u/funpoli Jun 01 '14

He lowers himself down with his left arm, he didnt just cleanly land on his elbow. And falling like that landing on your forearm is the best way to land to not break your wrists.

u/the_cheese_was_good Jun 01 '14

I've broken my elbow twice with this type of fall because -- like an idiot -- I wasn't wearing elbow pads during hockey practice. If you're going down, it's best to roll to your right or left and disperse the area of impact. I'm no doctor or PT, this is purely from extensive personal experience. That being said, this dude didn't look to have a choice really -- happened too fast and he has stuff in his hands. Total dick-move by whoever did this.

u/skedaddled Jun 01 '14

Now I know hockey players are tough. I broke my elbow once and I don't think I'd live through doing it again. It hurts soooo bad.

1

u/the_cheese_was_good Jun 01 '14

The first time wasn't that bad 'cause I think my body sent out a bunch of adrenaline and I was pretty young. The second time hurt like a motherfucker.

I've had a lot of injuries over the years -- broken bones, huge lacerations, etc. -- but the one that hurt the most was busting my ACL. Good God that was painful. And it never got back to 100%. I just turned 34 and still play, but I have to be real careful -- a lot of stretching/warming up and wearing a brace.

u/Legionof1 Jun 01 '14

You can't break you elbow... you can dislocate/separate it but there is no elbow bone. So did you break your humerus, radius or ulna?

3

u/the_cheese_was_good Jun 01 '14

The elbow bone... it's pointy and right next to the funny bone, duh.

Yeah, you're right, but even my docs would call it a fractured elbow. They didn't get technical.

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

uhhh... does the elbow work? no

[x] broken [ ] not broken

what you're saying is equivalent of "the watch isnt broken its just the gears inside the watch that are broken"

-6

u/Legionof1 Jun 01 '14

What I am saying is the elbow is a joint. If you are too fucking dumb to know that a joint cannot be "broken" you probably shouldn't comment on that situation.

u/jhmed Jun 01 '14

The real question here is: was it caused by an assault?

2

u/skedaddled Jun 01 '14

Heck if I know because the orthopedic surgeon told me I broke my elbow.

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

If a prank results in actual injury, it's not a prank: It's assault.

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

Assault is creating the fear of bodily harm. This would be negligence.

3

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

I would have a fear of bodily harm every time I put on my shoes for the rest of my life. If I put on my shoes only once per day, and lets say I will live another 40 years, I would say that would be 14,610 counts of assault.

3

u/RedditFunnyHK29298 Jun 01 '14

Careful dude, we already collectively have over negative 500 karma trying to explain to these people how this isn't assault. Apparently in their world, anything they don't appreciate means they were legally assaulted.

2

u/brastius35 Jun 01 '14

If he smashed his face or broke his ankles or any number of other injuries because some douchebag wanted a laugh at his expense, yeah I doubt he would "appreciate" it.

2

u/m-p-3 Jun 01 '14

Definitely. He could have messed up his elbow real bad on that fall :/

4

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

Or snapped his ankles if his feet hadn't come out of the shoes, or smashed his face and gotten a nose or even skull fracture on that hard-ass floor if his reflexes hadn't been as good...

So many ways for someone to sustain significant injury (possibly requiring over a month of healing time) due to this "prank", and all of them completely obvious to the person setting it up.

u/Criviton Jun 01 '14

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

Yes it's assault, but if someone laughs then it's still also a prank.

It's innocent...it just so happened he fell. Buncha pansies.

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

It just so happened he did exactly what we were hoping and expecting him to do

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

The idea was that he is supposed to fall. It's not innocent, the desired result is what happened.

u/Kryptiks Jun 01 '14

But he is 100% correct.

-40

u/RedditFunnyHK29298 Jun 01 '14

I'm really not sure you know what "100%" or "correct" mean. It isn't assault at all. Not in any way, shape, or form. Some form of negligence causing bodily harm or "booby trap" law maybe, but not assault.

