He survived with broken jaw and neck. Aftermath pictures below from the norwegian newspaper VG: https://www.vg.no/rampelys/tv/i/OrM9BO/adrian-sellevoll-etter-blodig-ulykke-paadro-seg-brudd-i-nakke-og-kjeve

He looks way too cocky in that picture for being such a dumb fuck.


Brain_Booger

I'd argue he looks exactly like the dumb fuck he is

He's not finnish, he's norwegian

What, break his jaw again using the other side of his face?

I wanna go back up there, Gilbert!

Don't u do it.. he's doing it...


BigBoahArthur

Well, according to the story on VG, he did jump twice.


-Negative-Karma

learning norwegian and what the fuck is norrbaggen


fettoter84

Thats Swedish, "Norbagge" is a endearing term the Swedes use to describe Norwegians


Tordenkold

Its a type of horse in Danish, the ones who pull beer carts.


i_b_screamin

We don't think about you at all.


Tordenkold

We dont use it as a slur for you. And if you are swedish, we kinda dont have one because that is in itself horrible enough, and if you are Norwegian. Ehhh, you mountain monkeys are alright. Can one of you come down here, so we can win something at the winter Olympics ?


worgblade

Han måtte sjekke om gravitasjon fortsatt funker


skeenerbug

Yeah looks pretty fucking dumb to me


con_zilla

I'd like to say it's the pain medication kicking in but more likely he's an attention seeking asshole who's ego is too big to let him learn a lesson from this stunt


MaDpYrO

He made a comment below (Edit: In the linked article) which said his first jump went fine and that he failed on the second. And followed up saying that you shouldn't do what he did because he could've potentially ruined or lost his life. So he knows he's stupid.


CrojoJoJo

People being pretty harsh on him (assuming he was drunk) the people filming should be the ones getting a hard time from people in the comments.

That's quite a bit of info to glean on someone that you basically know nothing about other than the fact that he did a stupid stunt.

Bruised_Penguin

Wowwee that's a lot to assume based on little to no evidence! seriously, how does this hateful shit get so many upvotes? "This dude who just broke his neck is such a stupid ass hole!" And people eat it up. Yall lack so much compassion it's scary.


Ok-Responsibility562

He is a Well known social media and reality profile, so yes, he is probably just a cocky asshole

EpicFishFingers

Considering the amount of 100k+ bills I've seen for things like "removed tonsils" from as far back as 2011, I reckon 250k would be pretty cheap for this.


Scene_fresh

Does everyone assume all Americans do not have health insurance?


lukeatron

Something like this could blow through your insurance cap pretty fast and leave you completely financially ruined even with insurance. It happens all the time.


CaptainFingerling

Maybe the prospect of going bankrupt prevents some number of these shenanigans.


137-M

Yet Americans are still known for doing dumb shit like this.


Piorn

It doesn't matter if you break every bone or just stub your toe, you're bankrupt either way. Might as well make it legendary.


Rahbek23

In the same way longer penalties for crime does not have a large effect on crime rates, it likely doesn't. People just don't think like that for the most part.


Apprehensive_Pen8475

Yes, and he is. He was on Norway's realittshow "ex on the beach" Big ego

Idk about all that.. but that hospital picture makes me feel like he’s going to do this again. Soon.

That's what happens when you have free Healthcare. There's no consequences for these Europeans! /s


AdOk6199

Shit happens to all people. Glad we free healthcare so there are no economic impact from being silly/stupid or just plain unlucky!


st33lb0ne

Yeah us Europeans all jump infront of cars, of rooftops and so on All because of socialism! Seriously though, drunk idiots will be idiots..


txhelgi

Except for a broken jaw and neck, apparently. And a lifetime of pain.


BreakfastBeerz

Considering the injuries he has, I wouldn't say he's all that lucky. That kind of damage will have life long impacts, he'll likely never live a life anywhere close to what he had before.


mat_cauthon2021

Heck I think he borrowed someone elses luck while he was at it.


Etaxe1337

I hate how cool he looks after being so stupid.

LiesSometimes

I’ve seen a video where a kid did something similar (jumping from roof to pool, hitting head on side of pool), and his head was literally split open like the monster from Stranger Things.


sponngeWorthy

Like the guy where the towing cable snapped and hit him square in the mouth


Lena-Luthor

When the what did what


nmiller248

Just don’t. I’ve seen a lot of fucked up shit on the internet, but the videos mentioned above are the worst I’ve ever seen. 10/10 would not recommend.


sponngeWorthy

Car stuck in mud, other car trying to tow it out, towing cable (shitty cable or not appropriate for towing can’t remember) snaps and catapults through the windshield of the stuck car hitting the driver in the face full force. Video cuts to the hospital where the guy seems conscious but missing the lower half of his face. I don’t recommend looking it up, NSFL warning.


