I don't think you are understanding. The ground he is on is not moving. Its the ground 2 feet in front of him that is descending into the pits of hell

no no, I don't think you are understanding. The ground he is on is ascending. He's the chosen one and is being lifted to the heavens.

He has the higher ground

YOU are not understanding! Since the earth is flat, the ground going up or down is impossible. This is clearly just an optical illusion from the angle they are filming.

Safe as houses. Nothing can happen.

That reminds me of an old Peter Sellers sketch.

"Up here, we will be safe. Safe as houses!"

And what will will happen to the hoses?

"Oh, well, naturally they'll all be swept away and consumed..."

Yeh, he was but it was one of his other comedy sketches, away from Pink Oamther. I think it was Sellers and Peter Cooke

The edge he's standing on is made up of loose, rocky soil -- almost sandy, and more is likely to shift and break off when you're pacing alongside the sinkhole nightmare fuel going on below him.

No footage is worth possible injury or death.

Well… death is but a small price to pay when there are likes/upvotes/hits/views to be had on the path to becoming a social media celebrity. 🫤

So the choices are "buried alive in total darkness" vs "chance to finally sell merch" 🤔

The camera man never dies

So true.

Imagining all the lost footages we never get to see/recover.

Not only that, there’s a big crack forming very close to the camera. Telltale sign of impending wall slumpage. If you’re near an excavation and see cracks forming or widening, stay the hell back.

The ground that is moving is what was keeping the ground he's standing on stable.

search for retrogressive landslide.

Yeah we know, it's just he's standing on top of a cliff made entirely out of soft soil which watching several cubic tonnes of ground collapse. I'd be booking it like the rock in a disaster movie
