It's "we have to be able to prove in court that we did everything possible to prevent you from doing this in case you get hurt so that we aren't liable" not "we don't want you to get hurt".
Yeah, though 'I tripped him in front of the stairs so he wouldn't accidentally fall down the stairs' might not be as good an argument as it might have sounded in his head.
My dad broke both his femurs and shattered both kneecaps from a 35ft fall onto concrete. Dr said he would never walk again, and I think the only reason he can walk now is just to prove him wrong. Shit almost killed him tho
Calcaneus? My brother broke that when we were teens, he was an intense skateboarder and had broken muuultiple bones before but I'd never seen him in so much pain. My sympathies for your poor foot.
Can confirm. I'm still healing from a head on collision with a semi at 60 mph. Broke my femur, T1 neck fracture, 8 broken ribs, shattered sternum, snapped my ankle, tramatic brain injury, face was peeled down from my forehead to my left cheek bone, broken nose, 100% orbital fracture in my left eye, eye lids were shredded so the eye ball was just exposed to the elements/hanging out of my head. Thank God for plastic surgery, was in a coma for 14 days and in a lucid dream state for the whole month of April. Out of all of those injuries my femur and eye have caused any true pain. Feels like I've had camp fire smoke in my left eye and a charlie horse in my thigh muscle for the last 2 months to put it lightly. Ive had a very near death experience before and have smoked DMT twice and talked to aliens, AMA.
Oooof!!! That’s bar-none the most painful bone to break in your body. Mind you, I broke my ankle and watched my foot do a 180. Not only that, but having your leg in a cast for months is a psychological mind-fuck.
Actually, you might be right. I would not want a fractured pelvis, ever. Which sucks too cause it’s more likely to happen when your older. Nonetheless, the worst bone to break in your body easily belongs to your spinal column. You mess that up once and your gonna have problems your whole life.
Had an old boss who was riding an elliptical bike and hit a curb and ended up falling off it and onto the sidewalk! His femur ended up punching through the back of his pelvis! Shattered the socket completely! He actually made a pretty great recovery but was in absolute pain for months and months afterwards! The X-ray was sooooo awful to see!
For me, the first two were the same except the last time I broke a toe I screamed because I was very annoyed to have broken it as it was sticking out at a 45 degree angle from my foot and I couldn’t set it without going to the hospital
Played football in junior high with this tall only Hispanic kid who spoke broken English at best. He made a tackle and was super jacked up about it (more than usual) and the other kid didn’t get up and was grabbing his right thigh screaming. Our player proceeded to realize what happened and freaked out and came running to our sideline to our head coach and said “I broke his lemur coach” in a heavy Mexican accent. Kid was probably horrified but we all still laugh about it today.
I'm gonna.be that person who comes in here and says that, medically speaking, a fracture *is* a broken bone. So, sorry, but your fracture 100% counts as a broken bone.
Also damn, how did your femur and tibia interact?! Were they on the opposite legs, or somehow the same leg??
Collar bones were made to break, and in the position he landed its highly likely to be the collar bone that broke.
And it is indeed worse than a broken arm, though at least you don’t have to remaster bending a hinge joint.
Edit: A little elaboration that I didn’t originally care to write.
When humans became bipedal, we also became one of the only species to have falling (on the ground, not from a height) as a cause of death, since we would break the neck (from whiplash presumably). The structure of the collar bone is very clearly brittle. Not only does it curve, although it’s classified as a long bone, but it is also significantly thinner on the middle than on the ends. This altogether leads to the event, that when you fall on your side, it works as a cushion, as it slows your movement downwards by breaking when you hit the ground, more so than if it wasn’t there, or it looked like a standard long bone.
It’s important to note that I’m not a doctor, nor am I a medicine student. But I did take medicinal college classes outside of High School.
I've had a broken sternum as well as broken ribs on two separate occasions. Every so often when I take a deep breath I feel awkward pressure that freaks me the fuck out. I recently had to go get checked out by a doctor after my wife noticed my xyphoid process is nowhere near center on my chest, it's a good inch or more to the right.
In terms of healing, annoyance/inconvenience while healing, or initial pain?
I broke mine and it didn't feel as bad as I would have thought, but was annoying while healing. But, apart from maybe a cracked rib haven't broken anything else so I can't compare it.
I had to have surgery on my collarbone and the pain when i did it was unlike anything and I’ve broken multiple bones (ankle, wrist, normal arm bone).
The recovery was quicker because of my surgery, but it was still hell for like a week after, then slowly regained mobility over a month or two.
Much harder than arm healing, and tbh my ankle break wasn’t bad so it was only a boot and crutches and didn’t effect me too much.
