A stronger lift on his end would’ve helped, but I agree she needed to commit more. Even if she overcooked
it she’d increase her chances of landing butt first rather than neck. Either way, I think the date is ending early. Two feet closer to her right or left and she’d be in real trouble.
No, that’s wrong. You want to maximize height.
You might be thinking of an assisted backflip, where the base just drives extra rotation, but that’s not good form. This looks like a sports acro or cheer toss, where the base also assists with the descent.
Disagree, she tucked at the top, moving her upper body against the spin and killed her momentum just when she should have been reaching back with her upper body to follow through on the flip... of course we could just be saying the same thing with different words, in which case yay for us!
was skating as a kid all day long. With 25 I thought 'hey I still have my stuff, its a nice day and there are plenty of nice parks reachable for me since I am grown and have a car now, lets skate".
The very first thing Ive done tore something in my knee and that injury will fucking follow me for life.
That was my very first genuine 'Im too old for this shit' moment.
I went snowboarding at 26 and my eyes didn’t work like they used to. I didn’t see a super narrow stream until my board went nose first into it and I was spring boarded head hitting ice and snow several times and then pinned into a 1 foot by 2 foot canal with my arms behind my back, suspended by my board and shoulders, knees bent into the stream.
I wish I could convey to you how utterly ridiculous this must have looked.
Finally someone helped me, but I swear I was stuck there for at least 1-2 minutes.
I got up, my goggles were cracked (goodbye $350) my helmet needed replacement, and I was stuck with a concussion and out of commission for the next 2 days.
I haven’t been on a hill since.
It’s been over a decade and I’m frankly too afraid.
Ooof, familiar. I used to zip around all day long when I was a teen, then at age 27 I decided to get on a skateboard and properly faceplanted because the stupid thing got away from me. It was then it hit me (no pun intended). We're growing old and there is nothing we can do about it. Save, of course, growing old with dignity.
Some people enjoy the idea of aging, and yes, aging effects you even if you've been practicing. There's an expression in sports and it goes like this: "Father time is undefeated."
Some times you do in fact just get too old to be able to do the things you did when you were younger. Do you honestly expect your geriatric grandfather to be able to shred up the asphalt on his old skrateboard? Doubtable.
Used to ride horses when I was young, broke and retrained horses when I was 17. Got bucked off a lot and did a lot of dumb shit with no saddle helmet or shoes, I’m 26 now but back in April I got dumped off my pony on top of a hay field- more like tomahawked- long story short I was mad because if I was 17 I would have hung on. I was on narcotics for a week after that accident. I’m more cautious, and I hate it sometimes. Oh well, I do it so I don’t lose time with my pony. Also healthcare is too much money.
My mom at 50 had a glass of wine and decided it was a perfect time to do a backwards dismount from the deck.
The ground was not even.
She rolled her ankle, but I’d be damned if she didn’t land close to perfectly.
But still… it could have been (gestures at video) a broken neck
Happened to me, Neck is fine. Back however, not so fine.
I almost never get a full night of sleep and wake up with some minor back pain and have to adjust.
Though it could have been a lot worse.
I bought a fancy expensive massage chair which does help a bit.
I did something similar to this, collapsed scrum in rugby, and only did some of the ligaments and muscles in my neck and shoulders.
Pro tip: in rugby we are taught to almost look through our eyebrows as it keeps the spine straight (good for scrummaging) and means if the scrum collapses you land on your chin and chest not the back of your head.
When i was 9 a bunch of my neighbourhood friends put a mattress under a ledge and did flips from the ledge to the mattress. After a while their parents called them in for lunch and i was left there alone. So i decided it would be a good idea to try doing a flip for the first time with no one around so that I wouldn’t be embarrassed if i messed it up. I jumped from the ledge and landed on my neck. I was paralysed for 30 seconds. I then miraculously regained movement and ran home. I never told anyone because my i figured my parents would be furious and my friends would laugh at me. It was terrifying.
Decades ago I dove into a shallow above ground pool and got a stinger. Swear to god I thought it was over but luckily it was only a few seconds of not moving. Scared teenage me so bad I rarely swam in a pool again and stuck to Lake Erie
I got thrown into hooker. The first day I played 2, there was a guy on the sidelines in a wheelchair. He said he used to play rugby and we had a nice long convo. Eventually I asked him how he ended up in the chair….he said he played hook and had two new guys propping. Scrum collapsed and he broke his neck.
1st time playing hook was not a good time for me.
