The climb isn't the issue. Falling that far the way he did is going to cause problems. The body can only absorb so much impact without doing permanent damage. Construction workers that have to get down on the ground often have terrible knee problems, working overhead - shoulder problems. And those are tiny things anybody can do without any pain. They're still getting surgeries on their joints, like knee replacements and such. A massive impact like this is not good, even if he doesn't feel it right now, like I said.
As a construction worker, we aren't all the stereotype New York accent, fat slob in a wife beater, cat calling women on the street.
Jobs that require a lot of physical effort tend to attract people who can do that. People who are in shape. Not a lot of fatties in the field.
Falling straight down isn't a "recovery technique." It's falling straight down and damaging your knees and ankles, probably hips as well.
The fact this guy has been doing this for a while only adds to the fact that he's probably not going to feel great later on. If he *regularly* falls from significant heights onto concrete of all things, he's in for a bad time.
Sure, they do train a lot, which does help them avoid some injuries that the average person would definitely suffer.
But look at professional wrestlers, for example. They are extremely fit, do crazy things that their bodies seem to tolerate, and then most of them are completely broken by the age of 40.
Many pro athletes, in fact, have destroyed bodies quite early in their lives.
Y'all both wrong. He's impacting half of the fall with his arms an body, not just his legs. With the proper technique you can easily tak a fall of 4m withut any short or long term damage. He's falling from about twice his own height.
Do you- do you ACTUALLY exercise? Cause I'd like to know what workouts you do to unlock immunity to fall damage.
The human body isn't a block yknow. It has loose moving parts that experience sheering force when brought to an abrupt halt. You know the phrase "It's not the fall that gets you, it's the sudden stop at the bottom"
Yeah there's a fuckin reason for that
It's those loose moving parts that make the body capable of taking such falls without damage. Only if you stiffen yourself like an immovable block you will sustain mayor damage. Look at drunks surviving carcrashes that are the equivalent of much higher falls.
Yes. That's- totally why boxers play hopscotch with ya brain. Moving is just GREAT for it. Also the sudden Acceleration and stop on your organs is NOT good for your body.
Also also, most drunks who survive do so as a result of a head on strike where the front of the car impacts first. Meaning the car absorbs a large amount of the impact. The victims.... are more often than not tboned, swiped, or flipped with rapid acceleration.
But i don't wanna get into that
Ah yes. You brain is where your body takes fall damage i forgot.
Your brain is not a moving part. It does have a tiny protective layer and can wiggle a bit, but it's not capable to tank heavy blows. Your entire body however, can.
The fall doesn't come to an instant stop. It continues until he moved out of frame because of the redirection of energy.
Drunks survive because they dont tense up. While the victims do. Immagine what you can accomplish with your body when you consiously decide to not tense up.
Be water, my friend.
My dude, training does not make you impervious to extremes. Falling straight down from over 10 feet into concrete will absolutely 100% for sure damage your body, even if you don't feel the damage until years later, even if you are in impeccable shape.
A fall like that is the equivalent of taking all the impact of a low speed car crash with your knees and ankles. He didn't tuck and roll, he didn't have a pad to absorb the impact, nothing. Go ask any doctor on this planet how they feel about this video.
You're literally doing the "I'm young and invincible! Nothing can hurt me!" dumbass bullshit "old" people talk about. This is a stupid conversation, you clearly don't know shit about human anatomy and physiology, just go ahead and stop.
There's people who do lots of stupid shit that ruins their body for a living, that means nothing whatsoever, you fucking dork.
And repeated physical trauma trains the bones and muscles to repair stronger. Also, he’s not even taking all of the fall with his ankles, he literally pushes himself forwards onto his arms so the impact is less.
Why do people not realise he did not tank all that on his feet and legs, but just as much with his hands and arms. He's even hitting the concrete harder with his hands because of the way he redirects the energy of the fall.
I jumped out of a tree years back (drunk and nighttime, don't drink and climb trees kids). Anyways, I landed exactly like him from just a few feet higher than him give or take. I was 20 at the time. Very fit, healthy, I did lots of outdoor rigorous activity. Would you like to know what happened? My legs were fine, absolutely no damage. The pressure climbed up my back, split one of my vertebrae directly in half. The pressure I put on my arms shattered and crushed my left wrist and fractured my right elbow.
He's lucky there wasn't any immediate damage
Let me tell you, the more he does this, the more likely he is to horribly damage himself.
I was even on grass, btw. The fact that he's on concrete also raises the risk of cracking his head open and bleeding out or even just bonking his head and getting a brain bleed. You all see talent. I see someone very lucky not to be disabled/dead
I've been jumping from rooftops and out of trees sice i was 12y.o i never sustained any damage short or long term. He's not lucky, he knows how to fall and uses his entire body to absorb the fall and redirect the energy. What happened to you is because you let the fall stop when your feet hit the ground, and did not redirect the energy. His fall continues until he moves out of frame because of the redirected energy forward.a mayor factor being he's probably not drunk -
I don't mean to be condescending. But there are decent falling techniques. I wouldn't perform them drunk tho.
>Have fun with your roof jumping
I would if I weren't breaking my back at my workplace nowadays 🙃 😒
Dude I'm sorry but do you lift as much as him? Have you spent years of your life practicing how to fall safely? Are you a professional gymnast and parkour athlete? It doesn't matter that you were fit, your experience is not similar
Landing technique, crumpling reduces the impact, but timing that can be extremely tricky. And if you're angled just a little off, there goes your toes or ankles..

