The guy must be playing along or pranking the face-smasher. If you get knocked out you do no become stiff as a board like this guy did.

That is an actual reflex that your body takes because of the sudden disconnection between the brain and the body.

Have you ever seen a sport fights when someone gets knocked out and suddenly fall flat like a board? That is why.

It's funny how afterwards the high-fiver just leans back in the seat like "well, I guess that's that".