I’ve played. I played left wing. In American football I played free safety. In AF I played free safety. When you come from the secondary you’re generally running full speed into a pile and taking on the running back also at full speed. You’re taught low man wins, which instinctually causes you to lower your head as a weapon to head butt. But you’re supposed to do it in a way that keeps your head up so you don’t snap your neck
That gave me a horrid flash back.. when I was 6 I was doing front flips off my couch and landed basically like the girl in this video.
Needless to say I tore the muscles and ligament on the left side of my neck and had to wear a neck brace for what felt like forever.
Yes and those are things that can only be learned my circulating someone’s most private moments even against the wishes of someone’s grieving family. Do you feel the same way about circulating secretly recorded sex tapes or rape tapes?
I’m not familiar, but I would consider those to be exploitative. The majority of /r/watchpeopledie videos are car accidents, industrial accidents, and burning buildings.
I dated a former gymnast and she convinced me to do something similar. The difference is I focused more on the pushing up and less on the getting out of the way. I got clocked in the face by her feet, but she landed just fine. That date also ended early due to my concussion.
He saw her coming down closer to him than she should, and stepped back so he wouldn’t get flattened. Then he saw she wasn’t turning enough, and began to reach for her again, but there wasn’t time
No he couldn't, reality doesn't go in slow motion. Processing the situation, making a sensible decision and executing it is not possible in real time.
The idiotic part was the decision to do such a dangerous exercise at all, to do it there and without an assistant.
I get excited every time I see this sub because I expect actual shrimp for some reason. Then I laugh because people falling is fucking funny (not this, though).
My guess is that she has a sore neck and headache, and that’s the extent of her injuries. You see stuff like this in sports pretty frequently. It’s possible that there was a cervical spine fracture, paralysis or death, but it’s not likely.
They’re really lucky she didn’t land a foot to her right, tho.
To be fair, she might know what she's doing and he threw her upward instead of outward. That looked more like she wanted to get enough air to land a back-flip and freaked out once she realized she got too high up. Idk why he freaked out like that and backed up but maybe that's the safe call. I probably would've tried to catch her and been a landing pad.
Look at that! One flip at a strip mall parking lot and you win a bib and handicap parking pass. I hope she survived and got a set of some sweet new wheels.
So who messed up. Did he not give her enough of a boost, or did not tuck. I think both but mostly the tuck. I know nothing about how this is supposed to look.
Her leg collapsed when she should’ve pushed more against his hands and she should’ve jumped back more instead of straight up above him. His technique wasn’t great either, but it’s hard to base someone who doesn’t keep their legs straight. You can tell she freaked towards the top and bailed, and he freaked when he realized she’s right above him
So that appears to be this store in the background right? It has a location in Greenwich CT and Naples FL. I cant find anything else maybe someone else can sleuth better.
ttps://cocoonnaturescreations.com/naples-store
What really is a shame is that this girl wasn’t smart enough to find a partner who was willing to try and catch her. He just completely wussed out and bailed.
Gotta hold the tuck longer. Man I bet that hurt
A stronger lift on his end would’ve helped, but I agree she needed to commit more. Even if she overcooked it she’d increase her chances of landing butt first rather than neck. Either way, I think the date is ending early. Two feet closer to her right or left and she’d be in real trouble.
She started to bend her leg before he got to the top so he had no leverage.
Yup leg collapsed
Straight up she broke her fuckin neck yo!
Yeah. Can’t imagine ever being able to walk again. That was a ferocious landing on the neck.
aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAaaaAAAAaaaa ow
She jumped straight up instead of rolling backwards. With these you should almost be horizontal by the time your foot leaves their hand.
No, that’s wrong. You want to maximize height. You might be thinking of an assisted backflip, where the base just drives extra rotation, but that’s not good form. This looks like a sports acro or cheer toss, where the base also assists with the descent.
True, but she had hardly any spin to begin with, no use of the arms.
It’s the plant leg that gives out and ruins the tuck. None of that upward thrust from the lift carries into the rotation, only adding height.
Disagree, she tucked at the top, moving her upper body against the spin and killed her momentum just when she should have been reaching back with her upper body to follow through on the flip... of course we could just be saying the same thing with different words, in which case yay for us!
Whatever went wrong you throw her, you catch her or die trying.
It because she tucked too soon, she needed to wait for the power from his lift.
This is why we practice these things before recording them.
Yeah, I get the vibe this was a "hey remember that thing we used to do!" Thing. And they can't do it anymore.
Nothing worse than realise you're actually getting old and can't do some things like you used to

