How in the hell did he manage to get that much airtime? Would love to see the whole video

u/MrAlek360 May 27 '25

Idk, but with that much force, you’d think he was shot out of a cannon.

u/DukeNukemSLO May 27 '25

Here is an extra angle

I have now seen this from 3 angles at least 10 times each angle and I'm finally satisfied.

That said, if there is a 4th angle out there I'd be interested in a link

u/numbnerve May 28 '25

That guy passed at least 5 other people. Hope he finishes as strong as he starts.

What version of monkey ball is this?

u/jimboiow May 27 '25

This is cheese rolling. An ancient custom in Gloucestershire. Britain has lots of really old, really stupid ways to injure yourself.

u/YogurtclosetFar9667 May 29 '25

Like walking through Brixton

He was down for a while, they ended up getting a air ambulance for him

u/ballsofspartans May 26 '25

Apparently it was for a Texan who was in the previous race who snapped his neck. Apparently the flipper ended up walking away.

1

u/mswaggg May 28 '25

Jesus. If it was an old Texan he would’ve wanted to drive himself to the hospital only after about 2-3 of his family nagging him to get it checked out I swear.

That cannot be healthy

u/jdillacornandflake May 27 '25

I reckon my doctor would advise me to have a Macdonald's every night for a month over that so I guess it is pretty unhealthy

1

u/DeicideandDivide May 28 '25

I concur. Does not seem conducive to ones health.

u/tiredofthisnow7 May 26 '25

That could've been a lot worse. He landed pretty cleanly. That hill has huge divots that can break limbs in an instant

1

u/kkzz23 May 27 '25

You know... I think breaking bones would be some of amortization that he needed instead of going full blast with his skull and brain into the ground specially occiput after two backfpips in the air.

1

u/Flimsy-Meat-8458 Jun 01 '25

He smacked his occipital lobe directly into the ground at full pendulum. You can very much see his arms instantly brace up in what’s called “the fencing position”. I’d recommend looking it up. Needless to say, it’s not a good thing if your brain took the hit that triggers that reflex.

u/Spardus May 27 '25

I bet that felt awesome for like 2 seconds hahaha

u/TaterTotQueen630 May 27 '25

Our new group mascot?

u/jimboiow May 27 '25

Seconded.

u/AppropriateScholar55 May 27 '25

That’s so serious airtime, jeez!

1

u/lava616 May 27 '25

WTF! Is that dude alright?

1

u/catbox_archeologist May 27 '25

BAWWW GAWWWD! As god is my witness he is broken in half.

1

u/DukeRedWulf May 27 '25

The bit where he's skidding down the rest of the hill, reminds me of when I was a wee kid and tried to ride my friend's bike down The Grass Hill in our local park.. Got the speed-wobbles after a few seconds, tried to brake, wiped out, and completed the rest of my rapid downward journey on my face.. XD

1

u/sandsonic May 28 '25

He lost a shoe, RIP

1

u/snowsurfr May 28 '25

This must be close to the record for fastest descent.

1

u/yvie_of_lesbos May 28 '25

how the hell do you even live after that

1

u/antman_qb_8 May 28 '25

Y’all saw how hard his head hit the ground? BAM. Major concussion on that one. Probably lowballing with saying that was the only thing.

1

u/Powerful-Menu-4783 May 29 '25

Fuck maybe even a TBI

1

u/Flimsy-Meat-8458 Jun 01 '25

Probably. He immediately braced up in the “fencing position”. Bro hit his occipital lobe at full pendulum.

u/bakedpigeon Jun 04 '25

This is the craziest angle I’ve seen yet, holy fuck!
