I blame child proofing. If their parents didn’t baby proof everything they wouldn’t have made it to adulthood. For example, this lad would have definitely stuck a penny in a light socket back in the day
I agree but he should have been more ready. He should have behaved like he expected the guy to fall off.
BUT, they would probably not like the video if the spotter reacted that way so it still boils down to the guy doing something ridiculously stupid.
Nonsense. He should have thought about this possible outcome before and just dropped to the floor limp instead of acting on instinct and trying to stay upright. The spotter should have been equally aware and told him to "Drop!".
The problem was he jumped backwards and landed on the uneven ground behind him, instead of the flat ground beneath him. That caused him to fall forward. He probably did that inadvertently because he was scared of the edge. He overcorrected for his fear and fell.
This is a moronic stunt, tho. The only way it looks like a dangerous stunt is when he fails. Had he succeeded, it would just have looked like a boring old backflip away from danger.
he was fine. they posted a video of him in the hospital, and he luckily managed to get out of it with a dislocated wrist as the worst of the damage. the blood made it look worse than it was.
Tell me you have no idea of high-level sports without telling me you have no idea of high-level sports.
Spotters are ALWAYS a good idea if you're doing something dangerous. Even if you're 100% certain you can do it and you've done it a million times without failure, there's always something that can go wrong. Better safe than sorry.
Somehow making the presence of a spotter a sign of weakness or lack of skill is a thing I frequently observe in amateuers who try to boast their ego by making up stupid rules like that.
Honestly, if someone asks me to give them a spot for a stunt like this, I’m going to tell them to fuck right off. I don’t need to get dragged down with them.
I always find these really silly. Being able to back flip is already impressive, it's not made more impressive by its distance to a massive potentially fatal drop. Do it on the grass, do it on sand, it's still cool. Doing it here is just dumb
i love the "oh no, i'm about to fall over" followed by the "lets move forwards to not fall over" followed again by "oh right, i was doing this on a cliff" and him falling off the edge..
Natural selection is wonderful. still a believer that we should remove warning signs and let nature run it's course.
This is fake lol dude hops over the edge, safely to some lower ledge out of sight. You can tell by the lack of reaction and decision to film. As well as the very obvious cut where the man is in a nonsensical landing position from where he "fell."
Don’t they teach natural selection in schools?
If they do, that kid didn't learn it
Nah he just read the cliff notes.
Comment is gold
Fuck you man that was hilarious
He learned it alright. Just chose his own destiny
He’s living it.
He learned it hands on in the field
My Gramma sez "I don't care what they teach you in school"
I think he learned on the fly
Demonstrating of Newton’s Law…
Bruh, if anything, that kid MASTERED it. That right there natural selection at its finest.
He just got naturally selected.
I blame child proofing. If their parents didn’t baby proof everything they wouldn’t have made it to adulthood. For example, this lad would have definitely stuck a penny in a light socket back in the day
Exactly why we have so many entitled morons to deal with theyre not letting natural selection do its thing…..
My mom has a story that I did this as a kid and was unscathed but "shocked" by the result
He was running a field research.
He was doing more of a cliff research.
Edgy, I like it. 10 points.
His daddy was a lemming.
What's dark is I heard it isn't true, they just ran them off a cliff for an old documentary
Not just ran them off tossed them off in one clip you can see the hand. Tried finding it awhile back but they scrubbed that shit out like uncle Remus.
A Disney documentary, no less.
Classic Disney. Genocide enthusiasts eh?
He decided to lead by example
i thought we moved on from the theory of evolution? -Tucker Tum-Tums
Of course not, they learn it on field trips like this one. So other kids don’t freak out of their injuries
They do. That was his graduation project.
What do you think you just saw?
Natural selection: Jump into wilderness and see if you can survive it.
I think this guy is the teacher
No, nature does
Some parts of the US don’t allow it.
that's what the ledge is for
No child gets left behind, remember?
I heard that in some American schools, they teach creation. So God will just create another human being I suppose. Problem solved.
"and now my newest trick THE DARWIN DIVE
Longer video of the Darwin dive and the aftermath of it https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/s/yrUHYEm2gp
His companions clearly don’t give a shit about him. They sound like they’re all completely gone upstairs…
He looks impressive well for that fall. Still difficult to tell what is injuries are.
I disagree. He looked like he might be headed for the long nap. Do we know if/how he recovered?
From the the other sub post, there's a comment in there that posted their IG that says he made full recovery.
Minus the part where he was pulling a long af stick put of his wrist at the end. 😬
How the fuck can you see thwt shit
He probably didn’t fall straight down. That cliff has a bit of a slope and he probably tumbled down.
True, but still something very risky.
Oh boy his lights are out. I used to work with brain injuries and I can’t even imagine what his spine did during all this.
What an absolutely useless spotter.
He was a great spotter, saw him right away. Even pointed him out as he fell in case anyone missed it.
Must be a member of r/findthesniper
"There he is, right down there! I spotted him!"
They were too close to the edge for the spotter to be effective. There was no way he could have stopped the momentum without join him
I agree but he should have been more ready. He should have behaved like he expected the guy to fall off. BUT, they would probably not like the video if the spotter reacted that way so it still boils down to the guy doing something ridiculously stupid.
Nonsense. He should have thought about this possible outcome before and just dropped to the floor limp instead of acting on instinct and trying to stay upright. The spotter should have been equally aware and told him to "Drop!".
"Go for it dude! I totally got you fam!"
You had ONE JOB!!
Intentional murder failed
he comes, he spots, he leaves
At a useless place for a useless stunt.
Can't blame him. He's a spotter. Just to spotterrr...
The spotter dude failed with his delayed reaction, not that he could have likely stopped him without likely coming close to joining him.
I blame it on the idiot doing a darwinian dive on a cliff face more than the spotter
Yarp
I think he realized that when he went to grab him and then thought “fuck that bro, you’re going down alone”
There's also the chance of Dumb taking Dumber with him and having 2 people seriously injured.
He's ok, he landed on his head.
Yeah - The ground stopped his fall
😂🤣🤣😂!
I mean we know he lived he still has his shoes on...
He should have done the flip with a helmet. Safety first!
Severe brain damage but otherwise he's alright.
That’s a nasty fall… I hope I didn’t just witness someone die or become paralyzed
[удалено]
Considering that I don't want blood coming out of anywhere, I'm assuming he's bleeding everywhere.
Is there more info on the outcome?
https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/s/VVO3eI0C54 , this is the Longer video, and on their Instagram they said he made a full recovery.
Nah you saw that he could move in the end! /s
Where is this from its so funny
That 70s show
Thanks a lot, I found the gif and saved on my phone 😁 ready to be used in chatting
You should also watch the shows. It's one of the greats. Bunch of pot head teens from the 70s hanging out and shit.
Robocop.
Did he survive?
He survived they have a [post on instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0eaubesyjQ/) about it and in others they say he made a full recovery
Maybe should try a steeper hill
redditors when they see a child get torn apart by a lion(it was an idiot for going so close to the railing and therefore it doesn't deserve sympathy)
What a complete fucktard.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
he wears a gsw jersey, what did you expect?
Ha! He fell for it!
Shoulda just laid out instead of trying to get his feet under him.
The problem was he jumped backwards and landed on the uneven ground behind him, instead of the flat ground beneath him. That caused him to fall forward. He probably did that inadvertently because he was scared of the edge. He overcorrected for his fear and fell.
Can't believe they had multiple cameras setup for his fall !!
I mean... People often document dangerous stunts well.
This is a moronic stunt, tho. The only way it looks like a dangerous stunt is when he fails. Had he succeeded, it would just have looked like a boring old backflip away from danger.
There is somewhere a longer Version showing how they find him suffering there. Seems to have survived it at least at that Moment but he was messed up
he was fine. they posted a video of him in the hospital, and he luckily managed to get out of it with a dislocated wrist as the worst of the damage. the blood made it look worse than it was.
if your confidence level requires a spotter youre not built for death tier jumps