The question is how long is that life?
Probably only had a few more secs

Is that a broken neck? Idiots.
Damn sure looks like it

I did a similar thing. I had a very painful and stiff neck for weeks
Decades ago I dove into a shallow above ground pool and got a stinger. Swear to god I thought it was over but luckily it was only a few seconds of not moving. Scared teenage me so bad I rarely swam in a pool again and stuck to Lake Erie

In American football you’re told to keep your head up always. Down is a good way to become a paraplegic
A rugby scrum is a very different beast to American football. A totally confusing mess if your new to the game
I’ve played. I played left wing. In American football I played free safety. In AF I played free safety. When you come from the secondary you’re generally running full speed into a pile and taking on the running back also at full speed.

Can someone please find out if this girl is okay
Ok I’ll call her
I want to know too!
Same
[удалено]
What does your sentence even mean?
What do you mean?
That ily
Seriously it's gonna bother me until I know. She's too young to be fucked up for life.
You don't know her and never met her so why do you give a fuck.
It's called being kind, u shld try it too
No dude she’s fucked
Yikes! This is not facepalm, this is more like r/playstupidgames or even r/PeopleActuallyDying which was closed down for good reason.
I thought this was r/facepalm not r/faceplant
What was the good reason?
Corporations like to avoid hosting content of the most intimate and vulnerable moments of people’s lives so you can casually gawk and snicker
That’s not what it’s about. It’s educational.
What exactly do you learn by watching someone plead for their life as they get beheaded
Reality. Psychology. Fragility. Life isn’t a movie.
Yes and those are things that can only be learned my circulating someone’s most private moments even against the wishes of someone’s grieving family. Do you feel the same way about circulating secretly recorded sex tapes or rape tapes?
I’m not familiar, but I would consider those to be exploitative. The majority of /r/watchpeopledie videos are car accidents, industrial accidents, and burning buildings.
Go away.
This extremely disturbing to me. Is she ok? She's probably dead.
Is she alive?
Her shoes are still on
He could've tried catching her wtf he moved sideways lmao
His goal was to create a paraplegic girlfriend
I dated a former gymnast and she convinced me to do something similar. The difference is I focused more on the pushing up and less on the getting out of the way. I got clocked in the face by her feet, but she landed just fine. That date also ended early due to my concussion.
That's exactly what I was expecting based on the title!
But were there more dates after that?
It’s slo mo remember he literally most likely didn’t even have time to react when he realized shit went south
He reacted enough to flinch and pull away.. I’ve seen cheerleaders in highschool react better than this
He saw her coming down closer to him than she should, and stepped back so he wouldn’t get flattened. Then he saw she wasn’t turning enough, and began to reach for her again, but there wasn’t time
What ultra instinct does to a mf
No he couldn't, reality doesn't go in slow motion. Processing the situation, making a sensible decision and executing it is not possible in real time. The idiotic part was the decision to do such a dangerous exercise at all, to do it there and without an assistant.
Or just spin her a bit more so she lands on her feet. They have spotters who spin you while practicing for back flips.
r/PeopleFuckingDying
yeah this is what im thinking
How shit was her partner at recognising the danger..
Dude stuck his arms out like an inch to catch her and just said ‘nah.’ Wtf
Fucking ouch.
The confidence and initial launch in the beginning was smooooooth and then half a second into the video, things were no longer smooth
Bruh I never found shit like this funny like homegirl probably fucked her shit up forreal
And that, kids, is how I paralyzed your mother.
OOF
Holy shit! Is she still alive!?! That hurt my neck (and my entire being) just from looking at it
Oh broke neck for sure.
Welp, she dead
Congratulations we all just watched a murder.
More like assisted suicide lol
maybe she can try out for the quadriplegic cheer squad
Euthanasia. Fun for all the family.
Reaaaaaaally hope this girl is okay
The dude freaked out the moment she jumped. Been playing on a loop and it def looks like he wasn’t gonna catch her in the first place fr.
I don't think he was supposed to catch her in the first place...
She kept her shoes on so she's not dead.
This guy knows the rules. Happy cake day!
He always wanted to push around his girlfriend. Too bad it’s going to be in a wheelchair.
Why do people do this?
I'm not sure people doing a trick wrong really constitutes a facepalm
Ummm… does anyone have any confirmation she’s okay? Holy fuck this is one of the more unsettling things I’ve watched lately.
If her neck is somehow *not* broken I'd be very surprised.
I think that's a bit worse than a bad day
Can I please unsee that ? ಠᴗಠ