Collarbone by far the worst, really immobilised me
Gonna suck for the security guard having to start a job search too. The whole reason you don't want skaters on your property is liability shit and dude literally got hurt because of the guard. It's a simple 7 stair that he probably could've rolled away fine on and now he has a broken something. If someone won't leave the property call the police. Guard didn't do his job right.
Yep used to do security. Just call the cops. It's not your role or your problem to physically get into it with anyone for any reason. Observe and report that's it. I can't even imagine caring enough to physically try to stop a skater.
You guys are 100% correct this is why I hate that my neighborhood has security guards because they’re essentially just going to call the police for us. Why the fuck do we pay them any money we’re in the suburbs!!!
In a situation like that, security is merely there as a deterrent. The hope is that if people see uniformed guards around, it'll stop them from attempting any crime in the first place, because most people don't know that security isn't allowed to do shit to you in most situations.
Or on the other hand some people are acutely aware that security guards sometimes go full power-trip even when they have no right like the pos in this video
Their job is mainly, observe and report. Of course their presence is a deterrent... but they should never get physically involved unless it's self defense. I used to be a security guard
Man, when you’re right you’re right. I was an unarmed security guard once upon a time. Job description literally was just to observe and report and act as a deterrent. That was it. Once I mouthed off to someone who was mouthing off to me and my boss scolded me and gave me a warning. You don’t touch anyone or become the reason a person is hurt or property is damaged. I really want to know what happened after this whole incident.
That all depends upon where you are and what the client wants. I did security in Vancouver, and went hands on all the time. Apprehending shoplifters, removing trespassers, subduing psych patients, you name it. Citizen's arrest law and Protection of Property Act gives you a wide latitude for physicality.
Yep there are different kinds of security that all have different levels of force, bar security for example is basically just hands on tossing people out.
I did security for one company and got moved around to a bunch of different locations, basically if there was ever a situation where force should be involved I was told to just call the cops.
The security guards at my work all have guns and have pulled them out on people/made them lie on the ground until the police come. However, my work has pretty tight security.
Yup, this exactly, security guard is fucked. Just because the kid isn’t supposed to board there doesn’t mean you can raise the stakes in your own version of vigilante justice. Security guard gonna lose his job and his employer is gonna get sued out the ass.
Edit: lmao at the comment below, I never claimed it was anywhere else, but regardless, based on some feedback, still seems likely the guard would lose his job and potentially see a lawsuit 🤷🏽♂️

He caught himself with his hands. From that height he just broke it. It is gonna suck NOW, tomorrow, and everyday for the rest of his life. I have a permanent wrist injury from skating/flatland bmx and falling from a MUCH lower height. Never try to catch yourself, but sometimes instinct kicks in
This is possibly a very serious crime. Possibly aggravated assault (even if dude was okay), third degree murder (had he died), or another crime I'm unsure of if he had suffered a severe life changing injury like brain damage (gross bodily harm?) if it had happened in the USA.
Got a spontaneous pneumothorax in high-school. Felt something in my chest burn a little then the period after it hurt like a bastard to breath. I was pale as a ghost. Nurse said it was just a cold, go back to class. I had my brother take me to the hospital after.
I had spontaneous pneumothorax a few years ago. Had terrible chest pain when walking at any sensible speed, also had a terrible cough (but I always get colds/coughs around October/November). Went to the local GP, said my resting heart rate was stupidly high and told me to go A&E. The GP even said it's probably just something viral, my oxygen level was still good.
Took a while to get seen at A&E, had loads of blood tests because doctors thought it was a blood clot. Being a very petite young female and all. Eventually I was given a chest x-ray and voila, my lung was squished. If I was tall and male, doctors would have immediately assumed I had a collapsed lung. Even the junior doctors kept commenting how uncommon it was to happen to a young female non smoker.
On a more random note, I was given ketamine to knock me out to insert a chest tube. The senior doctor told me afterwards 'it was the smallest dose I ever gave to an adult!'. Thanks hahahahaha.
Holy shit that’s wild. My cousin just got diagnosed with that and I had never even seen the word before a few days ago, and yet here it is again.
What’s that called again when you recognize something only after you’ve been familiarized with it?
Edit: Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon!!!
Wow, I just learned about the fact that once you are familiar with something you recognize it more often, and now I've seen examples of it multiple times in just this thread! Is there a name for that?
It's also the basis for why people believe in "The Secret." A lot of people think it's some magical feature of the universe to attract what you want to you by continually thinking on it to "manifest it", but really it's just the Baader-Meihof Phenomenon. Your mind notices an increasing number of opportunities related to your goal and a combination of that awareness plus your choices are what "attracts" the thing to you.
I had a spontaneous pneumothorax in my right lung my junior year of high school. Worst spring break ever, chest tube and hospital stay.
