Don't listen to him, kid. You can be an invertebrate if you want.

[–]rushingfox 0 points1 point ago

He was just jumping at the chance to be one.

[–]MissMidnight 18 points19 points ago

Made me flinch a grimace. Uugh, looks painful.

[–]Sad_Homo_Moment 13 points14 points ago

I've actually done something similar on a trampoline. It doesn't hurt like you think it would, but the following panic filled minute(s) when you can't breath in correctly is fucking horrific.

[–]r361k 13 points14 points ago

holy. fuck. this looks like the most painful thing ive seen on here.

[–]XeNoGeAr78 1 point2 points ago

It's okay, I don't think he can feel it anymore.

[–]GoodGuyAnusDestroyer 12 points13 points ago

Is he ok? Is he now wheelchair bound?

[–]oOmoonyOo 1 point2 points ago

I remember reading that he was fine.

[–]MillaMia 2 points3 points ago

It's amazing what the human body can bounce back from.

[–]wcdude18 27 points28 points ago

Gumby, you're drunk. Get off the trampoline.

[–]OMROKER 6 points7 points ago

Hyper extension in da house...

[–]Lychees 6 points7 points ago

Holy fucking shit that was horrific

[–]HostileIguana 6 points7 points ago

He's fine. You can see he's wincing and crying in pain and moving his legs, so you know he's not dead or even paralyzed. Still, I don't care what Sad_Homo_Moment says, that shit looks like it fucking HURT ಠ_ಠ

[–]LaughingFlame 5 points6 points ago

Pop goes the vertebrae!

[–]AngryEchoSix 5 points6 points ago

The amount of cringes I just produced is immeasurable....

[–]EmperorDPants 7 points8 points ago

S-S-S-S-SPINAL BREAKER!

[–]thegingest 3 points4 points ago

Walk it off.

[–]BTE 3 points4 points ago

I did that once, worst pain of my life.

[–]Garizondyly 3 points4 points ago

He broken.

[–]Bobfigio 3 points4 points ago

Holy fuck, I did that while doing my first double back off of high bar. Hurt like a bitch, but gymnasts are flexible so I wasn't seriously injured or anything.

[–]viper9172 3 points4 points ago

Everyone, calm your amazing titties, he didn't snap his spine, he just got a... Really... Bad fracture

I think.

[–]SimilarImage 7 points8 points ago

[–]spartandude 2 points3 points ago

Ow, ow ow ow ow.

[–]LettingGo_Part1 2 points3 points ago

I was a gymnast for 9 years. I did something similar once. I was coming down from a front flip with a twist, and knew I didn't have enough air to land back up on my feet. I went to land on my knees, and I did.. mid spin. My lower half stayed stationary but my upper half kept spinning. It hurt like no tomorrow and knocked the wind out of me. I will never forget the sound of all the crackling my back and spine made when it all happened.

[–]X_Monster_Dude_X 2 points3 points ago

I like tosh.0 too

[–]Copathain 1 point2 points ago

I see this on a weekly basis. Harmonic mixture of ooh's and aaw's.

[–]Clb82 1 point2 points ago

Oh man!!!! Everytime I see this, i can feel it in my back! Fukkkk,

[–]Cynical_Bastard_ 1 point2 points ago

Ahh yes, The Spine-snapper.

[–]Carithian 1 point2 points ago

Hilarious!!!!

[–]Rysdad 0 points1 point ago

Head-Up-The-Ass, The Hard Way, Difficulty 2.9

[–]EIement 1 point2 points ago

For anyone wondering if he's ok, in the original video posted on YouTube the person said that he broke his back, but is in perfectly fine condition now.

[–]Cowmanfred 1 point2 points ago

I don't know why I found this hilarious.

[–]EmoRedneck 1 point2 points ago

Is there video of this?

EDIT: Nevermind, found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeXsLL0eiZg

[–]FistysPizza 0 points1 point ago

Fella in the background rustled awake by the unmistakable sound of a back snapping.

[–]trolli_baba 1 point2 points ago

this breaks the back

[–]aeoliany 0 points1 point ago

only off a diving board into water doing that spins

[–]SubZero_Karma0124 0 points1 point ago

It must of been loud, look at the dude in the back jump up.

[–]trust_the_corps 0 points1 point ago

This is the footage from the experiment where that was determined.

[–]roblay 0 points1 point ago

Should I be concerned that this is somewhat humorous to me?

[–]PISS_OUT_MY_DICK 0 points1 point ago

I actually did this on a trampoline, when it was wet after a rainstorm. It really fucking hurts to breath for around 2 minutes, but afterwards, it's a-ok. It's pretty amazing how your body can survive bending like that.

[–]AnomalousX12 0 points1 point ago

And that's why you're not supposed to land on your knees in gymnastics. Feet, seat, or back. Them's the rules.

[–]NarrowKS 0 points1 point ago

As someone who can do that naturally: "What a pussy."

[–]BeerLaoMakesMeHorny 0 points1 point ago

Needs to do some core exercises.

[–]DrSusset 0 points1 point ago

This kills the back

[–]icky_fingers 0 points1 point ago

I will do everything and anything to never feel that.

[–]pissdotpoor 0 points1 point ago

this is how Joe Swanson got his wheels
