Wow that's bad!I went back over the video and stopped on this frame. This guy could (may) have broken his neck!
We've all done some really stupid things when young and you never think about the consequences, especially when you're drinking. Hopefully it's not as bad as it looks and he isn't injured too bad. Maybe this will be a wake up call for all of them. I had a t shirt that said "To become old and wise, you must first be young and stupid". Truth!

Where the hell did that AC unit at the end come from?? Seems like someone just heaved it into the picture for maximum impact.

It doesn't make any sense at all but sometimes it's so hard to tell now if it's AI or real.

Not only that but he intentionally broke the plywood. He didn't ride the bike down it, he slammed it dead center.
The result may have been the same, but he insured the failure.
Any intelligent human being would have been a bit more cautious. He was looking for click bait.

Well it didn't appear to have any innards. Yeah, quite staged, but still didn't go as planned I'm sure.

Anyway my wife stepped backward while rearranging the contents of the attic and her leg fell through our bedroom ceiling. Bruised her up pretty badly. I was out mowing the grass and didn't hear her calls for help.
I came in and found her treating herself. She explained what happened.
I spent a couple days repairing the hole. I hate working with sheetrock... esp over head. I don't mind putting it up, but taping, mudding, and floating it out is a dusty mess.
We have a large attic space above our master bedroom in which I installed a sub floor. There was 1 very small area that I could not cover, maybe a 14" x 14" square next to our water heater (BTW, I hate that it is above ceiling).She musta forgot she was in the second floor bathroom. lol

That's easy to do and I've painted many ceilings over the years after people have done similar things as your wife did. Most were new houses where a HVAC or electrician needed to go back up in the attic to check/fix something after the insulation was blown in. They either slipped off the floor joist or missed their step onto the next one.
This one looks like they were repairing the floor/subfloor and she forgot it was drywall below her. Jumped down and went straight to the first floor. lol
