Am I missing something?

2.4 square metres, 2.5m deep.

That's a volume of 6m^3. Given that 1600kg/m^3 is a low estimate of the density of the sand...

That's 9.6 TONS of sand. How the hell did they shift almost 10 tons of sand? That's the weight of approximately 8 cars.

What the shit?

I fucking hate people that pull pranks. Without doubt they care more about the attention they get than the risks they put on the victim. Fucking children.

This definitely goes down as one of the dumbest "pranks" ever. What's bad is that the wife was in on it! You can definitely die from a 6 foot fall if you're ill prepared for it. I'm kind of interested in what the "mat" was that was used here, but even if they survived it how would they get out? The instant you dig at the side of the pit all the sand surrounding you comes crashing down.

Yeesh :-\

I would laugh normally, but the situation is very sandening

raivey here we run into the ambiguity of people giving measurements in square meters.

Reminds me of episodes in Denmark where the groom dies at his bachelor party, because of bad pranks

As a sidenote to what has already been said. Even dugging small holes is not a good idea. If you are not aware of such a hole stepping / falling into it can result in a whole range of injuries including some which can have long term effects and reduce someones overal quality of life. i.e. don't do it.

Ok so I can't get over the whole digging a hole as a prank. Is that something I don't know about in Japan? Cause if I EVER did that to anybody (or vice-versa) I know that person would be PISSED.

Wow, talk about owned... Very unfortunate, makes me think "when will people learn? When will they learn that doing stupid shit leads to serious consequences?" lt's like stupidity is an incurable disease and we can do nothing about it; except watch people foolishly die.

This is so tragic, i can't believe how incredibly unthoughtful those "friends" of the couple are. I hope we can all learn something from this. Not that I have anything to learn though (I would never do anything THAT stupid, jesus christ).

I can understand digging a small hole that one of them could fall in and then they have a 'ahaha you're dirty now' laugh or something. But they didn't dig a hole, they dug a 10ft deep pit.

Dude, WTF? At what point would doing something like this enter your mind and why would you think it's a good idea?

And WTF was with the size of that hole? Did they have some heavy machinery to help them dig that or something? That's a lot of trouble to go through for a prank...

Digging a 2.5m deep hole is way too much for a simple prank. O_O

It's really sad to know that it was just a prank that ended up really badly, but 2.5m is too much. Everyone should know that. lol

I originally didn't picture the hole in my mind, and was kind of confused at what went wrong exactly. But then i thought about stacking 2 and a half meter sticks on top of eachother and holy hell that is big.

This prank is dumb to begin with, even if the hole was smaller, they could still break an ankle or something like that. That wouldn't be a good present
