Resonance frequencies are a bad thing when structural integrity is desired.

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

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.

FailedCrate
As a person around here, nope. Not gonna support that. Solidarity with people, not nations.
SLENDGENEER
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

It's okay, appears to be precision german engineering.

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.

I feel like this will not ware well over time.
Mistruths
It flexing slightly—and yes, that *is* slight—allows it to absorb the energy instead of letting it start resonating in the supports.

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

It is doing exactly what it was designed to do. This is expected fan behaviour.
It's called engeneering & supposed to swing.
Jamikiii
Are they singing Peppi Longström?
DonaldFuck
Pippi Långstrump* yes.
AndrReich
Instead of Pippi they sing Eintracht Frankfurt. A German soccer club
It is expected that the fans are going to do that so the stadiums are designed to behave exactly as shown.

Thank god for certified engineers and trained construction workers. Thank be to mathematicians, physicists, and chemists.

As a physics teacher, the math and physics is NOT on their side here.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKYOOOOOOOOUUUU
Can never be too careful. Certified engineers and workers made the Hyatt Regency walkway too. It collapsed in 1981 and killed 114 people.
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.
That was in the USA, wasn't it? German building codes & approvals are rather strict.
duckshooter
This is why soldiers break their marching rhythm on bridges.
If it's only static. That stadium is made to take a pounding.
Skelliton
Didn't Mythbusters bust all over that myth?
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
railgap
Mythbusters was about entertainment, not science. They fucked up any number of times.
ImurevJourhein
Structurally sound or not, do you want to taunt the grim reaper?
jaderock
Them fans aren’t scared of reaper man
Dafoosa2
Pfffft. They're just soccer fans. They grow back, like warts.
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.

Fuck. That.

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.
