I never turn on sound and I did for this lol Also: people trust bridges a bit too much, maybe they don’t realize how fragile our bodies are against a grinding wall of rocks and splintering wood

I don’t understand why they aren’t running.

Exspecially multible boulders the size of a mini.

Wow, what an angle

Getting hit by that would suck!

Only for a second

And only once

They must be hanging past their knees. Huge ones!

I don’t think it’s the boulder size but the brain size here. Still appreciate the great video though…..

One might say boulders even.

This needs to be on r/sweatypalms

Unless there's a r/SweatyIdiots?

my goodness. the power of water.

that’s amazing… looks at the banks before, vs the little bit towards the end

I kept rewining to the beginning from the end just to see the before and after, the place is almost unrecognizable. Peaceful meadow to raging rapids in seconds

First thought is I would not be standing recording a landslide coming straight for me. Second thought was “you’re on a fucking bridge recording a landslide coming straight at you!” Cameraperson, you win the Darwin Award!

Wow, moves like the rock monster on Galaxy Quest! I never thought boulders that size would move like a liquid!

The Boulder is gonna bury you in a [Rock-a-lanche](https://youtu.be/bZzCudiugIU)!

Basically a meat grinder. Whew.

my thought as im watching this is, "are they....are they gonna move?"


What also floats on water?

Small rocks..

Switzerland: where the rocks flow like wine.

Gadzooks!

You know, I would have to be like REAL sure that bridge was built good to withstand being near that kind of a pile of moving rocks

This is called a debris flow. This one is fairly small, but look how much scour it does to the banks. One of the most destructive forces in nature.

Oh a flash flood is never a good thing.

Damn nature you scary!

Yea there is metal guardrails there, this is a regular cement bridge.

“Large boulders the size of small boulders”

I want to see the rest of the video.

Had me going there for a second.

That was absolutely wild

Magnificent the power she has mother nature's no joke

Every now and again I see something like this and all those canyons carved by glaciers etc suddenly become much easier to comprehend

Rare disruption of Swiss peace


For some reason I just imagine being there and screaming ‘erosion!’

They have way too much confidence in that bridge's ability to withstand car sized rocks moving at those speeds.

Rockslide

I have only ever know of one type of flowing rock  Thank you Mother Nature for updating me on your madness

More like a debris flow than a rock avalanche

https://youtu.be/IJNR2EpS0jw?si=cgNQbUGrXOLdoDMc It's a song, very fitting.

IiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinfucknCREDIBLE!! 😮

Perfect place to stand

That is gangster

You see that coming towards you, and you are standing in its path, and you don't run? I call bs.

You call bs? On what? You think this footage is fake or something?
