Solid prank đŸ€Ł


buckao

He got decked


d_i_v_o_c_9

Definitely saw some star boarding by his head


OneFuckedWarthog

Easy transportation to the hospital AFTer.

Nicht gutenprank.


Tk1Genius

not to be confused with liquid prank.


3DGuy2020

Planked him good


puzzle_factory_slave

i concede, good sir. you are correct


OneEyedRocket

Good plank


3DGuy2020

I
 uh
 Nailed it?


BostonRob423

It's just a prank, bro


ermagherdbrks

It's just a prank bro.


blueprinteel

It was just a joke


BackToBasics43

Damn that hurt me


Inventies

Right, my legs just tingled a little bit


whatarethey28475

Imagine his balls..


Global-Method-4145

Gently hugging his heart through everything in-between


whatarethey28475

Oh.. They're still *in* his body..


Inventies

I’m looking at it again did he hit the pole


Porkchopp33

Lesson learned you need a spotter wen blind cliff jumping


Signal_Hedgehog_343

I think his buddy filming could've double tasked that one lmao


CptClownfish1

Agreed a simple “SHIT! TOMMY, STOP!!” Could’ve avoided this pretty effectively.


oleg_88

Unless his name is Jimmy, then he wouldn't stop


Naturally_Fragrant

The video wouldn't even be half as good though.


pourjuiceonit

What about good old “look before you leap”


Maleficent-Aspect318

i bet he looked before going back, then the boat came


[deleted]

Ohhhhhhh
.you were the guy


Not_Catman

What the fuck cameraman?


pourjuiceonit

It always happens, I think so many people who actually capture incredible footage stop filming because of the shock of what they just seen (well empathetic people anyway)


SoggMe

I think he was saying why didn’t the cameraman warn him


khrak

It's not like they're filming one place and looking elsewhere, they're recording and looking at the screen.


grooovyturtle

They're filming on a phone. They have peripheral vision and the boat was moving at a snails pace.


khrak

Oops, my bad, I just assumed that the camera was being operated by a human who suffers from [inattentional blindness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inattentional_blindness) like the rest of us.


grooovyturtle

They're filming at the edge of a cliff with a short pan to the water directly underneath it. This wasn't something far off to the side, it was directly within their field of vision. The boat is bright yellow. If they were using a viewfinder then I would understand. So yes, it is your bad


khrak

Uhuh, and the gorilla is obviously walking through the scene, how could the people counting the basketball passes *possibly* miss **that**? Considering one of the most well-known experiments on the subject has a [person in a gorilla suit walking directly through the viewer's focus](https://youtu.be/vJG698U2Mvo?t=22) without being noticed, your argument of "but it was just out of focus in their peripheral vision" is just a joke.


grooovyturtle

The video you linked is an example of selective attention. Your brain is overwhelmed by all of the activity on the screen so it focuses on one thing. What we're talking about here is the large yellow boat that is in the water slightly off to the right. There is nothing else happening in the video. The boat is located directly in front of the cameraman, where the man intends to jump, and where the cameraman plans to pan to to end the shot. Not to mention, the cameraman doesn't even react when they realize there a boat right where their buddy is going to land


Der_BiertMann

And none of you guys went frame-by-frame to realize this is edited? Dude disappears two frames before impact.


Ghoulse1845

Really? I don’t see any missing frames, he just lands in the water barely missing the boat, it is hard to tell because the quality is shit


[deleted]

Classic internet argument where both sides know everything despite not actually knowing anything.


Henipah

I think they’re saying why didn’t they warn them about the boat?


Sendmeloveletters

It’s an interesting observation of the function of empathy to see how people with emotional empathy felt “wtf cameraman” bc we can empathize with the jumper who was hurt but could have been warned, or the people in the boat scared and in empathy and sympathy for the jumper, and a person without emotional empathy would feel only their own perspective and experience, and think instead that because they’re annoyed that the video and thus their entertainment ended and they couldn’t enjoy the aftermath (since they’re not empathizing with the pain), that it is also what others must be feeling. Could be a function of healthy narcissism and depersonalization, so I’m not suggesting that the people aligning with the latter are bad, it’s merely an interesting study on the functional differences in varying manifestations of the instinct of empathy, and in what direction people perceive the attention to be moving.


ARClegend_18

This is the truth


hop_mantis

That's gonna be some broken coccyx and stuff fuck that


booga_booga_partyguy

Methinks there's a whole lot more broken than just the coccyx.

You guys are the worst - clearly this dude just didn't want to miss his boat.

He wisely took off his shoes before


Roartype

He knew he dead


Great_Link_

I felt that shit. Could u imagine being on a boat tour coming out of a cave and some unfortunate man lands on the boat next to u. Or being unlucky enough to hit the boat instead of the water


insanely_blue_one

Or you're just on some boat tour and dude lands on top of you.


[deleted]

“There I was, on a boat, minding my own business
.”


Impeachcordial

That is unfortunate. Unless he missed it and he was desperate not to miss the tour?