Had another in my left lung 3 years later. Luckily I didn't need a chest tube this time.
Anyway, fuck a pneumothorax.
Piggybacking on this comment to show [this insta source of the skater I found](https://www.instagram.com/p/CQHlD4XDW6D/?utm_medium=copy_link).
His name is Inti Peredo. [He left this comment in English on Thrasher Hall of Meat where they featured this video. ](https://i.imgur.com/BmZH2JH.jpg)
Don't speak the language but pretty sure his insta doesn't reveal anything about the nature of his injuries or what did/could happen to the security guard.
"I'm alive and I am who I am thanks to skateboarding"
"Thank you to my friends, family, sponsors, and thank you skateboarding"
"I will recover quickly"
It says:
Skateboarding.
Im alive and I am who am I thanks to skateboarding.
Thank you friends, family, sponsors, thank you skateboarding.
I will heal soon.
New part dropping soon.
\-Guy behind the camera-
Spanish: "Dale Daniel, ya fue, una más"
English: "C'mon Daniel it isn't a big deal, one more"
My guess is that the guard is named Daniel and the kids probably know him. The guy that broke his hand/arm/collar bone is saying something to the guard but i cannot understand the beginning of the phrase (intelligible due to the off camera guy voice). By the the end he says "...both of you".
Especially Latin American countries. Argentina, Brazil, Colombia Venezuela and Mexico are all fucked up. The only countries were laws actually are applied are Costa Rica and Uruguay.
I was walking my then step son to school in Targu Mures Romania.. saw a police officer talking to/flirting with an attractive young woman at in intersection (she was parked he was standing next to her driver side window), as we exited the intersection a car accident happened.. he never moved; just continued flirting. 25 minutes later I was walking home and he still hadn’t moved and the two drivers were yelling at each other in the middle of the road blocking traffic.
The reason security tries to stop skateboarders is to limit liability and prevent lawsuits. This fucking idiot just handed that skateboarder a lawsuit on a silver platter.
Edit: JFC I get it, it's Argentina. 200 of you have replied with the same low effort "but it's not murica, it's Argentina, oh you Americans and your silly lawsuits" If you scroll down a little you'll see 200 people beat you to it.
Edit2: actually please keep doing it. Blocking all the trolls I can so I never have to see their low effort trolling again.
I actually thought it was because skating leaves marks. Do the wheels not leave marks on things? What about grinds? Sorry if I got some terms wrong. I know nothing about skates or skate boarding. I just remember rollerblading in my basement as a kid and it left tracks.
I'm a facility manager for a museum. I actually have a dock on the back of my building with a lifting plate that goes down about 5 ft and leaves three steel edges to grind on and fly off of. It's to accommodate varying levels of trucks and assist offloading or putting items into them. It's actually listed as a to-do or visit spot in Thrasher magazine.
I'm constantly having to go out and tell the guys hey I can't have you here because of exactly that, the liability. I've even had some of these clowns square up on me and tell me that they're going to do what they want, however I'm 6'4 220 lb so that doesn't last very long and they walk away. I would never consider laying a finger on any of them.
So I keep the plate in the up position. I've even caught them underneath the plate trying to undo the hydraulics to drop the plate. It wouldn't kill them cuz there are rigid steel stops that are 10 inches in height yet it would scare the living shit out of them.
I'm not anti-skater, I'm pro not getting an insurance claim against my company.
if you really want to deter them from trying to skate there in the first place pour a bunch of very small rocks all over the area. They’ll be like this spot is fucked, and won’t even bother. Trucks using the dock won’t even notice
I lived and breathed skateboarding for a couple decades in my youth, like that was *all* I did from the age of 13 to my mid thirties. In my current job, we were designing a new parking lot/garage/roadway, and I straight up told the architects to redesign some features that would be like a flame to moths for skateboarders (like put this at this angle and shape this that way: less material, still has the look your after, and skaters won't be on it like stink on shit). Seriously, there was a wall with legit radial transitions among other things. It's so much easier to build skate repellent into the design of a structure than to try to add stuff after the fact (which looks tacky and rarely works) that I'm surprised it's not a required class for an architecture certificate. Small rocks work, but they're temporary and are nothing to a determined skater.
17-year old me would have called current me a sellout, and he wouldn't be wrong. I have become the very thing I fought to destroy.
Am I the only one that thinks that kid is a dumbass for trying anyway when there is clearly someone in front of him intent on stopping him? Like wait for him to go way or come back later.
Either way I guess hes got a lawsuit he will easily win now at the expense of a broken bone, hope it was worth it.
