This dude is my hero of the day...

Captain Beefheart · 08-03-2007, 12:38 PM

After three seconds of silence and gasps "I can't believe he did a 720". His shoes popped right off like a little toy, and then he actually gets up and walks away. Good grief.

**Ophelia** · 08-03-2007, 12:54 PM

HOLY CRAP!!!!

I looked like he was trying to land on his feet, which he sort of did and then his shoes popped off. OMG.

**Bill5461** · 08-03-2007, 01:32 PM

He'll end up making a lot of money off of this. Good to see he's alright

**Plastic Flute** · 08-03-2007, 01:53 PM

Not even a bloody nose !

**Ophelia** · 08-03-2007, 02:03 PM

I can't stop watching it, its like a tic.

Dennis · 08-03-2007, 02:24 PM

Phenomenal.

**Jocasta** · 08-03-2007, 02:32 PM

Amazing... the kid was very lucky but a "warrior"? Come on, that's stretching it.
I love how his legs cycle in mid air, like a cartoon.

I was shocked, when I heard about it this morning, but this sometimes happens.

Aye.

He was well padded, plus its expected for such thing to happen. At such speeds and heights you're just inviting it.

**Jocasta** · 08-03-2007, 06:47 PM

What about all the guys who get injured doing regular jobs; are they warriors too?

08-03-2007, 07:00 PM

Depends. If you push someone away from bricks falling on them and they fall on you instead: yes. If you slip and hurt your back by spilled coffee in the office lounge: no.

**Jocasta** · 08-03-2007, 07:24 PM

I wasn't thinking of an heroic act, just people who's jobs are dangerous. Trawler fishing, construction, armed services, that kind of stuff.

**Ophelia** · 08-03-2007, 07:29 PM

Everytime I come back here, I have to watch the video again. and it hurts me, each and everytime. If he wouln't have managed to get his heels to hit first, he would have shattered something important.

Yes, that's what I meant by trawling fishing; the most dangerous occupation. But I know of a couple of people recently who've fallen further than that dude, from a construction crane and ended up dead.

Captain Beefheart · 08-04-2007, 09:23 AM

I wouldn't call him a warrior perse, that's just the announcers trying to romantisize the situation and his status. It's extreme sports and ESPN what were you expecting?

But to say "meh" is just overstretching it and ridicoulous on your part Phoenix. Yes he does have padding on his freaking elbows man! He fell from god knows where at an ungodly speed , flat on his back and all you can say is meh?

A miracle, I guess; the return of HST.

I love to watch skateboarding and snowboarding. I don't know why, it's just so fascinating. That's a scary fall, I'm glad he's okay.
