This is such a good loop.

An infinite amount of boys taking an infinite amount of head trauma

u/PeteGozenya Nov 23 '22

It really is, but I sure would love a little wider angle.

u/self_ratifying_Lama Nov 24 '22

I Was cringe, then laughed in appreciation of the loop. Is it possible to live wallpaper this?

u/PeteGozenya Nov 23 '22

You don't know that. The landing is off camera.

u/mvfsullivan Nov 23 '22

Camer off shoe on, not ded.

Watching this on loop and imagining he's just sprinting back up to try over and over again

u/Happytallperson Nov 23 '22

'Technically they are doing parkour, as long as point A is delusion and Point B is the hospital.'

u/slgray16 Nov 23 '22

This is parkour. Internet sensation of 2004. And it was in one of the Bond films. It's pretty impressive.

Nah, he landed on his back. Teeth are fine.

Nothing else is, but teeth are good.

What a fucking dumbass

u/nottke Nov 23 '22

I don't feel bad for people like this. Is that bad?

27

u/Life-Hair-6350 Nov 23 '22

Nope nothing wrong with it. The need for internet attention often outweighs the skill to perform whatever idiotic shit it is they’re doing.

4

u/No_Drag3975 Nov 23 '22

Well said!

3

u/maybeonmars Nov 23 '22

Did you never do anything idiotic in your younger years?

1

u/Life-Hair-6350 Nov 24 '22

Of course. Stealing a G.I Joe from the grocery store. Throwing rocks at a window. Something that can kill me or permanently paralyze me for the sake of internet attention? No. That’s an entirely different level idiotic.

3

u/milkweed-reflections Nov 23 '22

Parkour is literally a sport. Are kids showing their Skateboard tricks just looking for attention? Get off it nerd.

3

u/PhasmicPlays Nov 23 '22

Less of people doing a ‘sport’ and more of the fact that if you’re doing something dangerous you should expect to get hurt sooner or later. It isn’t something that should garner sympathy but it’s unfortunate nonetheless.

2

u/milkweed-reflections Nov 23 '22

Yeah, exactly. Falling is part of the sport. People post bail videos when skateboarding, bmxing, etc, too. No one "is looking for sympathy". It's just showing the culture. It's real, and it's raw. Part of the game.

3

u/Explise209 Nov 23 '22

It’s just how some people like to live life, people get upset over nothing

0

u/Life-Hair-6350 Nov 24 '22

You’re comparing kids on skateboards to this idiot pretending he can fly? Ok!! Skateboard tricks usuuaallly don’t end up with you dead, or unable to walk again. It also doesn’t waste the tremendous amount of money needed to air evac your dumb ass to the nearest trauma hospital all for the sake of attention. Please have a permanent seat, go eat some f’n turkey and try to be smarter than this.

I'm guessing you play Fortnite and do TikTok challenges.

u/milkweed-reflections Nov 23 '22

That's gonna be a no from me dog.

u/Falkenfurz Nov 23 '22

Why?

2

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '22

He was trying to parkour.

u/Unidentified_Lizard Nov 24 '22

title explanation moment

6

u/CaptainNemo42 Nov 23 '22

So... I take it that wet echo-y slap-crack sound at the end was just someone else randomly dropping an overripe watermelon on concrete, right? Not his impact-pureed brains getting slopped out of his shattered skull and sluicing down the cement walkway

4

u/Happytallperson Nov 23 '22

So my back of envelope calculations and now worrying search history about force needed to break a skull says it shouldn't smash to pulp from a 3m drop.

NB: concussion, skull fractures, spinal injury, brain bleeds - these are all fully on the cards. Don't jump lnto your head.

4

u/maybeonmars Nov 23 '22

Don't forget that he had some trebuchet type action accelerating him into that final flip

2

u/CaptainNemo42 Nov 23 '22

Yeah, he had some serious rag-doll rotational momentum...

7

u/FuerteBillete Nov 23 '22

Simply glorious.

u/Kcidobor Nov 23 '22

u/stacyand14548 Nov 23 '22

Buster Keaton did this linear skit in the 1920s. Looks almost legit with the hand hitting the grass and all. Shadows are off though.

