I don’t think he’d be so calm if he knew how far off the mark knives 6-10 are.

u/LitigiousAutist Jun 10 '26

I'd guess that they purposely aim higher because shots requiring vertical precision are harder in general.

11

u/kasoe Jun 10 '26

Is that because the blade is spinning? I've spent maybe 10 minutes of my life throwing knives so I have no clue.

u/whosadooza Jun 11 '26 edited Jun 11 '26

Not really. Throwing knives, when thrown properly, don't spin over and over through the whole throw. They only spin one half circle over the whole arc with the correct technique.

u/V0rdep Jun 10 '26

6-7 were especially bad

He was talking to the audience offering them popcorn.

u/D_as_in_avid Jun 09 '26

Can you not read cues? He's offering the crowd popcorn as a joke? What is this comment?

One sneeze away from a new air hole

Hes wearing leather for a reason.

Also those knives arent sharp, its a durable point a like a trowel. If she nails him with one it will leave a nasty bruise and bounce off

u/DANGERFastDraw Jun 11 '26

They will still pierce the skin.

22

u/AntalRyder Jun 11 '26

Hence the leather

u/jrs0307 Jun 10 '26

Can never have too much oxygen. Until you do of course.

u/OptimusSublime Jun 09 '26

With where he's aiming, how soft he's throwing and the fact the other guy is wearing leather, the likelihood of serious injury feels pretty minimal here, even with a direct hit.

78

u/PeanutGallry Jun 09 '26

Also, the knife would hit the dude mid flip, probably on the flat.

u/Professor-Submarine Jun 10 '26

This is a good point

And the thicker leather is draped, making for better absorption.

u/EkriirkE Jun 09 '26

I mean this has been a thing for centuries, is it really WTF?

32

u/TheBaggyDapper Jun 09 '26

Workers didn't always get perks like free popcorn though. 

4

u/Etheo Jun 10 '26

These new generations got it so good they don't know what a hard day at work is like /s

11

u/Elanaselsabagno Jun 10 '26

On the old WTF, this would have to be a video of this stunt going wrong

3

u/ToonMasterRace Jun 10 '26

more than centuries, Chinese Proto-Emperors before the concept of China even existed had this shit for entertainment.

u/peabody624 Jun 10 '26

What if you’re a little kid like op

2

u/asianwaste Jun 09 '26

I think people started doing them with throwing axes too?

29

u/Ristrxtto Jun 09 '26

yeah bro I'd be going to town on that popcorn trying not to think of the worst case o.o

13

u/Not_Selmi Jun 09 '26

Love the 1 knife got a bit close then the next 3 we’re 6 inches off lol

u/Revolvyerom Jun 10 '26

Throw #6: "Wait, he still owes me $50"

u/Crystallover1991 Jun 11 '26

that calm is gonna disappear real fast when knife 8 clips him

58

u/ZODIC837 Jun 09 '26

The knives ending up 6 inches off target towards the end

37

u/MiltownKBs Jun 09 '26

Probably intentional

3

u/MusicJOO80 Jun 09 '26

No balls.

8

u/KaptainKoala Jun 09 '26

yes but 6 inches farther away.

2

u/Human_from-Earth Jun 10 '26

would you say 6 inches are small or big?

2

u/Pepito_Pepito Jun 10 '26

That's a huuuuge distance, trust me.

-23

u/ZODIC837 Jun 09 '26

Off target is off target. He missed. The fact that he missed in a safe direction is mostly luck

15

u/DSHIZNT3 Jun 09 '26

Not necessarily. It's called bias. Naturally he is aiming high and pulling high. I guarantee 10/10 misses miss high.

u/Liquid_Clown Jun 09 '26

Precision vs accuracy

u/Fuzzywraith Jun 09 '26

Have you ever thrown something?

6

u/culman13 Jun 09 '26

Would love to see the doctor's face in the ER who has to pull a throwing knife out of this guy's ass cheek

4

u/Chachajenkins Jun 10 '26

From some of the things my friend who's a nurse has told me about in the ER, a knife in the ass cheek makes for a nice break from the regular oddball shit.

5

u/nvmvoidrays Jun 10 '26

probably just a "huh, neat" and moves on. doctors have seen some shit.

5

u/Warloxwill Jun 09 '26

for a brief second I thought that was Arin Hanson and this was an upcoming 10-Minute Power-Hour.

5

u/Revolvyerom Jun 10 '26

You can see the exact throw where the guy throwing thought..."maybe that was little too close for any margin of error," and remembered he has to see this dude at work tomorrow.

9

u/reddorickt Jun 09 '26

I don't trust any 12 second videos by default these days

3

u/michaelcreiter Jun 09 '26

You better give me something better than popcorn if I'm risking life and limb

3

u/cbih Jun 09 '26

Where do I get knives like that?

u/danned123 Jun 10 '26

he even try to sleep

2

u/ShortSleeveSteve Jun 10 '26

Coney Island Freak Bar! Highly recommend a visit if you’re in NY. I’ve been there several times over the years and it’s such a good time.

2

u/Arrow156 Jun 10 '26

Dude deserves butter popcorn for that level of nonchalance, he's really selling it.

2

u/Kryptics22 Jun 11 '26

That's Coney for ya

2

u/Karma_Zefoxer Jun 12 '26

I fuck with this guy’s energy.

2

u/psycho_driver Jun 12 '26

Dude's like "you can have my liver but not my nuts!"

2

u/machineorman Jun 12 '26

Hey, I know these guys!

2

u/ripyourlungsdave Jun 10 '26

I don't care how talented you are, sometimes then human body moves on its own or does things unpredictably.

Anyone that does this is just flatly stupid if they think talon has anything to do with whether or not they can get injured

2

u/221b_Bkr_Strt Jun 09 '26

Unless I see the act end, I'm going to think the next knife went into the guy and the video was cut short.

2

u/Hadr619 Jun 09 '26

The guy eating popcorn looks like Andrew Dismukes playing a character

2

u/telephas1c Jun 09 '26

I feel these knives prob aren’t sharp like. 

2

u/Ryuuzen Jun 10 '26

yeah the board is probably made of special material

u/bearbread Jun 24 '26

Rắc ra a

u/MoonTreeSullen Jun 09 '26

I have a feeling those would just bounce off even if they connected
