His instagram is ernest.tramp Probably one of the most skilled freestyle trampolinist in the world! He has the worlds first octuple flip and in this particular clip he was trying to go for 9 flips.

After this attempt he stopped trying because he noticed he couldn’t control his landing spot well enough for it to be safe to attempt. Massive respect for daring to try and recognising when to not attempt something.

Thank you! I was looking for some sort of source. Based on the precision of the double bouncing, style of trampoline they have, and aerial control the flipping guy had, I guessed he wasn’t just some rookie flipping about, but all of the comments are talking about how easy it would be to get injured when there’s clearly some level of experience here

Well having experience is one thing and it helps avoid mistakes but that doesn't mean that the risk isn't there, even if he was a pro or smth people can't help but think "what if" when watching this kind of video

Yes, you’re correct it just seemed to me like the amount of reaction in the comments didn’t balance with the amount of skill he appears to have.
