Dude sounds like the most positive person ever. Took pride in his job that many donât see as glamorous. Fell from a height not rivaled by many. Lost his brother. Suffered many health complications as a result, but says âat least I can walk stillâ
I feel bad for the brother. Being skewered by a fence sounds like an awful way to go
Oh no he wasnât skewered. No no no. He was split in half by the fence. Gruesome.
Severed skewered would be like him going onto a pol or spike lol

hopefully it happened so fast that all he felt was sudden impact. He didn't suffer for long
To be fair, he survived the same way most early air pilots survived, which is jump onto something sturdy with hopefully the aerodynamics of an elephant, and pray that terminal velocity is gentle on whatever part of you survives.
@Ziad Khaled Better than no form of shield at all. Had he just fallen with just himself and no platform, he would for sure be a goner.
I wish people understood terminal velocity.
I have no idea what I just read
@@cabanacat why
Whatâs disturbing is how they tried to make him guilty after surviving this and knowing his brother died as well...
And his brothers wife will be lonely
Me: broke my leg when I was walking
That guy: survived a 47 story fall
I have never broken or fractured a bone
SoupLooters who asked
Nah surviving is a whole lot different than breaking a bone.

Did he actually say that?
Yes
Early bird catches the worm but second mouse gets the cheese! That's pretty much the same also.

I ignored it and didnât notice it until I saw this comment lol
Its so annoying
I donât care what benefits heâs getting. This man is getting more debts than college students
No insurance?
Lol đđ
even with insurance it still won't cover it esp in the USA
@@warburk :-(
no he is not. the company he worked for is footing the bill for any medical bills... that's how it works in the USA

Poor dude got sliced in half by a fence. Rip to him and prayers to his family.
Tbh they need to get paid more omm cause thatâs literally signing a death contract
Not really its pretty rare for death
But i do agree they should get more pay
The hazard is the only reason they make more than minimum wage. You don't have to have a lot of skill to be a window washer.
See he must of been a very lucky one to survived, but I could say that: "Always be careful. You might not see the future, but use it wisely."

i like how this man can still see the blessing behind a tragedy. bless this man and his family, and rip his brother.
So he has the power to turn off fall damage? Interesting
LaurenceĂ2 Gaming yes very interesting.
no, he took 20% damage to his body.
VERY INTERESTING
For real tho
Daniel Hertzler gods ban hammer
I'm just sad about his brother.

Aunt Jemima! Theyâre planning to get rid of your syrup bc someone got offended and butthurt over a brand thats been around for around 60-70 yrs đ€đ
Throw Away seriously?? Nooo, when?
@@generalkenobi4509 dont worry sugar I'll still be around when cars fly
@@BootsThe_Cat that smile scares me
I heard that the platform had wedged between the walls of an alleyway, crumpling into a v shape and Moreno was in the low point so heâs velocity at the end was drastically decreased by this. Similar effect to crumple zones in cars to lower the impact force for the occupants. Still an absolutely ridiculous amount of luck involved. Great video

Dont ask, magician's never tell their secret
He was saved in America hospital....
I am sorry for the guy for when he sees his bill.
Had it been a third world hospital, they'd be billing a corpse!
Workman's Compensation
"No longer works for health reasons" uhhhh how about because he got 10's of millions of dollars and doesn't need to work anymore
Almost 14million settlement was agreed
He has a perk that reduces fall damage

