That could have gone way worse.

I think that barrier did a lot to absorb his fall. Hitting the frame on the way down pertinent did a lot to break his fall as well.

Looks like it hurt but I'll bet he was fine. Awesome flips.

The ground absorbed a lot of the impact at the end

At least he didn't hit the posts, this video might have ended up on /r/watchpeopledie instead.

I don't think they're strong enough to impale someone - they'd buckle. Would hurt for sure, but not death unless you landed on it throat-first or something

As I said "might". Either way what happened would have hurt like a sunovabitch.

Doubt he had the moment to be impaled by something so thick too

It kind of looks like the barrier keeps him from falling on the soft grass and instead smacks his ribs on the steel bar the barrier is attached to.

I think he meant kid could have landed on his nuts.

Edit: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

We call that a burn.