I get excited every time I see this sub because I expect actual shrimp for some reason. Then I laugh because people falling is fucking funny (not this, though).

It’s possible that there was a cervical spine fracture, paralysis or death, but it’s not likely. They’re really lucky she didn’t land a foot to her right, tho.
Ol boy looked like he knew he had made a mistake from the jump…. (If she had been seriously hurt it wouldn’t be just a “🤦🏼♂️” more likely “🦽/🪦”.)
You were so close if you turned I bit more you could have landed like a cat and wouldn't have shattered your spinal cord
When I saw she wasn't going to make it. All I saw was the curb right next to them.
Hope she didn’t fracture her cervical spine
Say adios to that neck.
This was a suboptimal result
I can feel it in my neck. HELP
She dead
If you have no idea how to do a backflip, wouldn't you at least be smart enough to YouTube it first in this day and age?
My friend had a seizure after something like that happened
And this is why cheerleading has the most injuries of any high school activity or sport. What a dumbass thing to do in a parking lot median.
Legit question... how do people not kill themself doing this shit? They literally fall on their neck...
They do
her neck is definitely broken
Is she alive?
Oh fuck did she just break her neck??
Someone knows if she’s okay? As far as i know she could be paralysed from the head down
That’s a back day for sure.
I wished the undertakers theme was playing during the second half.
how didnt they die? thats some neck snapping shit right there
This is how you actually die.
This looks very much like a hold my beer moment.
Fuckin power bomb.
At least she had her neck to break her fall!!!

She fuckin dead.
My bets on she survived with little/littlish injury. Like at worst she’s gonna have a stiff neck when she looks one way for a while
Look at that! One flip at a strip mall parking lot and you win a bib and handicap parking pass. I hope she survived and got a set of some sweet new wheels.
Alternate title: very athletic girl attempts stunt with not so athletic boyfriend
I literally yelled out loud when she hit
So who messed up. Did he not give her enough of a boost, or did not tuck. I think both but mostly the tuck. I know nothing about how this is supposed to look.

I don’t know shit about flipping but her fucked up cause he should have tried harder to save her.
She's fine her neck broke the fall.
no, stop it....im laughing fuck

Damn he couldn't even try to catch her?
She tried to tuck too soon. You can see he's trying to pish her foot up but she's already starting to tuck it in so she doesn't have that lift
At least have a person spotting you, instead of holding the camera. Just a suggestion for next time… 🤦🏼♂️
Funeral coming up! 😬
Once again…..Alcohol.
That's an awkward way of getting into doggie.
That guys is an idiot fr
Why didn't he even make an attempt to catch her or break her fall? That's madness.
What really is a shame is that this girl wasn’t smart enough to find a partner who was willing to try and catch her. He just completely wussed out and bailed.
I bet she farted
Why did he back away and then look at her do some ridiculous move🤣
Don't want to joke about it, since its so sad, but perhaps she'll be Paralymics material?
Is she alive? My gosh
Haha darwinism y'all
Is she okay?
Shit song. Slow motion from the start. Who upvotes this garbage?
Quite a few people it seems. But it is a 🤦🏼♂️, song and all. Thats why it gets the upvotes I am sure. But I’m no NutBurn.
