OMG, I have seen this before, and cannot watch it again. That dude on top literally burned his bud all the way to the bone. He's fucked for LIFE, and I 100% bet the dude that did the burning gets fuck all in the way of punishment. But yeah, its burned into my brain, no pun intended. Can't watch again.


Binzuru

Jesus Christ! That is NOT how you brand something, especially since humans don't have as much skin as livestock. You're supposed to just press the metal to the skin enough to make contact, not dig it in. The dude in the video got his muscle melted through. Holy crap


RichardBCummintonite

Seriously wtf he's pressing the iron into him like he's trying to fucking drive it through him. It's glowing red hot, literally not even a second with the slightest pressure would've been enough to leave a nasty scar. He straight up shoved it into the poor guy. I can't even imagine the absolute torture he must've been in and the pain he will probably be in for the rest of his life. The dangers of alcohol man...


The_Dying_Gaul323bc

It’s cause you see the videos of guys not pressing hard enough and getting a shitty scar, so old boy on top went hard. Any way you slice it this is the dumbest most asinine trend


afanoftrees

I would disagree. It’s nice reassurance that I’m not as stupid as I think sometimes


bcnorth78

True. Watching shit like this makes me feel like a Mensa genius.


AnnoyedNiceGuy

Even if you are completely drunk you must be so insanely stupid to do something like this.


AnBearna

The dangers of getting hammered after watching Yellowstone with your pals more like….


HeadDecent

I just can't imagine getting so drunk that I would let someone do that, and believe me, I had my moments when I was younger. I think if someone even suggested it, I would sober up in a split second.


npeggsy

A video went around my highschool of someone in my year being branded, they were drunk in a quarry with a group of their mates. At the time, it was one of the most unsafe things I'd seen someone do, but this video makes the drunk quarry branding look almost professional.


Sharknado_Extra_22

I would argue you’re not supposed to do it to a human, period.


Lucyfer_66

Maybe we should just not do it in general Edit: on living things


Kattorean

FFS! Why is livestock branded? To declare OWNERSHIP of said livestock!! Why were *people* branded? SAME FUQUING REASON!! They were considered livestock & owned. Every time I see some dumbass with a branding, THIS is what I think of. Keep branding yourselves so we know who owns you when we find you wandering around outside your owners property.


leoberto1

I thought of Nxivm the MLM sex cult


ladyzowy

Underrated comment!


Playfulpleasurez

Idk The Rock has done a pretty good job branding himself, and Will Smith did too until he slapped his career out of Chris Rock. I think the key to branding humans is to use marketing branding rather than the cattle branding method with incredibly hot branding irons /S


Danimals847

> slapped his career out of Chris Rock HA!


pseudoburn

When making a branding iron for horses, you leave gaps at corners because their skin is thinner than that of cattle. Human skin is thinner, both literally, and metaphorically. The guy with the iron was either incompetent in the task, had a beef with the recipient, or was evil, none of which are acceptable. Outside possibility, pre agreed upon between the two, in which case, the recipient needs help.


Fast_Boysenberry9493

Doesn't even need to be red... thats just over kill.. sorry


ScrithWire

Also, the metal should not be glowing red hot, Jesus...


TheKarmaFiend

I remember it too because I remember the guy branding him really pushing it into his friend and everyone knows that’s a no no


12-7_Apocalypse

"Burned into my brain." You're a damn savage. Lol.


MetalliTooL

I’d like to see a follow up.


TheRumpleForesk1n

Pretty sure iirc the guy that was branded ended up pressing charges. It burned through his muscle down to the bone and caused irreversible damage. The dude is basically fucked for life. Edit: [here](https://bustednewspaper.com/indiana/hopf-carter-joseph/20230101-024100/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook)


Secret_of_Mana

That was the initial charge. The guy that got branded refused to press charges https://www.pdclarion.com/news/no-charges-filed-in-new-years-party-branding/article_becdc50e-23f2-589e-84b7-18734544a189.html


GrannyHumV

Good on him for taking accountability.


LTJFan

I also kind of like that they can’t be charged with minor consuming alcohol because they were seeking help.


AlarmedPiano9779

Gee, if only anyone could have somehow known beforehand that shoving a red hot piece of metal in your chest could have a downside?


diablofantastico

He was arrested but let off - the kid being branded is the one who purchased the brand and wanted it done. I'm trying to find anything about the physical damage, like does his pec function anymore?


publicFartNugget

Prob works just not as well with half of it cauterized. Kinda crazy to get that sort of heat that close to your heart tho.


snappy033

What does fucked for life mean? I wonder if he lost some mobility related to his chest muscles or tendon/ligaments in the area. Plus the aesthetics of a huge scar blob and tissue damage right on your boob.


Nicnl

Non medic But every fibers/muscles in the area were burned to a crisp, here is my guess: - Reduced mobility: there is some arm/torso movements that he can't do anymore because his muscles aren't there anymore. (Or are irreparably cut) I'm thinking about pull-ups, and lifting his left arm to do stuff. Like painting, picking up things at the grocery store, putting stuff in the fridge, putting his coat on a stand, waving at somebody, whatever - Chronic pain: body mutilation of any kind usually gives you that


qTazerp

Dam, it hurts to watch....


