nonetheless

he saved it tho

Where was he even going

My coccyx felt that

Algae powns another victim

Walking on ice: I sleep

Walking on moss: R E A L S H I T

0 - human 1 - mossy staircase

Looks like nori to me. Slippery af!

You don't need a phone for something to go wrong walking down those stairs.

You have fallen, and became one with

The moss.

Having worked in a greenhouse where a few low spots tended to grow algae, even a small film can royally fuck your day up. Narrowly avoided knocking my head off a bench once.

That slime is every bit as slippery as it looks.

Why no handrails?

Saved the phone though. Respect.

I felt that in my back.

How did the phone not get soaked? Magic!

I work on boats and small docks, most people who come to train there do this once only.

Walking down it, period. People don't realize how slippery mossy areas next to water can be.

Stepping on mossy stone gives me fucking anxiety

I knew that was going to happen

With zero inhibition.

I don’t get what the end outcome was meant to be? We’re they going to walk into the ocean in shoes?

Did anyone else’s stomach turn on that slip? Ouch

Might have a little leak down here?

In some Chucks, too.

This hurts me. Mostly because I broke my elbow last Month so any fall makes me cringe harder

Totally expected that

That's a lesson they're forever going to remember LMAO.

I feel like you ignore wet floor signs..

I'm pretty sure I saw this on reddit a few weeks ago, but recorded from someone else's phone.

The price of the content for Instagram.

This reminds me of a spot on Lake Erie...that's all.

Done that before, on a boat ramp at a boat basin. Made a fool of myself Infront of everyone haha.

As soon as I saw their foot going towards the moss I said "slip" made it 10 times more funnier to me

Such a confident step exactly where they shouldn't be stepping. Like they've never seen algae in their life.

Moss is worse than ice

I... dont't think the phone is the problem here.

Bad form 2/10

And if you don’t know, now you know, neighbor!

r/watchpeopledie

Slip, crack head open, drown.

I think I saw another POV of this on reddit xd

Lol dumbass

I remember when I was younger and i’d try to run down boat ramps at my local lakes. This, every time.