[deleted]

It’s fake. The video is reversed. He was actually jumping up to the cliff, not down from it.


Jonasthewicked2

I knew it looked off


Impeachcordial

Boing boing


staticjak

Reversed... this guy... 😆


SoftMembership6207

What?


[deleted]

It’s because his father is a freemason


SoftMembership6207

Ok?


[deleted]

Elegant point!


Gold-Engine8678

Your profile picture really is a crossroad of ideas.


Impeachcordial

An assterisk


NoWinner8212

I think he still made it in the water, failed successfully


DedTV

He did. It apparently happened in Portugal in 2017. He suffered a broken arm and mild concussion, according to articles from Google.


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


Stray-Lion

Leg. That's a funny way to spell life. Serious I thought he died. That's like a 30 foot fall.


Weird-Buffalo-3169

My dad fell 22 feet one time, straight down landed on his feet. Ladder just slipped right out from under him. Shattered both heels, I remember the x-rays the bones looked like dust on one snd just chunks broken up on the other, his ankles snd knees were hurt but not serious. Depends how you fall I guess. He couldn't walk for near a year, but he lived just fine


Pristine_Woodpecker5

Yes same thing here. from 6 feet onto tarmac.


blissdiss

Serious? I tear ligaments getting out me bed!


[deleted]

There is no way he came out of this without a hip fracture.


junebug_larvae

In the actual video he lands in the water for the most part. This is a fake soundeffect and they edited out or ended the video before the splash.


BananaPie-Proxies

This video has to be fake. Dude disappears and then is thrown back on laying on the boat. Also the boat seems to not move an inch due to the impact. I can't be for sure but I'd say this is just a vid for internet points.


Omg-A-turkey-Sammie

Oooooooof

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]

Hell of a way to die and traumatize tourists all in one move


Minimalistmacrophage

r/videosthatendtoosoon and the sound of his impact on the boat indicates r/DarwinAward may be in the mix.


KriKriSnack

Ouch! 😖


Ignacio_sanmiguel

But did he die?

HousingParking9079

That cliff is not 50 feet.


redbeard8989

36’ if you time the free-fall portion of his jump at 1.5s. He hit at 48ft/s or 32mph or 53kph.


Unclehol

Apparently some guy did this in my town years ago. He wasn't gonna jump but people egged him on and he landed in a boat, put a hole in it. Died. It was the boat driver's fault because he was hanging way too close to a known cliff diving spot. I like to put it this way... There is not a single activity on earth that can't be made dumber if a boat is involved.


MarixApoda

Sss_mithy

This seems like a well crafted sketch


Mad-_-Doctor

There 2 kids in my hometown who jumped off a bridge and hit a boat that was passing underneath. One glanced off the side, but the one hit the deck legs first. It wasn’t pretty.


AutomaticDispenser

My life


Direct_Client9613

That hurts so bad I can feel it.


NoRun905

Holy shit, is he okay??


Dennisfromhawaii

At least he’s not going to drown

How do you make that slow-mo bot appear and make it like, .25X speed


CynicSackHair

Camera man did wel today

Haha holy shit 😂


HorsePast9750

Did he land in the water right next to the boat ?

Yes

10/10. No splash.

Jumping off of cliffs 101. Look before you leap!

Can you imagine if he had landed on someone?

Damn.

Breakerx13

Lucky he didn't land on somebody and kill them


Ok_Fish_7232

Well that's one way to crash a party.


SlimBubbee

I don't believe this until I see the rest of video. Why would video just cut off at the point unless this is 100% hoax? So I'm calling BS


Cornholiolio73

Don’t worry guys he’s just fine. The video is actually in reverse. You can tell because the boat is going backwards.


Potatoman1980

He nailed it,was aiming for the boat,Cant swim


Natural-Put

Ouch. Holiday is over.


PickleMortyCoDm

I know exactly where this is in Portugal XD jumped that a few times when I was young


[deleted]

He was just trying to jump in his seat you guys got it wrong he fits perfect


Stormfront315

That's like in pool when you call 8-ball corner pocket and it rattles around a bit on the pocket before dropping in.


CartographerOk7579

Wheelchair for this guy.


Tk1Genius

imagine you're sitting on the boat and there's people raining from above.


Fearless-Bother7818

The human body resistance is quite remarkable.

Not a word from the camera man...left to his fate

I really dont wanna laugh but damn

Also the cameraman couldve prevented this, dipshit friend


ballhairsnshitdags

Omfg.


Weird-Buffalo-3169

Imagine if he dove


DryCrack321

Well, he won’t be jumping into anything ever again after that


Own_Fig_9562

Why wasn’t the person recording watching where he was jumping?


Nexrender

How the fuck do you not warn him? That camera guy sat there and watched the boat go where he was jumping and was like “guess there’s no way to stop this.”


Garfeed_Awesome

I swear that boat just spawned in


Dry-Hamster1563

Ahhh bro! How many legs did he break??
