ouch
seems like it did its job anyway
there’s definitely a bounce up — but i can’t tell if the flier actually strikes the ground thru the net on that first impact. Also, that pole gets pulled down, and does it hit the person?
Stupid cowboy hats. You’re in the way!
I’m pretty sure the impact on the second downswing was enough to cause some great pain… ooooch
To me it looks like the flier hit the ground through the net too… Ouch.
I hope he suffers from severe injuries, that would make it even funnier :/
Did he died?
No he flyed
Or flied
Or fried
Cried?
At least he tried
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER
Actually there was a similar accident in the UK a few months back and the guy did die that time.
Support Cable fail (and column), not beam….
Beam Fail, that is a post…
I think he hit the ground…
He twitches like a fish out of the water
Hmmm looks like I have time for some mini doughnuts on the way to work.
I don’t think an extra pound or two will hurt me.
OMG was they ok?

No, that was a different event; in that one the net collapsed before the guy hit it.
I don’t think this is the same incident. A witness in that article said that the net collapsed before the stuntman hit it; in this video, the net clearly collapses as a result of catching the stuntman.
Also, as another commenter has noted, it doesn’t look like the performer in this video hits the ground before most of his downward velocity is stopped.
Nah, he was OK minor injuries only.
Funny, I didn’t know that Failblog was a snuff site.
Stay classy, internets.
(Yes, that does mean he died)
No he didn’t.

Calgary Stampede 2011
Yeah, he survived, and did another show later that day. It just looks painful, and I’m sure it was.
Looked like he was probably alright. As you can see in the slow-mo, it at least bounced him UPWARD before the support failed. So, it cushioned most of his landing. It was just a regular fall after that, since the net was no longer there.
3..2..1.. Oooohh AAHHHHHH!

For future reference: A BEAM is horizontal and a post (the thing in this video) is vertical and a person who shoots himself out of a cannon is an idiot especially when whoever put the post up did a really $hitty job.
Umm…those are columns, not beams. Well, actually, with that loading, they are technically beam-columns. Beams only have flexural loading, columns, axial, beam-coluumns both.

Oh, dear. Where will they ever find another man of the same calibre?
Notice how nobody moves at all to go help him. America, baby
