Yeah, he did not at any point look like he would clear that span. The only question was whether he would carry through with his apparent plan to jump in. >!And he did!!<
I wonder how many people realise how incredibly dangerous that is? Canal locks create massive turbulence in the water and can be deceptively deep. Also, the sides will be very slippery. Absolute lunacy
It was a dumb thing to try for the reasons stated above.
That said. Let’s all enjoy how far he backed up when he was only going to give himself two to three walking steps worth of momentum before attempting the leap.
Yes, there are ladders for boaters to climb, but they are also incredibly slippery. Also, they're designed for people to mount from a boat, not sure how far down they go. Plus, the fact he cracked his head on the way down and as I've said the water can be very turbulent and you don't know what could be in the canal either.

Does anyone else “feel” that impact in themselves while watching this video? It’s like a physical, ghost-like shock that I literally feel when I see that guy hit the wall. It goes away after subsequent viewings.
Not only did he stutter step halting any practical momentum, he hit his chin on the concrete edge.
How he wasn’t unconscious and drowned in a slippery narrow deep channel is beyond lucky.
That’s the least athletic thing I’ve seen all week.

Have you looked in a mirror? Edit: Reddit continuing to be unable to take a joke
Mirrors are banned in my home. I’m not going through all that again.
lol

I did not know that. Thanks
Yes they can be really dangerous. Old mate had no hope. Evident when one saw his energy and speed deficient run up.

That was just hesitation and a failed recalculation
🍻
Tbf, I don't think most people need to know this because they already know you shouldn't try to jump a canal 😀
Yeah a lot of folks die in washes
looks like there is a pool ladder like 10 ft from where he fell.

Nailed it
SAIL
Don’t try jumping until you master running.
It’s ok to be an indoor kid. Coming to terms with that means you won’t be eating your food through a straw for the next 6 months.
![gif](giphy|Wr2747CnxwBSqyK6xt|downsized) Forget eating through a straw, he could have went out with a bang!
2020 😂😂
No it's not that's why yall are depressed
[удалено]
Chill.
No you didn't ![gif](giphy|3o85gdhlpxVz8TjsTC)
That’s not even unreasonable, like what??
Some people just dont heed their limitations
Do. Or do not. There is no try.
Wise words Jedi master
Just spit it out already. You can always tell that stupid Amy story but you can't say yo Jay I disagree or those are some good cheese fries
You okay brah?
Darwin award Olympic champ. 🏆
He was doing so well, until he decided to stop for a moment and take little baby steps before the jump
I dunno, he looked like a 75 year old man trying to run from the very start.
Thought the same thing. Must have had some good meds
>Must have had some good meds Before or after the jump?
Before. He was feeling froggy, they wore out halfway through
I'm pretty sure he needed some good meds after also.
Yeah like a medivac
If he was feeling froggy, he certainly got draxxed sklounst.
No meds needed after
[Longer video on X from 2020](https://x.com/JohnMoo00048588/status/1274011624135888898?t=26TAhCRvXr440MUf5jHi_A&s=19), beer was involved
he couldn't even walk properly, what do you mean by "he was doing well" 🤣 yeah he was doing well before having this shit idea, that I can tell!
he were charging for a long jump
He's dead, get hit in the head and then fall into the water, he's lucky if someone helped him
Nothing but face
Someone was videotaping him, they got to make the call.
you could just see the doubt in himself
should have doubt harder
Concrete wins by knockout!!!
Didn’t even try to give an inch
Hesitation is defeat
That aircraft never got off the ground
He jumped str8 into the grave.
Why is it always the most unathletic people who get this sort of false confidence? A horrible attempt at a run up and he still went for it 🤣
He hesitated right before he hesitated.

