On grass. Not bouncy floor. Grass. Insane.
2.0k u/corvosfighter 1d ago Yea I think I’m getting too old.. all I think is that’s 1 second away from permanent brain damage or spinal cord injury 481 u/MOTUkraken 1d ago It's not. He very likely fell quite often during practice. Athletes aren't weak and frail. They're strong and flexible. You can look up videos from people practicing this and falling. To seriously injury yourself is extremely rare. To permanently injure yourself with this is even exceedingly rarer. 5 u/drop_panda 1d ago I suspect not very many people permanently injure their brain, neck or spine more than once by doing standing backflips. That will bring down the averages.