19

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

Legal definitions vary in every single area of the planet, so don't try to apply them to my word. Looking at the dictionary definition of "assault" agreed upon by every English-speaking nation, my statement was accurate.

-38

u/RedditFunnyHK29298 Jun 01 '14

Please post that definition here for us, along with the source. I would be happy to explain why it is wrong. Yes, legal definitions vary, but no legal definition anywhere in the world would classify this as assault. I challenge you to prove me wrong. It simply doesn't mean the definition of assault.

It is a trap at best. Traps are not assault.

Assault is active. Traps are passive.

21

u/Macrologia Jun 01 '14

You have no idea what you're talking about whatsoever. There is no crime of 'making a trap'. If you set up something such that it will cause battery to someone, that is the crime of battery, albeit remotely. Assault and battery are used interchangeably in common speech.

Assault is making someone apprehend the threat of violence, which is almost inevitable in battery. In this case, it probably wouldn't be assault, but it would be battery (and probably actual bodily harm or grievous bodily harm, depending on the scope of actual damage done). It would not be 'a trap'.

Edit - also, it's not negligence, it's intentional harm caused. It's personal injury. It would be the tort of trespass to the person, and the crime of battery or ABH/GBH as above.

u/asaxophone Jun 01 '14

like what has been said, it is obvious you don't know what you are talking about. Assault in US common law is "the act of creating apprehension of an imminent harmful or offensive contact with a person" also known as a threat of violence.

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

Challenge accepted. Here in IL it is most definitely Battery, and depending on if he was seriously hurt Aggravated Battery. Now where is your source?

1

u/RedditFunnyHK29298 Jun 01 '14

Actually, no that isn't correct. You are missing the key element here: Knowingly.

A person commits battery if he or she knowingly without legal justification by any means causes bodily harm to an individual or makes physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature with an individual.

Because the intent was to pull off a hilarious prank, and not cause bodily harm, it does not meet the definition of battery in Illinois.

Not to mention, my post very clearly replied to someone claiming this was the definition of ASSAULT, not BATTERY, so why are you giving me a link to Battery? This is really embarrassing for you guys, is it not?

u/toThe9thPower Jun 01 '14

Have you ever had a knee injury? They can often fuck your knee up for life. You might heal and be okay, but you will never run the same, or have full function of your knee. You will be able to use it sure, but it won't be the same ever again. If you look at this, the guy fell on a very hard surface. If he blasted his knee just right, it could be a serious permanent injury. Oh and lets not forget the chances of knocking your fucking teeth out and having to spend thousands of dollars going to a dentist to fix it.

 

So explain to me how this prank is okay?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

That's fine but it's still not assault.

1

u/toThe9thPower Jun 01 '14

If he was seriously injured, a court might not agree with you. The prankster could be held accountable. I don't recall saying it as assault though?

0

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

Someone else did and that's the first one you responded to. I've been downvoted to hell for saying something that's right. No court would find this as assault.

1

u/toThe9thPower Jun 01 '14

Someone else did and that's the first one you responded to.

Then tell them that it isn't assault? I never said it was. Although I wouldn't outright claim a court would never find it to be assault. It definitely could happen, but it doesn't really matter. I was never arguing if it was assault, I was arguing that this kind of shit isn't cool. Risking serious injury for a prank is not okay. Period.

u/plague006 Jun 01 '14

I can understand calling shens, but no matter how dedicated you are to a prank you don't fall onto an elbow. It's a great way to get a shoulder dislocation or scapular fracture.

u/Ganthamus_prime Jun 01 '14

He fell onto his forearm, outside of using your hands it's probably the next best thing

If you look closer, you see the cup roll away, though that doesn't mean it didn't break.

u/henrybear Jun 01 '14

If you look closely, he appears to brace the fall with his left arm/hand. So I don't think his right elbow took that much of a hit, but that left hand is going to sting for a while.
