Paralysis due to what in this case would be severance of the spinal cord would be immediate, rendering him unable to stand as he did right after failing. Jeez, everyone knows that.
He definitely needs to have his neck and back checked out *immediately*. But the fact that he braced himself up with his arm shows he’s okay, for the moment.
Yes. He’s definitely paralysed. He gets up to go tell the doctors about it.
And this site archives failures. Doesn’t have to be funny, it just usually is. If you don’t want to watch something somewhat gruesome, don’t click play on something called “backflip fail”. How do you expect a backflip to fail without anyone getting hurt?
The cracking noise made me sick to my stomach. By the way, chances are he’s not paralyzed. He moves and readies himself to stand up just after impact. Paralysis happens instantly, and if he had significantly damaged his vertebrae you would’ve seen him collapse to the ground quite quickly.
Pratfalls are one thing, where somebody has a funny fall that they can walk off. But I really don’t want to see people getting seriously injured for my amusement. The sound of this guy’s skull splitting is cringe-inducing.
you comment a gainer fail with “I’m still doing parkour” yet flips are not parkour. knowledge of movement disciplines fail.
a flip takes time to stop, set and do. it is wasted effort and time, parkour allows for neither.
Still, they do look nice, when you don’t land on your head!
Glad to know you’re not dead and weren’t seriously injured. We didn’t call this sort of thing parkour in my day, we called it acting a fool and it was usually done in a state of high inebriation, if not total intoxication. Every now and then I see a video of one of you guys on the internet and think, “been there, did that, got the stitches.” Other times I think, “been there, did that, and made it look awesome.” So I’m going to tip one back to salute you, kid. Maybe you’ll do the same one day.
FRONTFAIL
he hit the ground with his head front
A great earthquake.
he was an elephant.
elephants do NOT make great pets
I believe it is called a forehead :/
He was SURFING..
..ON HIS FACE!
I think the earth moved to fast for him caught him off guard.
Sneaky bastard does that to me all the time!
Gross. That’s supposed to be funny? The guy is probably paralyzed for the rest of his life.
No. It’s supposed to be fail, and it is.
To complete fault of his own. He should have known better; that’s what makes this hilarious.
Not following your logic.

1 out of 10 videos in this site include people getting hurt… Why do you come in here?
Yes. He’s definitely paralysed. He gets up to go tell the doctors about it.

No he isnt, One of my good friends, he’s still doing this sort of stuff
What sort of stuff? failing ?
ouchy! i would not try it!
I double dog dare ya?.
Nah… nothing more than a fractured skull, a dislocated shoulder, and some fused vertebrae….he’ll walk it off.
This cracking noise…ouch!!!
It’s not a backflip and it’s definitly not a frontflip. This is a gainer fail. <3333
Yes thank you.
as someone who is also on the diving team, this is also called a ‘reverse flip’
Reverse Flip Fail
Gainer Fail
NOT Backflip fail.
yeah, i did a quick search of this thread to see if someone corrected the title, thats a gainer folks, and they’re sweet.
gainer fail

like that gottschalk victim
Did he died?!
(chances are Darwin will get him sooner or later)
NO he will be hit by a meteor
Yes, I see Darwin awards in his near future.
Is this really a FAIL? He was so close to death that I’d rather say this is a WIN…
he defeated the Darwinism? for now..

hahahaha dumb ass lol

….stupid guy…

NOT FUNNY

OMG, i know where that is !!
It’s in Nottingham city center (in the UK)
Hahaha that’s made my day
I live there too! I recognised city hall!
Also proves to me that he didn’t die, or even get very injured… It would have been on the news.
Fail fail.. That’s not a backflip.
you guys misunderstood the noise. Definitely it’s a bag of cheerios being opened.
I call shenanigans. He receives a severe blow to the head at the END of the clip, but it’s clear that he was brain damaged from the very beginning.
Hence, the video must have been uploaded backwords.
He tried to do a gainer but all he did was gain more head trauma.
you cannot add more to the infinite.
Yay finally, a fail in my home town of nottingham.
Are you from nottingham then?
Mansfield originally, I have been training since 2005. But yes, this is Nottingham market place!
hahaha only in america could this happen. what an idiot
It didn’t happen in America, it happened in UK, nottingham. What does that make you?
OHH OHH I know. Is it an idiot. Please tell me I’m right. It is an idiot isn’t it?
damn, you look retarded..
Oh my god.. C’mon, this is not funny! It should’nt be posted here… It shocked me a lot to see that!
I must admit watching this made me cringe but dude, it’s titled backflip fail, he’s standing on concrete and not wearing a helmet. wtf did you expect?
I think he might just have facepalmed his own fail with the ground, simultaneously
i love the shatering bone sound in the morning..
Lol, Nottingham UK
fails the hardest

I know him. =]
I think the problem is simpler than we think. Nice post.
And from that day on they started calling him Voldemort!