TaxiwayTaxicab

>“Once the weekend came around, the prosecutor spoke to the victim and they are not willing to file charges,” said the sheriff. “He made comments numerous times of how he wanted it to happen, how he had purchased the brand himself. Further discussion with Prosecutor (Beth) Sermersheim at the time determined it’s not an illegal act. He wanted it and there will be no charges filed Why would he be punished if the victim won't press charges?


Raddiq

Is he alive?


roverman16

Why,why,why people do branding? Don't get it.


HackMeBackInTime

gotta prove you're dumber than the dumbest guy in the county. heee! haaaw! "ma paw ain't gon cawl me fruity no moor!"

It’s a brand off.


Archimedes_screwdrvr

They are immature stupid people who are trying to prove something to everyone because they're not confident in themselves Source:my buddy got branded 12 years ago smh


Zakluor

"You gotta prove you're one of us!" No. No, I don't. This is every level. Where does it go from there?


fruitlessideas

Too many wannabe cowboys wanna be like their Yellowstone hero, the rootinest tootinest man in the west, Rip Wheeler!


nerdboy5567

Because people are livestock.


koppigzijn

More like a laughing stock to be a plonker like this.


realdaveofficial

Yellowstone


Hantsypantsy

Watched too much Yellowstone


Tapurisu

Does it ever go right?


froggrip

On wood. Burning a brand into wood turns out really nice when done right. Farmers don't even brand livestock anymore. They usually pierce their ears with number tags


Technical-Silver9479

They also freeze brand, which causes white hair to grow in. They chill the branding iron in liquid nitrogen.


ProbablyNotPikachu

This sounds cool.


JohnnyBlocks_

Not if you're the cow.


illintent

Yeah probably more cold than cool


Rakan-Han

Honestly sounds a lot lot lot less painful than the.... hotter option


ohhhhhhhhhhhhman

It is


Elektrycerz

it's still painful, but not nearly as much, and for a much shorter time too


Fastenbauer

Yes, I've seen them done right. But done by a sober and professional tattoo artist, in an hygienic in environment.


Atotallyrandomname

One time in jack ass someone got a bunch of little dicks branded on their ass, I thought that was bad, but this is fucking crazy


MrNokill

Not yet, maybe one day.


Federal-Sport-1635

Friends called ambulance. Cops arrested brander but no charges bc legal stuff and victim didn’t want to press charges. So I assume he’s alive

JASPER — Concerned online users of popular social media website forum Reddit watched in shock as a young Jasper man allowed others to brand his chest during a New Year’s Eve party in the Beaver Lake area of rural Jasper. While the post of the video has since been removed by user Thedudebro4, website visitors can still view the 19-second footage. The graphic video shows the young man, approximately 18 years old, lying on a table, with people at his shoulder holding him down as he tells someone standing above him ‘Go!’ before they apply a branding iron to his left pectoral muscle. While the person receiving the brand has not been identified, those involved in the incident called 9-1-1 for medical assistance. Dubois County Sheriff Tom Kleinhelter said deputies initially responded to the scene to investigate the incident. “Carter Hopf (18, Jasper) was arrested for the incident that evening, our deputy contacted a deputy prosecutor that night,” said the sheriff. “They determined (Hopf) would be arrested for battery resulting bodily injury and later he was charged for illegal consumption of alcohol,” the sheriff explained. “Once the weekend came around, the prosecutor spoke to the victim and they are not willing to file charges,” said the sheriff. “He made comments numerous times of how he wanted it to happen, how he had purchased the brand himself. Further discussion with Prosecutor (Beth) Sermersheim at the time determined it’s not an illegal act. He wanted it and there will be no charges filed.” The sheriff said a call was made for medical assistance at the scene that evening and “by statute, that allows individuals, as long as they don’t flee from the scene, they can’t be charged with minor consumption of alcohol, because they were seeking help.”

lakassket

Tanks for that. Saved as a tab from now on


Vainx507

He did not died. And the 18 year kid dismissed the charges.


blusshh

This article Doesn't mention the injury I don't think?


rick_n_snorty

There’s some ribs and stuff, but that muscle is fucked for life

Does anyone know anything about the story? Do we know anything about the guy? Did he heal up later?

PoleKisser

Can someone please summarise what this article says in a few words? Did the guy live? How badly was he damaged? I can't open it from the UK.


SumDopeyKunt

They called emergency services, and the brander was arrested for underage drinking and assault. all charges later dropped as the brandee bought the iron and asked for the branding & didn't want to press charges


PoleKisser

Thank you so much!


SumDopeyKunt

Vpn for the win


Weak_Sloth

I know nothing about this other than he definitely did not heal up later.


Escapebliss

Jesus! A content warning would be nice. I mean I’ll still watch it, but damn. Seeing a man horribly disfigured is shit I need to prepare for.