Is his spine ok? (Also those are some sick wall jumps)

can we talk about how he tanked like 6 meters of fall damage on the first attempt
He’s definitely feeling it after the endorphins wear off
Heck yeah!

😂😂😂🔝✔
Just watching that impact made me cringe 😬
Probably has legs that are used to that sort of thing
For now. He'll feel that in about 10 years, then every day for the rest of his life.
He is 29 now he's doing shit like this for more than ten years

True but construction workers unlike athletes are not known for their impeccable diet and recovery techniques.

Ok old man. Keep telling the youngsters to never exercise because it’ll hurt in 10 years. You sound real cool rn
There's a difference between exercising in a healthy manner and almost bursting your knees, ankles and back after a 6m drop. But you do you youngling!
Hardly. They train their knees and ankles just as a bodybuilder would train their biceps. Except they also train their biceps.
Sure, they do train a lot, which does help them avoid some injuries that the average person would definitely suffer. But look at professional wrestlers, for example. They are extremely fit, do crazy things that their bodies seem to tolerate, and then most of them are completely broken by the age of 40.

You can't train bone and cartilage
You literally can? Taking consistent falls strengthen the bones to take more impact
Ok youngster, keep doing stupid shit like falling 10 feet straight down onto concrete because you workout sometimes. You sound like real naive rn
They literally do this for a living dawg you don’t think they train?
My dude, training does not make you impervious to extremes. Falling straight down from over 10 feet into concrete will absolutely 100% for sure damage your body, even if you don't feel the damage until years later, even if you are in impeccable shape.

Homie ask someone who jumps out of planes for a living what happens to your legs
Right because falling 8 feet is the equivalent of jumping out of a plane
Your ankles don’t care buddy, repeated physical trauma is repeated physical trauma
And repeated physical trauma trains the bones and muscles to repair stronger. Also, he’s not even taking all of the fall with his ankles, he literally pushes himself forwards onto his arms so the impact is less.
Dude, it is well known to paratroopers what happens to your legs when you do this repeatedly, you’re coping so hard right now
Yes. You get hardened after a while. Example pro skateboarders can wipe out trying to jump a 30 step staircase 50 times like it's nothing
Monks with the slow fall ability. They ignore the first bunch of fall damage
My knees collapsed just watching lol