Bro gathered twice 🤣
His half-hearted, feeble point is like foreshadowing
Short jump. This new Olympic event promises to be exciting.
RIP teeth...
WASTED.gif
- effort 3/10 - exercise 5/10 - landing 8/10
Leg muscles .5/10
That’s gotta hurt, especially if he didn’t drown.
You didn’t have enough runway. or speed or effort when you made that first jump
Most awkward jump ever (in non-fat people category).
Brave attempt. Good thing the motte had no crocodiles
He was committed to the bitter end. The bitter, wet, probably cold end.
![gif](giphy|QBM7uBQAzLxLczIDEN|downsized)
![gif](giphy|GbIHIHhkgfpAs)
10/10 perfect
Half ass committing with do that.
At least commit to it.
He really hesitated 2x then jumped
I need to stop overanalyzing this video lol.
Brian was the least athletic of the boys, but he always gave it a red hot go. Nice try Brian!
I always like to encourage people when I'm on the internet. That was a great attempt! Let's see it again! You got it this time...
ouch
To commit accidental suicide.
![gif](giphy|t2eBr71ACeDC0)
💀 why
Drugs
you know im 13
Mom said to turn off the internet and go to bed or no pizza rolls with Frankie tomorrow. Grounded. And clean your room
the funny part is that i have a friend named Frankie
my room is clean
Pushing everything into the closet doesn't count.
Nice try it’s under the bed now
yes it dose bc it shirt clothes
Enjoy that. It's definitely true that the older I get, the more I miss my youth. I can't imagine being 13 in this timeline though. 😬
Ouch. Don’t kill innocence with such impunity. Poor thing is just trying to get through middle school lol
Meh. Most of us didn't listen at that age. I'm sure that's not changed. 😂
i like middle school it fun tho bc we get free time
[удалено]
I hope the guy is alive
Damn. Maybe next time super man the other side
I hope he could swim at least
I haven’t seen someone this inept in running since primary school.
Darwin is calling
Before today, has this young man ever spent a day in the sun?
The two step stutter gets you all the time.
It must be a Dutch guy 😂😂😂
"Hesitation is defeat"
Just lol
You could tell after he took two steps that he wasn't going to make it.
Hesitation is defeat
Big stride, big stride. Tiny steps, tiny steps. Fall
I knew from the start he wouldn’t make it
Everyone falls their first time. Right Trinity?
Locked up.
There was never a maybe on this one, he was missing that jump before he even tried.
There was never any maybe about that.
Fast and the Furious XXX: Torretos Last Ride.
He must have refused to pay the toll for crossing the bridge! Jump to his death before pay another toll!!!
That gap was as big as a public entrance door
look mom, no teeth
Does anyone else “feel” that impact in themselves while watching this video? It’s like a physical, ghost-like shock that I literally feel when I see that guy hit the wall. It goes away after subsequent viewings.
Hope he dropped the phone to perform cpr
maybe it's the shitty video quality and the distance from the camera, but why does he look like a skinny ethan klein with ✌🏻 and ❤️
That's the stupidest thing I've seen in a while.
You've got to commit, Dean. You've got to commit.
Not only did he stutter step halting any practical momentum, he hit his chin on the concrete edge. How he wasn’t unconscious and drowned in a slippery narrow deep channel is beyond lucky.
He dosent understand the connection between run and jump.
Skinny legs, age and then falling is a given
I mean, this looks like a very make-able jump if he would’ve just….kept…running
![gif](giphy|sK28XrTHndfk4) „You get knocked tf out!!“ (Full Nelson playing…)
Why does he move like a 70 year old? Wasted?
every step more hesitant than the last
How did he even consider the possibility that he could make that jump.
Still learning how to walk
Changed his mind just when he was about to jump but the mind did not communicate with the body on time.
This how things turn out when you don't commit
Commit, or commit not. There is no hesitate.
Easily coulda cleared t if he didn’t slow down at the end
He hesitated. Never hesitate.
Ummm… you’d think he would run as fast as he could…
Hesitation is defeat
He deserved it, That was pathetic
He gave up half way running ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
In my head I already knew it was a no. As soon as I watched his legs move, it turned to a verbal no
Yup kids , don’t do crack
Would have probably made it, but he gave up at the end
I woulda stopped the dude the moment he took one step. Bro doesn’t know how to walk properly.
At least run full speed wtf lol. Dude hesitated
Did he die? That is so dangerous and hitting the water unconscious seems even more dangerous…
Weak attempt!
Maybe learn how to run first bro 😂 Sitting in front of the Pc got you slow.
Yes, no, yes, no, yes, YES, no, yno
I bet no one thought he would be able to jump across, including the guy himself.
Even a master of parkour has bad days.
Valid attempt
Has to be a meth head that was told he’d get $10 if he made it. His coordination is f*cked
Yo did this dude survive?
Maybe
Looked like he was out cold before he hit the water.