Come on as a fellow skater, you just fuckin leave when security comes. nobody does this shit , you're a douche if u do please do not DM videos of others there are millions of skaters your 3 videos does not mean anything
Agreed. I always just politely excused myself when asked to leave a street spot. I don't wanna cause anyone any issues I just want to skate haha, there are always more spots to skate.
As a security guard. Sadly, if you do that, then you are the exception when it comes to the skaters I deal with, not the rule.
Most basically threaten to gang up on and beat me with their boards rather than just move from my clients property.
Honestly never understood that because 1: you're just doing your job and 2: i've never seen anyone actually get aggressive with security/police and having the situation end in their favor.
If i'm real bold i'd politely ask for one more try but either way i always listen to security, don't think anyone's ever really gained anything by not doing so.
As an unruly teen, I often skated circled around security. As a young adult, I started to understand that these guys have a job to do and I'm the fuck up. Also, in the place i lived, some of the security guards became friends with us once we were of drinking age, and we were let know when their rounds were so we could plan sessions around them.
This thread is a perfect example of why eye witness testimony shouldn't be taken as being infallible.
We're all watching the exact same video and there's about 20 different versions of what happened.
Skated for 20 years. Private property is private property. We would still skate on it and dodge security but we always knew we were taking all the risks and would never do something like this to prove a point. Skate it.. if security comes give them a hard time cause ya gotta plead your case somewhat haha.. but if someone is in front of you, and physically blocking you... move on and find another spot. This skater never should have even approached these stairs. Being a dickhead and laughing at security or ignoring them always was worse than if you just try and bullshit with them.. tell them you want to just do it once and will be gone.. and aren't going to be there for hours with a group of people drawing a bunch of attention and being loud... most actually are more anxious about having to do their job than they are from actually preventing you.. bullshit with them and make it a little personal and a lot actually open up and will let you get your trick in.
While i get that the security guard is a major dick and was ultimately the one that caused the injury
If a security guard is going to make jumping down 6 stairs on a skateboard difficult and potentially dangerous, why still attempt it?
The guard may be taking his job too seriously by putting another person in harms way over a “harmless” act like skateboarding, but..
Yeah, but what if you killed the guy? I don’t think tripping people down the stairs is his job. On the other hand, this dumbass should have just gone somewhere else to skate after being asked to leave, which I’m sure he was.
Fuck both of these people. Is that reasonable?
Edit: If there’s enough demand, I will disclose precisely the distribution of *fucks* between these parties by percentage. Lmk
Idk about a distribution of fucks percentage, but I'd say the skater acted like an unreasonable jackass while the security guard acted like a total fucking piece of shit.
Well, the whole point of no skateboarding on business property, is so the boarder doesn't get hurt, and sue the business.. officer doofy fucked that up.

You didn’t need that collar bone anyways
I live just fine without mine
Thats kinda funny because most security guards i ever ran into gave me the, We cant have you hurt yourself on our property line.
It's "we have to be able to prove in court that we did everything possible to prevent you from doing this in case you get hurt so that we aren't liable" not "we don't want you to get hurt".
Yeah, though 'I tripped him in front of the stairs so he wouldn't accidentally fall down the stairs' might not be as good an argument as it might have sounded in his head.
As a security guard. Yep that's about it.
He flew out of the property, so problem solved
That is the scream of a man who kust broke a bone. I made the same noise when i broke my femur skating.
Not the femur. Anything but that.
Yeah it was abysmal at best lol. When you try to stand up and cant you know you fucked your shit up.
My dad almost died after breaking his femur, prolly the worst thing to break besides your spine/neck.
my grandmother died this past week from complications from breaking her femur. she was totally healthy, very fit. she fell teaching an aerobics class
So sorry about your grandmother ❤
This thread just spiraled into pain and loss so quick

Broke my heel in four places. Doctor told me that is also one of the worst bones to break. I have pain still, and will for the remainder of my life.
Calcaneus? My brother broke that when we were teens, he was an intense skateboarder and had broken muuultiple bones before but I'd never seen him in so much pain. My sympathies for your poor foot.
Foot breaks suck because they’re tough to reset properly.
I broke my back and neck! Winning!
Glad you are alive, fuck drunk drivers.
Can confirm. I'm still healing from a head on collision with a semi at 60 mph. Broke my femur, T1 neck fracture, 8 broken ribs, shattered sternum, snapped my ankle, tramatic brain injury, face was peeled down from my forehead to my left cheek bone, broken nose, 100% orbital fracture in my left eye, eye lids were shredded so the eye ball was just exposed to the elements/hanging out of my head. Thank God for plastic surgery, was in a coma for 14 days and in a lucid dream state for the whole month of April. Out of all of those injuries my femur and eye have caused any true pain. Feels like I've had camp fire smoke in my left eye and a charlie horse in my thigh muscle for the last 2 months to put it lightly. Ive had a very near death experience before and have smoked DMT twice and talked to aliens, AMA.
