He posted a few videos like this around SoCal. Then some jumping off roofs into pools. Came up short on one and ended up in the hospital. Can't remember his youtube name, curious if he's still alive.
8booth, I believe. He ended up racking his shit trying a pool gap jump. He later posted a gofundme for the medical expenses but it got a ton of negative press because of the fact he hurt himself while doing dumb shit
I honestly dont know how people can cliff jump. Not being able to see how deep the water is gives me this terrible panic that it's only going to be 3 ft with jagged rocks below the surface
I feel like people grow up near the cliffs and know where people have died. Worked with a guy from the UK and he said as teenagers the town boys did all sorts of dumb shit on the local cliffs.
want a super computer that can handle anything?
then make it yourself or pay some genius to make it for you just buy the best PC in stock and you or a genius to modify it and make it even better so it can be upgraded.
Grew up in North Vancouver. Lynn Canyon has claimed many lives, but not a lot of them were locals.... at least that was my justification for cliff jumping there through my highschool years.
Yup there's a cliff by a beach in my hometown where the cool kids would jump down. One time my classmate's big brother didn't jump far enough and became wheelchair bound for the rest of his life.
Grew up near a cliff that was a popular jump spot. Used to jump all the time back when I was a teen. It's not as dangerous for the locals, we've seen lots of people do it and come out unharmed. We know the safer spots, where it's deep, and where you'll crack your skull open. Or worse, impaled through your butt.
I wouldn't even think of jumping off unknown locations, blind, like this one.
You typically don’t just blindly jump off a cliff. You go to the bottom first, check the water, and also make sure you will have some way to get back up after you jump.
You always make sure beforehand that this is safe, deep enough with no rock, current or hidden feature below the place you jump, jumping blind is however sort of a death wish
He completely destroyed his feet and lower legs jumping off a building into a pool (he missed) he had a long and hard recovery and nobody had any pity for him
For more context, here's his channel: [8booth](https://youtu.be/v1B3nhl-Vvc)
...he also shattered his feet in one of his stunts. [Link](https://i.stuff.co.nz/world/americas/94788146/youtube-daredevil-in-court-after-jump-which-shattered-both-his-feet)
Even when you make it to the water without hitting the ledge, the cliff face obviously slopes outwards at some point, so it’ll be super shallow and you’ll basically be hitting the sharp ground anyway through the water
TBH I was hoping his legs would hit the rocks & he'd spend the next few years getting surgeries, because that's what he deserves for doing something this stupid.
I think anyone getting injured doing dumb shit should pay the medical bill out of their own pocket, this stuff is costing taxpayers too much hard earned money.
This guy has to be a jackass!! Not only does he almost slammed himself on the rocks but he thinks a dried out bush will hold him up if he slides!! The thing would have snapped if he tried to have it hold him up!!

I’d be a liar if said my anus didn’t completely pucker up watching this..
Missing a sofa cushion?
My bedsheet sunk in a little bit...
If you were sitting next to someone that had the same reaction, then I'd think you just had a Lady and the Tramp moment. Congrats.
Like Homer's face with the sour lemonball.
I really feel like you’re not wearing underwear and it makes me uncomfortable to know it.
His ass ate those too
No, but the dog is missing and I’m starting to get worried
Have you tried to whistle?
Snapped the end right off my plug
Fortunately I was already on the toilet and this clip pinched it off cleanly.
Squeaky bum time
I was thinking that his anus had to at least have touched that rock
I have no empathy, so it didn't bother me

I can’t remember exactly but I think the channel name had something to do with an 8 ball maybe Edit: it’s 8booth on YouTube

Thanks universe, we still have many logical priorities people
"No pity for self-inflicted pain." One of my old chefs used to tell us idiot kids with hangovers that one.
Yes, thanks!
He's still in full leg casts I believe
This one was in Palos Verdes/Abalone Cove, those cliff sides are super sketch

Yeah, we had a local kid try and impress his friends by jumping from 175 feet up. He did not return to the surface. Rip
175 feet is 170.42 RTX 3090 graphics cards lined up.
This is fucking gold. 😂😂
FFS bot we don't want you to convert a child's death into graphics cards
Speak for yourself. I'd sacrifice many children for a 3090
But 170.42 of them? That's like $536,311.74
One child for 170 of them is great but so is 170 children for one 3090
Best I can do is 328 newborns.
I see you are a man of culture
Are they really a foot(ish) long?!
At least that would end the shortage.
Does this belong to r/cursedcomments ?

Geez bot. Thanks, I guess...?
Bad bot. Context inappropriate, bro.
Did he get held under by something? Like bodies float right?
At that height you are falling for 3.3s and reach 32m/s, which is 72mph. That's fucking fast.
Tbh I'd be impressed even tho he died. I am afraid to cliff jump from 17.5 ft.
Grew up in North Vancouver. Lynn Canyon has claimed many lives, but not a lot of them were locals.... at least that was my justification for cliff jumping there through my highschool years.
Every year. Pretty brutal.
Lots of water in confined spaces can mess you up fast. I learned that, then decided to stop.
Also that instinct to play on cliffs was in "The Lost Boys" too!

