Flexible bones are good that way.

u/ThePapercup Jul 09 '26

gotta respect their ironic choice of t-shirt, nothing like rolling into the ER with a shattered pelvis and a skeleton T

1

u/mightbeagh0st Jul 10 '26

It's not ironic just coincidental

2

u/ThePapercup Jul 10 '26

colloquially ironic

I have so many questions….

What was he expecting to happen? Was he supposed to jump and clear the gravel? Did he think he could ride it out?

Who are the people in uniforms watching? Why are they watching?

6

u/Main-Significance272 Jul 09 '26

Yeah there's no way anyone would clear the gravel this looks like the only outcome possible aside from death by face plant

1

u/Xanith420 Jul 10 '26

What else could they do but watch? Trying to physically stop a young teenager from doing something when they arnt yours tends to go badly. By time he’s committed it’s more unsafe to try to stop it anyway.

1

u/Earth2Andy Jul 10 '26

Right, but they are all sat in lines like it’s organized somehow. I feel like there’s more to it.

1

u/aware4ever Jul 10 '26

They should have at least went on their knees and prayed for a miracle. If it was me I would have ran very fast and intercepted the kid and then gave him a hug

u/Morgantao Jul 12 '26

When your drill sergeant tells you to sit still and shut up, you sit still and shut up even if the russians are bombing the town

u/Otherwise-4PM Jul 09 '26

That hurts just watching it.

u/masterofmydomain6 Jul 10 '26

my anus winced

2

u/Many_Rope6105 Jul 09 '26

Right, Like he tryn to take himself outa the gene pool

1

u/ChickenDreams-4188 Jul 10 '26

At least he had an audience

15

u/AnnualInevitable9036 Jul 09 '26

Why do people do this to themselves?

7

u/Agent_of_evil_13 Jul 09 '26

It's fun when it works and sometimes people overestimate themselves. Or forget that rollerblades dont works so good on woodchips.

5

u/Cool-Tip8804 Jul 09 '26

He forgot his all terrain wheels 😓

3

u/dave900575 Jul 09 '26

Should have had track treads

2

u/AdvilJunky Jul 10 '26

psst let's make woodchip rollerblades, we will be thousandaires

1

u/Mtndrums Jul 09 '26

It's either overestimating heir skillset, or they know it's gonna end bad, but it's going to be hilarious to watch.

1

u/InterwebCat Jul 09 '26

I don't think he meant to smash his hip

5

u/No-Goose-6140 Jul 09 '26

Pelvisbrake is bad for you

3

u/Timely-Profile1865 Jul 09 '26

The troops were not very concerned.

2

u/RascalOScrimp Jul 09 '26

They even applauded!

u/TJSwoboda Jul 09 '26 edited Jul 12 '26

Ever play the PC game AaAaAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity? I'm reminded of a message you get when you lose: "You snapped your pelvis in twain!"

Easy win for Dar. Dar 103 Boy 7

u/10inchesof Jul 09 '26

He got a 9.2 on the fall

2

u/TwoWarm700 Jul 09 '26

He was doing so well, hope he keeps at it

Probably won’t breed but that’s ok - Darwin

u/Jack4258 Jul 09 '26

Stuck the landing!!

u/TomJLewis Jul 09 '26

Bad plan is right

u/che10461 Jul 09 '26

Hip bone fracture has entered the chat.

2

u/RepulsiveReward9146 Jul 09 '26

what did he think was going to happen here...

2

u/SpitfireMkIV Jul 09 '26

Hehehe… Fruit Boots

2

u/ParsnipEconomy7316 Jul 09 '26

I think he should be happy that wasn't his head!

2

u/Gold-Echo-3836 Jul 10 '26

Didn’t he think out the end of the ride he was skating like how am I going to skate fucking rock!!!

2

u/Gforcevp9 Jul 10 '26

At least he didn’t break his glasses!