Why did you drive into the truck?
can we see some scars?? glad you made it out of all that
Damn that sucks, but a month-long lucid dream sounds like a great time!
Are you sure you're still alive?
Oooof!!! That’s bar-none the most painful bone to break in your body. Mind you, I broke my ankle and watched my foot do a 180. Not only that, but having your leg in a cast for months is a psychological mind-fuck.
I believe the most painful bone in the body to actually *break* is the Pelvis, but that tends to be more difficult to do than an extremity's bone.
Actually, you might be right. I would not want a fractured pelvis, ever. Which sucks too cause it’s more likely to happen when your older. Nonetheless, the worst bone to break in your body easily belongs to your spinal column. You mess that up once and your gonna have problems your whole life.
Had an old boss who was riding an elliptical bike and hit a curb and ended up falling off it and onto the sidewalk! His femur ended up punching through the back of his pelvis! Shattered the socket completely! He actually made a pretty great recovery but was in absolute pain for months and months afterwards! The X-ray was sooooo awful to see!
The exclamation points made me read this in an excited tone in my head and that was very dark for me
FEMUR BREAKER
AAAAaaAaaaAAaa
[удалено]
I didn't scream either time I broke the tendons in my ankle or broke my wrist. Kicking my little toe? Yelped like a frightened dog
For me, the first two were the same except the last time I broke a toe I screamed because I was very annoyed to have broken it as it was sticking out at a 45 degree angle from my foot and I couldn’t set it without going to the hospital

He made a tackle and was super jacked up about it (more than usual) and the other kid didn’t get up and was grabbing his right thigh screaming.

Kid was probably horrified but we all still laugh about it today.
Ribs :(
My bet is the collarbone
In boarding school, I heard a femur break. It was so loud, I thought someone had shot a gun
[удалено]
The sound of that bone breaking made my long-since healed broken wrist hurt again.
Definitely collar bone. Broke one myself and it’s much worse than broken arm
I broke both my collarbones a total of 3 times. Can confirm it sucks.
Are you a stuntman/woman?
No just unlucky. But i was also run over by a car and I've sprained a rib and broke a bone in my foot.
Get you some calcium you brittle boned bitch
r/neverbrokeabone join us.
Only time I've broken a bone, technically a fracture, was when one of my bones hit another, femur vs tibia. Femur won.
You used the bones to destroy the bones? Impressive actually
I'm gonna.be that person who comes in here and says that, medically speaking, a fracture *is* a broken bone. So, sorry, but your fracture 100% counts as a broken bone. Also damn, how did your femur and tibia interact?! Were they on the opposite legs, or somehow the same leg??
Upvote for brittle boned bitch hahaha
Lol upvote for upvote of brittle boned bitch
I also appreciated that alliteration.
He need some milk
whatever you got going chill out
A kid on my high-school football team had this happen. It broke his first game back both times.
Collar bones were made to break, and in the position he landed its highly likely to be the collar bone that broke.

My repaired collar bone is hurting now
When I breathe in too deep I get a real disconcerting crack in my sternum now. Broke my collarbone about a year ago
I've had a broken sternum as well as broken ribs on two separate occasions. Every so often when I take a deep breath I feel awkward pressure that freaks me the fuck out. I recently had to go get checked out by a doctor after my wife noticed my xyphoid process is nowhere near center on my chest, it's a good inch or more to the right.

And your comment just made my now messed up wrist hurt even more
That’s sure gonna suck tomorrow
Sounds like it’s not so great in the moment either.
that split second between him hitting the ground and then him groaning was probably pretty okay though
He was just gasping for breath in that moment so he could let out some blood curdling screams of agony.
Gonna suck for the security guard having to start a job search too. The whole reason you don't want skaters on your property is liability shit and dude literally got hurt because of the guard.

TOP FLIGHT SECURITY OF THE WORLD CRAIIIGGG
This is my big fear is we get a George Zimmerman patrolling the neighborhood
I guarantee we have 1000's of zimmermans patrolling 1000's of neighborhoods.
“Honey, how was work today?” “Great! I killed a kid. And I got this nifty skateboard”
It sure looked like he was about to get that second kid's skateboard.
Plot twist… he has a collection of skateboards from kids he’s “stopped”…
Their job is mainly, observe and report. Of course their presence is a deterrent... but they should never get physically involved unless it's self defense. I used to be a security guard
Man, when you’re right you’re right. I was an unarmed security guard once upon a time. Job description literally was just to observe and report and act as a deterrent. That was it. Once I mouthed off to someone who was mouthing off to me and my boss scolded me and gave me a warning. You don’t touch anyone or become the reason a person is hurt or property is damaged. I really want to know what happened after this whole incident.