Yeeeaaahhh!!!
If I ever end up as a window cleaner on a skyscraper remind me to take lessons on how to use a parachute before taking the job.
I'm not becoming a window washer! Never in a million years
Even with 60 dollars per hours
Even with $1648201027464729101475783 per hour?
@@herobrine1847 my life is more worth than that
Gershon Berkowitz what about $1648201027464729101475784
I would do it.
Imagine you being a kid that wants to play in the back yard and find a half-dead guy body near the fence.
Few backyards next to skyscrapers in NYC tho
10:12. He said that he couldnt run. But yet he took 5k charity runs. Hol up
He just walked all the way since he couldn't run
I suppose this guy is living about as full of a life as he can get. Good for him. I'm sorry about what happened to his brother.
All I can think about while watching this is that huge medical bill
LOL
Yeah but thatâs also one huge lawsuit
Yeah that's why IN SOME COUNTRIES ITS FREEEE
@@palashashrestha5458 if he was in a country with free health care he most likely wouldâve died of his injuries because free health care is a lot less quality
@@justinrivera3277 ........ no đđ
My dad was knocked off while washing windows by a crane, fell 22 stories cracked is head open, died and was brought back to life. Unfortunately he has some brain damage, so never really knew who he really was. Heâs still able to drive, speak do basically anything but you can tell by talking to him. Heâs not all there.
*The medical bill was even more painful.*
america
That man fell from 47 story , survived & lives normal life .
My friend just fell in love and has gone mad since then đ
I would also assume the window washer told the interviewer how much he loved his job was instructed by his prosecutor to rule out attempted suicide in order to win the litigation court case.
Hmm yes, two brothers who immigrated from Ecuador to America to provide better for their families just decided to both commit suicide and abandon their families at the same time in spite of everything they did to make their lives better.
Bugman Repellent thatâs exactly what the other lawyers would say. That they had a rough life and upbringing and couldnât take it anymore and committed suicide
brain hurts
Me testing is there fall damage:
Lol
2:30 I know what he said "blah blah blah blah blah blah."
So, he was a teenager with a wife & 2 kids when he came here!?!?! Damm.
He finally spoke the day I was born. I needed this.
This dude made 13 million from the lawsuit. Iâm glad for him.
Man, imagine seeing someone falling at that speed and then watching that wooden fence sever him in half. Instant PTSD...
Even reading about this is traumatic. Eric Clapton had a son who died falling from a building. That's why he wrote tears in heaven many years later
The real question is... HOW DID HE PAY OFF HIS MEDICAL BILLS WITH 12 BUCKS AN HOUR
He sued the safety equipment company, heâs also not working anymore so that says a lot about how much money he got from the lawsuit.
Pretty sure the company had to pay for this.
wasn't a miracle at all he just had a totem of undying in his off hand
You never really notice until you listen, most of the people in this animation talk like "blu bleu blue bluh ble blu".
I been knew lol
I can't stop thinking about the brother sliced in half... đ© I've been scared.
He SURVIVED the fall. He didnât leave unscathed tho đ€
Barlex: *sIr nO oNe cOulD've SUrivied tHat FaLl.*
We all know the washer did an MLG with their bucket
I love when the animation goes "bla bla bla bla bla"
I fell 45 ft before!!! Broke my leg and back. But can still walk...
Me: broke my hand falling from a 10 feet high pole
This guy:đ§đ§đ¶đđ€ž
Fun Fact : The longest free fall ever survived was 10,160 meters (33,330 ft; 6.31 mi). It happened to a Serbian flight attendant named Vesna VuloviÄ when the plane she was on was bombed by Croatian nationalists mid-flight. She was the only survivor from the plane.
The Infographics Show: How did he survive?
Me: Mans brought a water bucket it with him, he hit that MLG water bucket clutch.
*minecreeft*
Wow watching an Infographics video the same day itâs released is as rare as me not watching an Infographics video at 2am...
Thereâs definitely a reason he didnât die.
Whether or not we can know enough physical details to discern that reason is another story.
Imagine how sad the family would be. They canât even see him one last time becuz his body split into half.
Infographics: Nothing has ever explained how he survived a 47 story fall.
Me: Well, maybe it wasn't his day to die.
The hardest thing to believe about this story is how enthusiastic he was about cleaning windows all day.
Before I watch this, he probably landed on one pixel block of water and survived
I think the reason why Elsidas survived his fall is the reason he believes
Depending on thick the bottom of that platform was,he could have left the ordeal injury less
A tragic yet happy story. The infographics Show amazes with telling true stories. :)
This has actually happened to my grandad and he survived! Granted it wasnt 47ft and he did have to stay in the hospital a few weeks but he did survive and decided not to work as a window washer anymore
It's easy he just MLG water bucketed When he was close to the ground
gotta be grateful for never breaking a bone
Heâs got that Feather falling IV
Life and death really do the most huh? Like traumatizing two brothers wasn't enough, they had to be tragically separated. I hope the family got their closuređđ
the nurse just had putt an ice pack on his injuries on the ambulance, thats how he survived
You needed to put on your harness on before you step onto ANY platform that you can fall more then 1.5m, its a hard rule at my job.
Fascinating subject and I liked the script but there was some tone issues with the animation. Really wrong to have a grinning man holding a knife with a piece of fence for its blade while talking about how the brother died. The visual of the knife would've been macabre enough but the grinning man just makes it creepy and poor taste.
Yeah I couldn't believe they put that in
Maybe they could have done an animation of a guy doing the splits on the fence at 120 mph!