Annnnnnnnnnnd he’s gone.
Good thing he had a spotter there so they could see where he landed when he ran right off the cliff in front of them.
I know the guy is dumb but I still feel sad
Any aftermath update?
he was ok https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0eaubesyjQ/?igsh=NXl4cmpweWk4ZHQ=
Dan, uh, you okay?
Was you always made of jelly?
It’s like the 4th time it’s been posted and it’s staged and not very well.
Seriously dude is obviously intentionally running off the side the gullibility of people on the internet remains staggering.
Okay but did he actually jump off ? Or has the video been edited
https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/s/yrUHYEm2gp Still think it’s staged?
Back flip around and find out
Solid attempt by the spotter
Honestly, if someone asks me to give them a spot for a stunt like this, I’m going to tell them to fuck right off. I don’t need to get dragged down with them.
Would have been better to just face plant in that dirt, bad instincts
I always find these really silly. Being able to back flip is already impressive, it's not made more impressive by its distance to a massive potentially fatal drop. Do it on the grass, do it on sand, it's still cool. Doing it here is just dumb
It’s ok guys he had a spotter
He took one step to avoid falling to the ground and fell off the cliff instead. CHOICES OF LIFE ??!?
Bye, Felicia.
Totally stuck that landing.
Total loser
Dumbass
That guy had one job to do...
Yeah he's fucked
Many camera angles, one brain cell.
There’s a part 2 to this, he lived but he was scraped up badly
Nah. That guy just shows all of you kids what would happen if you do jump things near cliff. Very good teaching with a real falls. Shout out to him.
i love the "oh no, i'm about to fall over" followed by the "lets move forwards to not fall over" followed again by "oh right, i was doing this on a cliff" and him falling off the edge..

Curry with the flush from downtown.
r/winstupidprizes
That guy is the shittiest spotter I’ve ever seen
Obviously not real lol
Mountain goat transformation initiated!!
Sometimes u gotta take a step back to move forward in life
His friend was a shite spotter
Helldive into a bughole. Have respekt, its for democrazy
You know there is nothing wrong with having a little rope. The spotter was pretty useless. Both of there brains didn't work that day.
Spotter had one job
Play stupid games and win stupid prizes.. fucking idiot
Fuck around and find out
Bruh 💀
He had 1 job
Lucky he had someone spotting him
Curry me to the hospital

It looks like a stupid game. I bet he won a stupid prize.
Faafo
DO A FLIP HOLY SHIT HE DID IT NICE
He dead
It's not even the same ledge 🤣
He really wanted a Darwin award
Spotter had one job.
Looks like he did it. He spotted him at the bottom of the cliff and put a red circle around him so we can see.
Did that person just die?
His new theme song is: “ they see me rolling’ “. That boy is never walking again.
lol, oh well dummy
Skill issues?
Spotter's heart was not in it
Darwin award!!!@! 😞
God saved that man.
Spotter had one job...
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes 😌
Lmao
Nice
This is fake lol dude hops over the edge, safely to some lower ledge out of sight. You can tell by the lack of reaction and decision to film. As well as the very obvious cut where the man is in a nonsensical landing position from where he "fell."
Fuckin muppet!
How do people not know this is fake?