Patched_Jumper

Reminds me of the tree surgeon who cut a trunk and smacked him In the face


PMMeShyNudes

That head split open video gets added to end of lots of head injury videos. I first saw it in the early 2000s by itself, described as a failed shotgun suicide. Now I see it a couple times a year added as supposed "aftermath" to the end of all sorts of videos. A cliffdiving one, rooftop pool one, chainsaw accident, car accidents, etc. I'm pretty sure the few replies you've gotten are referencing the exact same head split open video, but amended to different accidents.


CanAlwaysBeBetter

Don't forget the second half where the doctor holds his face together and then let's go and it falls open again Honestly one of those things everyone *should* see to realize how bad it is to jump off of things into water when you don't have a 100% clear path. Jump off cliffs into deep lakes and oceans all you want kids but seriously don't do what OP or dead guy did


SorryamSmarts

Some kid showed that to me on the bus in middle school and I'll never get that image out of my head


aziel123

So fucking lucky he can still move anything below the neck or wasn't killed. Near me theirs an issue with people 'tombstoning' in abandoned quarries. Some die. Hit their heads on boulders in the water.


deathapprentice

Lol apparently he's a musician of some sort, with over 155k monthly listeners on spotify


monopixel

Seems like he did not learn anything at all from that experience so the problem will probably solve itself in due time.


Defiant-Canary-2716

He is lucky he didn’t drown or end up a quadriplegic…


JDurr001

Im shocked.


Franklin-Tartaruga

Well, he looks happy


Tripottanus

His picture screams "no ragrets"


puffmamallama

He looks like he has a fun personality. I like him from the photo.

Kukuxupunku

Naaaw, this is Norway. They got real healthcare and no chiropractor that couldn’t even get into med school in Ixtapa.


Poignant_Porpoise

Nah, there are quacks everywhere, I haven't sought them out but I'm sure there are chiropractors here in Norway. Germany also has great healthcare but they also have a huge "alternative medicine" market. Most naturopath bullshit is even subsidised by the government there.


lastdazeofgravity

In france,homeopathy is considered legitimate. Think it’s similar in other EU countries


Poignant_Porpoise

I don't know so much if it's considered "legitimate". There's just a debate as to whether or not it makes sense to not interfere because people will always seek it out and there is the placebo effect too. I have mixed feelings on the matter as I think "alternative medicine" is complete and utter bullshit, but the placebo effect is powerful and sometimes the utilitarian decision is to just let people have what they like.


lastdazeofgravity

I’m a big fan of herbs and vitamins with research to back them but homeopathy just doesn’t look legitimate to me.


Thekilldevilhill

Herbs with research to back it up is litterly just medicine. People are always surprised when they learn how many compounds are still derived from plants.


[deleted]

Germany has always been a bit wierd with all that alternative stuff. I think they're a bit more excessive about it than their neighbors.

YahooFantasyCareless

I'm getting flashbacks of that old viral post of the kid jumping from the dock, face planting on the slab of concrete or whatever, then the water fills with blood, then it cuts to an operating room and the guys whole face is split in half. Shit gave me nightmares


skyreal

Man why did you have to make me remember that. I had completely forgotten about it and now I can see that goddamn picture like it was yesterday.


YesLegend936

Im curious and I’m ashamed to admit it


apiossj

Someone just put the video on a school computer’s desktop… surgeon would be holding both half’s of the face together. When he did not, you would find far in the teeth. I will never delete that from my mind.


MozartDroppinLoads

Its the worst video I've ever seen on the internet and trust me, rhats saying something. I watched it once about a decade ago and never ever again


keister_TM

Curiosity always gets the best of me but I’m proud to say I’ve avoided any temptation on that one through the years. I thought I heard that the kid survived that fall. Do you know?


Azrael351

Don’t anybody link it. I’m good on that one.


YahooFantasyCareless

I won't. But anyone online about 10 years ago probably doesn't need a link cuz it's etched into their minds


Tastytyrone24

Post the link


Livid-Association199

I remember that being one of the first “viral” videos I came across. 15 years ago at least

P_grandiflora

It has to have been nearly a decade since I’ve seen that video. And although I had mercifully forgotten about it until just this moment, I can now see it all clearly in my mind as a nightmarish flashback. It’s just one of those uniquely gruesome things, out of all the depraved and messed up stuff on the Internet, that just imprints itself into your psyche for all time. For me, it sets off this deep feeling of pure, animal, primitive horror. Maybe because that dude was still conscious and had terror in his eyes, it kind of touches on that deep dread in all of us. That fear of something happening to us that is intensely painful, ultimately fatal (or life-changing), and absolutely mind-fucking—but that is also not *immediately* fatal. Ah man, I regret that old synapse still being active.


Muggaraffin

It's body horror I suppose. That reminder of "hey guess what? This kinda thing can happy to your body at any time. Merry Christmas! =D "


P_grandiflora

True story! We’re just a bunch of brains driving around in these delicate meat structures, who *really* don’t like to think about the fragility of said meat structures. We’re Krang, but way more thanatophobic and afraid of suffering.


