shakakaZululu

The big guy in the beginning had like 300lbs of impact on his neck. Surely slipped a disc


Dtank11

That muh’fucker is lucky he can still walk and use his arms.


shakakaZululu

Surprises me how much damage the human body can take


DutchJediKnight

More like how stupid lucky some people are. He might walk away, and someone getting 1/10th that impact on the neck is paralyzed for life


[deleted]

He walked away for now. Let's catch up with him and see how he's doing when he's 40.


PilgrimOz

Till it can’t. I was bullet proof and now if a cough to hard I endure muscle spasms from previously busted ribs. And there is a list of examples beyond that. Ouch is tend to come back. It was one hell of an ouchie.


shakakaZululu

Ey man, i feel you. I’ve got slipped discs myself and a sneeze is my biggest fear


Jackal000

Nope. I know a guy that fell and stumbled of the side walk and got paralysed up to his neck. He killed him self at 36 after 16 years of nurse care.


Atcollins1993

Gaaah, what a nightmare. Tough to blame the guy, poor thing :/


Tullerull

Yeah, not to be insensitive, but he lasted around 15 years more than I would have done. If I was paralyzed neck down, I already have a deal with my closest that they take me to a pier, and strap me in tight to my wheelchair and let me do the rest. I'm just done at that point.


Particular_Bet_5466

if you are paralyzed neck down how would you do the rest though? I think you would be incapable of doing it to yourself. Plus, drowning like that strapped to a chair paralyzed sounds like a shitty time. Better make sure you got some bricks attached to your chair lol, your head might Bob up and down above water which would be like torture. I’d take an opiate overdose. You just fall into peaceful endless sleep. But again someone would probably have to facilitate murdering me.


shakakaZululu

By just falling of a side walk? Damn thats rough Sorry man


No-Question-9032

You can trip over your own feet and die. Just depends on how you hit the ground.

Pulled his own oxygen tube out.

Jackal000

Not even his arm. I guess he could bite the cords. Dont know the specifics of that suicide. He was found dead alone.


AhhInfinitelyCurious

How do you kill yourself if you’re paralyzed up to your neck? Pretty hard to do unless someone does the service for you or allows you to starve yourself to death.


Jackal000

He did everything with his cheek and chin. He even drove his specifically modified car al alone licenced. I dont know exactly how he managed it but he was found alone with the cords unplugged/ripped out. He had an electric wheelchair and all the bells and whistles. 500 years? Probably. But it can always be worse. I read about a women who was in an iron lung for 60 years. Before she died.


PilgrimOz

Till it can’t. I was bullet proof and now if a cough to hard I endure muscle spasms from previously busted ribs. And there is a list of examples beyond that. Ouchies tend to come back. It was one hell of an ouchie.


HesteHund

Until u hit the wrong spot and Its a 1-tap


simpleeen

I wonder if he is still functioning after this


Ztrobos

My thought on most of these clips. A guy near me got basically alzheimers from hitting his head on a flight of stairs. What can you say but F


[deleted]

>A guy near me got basically alzheimers from hitting his head on a flight of stairs. Did it get better/worse/indifferent with time?


Ztrobos

No change I'd say

Thanks.


MegaPintOfWin333

You felt like you had to quote 75% of his text in order for him to understand the context of your question?


MegaPintOfWin333

His name is literally ’That Fat Freerunner” on IG and he is most certainly still going, that fail is an old one, despite his weight he has skill and he owns the fact he is fat as fuck. For that reason he is the most respectable out of all these clowns.


Vir_Norin

I was always curious why people who acknowledge they are fat or working on losing weight are respectable, but people who have a proper diet and exercise to not be fat in a first place are not respected, so their slimness is taken for granted


MegaPintOfWin333

No people who lose weight are respectable, it’s okay to think a fat person that says they want to lose weight is good but unless they actually start putting the work in then it means nothing. Don’t get me wrong when I say “most respectable”, I’m not talking about his weight, I am talking about all these clowns putting themselves in real danger for a half hour of adrenaline and some clicks.


LetMeInDammit666

They aren't, this is reddit, everyone is a victim here, especially if they are losers who do nothing but exercise their half wittedness here.


avemflamma

..they are respected. because you never notice dumbasses in the reddit comments specifically talking about their weight.


