Watch This Estonian Dude Get Knocked Off The Roof By Falling Snow

Many of the best viral videos transcend languages and locations. They don’t need fancy descriptions or any backstories. You just put them on and either smile or gain a new appreciation for a fundamental truth. Luckily, this video offers both. It’s really funny and reminds viewers that no matter where you’re from or how old you are, cleaning snow off the roof is one of the worst chores ever.

Last winter, Martin Oja recorded one of his buddies in Estonia knocking the snow/ ice off his roof with a shovel. Unfortunately, one of the chunks he cleaned off dislodged the rest of the snow on the roof, and it all came sliding down like a mini-avalanche toward the poor dude doing chores. Luckily, there was so much snow and it was moving so quickly, it actually broke his fall on the ground, leaving him totally unharmed.

You can take a look at a clip of the incident below…

The only thing that could have taken this video to another level would have been if the dude pretended like he was seriously injured for a few seconds. Instead, he hits the ground and immediately shoots around with a goofy, bemused look on his face.

Regardless, the clip is still a great watch, and it’s just as funny now that people have discovered it than it was almost a year ago when it was first put online.