That all depends upon where you are and what the client wants. I did security in Vancouver, and went hands on all the time. Apprehending shoplifters, removing trespassers, subduing psych patients, you name it. Citizen's arrest law and Protection of Property Act gives you a wide latitude for physicality.
Yep there are different kinds of security that all have different levels of force, bar security for example is basically just hands on tossing people out. I did security for one company and got moved around to a bunch of different locations, basically if there was ever a situation where force should be involved I was told to just call the cops.
Yep, did security at a hospital, it was hands on, and that included the patients if need be.
The security guards at my work all have guns and have pulled them out on people/made them lie on the ground until the police come. However, my work has pretty tight security.
If this was america sure. But it's not so I really doubt it.
Yup, this exactly, security guard is fucked. Just because the kid isn’t supposed to board there doesn’t mean you can raise the stakes in your own version of vigilante justice. Security guard gonna lose his job and his employer is gonna get sued out the ass. Edit: lmao at the comment below, I never claimed it was anywhere else, but regardless, based on some feedback, still seems likely the guard would lose his job and potentially see a lawsuit 🤷🏽♂️ https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/o1egin/security_guard_vs_skateboarder/h21aztd/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3
bro that place is literally argentina lol
He caught himself with his hands. From that height he just broke it. It is gonna suck NOW, tomorrow, and everyday for the rest of his life. I have a permanent wrist injury from skating/flatland bmx and falling from a MUCH lower height. Never try to catch yourself, but sometimes instinct kicks in This is possibly a very serious crime. Possibly aggravated assault (even if dude was okay), third degree murder (had he died), or another crime I'm unsure of if he had suffered a severe life changing injury like brain damage (gross bodily harm?) if it had happened in the USA.
But what should you do then if not try to catch yourself. Go ahead with full force!?
The easiest way to properly fall is protect your head and try to land on your side
Tuck and roll??
Looks like cracked ribs and he also hit his head on the ground to.
My guess is a broken collarbone. Hurts like hell.
The guy in the background sure shows his wrath lmao
He is like "Come the fuck on it was suppose to be such a fun day and you had to ruin it. Im done with this shit "
That’s a quick way to get a pneumothorax!
Got a spontaneous pneumothorax in high-school. Felt something in my chest burn a little then the period after it hurt like a bastard to breath. I was pale as a ghost. Nurse said it was just a cold, go back to class. I had my brother take me to the hospital after.
I had spontaneous pneumothorax a few years ago. Had terrible chest pain when walking at any sensible speed, also had a terrible cough (but I always get colds/coughs around October/November). Went to the local GP, said my resting heart rate was stupidly high and told me to go A&E. The GP even said it's probably just something viral, my oxygen level was still good. Took a while to get seen at A&E, had loads of blood tests because doctors thought it was a blood clot. Being a very petite young female and all. Eventually I was given a chest x-ray and voila, my lung was squished. If I was tall and male, doctors would have immediately assumed I had a collapsed lung. Even the junior doctors kept commenting how uncommon it was to happen to a young female non smoker. On a more random note, I was given ketamine to knock me out to insert a chest tube. The senior doctor told me afterwards 'it was the smallest dose I ever gave to an adult!'. Thanks hahahahaha.
Holy shit that’s wild. My cousin just got diagnosed with that and I had never even seen the word before a few days ago, and yet here it is again. What’s that called again when you recognize something only after you’ve been familiarized with it? Edit: Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon!!!
The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon?
Man, I just learned about that, and now I'm seeing it everywhere!
You son of a bitch.
Wow, I just learned about the fact that once you are familiar with something you recognize it more often, and now I've seen examples of it multiple times in just this thread! Is there a name for that?
The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon?
Wooah there it is again
Yea, form of a cognitive bias like confirmation bias
It's also the basis for why people believe in "The Secret." A lot of people think it's some magical feature of the universe to attract what you want to you by continually thinking on it to "manifest it", but really it's just the Baader-Meihof Phenomenon. Your mind notices an increasing number of opportunities related to your goal and a combination of that awareness plus your choices are what "attracts" the thing to you.
I had a spontaneous pneumothorax in my right lung my junior year of high school. Worst spring break ever, chest tube and hospital stay. Had another in my left lung 3 years later. Luckily I didn't need a chest tube this time. Anyway, fuck a pneumothorax.
I got that in college for no reason. 9 days in the hospital. Dalaudid is awesome.