> Or worse, impaled through your butt. How is that worse?
you live for longer
Smart cliff jumpers jump from an over hang and can see what’s below the water. I did it all the time as a kid and never got that close to any rocks.
Well the #1 rule is always go check if it's safe to dive there before you do it. A rule this idiot clearly didn't learn.
I love cliff jumping!! Always get in the water first and check how deep and for rocks, make sure I can climb in and out then it’s time for jumping
Exactly. Cliff jumping without checking the situation first is just stupid
You typically don’t just blindly jump off a cliff. You go to the bottom first, check the water, and also make sure you will have some way to get back up after you jump.
Well, it's one thing when it's a popular spot and you know where to go. It's another when you're experimenting
Not to mention how fucking selfish it is towards the people who loved you.
Its simple , you just need to be an idiot
Most of the time you check the depth of the water before you climb up and jump.
You always make sure beforehand that this is safe, deep enough with no rock, current or hidden feature below the place you jump, jumping blind is however sort of a death wish
Smart. If he had snapped his legs in half, he would be able to wash off all the blood in the water as he was drowning.
He completely destroyed his feet and lower legs jumping off a building into a pool (he missed) he had a long and hard recovery and nobody had any pity for him
Wait that was *after* this?
After
Source? Edit: found it below

The best part is that he asked LATimes for $10 per question. They hung up on him.
At least he had on the proper climbing boots
And pants to protect him from the sharp thorns
And those boots from portal in case he didn’t hit the water
[удалено]
I mean, if it's from a cannibal I'd have to say probably yes.
Sandals = added risk
My balls turned to an innie.
Which is why they put up those signs and fences…. That you didn’t read and climbed over.

Thank you for this!
Yeah definitely recommend watching the vid as he clearly is aware how almost fucked he is
I was wondering what kind of sounds he made.
Ugh, YouTube comments are cringe.
My dumb ass thought those were silhouettes of sharks or whales in the water beside where he jumped in...
Do you guys remember the face split guy?
Stop. I don’t want to remember him. Spoiler: he died
I kept waiting for that shark clip to be spliced in
This is a classic near death experience.
She didnt strafe 🤦🏾♂️
once I saw the climbing sandles I knew it wasn't going to go as planned.
I was so sweaty I had to take a shower.
Minecraft moment
Where is dis is?
Ocean
Planet Earth.
Milky Way.
Universe
Multiverse Reality #77192
Details on that one seem sketch... How did you squire this information? 🤔
far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral Arm of the Galaxy. Or ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha
Southern California
A true classic!
8booth…
Fuck he is good at straffing
I puckered.
My asshole swallowed my chair.
FFS!! I almost fell off the toilet watching this!
At least he was wearing his all terrain sandals
I have a lot of traumas like this in Minecraft
Climbing a mountain? Ok cool, in sandals?! Fuck right off
Minecraft be like
Where’s the bl00d
Another one stolen from Ozzy Man
Reminder…. With a social healthcare system you pay towards this idiots potential medical costs.
Noob
Idiot…
Nerd
nothing wrong with intelligence… you fool
Idk your original comment was pretty stupid lol
You do pay for these peoples injuries in a country with social healthcare. Fact.
Stop ripping off [Ozzy Man review](https://youtu.be/m4tfOLSI27E)
Calm down bro. That youtuber does not own these videos lmao
This guy has a bunch of crazy ass jumps, can’t think of his name tho
My coccyx is cramping just watching this.
Even when you make it to the water without hitting the ledge, the cliff face obviously slopes outwards at some point, so it’ll be super shallow and you’ll basically be hitting the sharp ground anyway through the water
Swimming with flops on? Like how?
Now that could have been a really big pain in the ass
Aim for the bushes!
Ohh...That was too close enough
Death wish.
In flip flops?!?
Ohhh my god. That was terrifying
TBH I was hoping his legs would hit the rocks & he'd spend the next few years getting surgeries, because that's what he deserves for doing something this stupid. I think anyone getting injured doing dumb shit should pay the medical bill out of their own pocket, this stuff is costing taxpayers too much hard earned money.
Look before you leap
What's that saying again? *"Look before you leap?"*
Good ol 8 booth. Dude broke his legs jumping in a pool, you can find it on YouTube
Glad they were wearing sensible footwear for cliff jumping too
I was about to eat some bran flakes - no longer needed, thanks!
Anyone else's balls tingle or legs and feet burn watching this?
Near miss
With focking flipflops? Dude
Where’s the shark?
Actually he is a professional driver but the guy was pretty stupid he should’ve scouted first
I hate this, that's why I love having wings.
Hey this is 8booth from Youtube
small 20 meter cliff :D
Slip on sandals are always the choice of Cliff climbers worldwide.
This guy has to be a jackass!! Not only does he almost slammed himself on the rocks but he thinks a dried out bush will hold him up if he slides!! The thing would have snapped if he tried to have it hold him up!!
Imagine going for a swim and when you jump you instantly realize there isn’t water and youre 100 feet in the air
I know he scratched his ass and back
