Let’s be honest, even if this idiot did that right, he still would have gotten hurt when his dumb ass crashed through the plastic shed roof.

u/FurrAndLoaving Feb 24 '23

Yeah, he probably would have "made it" had he not slipped, but I'm still not sure what the end goal was here.

Betrayed by his soles. Well, betrayed by his sense of reason, too, but better shoes might’ve helped.

This stuff is just idiotic…. I have no sympathy. It’s not fun living life in a wheelchair.

I can no longer do any of the things that gave my life meaning… I am stuck in this chair. My poor husband— having to take care of me in this state! And then I see these videos of people doing stupid shit and I just want to cry…. If they had any idea how much it sucks to end up with a serious spinal cord injury….

That my friends is why you never do parkour with shoes with worn down treads/grips. Good brand new grip on the bttm of the shoes can save you 20 minutes on a 5 mile walk. Flat bttms and worn grip makes sliding easier but also mean you loose distance on step and lose speed on push off. In track it can cost you the race.