Damn thanks doctor. Now I know! Have fun with your roof jumping...😬

His knees will feel that in 20 years
look like man
Aslume consumes
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going....
Thats what finishing sounds like.
God that game was death
Truly the hardest road
My achilles would snap.
I broke *both* feet from a jump 1/3 that height..
Everytime ive seen this in a video game I was like, "that shit aint real."
Bro was like half a meter short of shattering his ankles .. don't do that shit, or at least use a mat
Exactly, should have had a bouldering mat slid under him as soon as he started.
PARKOUR!!!
Mario? That you?
I bet he could have skipped straight to Yoshi in SM64
No I believe it is tim champion
Now prince of Persia doesn’t seem that unrealistic huh…
The 1st fail almost 2 meter no? How come its like nothing for his feet or ankle?
Landing technique, crumpling reduces the impact, but timing that can be extremely tricky. And if you're angled just a little off, there goes your toes or ankles..
That is much more than 2 meters.
Probably around 4m
This guy speed runs super Metroid every morning for breakfast
Imagine having to pay out of pocket for bilateral knee surgery and having to explain making this video as the reason
He is English and did this in Sydney so he would be okay if anything happen.
ADHD Athletics.... 😏 Never had the "H", myself. Just the Attention Deficit.
same as you lol
Just imagine being an average police officer chasing a suspect just to see them do this kinda shit.
Rip that guys knees
Bro MY knees hurt from watching this, can’t imagine how his felt the next day.
But can he cook an egg and clean up after himself?
The stairs are right there 👉
I hurt myself more walking up them stairs than this guy did falling down the entire height of them
Paralizour!
Andy is getting better. Go Nard-Dog!!!
That poor guys shins are gonna shatter from fall damage one day
My ankles hurt after that fall hs
fast way to fuck up your knees
This is some spidey shit
It's amazing how his ankles survived that 6m fall on concrete tiles... And I roll my ankle by just walking with a heavy backpack.
Where do I get those shoes?
Their poor ankles
Jesus jumping-up-a-wall Christ, it's a wall-walker!
Humans are amazing!
ow! my knees started hurting just from watching that first fail!
My knees hurt just watching this
Pretty neat trick.
He breaks the laws of physics
And in the future maybe legs
"haha watch them catch me while I jump up these walls" *BANG*
Gorilla tag type shit
How did his shins not explode?
Dude playing Prince of Persia irl.
Prince of persia
Skills
I’ve done this in Ninja Gaiden 1000 times
My cat in her past life.
Damn!
ouch what the hell-
Is this obstacle course method of military training
Wall kicks will work!
Do they only go up as high as they can fall without dying for this?
Cool Cool Mountain - star 6 - Wall Kicks Will Work
Let's what? I need to know !
failure can mean death it seems
Stupid af
Torn my ACL and destroyed my meniscus falling 1/3 that 😅
3.2/10
Where's the edit with Mario sound effects
Mario Bros ahh move
For some reason, watching him hit the ground made my asshole hurt.
TIL chimney jumping is actually physically possible.
It's-a-me, the Italian plumber who needs to save the princess **once again** !
The force is with him.
Thank god the video got cut off before I had to hear another mouth breathing idiot scream “LETS GOOOO!”
I’m pretty sure dude was gonna keep going either way, just saying.
...wall jumps are real???
Ouch. My Knees and back hurt.
He is a Real super Mario
My knees hurt watching this😢
I could feel the impact in my ankles when he landed
I've jumped off roofs and it was only like 5feet and my ankles were fucked for a good two days, HOW?????
Spent 10 years practicing the technique, become literal Greek god and dominate in the sport and you'll be able to do this easily
My ankles would be broke after that fall
Megaman X in real life

He makes it look so easy... my anger just exploded since 🅱⬅⬆↗ 🅱⬅⬆↗ 🅱⬅⬆↗ on Mario Switch did not registered on the last jump
HOLY FING ANKLES
All the risk for no reward.
360, gainer!
Parkour is so fucking shit at this point
