To the uneducated eye, ropes appear to be pretty harmless. Should one chance to cross your path, all you have to do is jump over it, and everything is going to be OK, too many people think.

As it turns out, things are by no means this simple. On the contrary, ropes can sometimes prove to be evil, wicked beings that derive pleasure from tripping unsuspecting folks and making them land flat on their face.

If you doubt my words, check out the video above. I guarantee that this footage will forever change the way you look at ropes. It might even make you want to never again have to deal with one.

The video shows a bunch of penguins trying to jump over a rope that is blocking their path. Despite their best efforts, the birds keep tripping and falling.

I don't know about you, but I for one have to admit that this footage is making me experience some very contradictory feelings.

On the one hand, I cannot help but be amused. On the other, I feel a bit sorry about giggling at these penguins' misfortune.

Just for the record, it must be said that the footage first made it online back in November 2013. However, it has recently resurfaced, and I could not help but share it with you.
