In The Fall

Atleast he had a happy childhood.

“Don’t live the same day for 75 years and then call it a life.”

Some people find this sad but I actually find it scary. We only live once, and reviewing your whole life in your last moments and realizing it wasn't worth it must be the worst thing ever.

This video is terrifying. Wasting my life away is one of my worst fears.

Is he happy at the end knowing his suffering is finally ending?

He realizes he’s wasted so much precious time, and so he decides to not make the mistake again. He lights a smoke and enjoys the moment for all it is.

As someone who is not happy in their early twenties, and is missing the amazing experiences that everyone else is having, this animation gives me a lot to think about...

Not many things trigger a man in his 40s... but this does.

The reality of this is more terrifying than anything.

Fun fact: To make him fall for 70 seconds from 0:23 to 1:33, the skycraper must have a height of about 24 km.

This is, and forever will be, my favorite video on YouTube.

Wow, this captures life so accurately, the vitality and fun of youth, the responsibility and duties of adulthood, and the shattering of reality when you learn it's all just one big cycle that claims all of us sooner or later. The loss of innocence, the weight of doing what you have to do to get where you want to go, the crushing defeat of not getting there like you wanted to...

oh yes that was really good for my depression.

Fun tidbit: The reason your life tends to flash before your eyes before you die is because your brain is desperately searching memories for a potential solution to the problem you're facing. Edit: It's been over 4 years now, and goodness there have been so many replies. I feel I should clarify something. I believe I wrote my initial comment with too much absolute certainty. In truth what I wrote is just a hypothesis to try and explain why some people experience seeing their life flash before their eyes when they encounter a near-death experience. Given that testing this, by its very nature, would require someone to be in a life-threatening situation...needless to say it isn't as deeply researched or well-documented as one might want. It's simply a hypothesis that I found quite compelling and fascinating.

I think his smile is inspiring. He is not afraid of death anymore and it gives us hope that in the last moment we will be as cheerful as this guy.

This is so relatable with 90 % of this worlds population Every one just focuses on earning money till they get old Just enjoy life guys dont stress too much !!!

When you realize that he sat at a desk for 1/3 of his life...

When he realizes that he wasted his life until that moment he start to feel good because in his last moment he was happy not doing the usual boring routine, so he enjoyed his last moment free. The message i got form this is that we start to live our life only when when realize we are free, but sometimes it's too late

Love how the computer gets progressively nicer as he gets progressively more depressed

He had amazing childhood. He enjoyed his youth and adult life. But I didn't understand why he declined after 1988 with tremendous amount of sadness and depression on a single table. He also died with satisfaction. I think it's natural with everyone. It doesn't depend on that a man is an engineer, a scientist, a businessman or anything. It's crucial that how he ends up.