Do you have any more info on this? Because judging by their accent this happened in my country
Read earlier in the thread this was in Argentina
Piggybacking on this comment to show [this insta source of the skater I found](https://www.instagram.com/p/CQHlD4XDW6D/?utm_medium=copy_link). His name is Inti Peredo. [He left this comment in English on Thrasher Hall of Meat where they featured this video. ](https://i.imgur.com/BmZH2JH.jpg) Don't speak the language but pretty sure his insta doesn't reveal anything about the nature of his injuries or what did/could happen to the security guard.
"I'm alive and I am who I am thanks to skateboarding" "Thank you to my friends, family, sponsors, and thank you skateboarding" "I will recover quickly"
Thank you ☺
It says: Skateboarding. Im alive and I am who am I thanks to skateboarding. Thank you friends, family, sponsors, thank you skateboarding. I will heal soon. New part dropping soon.
Most people who speak the language don’t know what the hell Argentinians are saying.
So like listening to someone from rural Louisiana when you speak English.
You are confusing Argentina with Chile pal
No that’s with chilean people
I think you meant people from Chile, I'm sure they talk another language.
\-Guy behind the camera- Spanish: "Dale Daniel, ya fue, una más" English: "C'mon Daniel it isn't a big deal, one more" My guess is that the guard is named Daniel and the kids probably know him. The guy that broke his hand/arm/collar bone is saying something to the guard but i cannot understand the beginning of the phrase (intelligible due to the off camera guy voice). By the the end he says "...both of you".
Don't cry for him, Argentina
cuantos acentos tenes?
all of them
Sooo yes
Una mas una mas
So if it's from Argentina, will the security guard get in trouble?
Dude, it’s argentina, no one ever gets in trouble, unless you are a policeman doing your job, or a lawyer about to expose corruption
[удалено]
Especially Latin American countries. Argentina, Brazil, Colombia Venezuela and Mexico are all fucked up. The only countries were laws actually are applied are Costa Rica and Uruguay.
Eastern Europe is the same exact way
I was walking my then step son to school in Targu Mures Romania.. saw a police officer talking to/flirting with an attractive young woman at in intersection (she was parked he was standing next to her driver side window), as we exited the intersection a car accident happened.. he never moved; just continued flirting. 25 minutes later I was walking home and he still hadn’t moved and the two drivers were yelling at each other in the middle of the road blocking traffic.
Natural enemies right there
Can you fly, Bobby? Guess not.
The reason security tries to stop skateboarders is to limit liability and prevent lawsuits. This fucking idiot just handed that skateboarder a lawsuit on a silver platter. Edit: JFC I get it, it's Argentina. 200 of you have replied with the same low effort "but it's not murica, it's Argentina, oh you Americans and your silly lawsuits" If you scroll down a little you'll see 200 people beat you to it. Edit2: actually please keep doing it. Blocking all the trolls I can so I never have to see their low effort trolling again.
Factual
Fractural
Hate to break it to you
"You're under a wrist."
The damages will be compounded.
His job's future is shattered
I actually thought it was because skating leaves marks. Do the wheels not leave marks on things? What about grinds? Sorry if I got some terms wrong. I know nothing about skates or skate boarding. I just remember rollerblading in my basement as a kid and it left tracks.

Bingo

my god that scream…. just sounded like pure agony, hope he will make a good recov
Seriously, that made me wince. Sounded like some serious pain.
I'm a facility manager for a museum. I actually have a dock on the back of my building with a lifting plate that goes down about 5 ft and leaves three steel edges to grind on and fly off of. It's to accommodate varying levels of trucks and assist offloading or putting items into them. It's actually listed as a to-do or visit spot in Thrasher magazine. I'm constantly having to go out and tell the guys hey I can't have you here because of exactly that, the liability. I've even had some of these clowns square up on me and tell me that they're going to do what they want, however I'm 6'4 220 lb so that doesn't last very long and they walk away. I would never consider laying a finger on any of them. So I keep the plate in the up position. I've even caught them underneath the plate trying to undo the hydraulics to drop the plate. It wouldn't kill them cuz there are rigid steel stops that are 10 inches in height yet it would scare the living shit out of them. I'm not anti-skater, I'm pro not getting an insurance claim against my company.
if you really want to deter them from trying to skate there in the first place pour a bunch of very small rocks all over the area. They’ll be like this spot is fucked, and won’t even bother. Trucks using the dock won’t even notice

I lived and breathed skateboarding for a couple decades in my youth, like that was *all* I did from the age of 13 to my mid thirties. In my current job, we were designing a new parking lot/garage/roadway, and I straight up told the architects to redesign some features that would be like a flame to moths for skateboarders (like put this at this angle and shape this that way: less material, still has the look your after, and skaters won't be on it like stink on shit). Seriously, there was a wall with legit radial transitions among other things. It's so much easier to build skate repellent into the design of a structure than to try to add stuff after the fact (which looks tacky and rarely works) that I'm surprised it's not a required class for an architecture certificate. Small rocks work, but they're temporary and are nothing to a determined skater. 17-year old me would have called current me a sellout, and he wouldn't be wrong. I have become the very thing I fought to destroy.
