A ridiculous glitch in Skyrim has been found when a player interacts with a wheelbarrow and quickly pays the price for it. After 12 years on sale, Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has become somewhat of a cultural phenomenon in gaming. One fan has even rediscovered their Skyrim receipt from the midnight launch on November 11, 2011.
When Skyrim was first released in 2011, the amount of bugs and glitches found within Bethesda’s epic open-world RPG was well documented across the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 versions. Even after a decade on sale, and numerous ports and remasters, including PS5 and Xbox Series X/S editions, players are still finding interesting events when walking around Tamriel’s northern continent.

In a post to the r/Skyrim subreddit, a Reddit user by the name of maescyn uploaded a video showing why gamers shouldn’t trust the humble wheelbarrow in Skyrim. In the short clip, the player walks through Riverwood and, after talking to Alvor, jumps on the wooden cart outside the town’s forge before succumbing to an almost instant kill. It appears from the clip that the damage was caused by the wheelbarrow glitching and hitting the character multiple times in quick succession.
At the time of writing, the post has gained 3.4k upvotes and numerous comments from fans, mostly sharing stories of how inanimate objects are possibly the deadliest enemies that players can face during their time in Skyrim. It appears that wheelbarrows aren’t the only thing that adventurers have to be afraid of, with one gamer recently had a shock when exiting a shop in Skyrim as a horse and rider fell out of the sky and rag-dolled in the street.
After 12 years on sale, players are still finding ways to tackle Bethesda’s open-world RPG. A player is currently taking suggestions on a Gigachad playthrough of Skyrim after designing a character based on the popular meme. The suggestions range from not using magic to only using fists, and it remains to be seen how the gamer will tackle one of the more interesting approaches to the game.
Even though Bethesda is working on Elder Scrolls 6, there is still a dedicated community of players exploring the world of Skyrim and contributing to the most interesting finds. It seems that even after seeing a release across multiple console generations, gamers will still be finding quirks of Skyrim long after the next entry in the Elder Scrolls franchise releases.