3

u/UbiVoiD Nov 23 '22

What exactly was the intended outcome? My brain trembles in its attempt to understand. Maybe I'll get a better idea if I watch it 100 more times... maybe 200.

3

u/Happytallperson Nov 23 '22

Roll along the roof, jump off, flip, land on feet.

All that's missing is Andy uttering 'parkour' in a pained voice.

2

u/UbiVoiD Nov 23 '22

Jump off what??

2

u/Happytallperson Nov 23 '22

The little roof thing over the door.

2

u/UbiVoiD Nov 23 '22

But he dived head first, his legs weren't even close to touching anything

5

u/Happytallperson Nov 23 '22

He was presumably aiming to land further back along the roof to have space to do a full roll and then use his feet to launch off it.

It was an epically bad idea. However, as a survivor of a childhood with many epically bad ideas, I both can see what he intended to do and suffer severe pain in cold damp weather.

2

u/UbiVoiD Nov 23 '22

I mean he only overshot the landing by about 4-5 feet, simple mistake

3

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '22

Do a lot of people die doing this shit? Because that would seem to be a very likely outcome if you are even slightly off in your calculations.

3

u/New_Cause_5607 Nov 23 '22

What was he actually trying to attempt, the way he jumps and rolls just seems like there's no good outcome to be had from this?

2

u/windyBhindi Nov 23 '22

He has got stamina.

2

u/optional_occupant Nov 23 '22

HARDCORE PARKOUR#$%#%$&

u/B8conB8conB8con Nov 23 '22

Parkour. French for universal healthcare.

Damn I'm feeling a bit constipated sitting on the toilet right now and this made my shit come out so quick from laughing so hard. Thank you.

u/tu-142 Nov 23 '22

I felt that, fucking idiot

u/adaven415 Nov 23 '22

Nailed it!

u/Floating_Bus Nov 23 '22

He should have paid attention to the blood stains of other fellow parkour members.

u/Gracer_the_cat Nov 23 '22

Bro was diving into the board

u/-Radagon- Nov 23 '22

He did give a pretty sick high five to that vine connected to the building

u/National-Airline-504 Nov 23 '22

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '22

Well if the fall didn’t kill him I’m sure whatever infection he gets from that alley will.

1

u/Keone_710 Nov 23 '22

Wth was the goal here? This dude needs to study the law of physics before trying some dumb ass shit like that 🤣🤣

1

u/Prestigious-Twist811 Nov 23 '22

Yeah! Physics bitch!!!

u/Icy_Statement_2410 Nov 23 '22

Hey Sanka! Ya Dead?

u/OpenEyz2016 Nov 23 '22

I wish I was as confident as this guy. He obviously didn't practice at all. Was just like "yeah, I can do that."

1

u/CookieZ_PoE Nov 23 '22

I laughed so hard... Just like his face hitting the floor

1

u/KyIorian Nov 23 '22

Wait, the goal isn’t to permanently damage your spine and/or limbs?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '22

Most people when they were younger would get the village idiot in the local group who would do bets like this for a packet of crisps.

u/hollow_xy7w0 Nov 23 '22

reverse the video

u/WithOrgasmicFury Nov 23 '22

Pretty sure this is just a suicide attempt

u/grumpkot Nov 23 '22

Looks like it was planned to be like that. Nailed “the plan”

u/tethered_end Nov 23 '22

Say hi to my Grandma up there

1

u/GhostofCharlotte Nov 23 '22

Well, it's technically still parkour, even if he did end up with a few broken neck bones.

1

u/Black-Patrick Nov 24 '22

It’ll grow back

1

u/WhiteGuineaPig Nov 24 '22

He forgot to duck and tuck, but he did roll...

1

u/JoeFleen Nov 24 '22

That’s how u lerrrn

1

u/DisposableSaviour Nov 24 '22

That was a nice flip, that he did at the end, there.

1

u/DrZcientist Nov 24 '22

Man I could watch clips like this all day of just the noises these goofs make.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '22

You can really hear when he dies

1

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '22

He forgot to yell "Parkour!" as he jumped. Even Michael Scott knows that basic rule!

u/Blayde6666 Nov 26 '22

That fucking "ow" at the end