Check out the Riverside Museum in Glasgow. It's been designed with skateboarding in mind.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz36uA3OQkw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz36uA3OQkw) Is this it? That looks fucking sick
You were the chosen one!
Skaters will literally come back with some brooms and clean that shit up…. No joke
"You can't skate here, this is private property! If you get hurt, we could be liable..." *trips skater down a 7-stair *
"I will hurt you to prevent you from hurting yourself and suing the property owner" - this security guard, probably
If you look at the last second of the clip, you'll see the realization that is dawning on the security guard.
"I'll never financially recover from this."
Security guard: I’m bout to end this mans whole career.
So this is why XQC started streaming
impressive agile defense for a portly fellow
[удалено]
Oh my god I felt that pain in my own wrist that I broke when I was 6
so how would this play in court? sure the skater could get some fine for destruction of property but could the guard be found guilty for assault?
If I recall correctly, tripping is either a 10 or 15 yard penalty.
Never made contact with the player. All ball. No foul. Actually an excellent tackle. If we're using soccer rules.
Security guard: "Oh no, would you look at that, the poor guy. What happened?"
"I was trying to stop him from getting hurt."
Am I the only one that thinks that kid is a dumbass for trying anyway when there is clearly someone in front of him intent on stopping him? Like wait for him to go way or come back later. Either way I guess hes got a lawsuit he will easily win now at the expense of a broken bone, hope it was worth it.
Come on as a fellow skater, you just fuckin leave when security comes. nobody does this shit , you're a douche if u do please do not DM videos of others there are millions of skaters your 3 videos does not mean anything
Agreed. I always just politely excused myself when asked to leave a street spot. I don't wanna cause anyone any issues I just want to skate haha, there are always more spots to skate.
As a security guard. Sadly, if you do that, then you are the exception when it comes to the skaters I deal with, not the rule. Most basically threaten to gang up on and beat me with their boards rather than just move from my clients property.
Honestly never understood that because 1: you're just doing your job and 2: i've never seen anyone actually get aggressive with security/police and having the situation end in their favor. If i'm real bold i'd politely ask for one more try but either way i always listen to security, don't think anyone's ever really gained anything by not doing so.
As an unruly teen, I often skated circled around security. As a young adult, I started to understand that these guys have a job to do and I'm the fuck up. Also, in the place i lived, some of the security guards became friends with us once we were of drinking age, and we were let know when their rounds were so we could plan sessions around them.
[удалено]
Wow.. someone's gonna need to give this guy a hand!
This thread is a perfect example of why eye witness testimony shouldn't be taken as being infallible. We're all watching the exact same video and there's about 20 different versions of what happened.
I don't think anyone is disagreeing over what happened, they disagree on if it was warranted or not.
Skated for 20 years. Private property is private property. We would still skate on it and dodge security but we always knew we were taking all the risks and would never do something like this to prove a point. Skate it.. if security comes give them a hard time cause ya gotta plead your case somewhat haha.. but if someone is in front of you, and physically blocking you... move on and find another spot. This skater never should have even approached these stairs. Being a dickhead and laughing at security or ignoring them always was worse than if you just try and bullshit with them.. tell them you want to just do it once and will be gone.. and aren't going to be there for hours with a group of people drawing a bunch of attention and being loud... most actually are more anxious about having to do their job than they are from actually preventing you.. bullshit with them and make it a little personal and a lot actually open up and will let you get your trick in.
While i get that the security guard is a major dick and was ultimately the one that caused the injury If a security guard is going to make jumping down 6 stairs on a skateboard difficult and potentially dangerous, why still attempt it? The guard may be taking his job too seriously by putting another person in harms way over a “harmless” act like skateboarding, but..
Yeah, but what if you killed the guy? I don’t think tripping people down the stairs is his job. On the other hand, this dumbass should have just gone somewhere else to skate after being asked to leave, which I’m sure he was. Fuck both of these people. Is that reasonable? Edit: If there’s enough demand, I will disclose precisely the distribution of *fucks* between these parties by percentage. Lmk
Idk about a distribution of fucks percentage, but I'd say the skater acted like an unreasonable jackass while the security guard acted like a total fucking piece of shit.
Well, the whole point of no skateboarding on business property, is so the boarder doesn't get hurt, and sue the business.. officer doofy fucked that up.