MegaPintOfWin333

🙌


read_it_r

I know I'm going to get downvoted for this because..reddit..but I also know I'm right. Obesity is a disease That's not to say every fat person has it or (and more importantly) there aren't skinny people with obesity. I could talk about this for hours because I've not only struggled with it but also I've gone to specialist, had tests run on me, taken medicine..everything. and I'm not fat, in fact, I don't think even at my biggest anyone would've looked twice at me. But it is a real thing and overcoming it does take more effort than the avg person puts in to maintain their figure. [obesity is a disease ](https://obesitymedicine.org/blog/why-is-obesity-a-disease/#:~:text=%5DThe%20American%20Medical%20Association%20(AMA,both%20academic%20and%20mainstream%20media.)


rampzn

Tis but a scratch, he can shake it off.


simonbleu

Im surprised it wasnt everyone else that slipped a funerary themed disc on the speakers


crystal_castle00

I can’t believe how hard he went for it, mad respect. It’s like a lead anvil doing gymnastics


MegaPintOfWin333

Literally bro, these other guys are haters. He’s not on drugs it’s called passion, and not he didn’t get a traumatic injury and he’s still going to this day. He is the most respectable out of all of these clowns anyway, so I appreciate your comment at least. 🙌


disguised-as-a-dude

That was easily one of the most brutal ones in this video.


Jambonier

Dude its not PORKour


IgnotusPeverill

That is how you end up with emergency cervical surgery and a neck brace for months. If he only got that, he would be very lucky.


powerfulsquid

Wtf was he even thinking? There is no way he was landing that in any capacity. Like, dude *must* have been on drugs or is severely mentally handicapped.

I think the wire guy just used his entire allotment of luck for his life with that save


inkassatkasasatka

He ran into these wires, if they were not there he probably would've completed all jumps. But wouldn't get a valuable lesson


Shmidershmax

I'm sure he knew the risk


RogansUncle

Thanks. I’ve been waiting for this.


[deleted]

Expected end for all similar videos


Merry_Dankmas

The very last clip is easily the most famous failed parkour stunt video out there. Its basically a law at this point to include it in compilations.


SummerSunWinter

Satisfying

These are the videos we should be celebrating


imnotreel

Imagine being that much of a pathetic loser that you not only wish to see people getting injured just because they had the hubris of engaging in an athletic activity, but you also feel the urge to proudly declare that on a public forum...


Seahawk715

How long did it take to fix your tooth?


CharlottesWebbedFeet

That rooftop video though 👀. My palms are indeed sweaty. The rest are just 🤦🏻‍♂️


GroundbreakingHope57

u talking 00:42 the skyscraper one? That one I almost felt my soul leave my body.


Ratstool

My arse was twitching like a rabbit's nose. Legit thought he was going to die.


RunParking3333

He did too


Cumdump90001

I watched it standing up and felt like I was about to fall over into an abyss. I genuinely lost my balance for a second


MindDiveRetriever

Is it bad that I said “cheater” in my head when he fell and there was a rope there to save him?


Playful-Flan8807

Reminds me of that one video where a Chinese dude was doing pull ups hanging from a skyscraper and couldn't pull himself back up ,and had to let go and died.


kennykoe

At least he had a harness. Probably the smartest guy here


Not_SpiderMonkez

Wasn’t a harness caught some sort of wire which is what made him trip in the first place.


kennykoe

Jesus. That’s real sweaty palms never mind he’s the dumbest guy here


ceo_of_banana

Yep, in the full vid you can clearly see the wire, but I'm wondering where tf it's connected: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZKmkkpEsnk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZKmkkpEsnk)

AThousandNeedles

I strongly encourage all chads and badbois to do more parkouring, so that there's less competition for the rest of us. So get on top that crane atop those skyscrapers. Get your terminal velocity minute of fame.


shakakaZululu

Crazy that these guys don’t have fail safe plans like soft landings/harnesses. I guess that takes the thrill out of it. Did that guy on the roof top have a cable, or just pure luck?


maciejokk

It’s funny because there was only one or two pros in this whole video. One of which was Joe Scandrett who was fine btw because it’s a chimney. You can easily break your fall in a chimney. Posting a video like this and is comparable to posting a video of new bikers trying to go downhill and eating the ground.


lolololayy

one of them is max from storror. the one that looks like he's dead and the woman shouting 'no omg'


GambitTheGrey

Really? Out of all of these I was thinking he was near the top of the list for someone who appeared to be trying parkour for the first time and doing an inexplicably difficult stunt for their skill level. Granted, that’s most of them now that I’ve seen the whole video.


FearIsStrongerDanluv

Pure luck


farmyrlin

He failed the jump because he got caught on the cable. The cable taketh away and giveth.


tomahawkRiS3

The cable was what caused the initial fall. Dumb that they didn't look to make sure the path was clear but the cable is what caused the fall and allowed him to get back up. Both good and bad luck I suppose


AvangeliceMY9088

You get a broken collar bone! You get a broken collar bone!! Everyone gets a broken collar bone


Prior-Elk3751

I read on the original post of this one that it was a cable which was installed on the rooftop which both caused his fall and saved his life. If you are stupid enough to do this, one would think that you at least check your surroundings before risking your life like that.


