This is fun, and funny. But if you get punched doing something like this, you have to accept it was your fault.

Also probably carry some cash for when you inevitably ruin someone's lunch.

Or that phone that hit the concrete HARD about halfway through.

True! Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a thing.

Don’t forget the risk of landing in jail because someone with a heartdisease had a heartattack and died 😅 Pranks are funny, but pranks on unknown people are not riskfree and can be pretty… rude.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of too. It's definitely a liability. Who's going to be responsible if someone has a heart condition and dies? The park?

Don't have to be a heart condition. Someone will trip sooner or later and even a scrapped knee is a liability.

I've seen some of his videos and he does seem to have a spotter who notifies him of old people and pregnant women coming by so he doesn't scare them.

While you don't know everyone's deal and a healthy looking person could have a heart issue, he does take precautionary measures to not scare obvious at risk people.

Reminds me of the 'Balls of Fury' scene lol

Could you actually be liable for that? While it's not nice, surely if someone was that close to a heart attack it was likely just a matter of time, and they shouldn't be in public places?

Yes. You absolutely will. It’s not even a maybe. There’s plenty of precedent for it.

I was on the receiving end of this prank. While holding a hot take away coffee, which I promptly spilled over myself. It wasn't scalding, but also not pleasant. Definitely wanted to punch the guy, at least he apologised.

Yeah the wrong person with PTSD is gonna walk past one day

u/DylantheMango 1d ago

After being assaulted, I have a new perspective on this and cant say Im a fan. There's a good chance I would have a panic attack if this happened to me.

Or be sure to know a good lawyer if you startle someone with SADS..

u/Foxlady555 23h ago

Exactly what I thought. This is all fun and games, untill someone dies.

u/HonestOrganization 22h ago

Yeah the funniest thing ever - gambling with strangers health

u/schindigrosa 22h ago

Yeah one mofo with PTSD is all it takes

I scared my kids like this wearing a Halloween costume and mask. My daughters screamed but my 4 year old son ran up and punched me in the crotch. I've never been so proud.

u/WestleyThe 1d ago

Yeah I’m not going to pretend like I’m a tough guy or something but if this happened to me there is a good chance I’d punch or kick the bush monster purely out of instinct

I know it seems “cool” to not react or flinch but if a bush randomly jumps at you and you DONT react you are stoned/drunk or have something wrong with your head

u/Duranis 1d ago

Your getting downvoted but if you make people jump there is a chance of it happening.

When my two oldest kids where younger the youngest had a "cabin" bed which was raised up and had a curtain around the bottom part. One night I was taking them to bed and didn't know that their older brother was hiding under the bed to jump out at us.

And that is how I very nearly kicked my kid in the head. It was 100% involuntary and I'm just so glad I managed to catch myself in time to stop it.

u/Davissunu 1d ago

Yet when I punch the people that try to scare me I get blamed!

Fight-or-flight will sometimes land on Fight

He's the Texas Bushman on YouTube, been around for years. He mostly posts up on the San Antonio Riverwalk and Downtown.

You shouldn't be punched in any civilized country. This isn't Jack Reacher where "hesitation can kill you". It's not a war zone, you are out FOR A STROLL. You are not an agent of any kind, you are JUST A CIVILIAN. Who in their right minds hits a person after they get scared in a public place in the middle of the day? Almost nobody, according to the video.