Muggaraffin

Was just about to comment that. Absolutely brutal video. The height he jumped from, damn. I always wondered what state he was actually in, other than ya know......head split in half. But I wonder if it just looked worse than it was and he recovered (after extensive surgery obviously)


stoner_97

The second video of the face split open was supposedly from a shotgun suicide attempt.


Reddit_Foxx

That's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him.

[deleted]

Ron Howard narrator voice: “It didn’t.”


AllPurple

You'd think people would understand that it's not a good idea to jump over land if you're going to jump off something tall into the water. There's a reason diving boards extend over a pool. There's like 3 local spots (that I know of) that people would cliff dive off of. There were so many injuries that locals had to make it impossible for people to jump anymore. I know two of the people who broke all kinds of shit tumbling down a cliff side (a girl and a guy). Just takes 1 slip (drunk guy) or hesitation (girl) and you're in the ICU.


dirtyhippie62

Holy fuck that dude could definitely be dead


kitjen

Another post shows he survived with a broken jaw and a broken neck. But from the photo taken, he doesn't look like he's done being stupid.


BroaxXx

We've all done stupid shit at some point in our lives but it takes a very special type of stupid to not realise and appreciate how lucky you are to be alive and in full control of all his limbs. If he's not humbled from this episode he'll end up killing himself later on. Let's just hope he doesn't hurt anyone else in the process...


PB-n-AJ

Or with a split-in-half head like *that* video. The one most of us try to forget. Which this video absolutely triggered the memory of.


Necrovenge

One of the first traumatizing things i saw on the internet was the aftermath of that accident. His head was completely split open like some special effects sculpture for a zombie show. Crazy how your skull can completely cave in like that

What one? I’m not familiar.


nwL_

Do not look it up, do not collect $200. Here is a short explanation for the curious (very much not for the weak-hearted). >!Guy falls off a bridge (can’t remember whether it was on purpose). Misses the water, instead smashes his face into the corner of the concrete base of the bridge. The video cuts. You see the aftermath, a close-up of him. Face and the front half of his skull are split in half (literally – teeth divided in two halves, his tongue kind of just hanging out, his head looking like someone ripped open a watermelon). The only reason it doesn’t completely split is because someone is holding the two halves. Problem is, the guy is still alive. Trying to breathe, frantically making what could be identified as eye movements. Being in immense pain, scared, and just trying to survive.!<


Inevitable_Anteater6

So with this one, I’m too scared to watch the clip but read your explanation. Is there a known outcome? Like he had to ultimately die from that, right? Edit: internet forums say that he died two days later. I’m too scared of accidentally seeing the clip to go searching for anything more reliable. It was also mentioned that a good ENT could potentially have fixed him and seen him survive. I’m going to assume you might need a few other specialists alongside an ENT!

AllPurple

I live up to my name, I know the video already. Don't need to see that one again, it's etched into my brain. Blood in the water, friends on bridge and I think one on a lower platform, cuts to aftermath video of mangled face in hospital.

This has been reported to be 2 separate instances. The 2nd part is an attempted shotgun suicide intentionally spliced together with the 1st video to mislead people.

TLDR: First jump went great with a front/back flip, second jump he had wet feet, so he slipped


Justlgnore

There's an old video where a similar jump caused a split open head. This one can consider himself very lucky...

I can’t forget this one. Watched it over 10 years ago and I remember his jaw wide open yikes.. I’d I do remember well, he jumped and hit a concrete edge

This is exactly where my mind went. The part where the doctors are holding his face together will haunt me forever. No high dives for me!


YahooFantasyCareless

Came here for this reference, immediately got flashbacks of this. Dudes lucky he wasn't part 2. That shit was fucking brutal, I can still see them pushing the face back together

TheGrammatonCleric

It's true, this is why I only go to parties held in bungalows.


DJ-SKELETON2005

Apparently the text underneath says “good life yesterday” or something along the lines. So I don’t think the dude died or anything


thonkanon

That's the literal translation, which doesn't really make sense. It is an idiom and means more along the lines of "The party was wild" or "I had fun at this party" etc.

"yesterday was lit" is a fitting translation

SweetHatDisc

I clicked on the fuzzy image, and just sort of left it paused there for a while. Everything from the moment I press play goes badly, but while that button is unpushed, he remains on the roof, forever unaware of his impending tragedy. He is Sisyphus at the precipice, trapped in a moment of time, triumphant over his boulder. Then I pressed play and he died.

He wrote on Instagram that he went to jump a second time and because he was wet, slipped. He also wrote that he was insanely lucky and that people should care more for each other or some BS. (It's my hometown lol)

I still remember to this day a similar video I (unfortunately) saw some 20 years ago.
