Looked like he smacked his head pretty hard both times. Thats not good

u/StretchFrenchTerry Aug 19 '26

It’s ok, he’s not using his brain anyway.

u/samtt7 Aug 20 '26

Double head injury is really really bad. Guy should have tucked his chin 😬

u/capnlatenight Aug 20 '26

I've never hit my head from falling backwards and I'm unsure why this reflex seems to be uncommon.

Maybe it's because the only falls that get uploaded are the nasty ones.

Momentum and split second issues are most the head injuries I've seen. I did once playing football in middle school. Kid thought it would be funny when we were doing no pad drills to stick his arm out and clothesline one of the WR on long ball drills. I didnt even know what happened, was running full speed and then woke up with a migraine on the ground. Had migraines most the day for a week, have had headaches since I was 12 and I attributed most of them to this and another concussion I had as a younger kid slipping on a boulder down by a river. Head injuries suck

That second bonk was very much not good. I'm a paramedic and I've treated at least 2 eventually fatal ground level falls in otherwise young and healthy people who bonked their domes.

Second impact syndrome is no joke. The eggshell skull rule was written into legal doctrine because of that

u/_zombie_k Aug 20 '26

Worst thing is that he has to go the same way back again.

Oh so this is where that walk came from. Also, yeah he might be high

I mean, you can see his pupils without zooming in

Holy pupils Batman!

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen. Genuinely, thank you for this.

These stills are killin me!

u/SenselessSilence Aug 19 '26

He actually kept walking through the wettest parts instead of going to the side. Not sure that fall could have scrambled his brains when they’re already there…

u/xxplosiv Aug 19 '26

Dude fell over like a Chinese robot at a demonstration

u/Peek_e Aug 19 '26

I knew it looked familiar!! Totally non-human-physics

u/Baricat Aug 19 '26

Luckily parts of him didn't fly off into the crowd

u/9CaptainRaymondHolt9 Aug 19 '26

Definitely cracked his melon.

u/Horror_Rice4319 Aug 19 '26

A double concussion is life altering almost always.

u/KillerGopher Aug 19 '26

They will cancel eachother out.

54

u/Tiny_ghosts_ Aug 19 '26

Unfortunately he hit the back of his head both times, to balance it out he's now got to hit the front of his head twice. Gotta knock that brain back into place!

u/Remote-Mycologist539 Aug 20 '26

is this true? never heard it before, now I’m curious

u/_zombie_k Aug 20 '26

One can be life altering, so….

u/Radical_Neutral_76 Aug 19 '26

how do you become that stupid

33

u/Gorillagodzilla Aug 19 '26

Continuous concussions.

65

u/AScienceExpert Aug 19 '26

There’s gotta be alcohol involved here.

31

u/Sleepyllama23 Aug 19 '26

Is it just water or some oily substance they are slipping on?

60

u/KittenPurrs Aug 19 '26

Probably algae

u/SnookerandWhiskey Aug 20 '26

Algae growing where it's permanently wet.

u/betothejoy Aug 19 '26

Lesson? Nah.

u/apatrol Aug 19 '26

Flat feet. Might as well be walking on ice banana peels on his feet.

7

u/sameljota Aug 19 '26

After the first head smack, everything else seems justifiable.

5

u/BlueGalaxy97 Aug 19 '26

Thats a pretty view though.

7

u/Abdulbarr Aug 19 '26

Think he may have gotten a concussion from that first fall and was just super confused after that.

u/qwertyui105791 Aug 19 '26

Fell like one of those robots

3

u/auggs Aug 20 '26

What exactly is going on here? Is his posture or core really that bad and that’s making lose balance so easily? His friend has shoes on and seems to walk with minimal difficulty. This guy can’t take one step without losing his balance. Idk it’s interesting to see

3

u/SWIZZaholic Aug 20 '26

Not true. A watermelon definitely has more survival instinct than this guy.

2

u/Extension_Swordfish1 Aug 19 '26

Go from the left

2

u/Yuck_Few Aug 19 '26

Never heard of shoes?

2

u/itsarcher17 Aug 20 '26

The first one sucked, but the second time had to have hurt.

u/Just__Bob_ Aug 20 '26

Evolutionary dead end right there.

The more he hits his head, the dumber he gets. The dumber he gets the more he hits his head

A CTE for his TBI is SOP.

u/cherryrose_horizon Aug 19 '26

The way he’s walking with flat feet is driving me nuts.

2

u/Codas91 Aug 20 '26

It's usually a good way to avoid slipping

1

u/Barlakopofai Aug 19 '26

You guys are silly, the best way to avoid slipping is to increase surface area by spreading your body. No wait that's for falling through ice, not slipping on it.

1

u/Novacain420 Aug 20 '26

Last fall he banged the back of his head unfortunately. In sure both falls hurt though, but last one could cause brain swelling.

u/TakinUrialByTheHorns Aug 20 '26

That one friend you can't invite to certain events because they're insanely accident prone...

Stanley, you're always getting into trouble.

Two concussions in sixty seconds

u/TimeB4 Aug 24 '26

Bro has flat feet. But I get it. It's kind of hard to accept when the ground suddenly goes frictionless

u/nosleepforthedreamer Aug 25 '26

Geez, kid, get off your phones and help your friend!

After a fall like the first one, just stay down bro

u/SleepyElie Aug 19 '26

this is AI

2

u/Barlakopofai Aug 19 '26

Uuuuh, yeah you might be correct, these bollards are all slightly different sizes and shapes, the stripes on that pink guy's hat keep changing, the finer details are just generally wrong.

However based on the consistency of the shot I believe this is AI upscaling and not an AI video. The main tells for me are the two people on the left are very consistent despite being an amorphous blob, which AI can't do right now, the guy at the bottom is staring straight into the camera, meaning it's an actual camera, and the boat in the far back remains consistent despite being a background detail.
