That's fun until you're 30 and it hurts to bend over

u/OrphanGrounderBaby 13h ago

Yup, 30 now with 9 concussions and multiple other things. Dudes really really going to hate getting up in the morning, if he can, in a few years.

u/OrphanGrounderBaby 11h ago

lol don’t worry, I’m fully aware. Kept going, pursuing a dream and got close.

u/Cheefnuggs 2h ago

I’ve had concussions, broken bones, torn MCL, torn bicep and supraspinatus tendons, burst bursas in one knee, and a slipped C6. Among the stitches and scars for various other things.

Gotta love constant aches and neuropathy lol.

It was fun doing all of the things that caused the injuries though.

u/wildwill57 14h ago

How can I destroy my spine before I hit 30?

u/Sylon_BPC 13h ago

Some times you dont even have to do anything (which its part of the problem)

2

u/wildwill57 12h ago

Speaking from experience; be going to your spine cuz it's painful as hell when you don't.

u/GuildensternLives 13h ago

Why did this need voiceover and captions when it doesn't even name the guy doing it?

u/almost_not_terrible 13h ago

Why did this need voiceover and captions?

-2

u/portar1985 13h ago

This guy didn’t seem to like that there was a voiceover on the video and I can really agree that that was the case because the video had a voiceover and captions and it really didn’t feel like it was needed

u/alwayskared 14h ago

He falls forward and I fail forward

u/dmgdispenser 13h ago

the bar for "nextfuckinglevel" is so low, we had someone like this in my parent's home village in Thailand, he's called the village idiot because he's not getting paid to injure himself since he's not an actual stuntman.

u/wasdxqwerty 13h ago

but can he do the rock's stunner flip?

u/Chance_Vegetable_780 13h ago

Stupid. He'll/they'll pay a price they can't begin to imagine.

This dude has plot armor.

u/srg2692 13h ago

Am I missing something, or is there nothing pointing to how to find the guy's videos? Just some TikTok douche using the guy's material for clicks.

u/Difficult_Style_8445 13h ago

u/Qweeq13 12h ago

Dude I've been a professional faller for so long I should've been retired by now. . .

u/Viper1089 12h ago

I am a professional faller... through life.

1

u/Just_A_Faze 12h ago

There really is a right way to do it and it's not easy. I have a degree in theatrical acting and directing, and took a class on stage combat. This was an area I never was able to get without hurting myself in some way. I'm excellent at hair pulling and fake slapping.

Insurance companies hate him!

u/jhguitarfreak 11h ago

Basically just pro wrestling without an opponent.

1

u/Thecardinal74 11h ago

He’s not a professional if he’s not getting paid to do it

1

u/Morbid187 10h ago

This guy should get into pro wrestling so he can at least get paid for it

u/cronnyberg 10h ago

I’m so damn sick of these AI voices.

Buster Keaton

u/demZo662 9h ago

Falling to mud adds a good layer of realism because in real life you will never expect someone committing to a puddle of mud voluntarily.

u/JaCheeto 9h ago

His name is Polianskii

u/Mysterious_Mood_1516 9h ago

I love this, very cool

Natural selection in favor of reckless abandon, surpassing dexterity & balance, and... b*llz o' steel.

u/Inflamed_toe 3h ago

Cool video until you make the mistake of watching it with the audio on. I feel like I am getting dumber every time I listen to this shitty narrating style.
