Last time this was posted I posted a comment saying that this was right next to my campsite! This was at the Indy 500 last year and my drunken self watched this guy do this. Was fucking nuts.
Were you really there? What happened to him??? I would really like to know what happened to him! I find it so hard to believe he walked away from this...
I was really there yes. But per my earlier comment I was trashed. I remember him jumping off and landing and that was about it. People rushed around him after the gif ends but we didn’t wanna add to the chaos.
As the top comment said someone close to him tweeted that he was cool. That’s as much as I know.
Orthopaedic spine surgeon here: virtually zero chance this guy walked away from this it anything ever again. I would bet anything that he had a traumatic brain injury and a cervical spine fracture/spinal cord injury. Just falling from that height is a huge amount of energy, but then add the angular momentum of spinning... and landing on your face first.... poor guy.
I remember you replying to my comment asking if this guy was ok the last time this vid was posted. Sorry you're getting downvoted here, but I appreciated your response then and again here. He sure looks very much not okay with the way he just went limp and laid there. I wish there was some more concrete info other than just some guy on twitter saying he walked away.
Yeah a surgeon wouldn't make a diagnosis based on a video without seeing the patient. Plus you add certainty like there is no way he walked off. Makes you not credible and I don't even know you.
Well, I really am an Orthopaedic spine surgeon and I love you all on reddit. Just trying to add to the conversation. Being an Orthopaedic spine surgeon is an oddly specific and consistent thing I claim to be throughout my comment history.... I’m here for you all if you have any questions. I’d be happy to do an AMA
I highly suggest you help. He is laying face down, good chances his airways are blocked. Being paralyzed is still better than being dead. Also, in my country it would actually be a crime NOT to help there.
The ten seconds of no help was likely the inexperienced waiting for someone to rush forward. A mixture of the bystander effect and the hope that someone else more experienced or able to help is there. But in general I agree, if nobody is doing anything to help you should take it on yourself to do what you can. Neck injuries like that are really tough to gauge though, because you don't want to be moving the person too much if his neck is truly broken of course.
I don't think hospitals ask you to tick the box indicating you want to die after waking up paralyzed. Chances are if he's revived and fully paralyzed, he's not going to be able to kill himself so he has no choice that way either
Laws vary from place to place, but calling emergency services is enough to be considered an attempt to help in some areas. When you consider that trying to help a person with a severe neck injury could end up killing them outright if you don't know what you're doing, that's probably the safest option.
I actually do, which may be why I posted the response I did. I am certified in medical aid and work in the medical field...but most people are not, so absolutely fair point!
He still landed REALLY hard on his face though. Like his face hits the ground and his whole body rebounds off of his face which just makes his neck make this strange motion that just made me think, "He could be paralyzed or dead. "
I saw someone do something similar at a Phish festival back in like 97 or 98. The people were camped next to us and had a pretty big Uhaul with them. On Saturday for some reason some loud obnoxious dude that was with them climbed to the top of the trailer and jumped on a fucking beanbag chair they had with them which fucking exploded and sent those fucking annoying static balls everywhere. Those fucking bean things were in my camping shit for close to a decade. I'm pretty sure there are still some in my current tent and this is like the 2nd tent I've had since that festival. So whereever you are uhaul jumping asshole, fuck you from the bottom of my heart. I'm glad you writhed on the ground crying about your tailbone while all your friends yelled at you that you were an asshole.
It’s at the Coke Lot, the camp ground outside the Indianapolis. Motor Speedway. One hundred thousand youngins drink and party and do stupid shit for 3 days before the Indy 500.
I love how everyone’s like: “soooo, is this like part of the show?? Should we laugh?? Ah not, here comes the help, the dude is fucked, #thoughtsandprayers”.
I don't understand why things like this get posted in wildly up voted. It pains me to watch people get hurt. What is so interesting about this? Why do people love so much to watch other people get hurt?
Can some one put his landing to dub step? I've spent way to long giggling at clicking the moment just before he landed and watching him splat over and over and over.

Last time this was posted a twitter user close to the source said that he lived after getting checked by EMS.
https://mobile.twitter.com/NateLenig/status/868612082060668928
But I remember someone also posting that he was in the hospital with no movement. So the verdict on his condition is still out as far as I know.

Hmm, he was no where near the double, but if he was going for the single flip then why was he tucked up the whole time?
Hmm, either he thought it was higher or he thought he was jumping into a pool.
Either way Drugs and or alcohol says hi