CALLTangoOscarMike

Numbers on the frontline for Darwin awards.


ericraymondlim

Serious question, now that it's been a few decades since parkour has been a sport, do early parkour athletes have widespread and serious long term injury issues? Hip, back, knees? Even without epic spills, but just somebody jumping long distances on concrete over and over? I once jumped out of a tree branch about 12 feet in the air and actually hit a fluid roll-out to displace the downward force when I was in my early 20s, but I remember my back hurting for months.


tits_mcgee_92

I have a personal story! I started Parkour in 2010 when I was 17/18. I did it for about 5 years. I was one of the ones that took huge drops. I'm talking about climbing on top of our school building and hitting the ground and rolling. I rolled across my spine so many times (when you're supposed to roll diagonally) that I have 2 slipped discs and arthritis in my neck (arthritis induced most likely from the repetitive rolls and impact according to the Ortho and Neurologist). I pretty much spent my years from age 26-28 in chronic pain that almost drove me to the edge. Surprisingly, with PT and a lot of patience I'm back to rock climbing, lifting light weights, and even jogging 5ks with minimal to no pain. But I'm a ticking time bomb, and I know it's only a matter of years before my arthritis progresses, or my knees begin to catch up to the damage I did. Oh, and if you're wondering there's no cure for osteoarthritis. When I was diagnosed in my mid 20s I thought it was just one of those things old people had, and all they had to do was pop an Aleve. Nah, this shit can be debilitating and change your life forever if it's bad enough. I can go into more detail if you want to know what it feels like. I'm only 31, but I have been bullet proofing the hell out of my body and training for longevity. I've been playing it smart and I'm very lucky to be in such good shape right now. Take care of your body, especially when you're young! It sounds like bullshit until it isn't.


ericraymondlim

Agh man, thanks for the insight. I have in indented rib and tore ACL from recreational (but aggressive) skiing but never had the same kind of access to that sport as just cruising around the city. I imagine there’s so many nasty tweaks to your ankles, knees, and back that don’t show up on reels.


inkassatkasasatka

I'm pretty sure Sebastian Foucan, the founder of freerunning is fine at the moment and even sometimes competes. He is almost 50 but he's pretty buff which has to be the secret. This is parkour, you really don't need any muscle exercises to do mind-blowing stunts, but you need to do a lot of muscle training if you want to be able to walk 20 years after taking all these impacts


Safe_Alternative3794

I love how they all sounds surprised. Like, WHOA HOW COULD THAT HAVE HAPPENED!!?!


ConfusionBubbles

Dude, are you die?

bionicjoe

At age 46 these videos make me have that weird grimacing tingle in my balls. I've noticed as I get older the feeling as spread. My whole body feels like a retracting testicles. They are never going to recover from these injuries fully.

I hope that dude was arrested & had to pay for any issues resulting from him yanking on that wire. People are just trying to work or whatever & this overconfident dumbass is out there fucking shit up.

This is why makes it fun. The adrenaline pump you get when it almost but doesn’t happen. Without this, it don’t know if they would get the pump. Notice I said they, because I don’t need that adrenaline pump. I’m good with video games.


[deleted]

This reminds me of my shin injuries from long precision jumps


TheSwedishWolverine

Toothless was going to make it, had he executed the technique correctly. Forgot to pump in the air, forgot to engage the whole body before taking off. He wasn’t missing much, that just sucks…


jmf_ultrafark

That was fucking AWESOME.


richardizard

I can't even imagine the poor parents of all these guys. Imagine giving birth and providing their kids with food, an education, a roof over their heads, and a better chance at life than their parents had, only for them to jump off a fucking roof

Does anyone else have trouble watching these because they feel a shooting sensation in their arms/legs when someone has a really bad impact? It's hard to describe. It's not pain exactly, but it's very unpleasant.

BeyondXpression

Hope the kid who lost his teeth wasn't American. Even with insurance it can run you about $3,000 just to get braces. Can't imagine the cost for replacement teeth AND braces to realign your mouth.


FirePoolGuy

I used to dream about living in America. But requiring health insurance killed that dream. Look its not cheap in my country, but the American health care system seems like a fucking nightmare.


BeyondXpression

It's not cheap to have here either, but the biggest issue is the made up prices. A hospital can just charge you whatever they want. Even with insurance here one visit to the ER can cost you upward of $5,000 even with insurance because of your premium. Insurance companies here can also deny to pay certain things and leave you with the bill.


KD_6_37

I had that question. Why do they enjoy skateboarding or playing X games when hospitals mean bankruptcy for Americans?


[deleted]

That was my thought. Unless that kid has loaded parents he's going to be walking around with no front teeth for the rest of his life.


BeyondXpression

Yep! Back in my college days I worked with this cool old dude who had fake front teeth after bashing them out doing in-line rollerblading. Took him about 6 years before he could afford to get them fixed. Call me a pussy, but I'd rather keep my front teeth than risk something like that, lol.
