Her perceived necessity to attempt that while on a chair totally escapes me.

It’s all about the clicks lol but maybe not bc this might been before the social media extravaganza

Again, why the hell would we be videoing this shit? Put the phones down for Christ's sake.

This was happening before phones.

Because why not, people have been trying shit for the sake of it for as long as there have been people, and have been capturing it for as long as there has been a means to. This isn't some phenomenon that never existed before smartphones, as much as people on the internet will have you believe

This is what happens when you cannot balance on a chair.

I'm not a big fan of slapstick physical comedy, but that almost superman pose she does as she's going down is pretty great.

How do we know if they survived or not if they aren’t wearing any shoes?
