This structure is doing exactly what it was designed to do. For how long I don’t know.

GuW69
yeah, I dont know what you wrote, but it is the tune of Pippi Långstrump
delpharseven
It is expected that the fans are going to do that so the stadiums are designed to behave exactly as shown.

i'm going home. see you fuckers on the news.

Nah.

It's okay, appears to be precision german engineering.
BunnieWigglesworth
Resonance frequencies are a bad thing when structural integrity is desired.
Jamikiii
Are they singing Peppi Longström?
DonaldFuck
Pippi Långstrump* yes.
AndrReich
Instead of Pippi they sing Eintracht Frankfurt. A German soccer club

I was at an anime con held at the Sheraton in Dallas. The band FLOW was on stage and when they started playing GO!, the crowd started (1/2)
(2/2) jumping and the whole room began to shake. The fire alarms went off and we evacuate the room. The didn't let everyone back in.
ImurevJourhein
Structurally sound or not, do you want to taunt the grim reaper?
Dafoosa2
Pfffft. They're just soccer fans. They grow back, like warts.
jaderock
Them fans aren’t scared of reaper man
Better never fly then. Driving? That's right out. Don't cross the street. Best to just stay at home forever.
Your comparisons make no sense. Each of the activities you said require safeguards, common sense, spatial awareness. 1/2
Unsafe behavior during the above three can get you killed. Jumping up and down even as the supports visibly strain qualifies.
The the stands are meant to move like that. Like a car's suspension, if it didn't move it would break.
duckshooter
This is why soldiers break their marching rhythm on bridges.
FailedCrate
If it's only static. That stadium is made to take a pounding.
Skelliton
Didn't Mythbusters bust all over that myth?
railgap
Mythbusters was about entertainment, not science. They fucked up any number of times.
PopeyeTheSailor
they tried but in reality the scale they did it one wasnt that great, they did a revisit on resonate frequency, that was more successful

I feel like this will not ware well over time.
It's called engeneering & supposed to swing.

Nothing man has made will. Except for illogical baseless hatred. That's lasted since our inception.

It flexing slightly—and yes, that *is* slight—allows it to absorb the energy instead of letting it start resonating in the supports.
It is doing exactly what it was designed to do. This is expected fan behaviour.

Actually it's probably ment to do that for example large bridges are designed to flex, bend, and twist under high winds so they don't break

50000 idiots get crushed. Oh wait you said wrong.
scooterthepolluter
Wishing tragedy upon 50000 people and their families just because they are enjoying a game? What's wrong with you?
I'm not sure where I wished anything on anyone
Nothing. Engeneering.

Fuck. That.

+1 the first comment was exactly what i said

Things are made to flex to prevent collapse! Ever watched an aircraft's wings? BOEING BOEING!
notthelocknessmonster
If people start jumping, and the stadium starts doing this, I am leaving. You can stay in the flex stadium, I'm out.

I literally cane here to say exactly this. +1 good sir.

Can never be too careful. Certified engineers and workers made the Hyatt Regency walkway too. It collapsed in 1981 and killed 114 people.
That was in the USA, wasn't it? German building codes & approvals are rather strict.
underestimated37
From memory, the construction crew missed a single part and that’s why it collapsed
Short video on it if you wanna check it out. Pretty interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnvGwFegbC8
It was a design change of the steel tie rods that held it up. It essentially doubled the intended load the rods were supposed to support.
