A friend in high school likes to do something like this. One time, he ran towards the wall so he can jump on it and push himself back to do a kick. He did it, but his MP3 fell out of his pocket.

Also, this is the same person, he tried to showoff in a similar fashion. He ended up bailing while trying to jump over a table in the cafeteria. Anyways, when he landed, he started having a seizure.

[–]starslinger72 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I would guess the plan was to jump off the chair and land on his feet on the other side. He just didnt push off the chair properly which caused it to slide.

[–]alclarkey 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In which case he would have broken his ankles.

[–]starslinger72 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

there would be the possibility of that happening sure, but that was not any real hight to land from. even his husky for should have been fine assuming of course he didnt land on the side of his foot or something.

Haha it's funny cause he's fat.

[–]bloort 40 points41 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think a more detailed analysis is in order here. Fat kids don't spend a lot of time in the gym in high school (I concede it is a stereotype, but still), so our subject would be largely unfamiliar with how slick the surface of the basketball court could potentially prove to be (and ultimately was). This is the origin of the now ludicrous notion that a regular folding chair that most school districts have on hand these days (feet of old rubber that had dried out and is therefore unsuitable to afford the necessary traction) would provide a viable launching pad for greatness. To wit: clearing the badminton net in a heroic leap, thereby engendering the awe and delight of the other fat kids and theatre dorks who stumbled across the empty gym. A gym sweetly free of torment, hazing and ridicule. Until fatty-boombalaty goes for the ultimate daredevil trick for his achievement level and completely falls flat.

TL;DR: Haha it's funny cause he's fat.

[–]SetToGeek 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

To be fair, even if the chair didn't move, I don't think he had great chances of clearing it and landing upright.

[–]logicallyillogical 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I was just quoting the Hangover part 1. But, very good analysis. You may have any upvote.

Looking at it i'd say that he failed because he didn't commit. If he'd leaned into it and gone with his own momentum the chair wouldn't have slid away like that.

Just sayin'...

Not to gloat but I jumped over a net around that height after having a couple beers and some ribs 2 weeks ago. Perfect landing first attempt. Of course I'm in shape and not a douche. But I do gloat online so...

Obviously anything seems like a good idea after watching any Jackass movie (1-3 and in between). It's movies like that give fat kids like this hope to find their wings and its gif's like this that inspires everyone to try and video tape them doing it.

We used to jump the tennis net on our skateboards in highschool, but there were people sitting on the net weighing it down. By the end of the season the net was stretched right to the ground and we were banned from the tennis courts.

This is specifically why you need to tie down the bottom of the net too. The bottom ties are for fat people.

When he has friends who keep telling him it's a good idea just so they can watch him fail catastrophically...

To quote Mythbusters, "Let's egg him on until he hurts himself".

And when your friends say "Hold on, let me get the camera", your brain should just click in that it's a bad idea...

I did the same thing back in high school, and it seemed like a good idea when there was both a volleyball net and a chair conveniently located in the same place. Only when i did it the chair didn't slip but i didn't make it, the net did however fling me around causing me to land on my feet like a boss though.

[–]reebies -1 points0 points ago

Hey, be fair. Said person might have done this purposely.

I did things like this for friends video projects. I have a relatively high tolerance for pain, so I in one case I ran full speed into a stop sign for a comedic segment in a video. So, just because someone is doing something seemingly stupid, it might have been purposeful.
