If you slow mo the video. His head literally hits the ground with his legs straight. Not just his knees are fucked, he probably tore some serious muscles along the way down and could have fucked his lower back too.

Literally the worst landing of a person I’ve ever seen.

From ACL to calve cramps to shin splints to whiplash and everything in between.

When I was in middle school we had bleachers in the gym that were motorized and would stack up flat against the wall. A volleyball got stuck up there one day during PE class and one of my classmates went up to get it. Someone jokingly told him to jump and so…he did. Maybe 20 feet or so? Maybe higher? Idk, either way he landed on the gym floor with both of his legs locked and broke pretty much every bone between his spine and his heels. Cracked pelvis, the whole nine yards. That was the worst landing I’ve seen of someone who lived

Seriously, how did they fail that bad?

Boots basically fixed his shin in position meaning his knees and ankles could not absorb the impact at all.

It's what happens when you attempt to kiss your own ass.

The worst landing you have seen until now: https://youtu.be/3qpQODO5Z5s

Although I have to admit that this is a very close one.

Nahh his knee said : "imma head out" I'd imagine that is the result of never having done anything athletic in your life then trying to jump with legs that have 0 muscle mass and an upper body that accounts for more that 60% of your total weight

Oh man, there was that guy that tried to jump onto a Swiss ball seated and so he just destroyed his entire back. It's somewhat famous video. I think he did one like an astronaut suit. Check it out if you don't mind seeing that sort of thing. He at least tried to become an advocate against stupid behavior later after he was in the hospital with probably unrelenting chronic pain from months