His name is Alcides Miguel Moreno and I'm his nefew. It is surpricing to see how his history keeps been spread troughout the years.
6:17 the red haired guy is trying to explain something important but the author just keep interrupting him the whole video IAM ANGRY
My ROTC instructor, Staff Sgt. Starling Powers jumped out of an airplane and neither of his parachutes opened. He hit the ground from over 10,000 feet. I saw the newspaper story of it and was blown away reading it.
I'm a roofer who has fallen 4 times in my life. Still a roofer, still not wearing a harness. Maybe I'll get an infographics video after #5 :)
Imagine how horrifying it was for the family that found half of the dead body in their back yard and there fence covered in blood
Question: how?
Answer: luck
It's a bit interesting how Infographics is posting every single day. They probably have really talented animators, or they have bots animating for them. It's impressive either way
The title should be : How A Window Washer Survived a 47 million hospital bill - True Story
Bit of constructive feedback for this video. I think this video brushed over how he survived the fall. I have seen other theories about the cart acting as a roll cage and other science that could have been explored or explained a little deeper.
A window washer died after falling around 5 stories near my house
F...we'll miss him
Imagine doing your work and see this poor guy fall
I'm starting to, progressively, get less and less late to these parties...
What party ?????
0:56
TIS: 2017
Captions: 2007
When I got the notification I thought it said dish washer and I said â another woman being overdramaticâ
My favorite part is 3:36 where you can here the man saying âBlah blah blah blahâ in the background
How it feels to chew five gum visualised
0:55 2017 - Fell from the building
5:07 2007 - Woke up from his medically induced coma after falling from the building in 2017
So... what you're saying is... if you fall hard enough and survive, you're travelling back through time?

Well even though this is basically a How-To, I *don't recommend* trying it for yourself.
That shade at the beginning to the government tho!!!
They kept him alive so he would have to pay the bill
Just watching the hospital part only makes me think of the hospital bill after he recoverdđŹ
To bad he ended up dying after seeing his hospital bill.
I know this is a joke but the company who installed it payed his med bills, itâs what they get for putting their workers at risk
@@Bro1212_ did they compensate money tho?
The news article about his only got like 50k views rip and his recovery only got 1.2k he deserves more Credit
Infographics: Says he can never run
Two-Seconds Later: He runs in marathons for charity.
5k runs aren't exactly marathons.
Love these stories and theory

I feel like I would die from a 3 story fall, this guy topped all expectations.
The infographics show: uploads this
Share my story: itâs free real estate
Iâll like my comment because nobody else will
I've notice throughout near death experiences that they usual happen in colder conditions. My theory is that because it was frigid out, and that outermost blood vessels contract to save warmth. It was the contraction that save the window-cleaner's life, by preventing blood loses.
The problem wasnt that he could bleed out the problem was that his bones were broken/fractured.
What he said in the beginning about transparency is amazing