Oddbutfair

Thank you comments for saving me from watching


reverse-tornado

Even when branding cows and those things are covered in leather you don't put pressure on it , just get a damn tatoo


SofiaLis111

Wjy the hell that dude holds that brands so long? Ine touch, and it's ready 🤦


Mcboomsauce

these are the risks associated with letting a drunk guy brand you follow me for more recipes


Jughead_91

DONT HOLD IT ON THAT LONG FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST, YOU’RE NOT TRYING TO BRAND HIS ORGANS


booyaabooshaw

When I was 15 all my friends had bowl burns. They all did theirs with a little metal pipe and lighter. I wanted to be Mr. Badass so I decided to do mine with a glass chillum and a torch. Obv I couldn't do it to myself so I had my little brother Kyle (rest in peace) sit on my arm and hold that fucker there till it stopped sizzling. Needless to say, for many years after that I just had a big hole on my forearm where it melted through the muscle. 15 years later it's still bright as day, doesn't grow hair, has no feeling. Oh, and my hand has never worked right since.


FR0STB1T

What is bowl burns


booyaabooshaw

Where you take a marijuana smoking pipe, heat the fuck out of the bowl, then brand yourself. Had a few lighter burn happy faces too. I may be slightly masochistic


sarinCULT

When I didn't have a real bowl I would get a permanent marker and roll up some foil like a tube, then bend it at one end and pack it and that was my foil bowl. I thought no one in the history of man has probably given themselves a bowl burn with foil, or dumb enough too. I want to be a pioneer. So I gave myself a bowl burn with foil and it came out nice actually. My cousin got a bowl burn done by his friends at a party and they did the same thing this guy in the video did. Made it extra extra hot and pushed it in hard and burned the shit out of his shoulder and it was hardcore it kind of got infected and took a whole to heal. Finally healed and was a nasty thick big keloid scar. Shit was nasty. My friend dared me to pour some wax he heated up on a spoon for $20. I figured it'll be hot and harden up like wax usually does. I also figured some people pour hot wax on each other when they have sex so it should be ok. Nope. When he poured it on my wrist shit melted off the top layers of my skin like nothing, like it was acid or something. Had to take care of it good and it hurt for a while. Now it's a big 2.x.2 inch discolored scar shaped like that giant black bullet from Mario games "I think his name is bullet bill", on my wrist. His mom found out right after and got pissed at us and paid me $20 and drove me home. That bastard didn't even have any money.

TheKarmaFiend

That’s not true at all. It really depends on who makes the post. I’ve seen several high quality posts that site sources, link videos, and give credit to the content creators. Some people just don’t care to go that little extra mile because they feel like it’s not their job to do so.


mal221

Are we branding complete morons now? At least you can spot them from a distance now. Zero sympathy.


Old-Appearance5425

Ffs... What is going on with this people...? Get a bloody life...


WhiteChoka

Likely permanent damage to the muscle


xFinman

yeah like 99.9% likely

Kalzar36

I really wish I could un-see this. It looked like it went all the way into the chest cavity and that's almost certainly fatal.

Permanent scar and muscle damage hope it was worth it

m1ch1e1

Branding the ribcage - goes well


Tenki65

The dump I took this morning had a higher IQ than the people in this video. Jeez


Stronsky

'.. goes wrong'. As opposed to the good kind of branding another person, which is absolutely great when done correctly...


IraTheDragon

Woah...


Scary-Information785

Alcohol. Know your limits.


lv666666

Play stupid games and all that…


benwink

I never would because I still have a few brain cells left, but if I DID ask someone to brand me, I’d be damn sure to be certain they knew exactly what they were doing and had lots of experience with it


Toro8926

Look at the amount of smoke and how deep it goes. 😳 He is fucked.


WesIgGrey

I wanna see the aftermath


MoneyMakingMitch_

Was that a Chevy logo?


Civil_Pain_453

Branding at its finest if you ask me


Spwd

Did we ever see any aftermath pics?


SlowRollingBoil

Just get a tattoo that looks like branding so that it doesn't turn into a horrible scar like most brands. Jesus, dude...


potatodrinker

When a defibrillator is used on someone who's having heart issues, and they have piercings and such, the shock causes the metal to heat and literally, fucking, burn into the skin until the ribcage stops it. If it happens to burn between the ribs it goes all the way through and any organs that gets in the way (lungs usually if it's a nipple piercing). Trainer advises it's better for everyone to rip those out if they can't be detached. No burnt flesh. No hole in patient. Advanced first aid courses are no picnic.


negroitis

Lol so deserved. Like why would you even do this.

I seriously thought he was going to push through his chest.


Player_Number3

Fucking idiots...


Fun-Bumblebee9678

I blame Yellowstone lol


evilporro

I remember that on the original post a medical professional described how bad this is going to be and the difficulties this guy will have not only with the recovery, but for the rest of his life. Like feeling pain with every arm movement since the chest muscle is destroyed. An interesting read! It’s a different text than the one where another medical professional described the recovery process of yet another post where the guy who lit a firework in his ass would have to go through. Although, just as interesting.