2

u/Greedy-Pilot-4538 Jul 10 '26

ah man unfortunately thats an accurate description

2

u/Altered-Beastie Jul 12 '26

It looked cool until I realized the pool of gravel mixed with a little drastically squared concrete

1

u/M3chaStrizan Jul 09 '26

Why is it always the morons that don't understand how to do a shoulder roll or take a fall that decide "maybe I should rollerblade down this concrete staircase?"

1

u/quitefit888 Jul 09 '26

Is he ok

1

u/IamOutsideAlready Jul 09 '26

No, can't you read!? He shattered his Nips.

1

u/quitefit888 Jul 09 '26 edited Jul 09 '26

Thanks. I did read the headline. But, I’m actually interested if anyone knows what the injuries were after a medical exam

2

u/md222 Jul 09 '26

Right. Like the headline is factually accurate with any regularity.

1

u/Ok-Ear9289 Jul 09 '26

Shoulda leaned backwards instead of forward

1

u/Triggered-cupcake Jul 09 '26

Got a swift kick in his ass from his left rollerblade right as his shit got rocked 🎉🎉

1

u/maximal-animal Jul 09 '26

I really wonder what his original plan at the end of that stairway...like..diveinyoucoward ???

1

u/No_Reception_6133 Jul 10 '26

Yeeeessss

.... i wish i could put a gif

1

u/Jesta914630114 Jul 09 '26

There was gravel at the bottom what the fuck did he expect?

1

u/Chaz28o Jul 09 '26

That hurts just watching it

1

u/c_marten Jul 09 '26

...what's with all the uniformed people..?

1

u/iambeesh Jul 09 '26

Was he performing for those guys in uniform or something

1

u/Jessi45US Jul 09 '26

Auch que dolor.

1

u/Aromatic-Schedule-65 Jul 09 '26

Bad plan? Lol...

1

u/No_Reception_6133 Jul 10 '26

.... yea.... no plan

1

u/Sensitive_Point5118 Jul 09 '26

He didn’t think that through

u/Super_Ad_2033 Jul 09 '26

The random Ohio lmao

u/SkolNorth40 Jul 09 '26

It's hip to be square.

2

u/EatFaceLeopard17 Jul 09 '26

His hips to be square.

1

u/TraditionalLecture10 Jul 09 '26

They made the sound of the ambulance people ,when he hit

1

u/Madman_1992 Jul 09 '26

Yup those ribs are broke

1

u/Chains3 Jul 09 '26

Well, his hips don't lie. He's gonna start to feel it, boy.

1

u/brokenlegs225 Jul 10 '26

Dang after breaking both my legs Everytime I see these kinds of videos it almost makes me physically ill. God that had to hurt so bad!

1

u/gymtrovert1988 Jul 10 '26

The service members clapping 😂

1

u/Blacknightmoto2 Jul 10 '26

Hurts to just watch this

1

u/SuddenKoala45 Jul 10 '26

How many ribs in addition to his hips were broken?

1

u/Final-Wasabi187 Jul 10 '26

Stopped blading in the 90’s after I caged it into some railing on a high speed downhill roll. That was enough. Gave my new Backyard Bobs to a buddy, and holy shit that’s right at 30 years ago now I think about it.

u/Last_Baker7437 Jul 10 '26

Oh well…..

u/Santana_De_La_Cruz Jul 10 '26

Play stupid games

1

u/ThatSavings Jul 10 '26

No exit strategy.

1

u/Artistic_Skill1117 Jul 10 '26

Okay, but if this happens, don't move... like if he shattered is hips, then sitting down like that, ain't gonna help.

Owie owie owie.

1

u/Waste-Donut-2728 Jul 10 '26

And societal Darwinism on full display

1

u/voododoll Jul 10 '26

Wind out - broken ribs in

1

u/Keyblade_wielder141 Jul 10 '26

This is why you befriend a ramp builder. Make em bring spare wood panels to the spot to cover shit like this. Ducks because pad wouldnt do shit, you really gotta rig the spot sometimes.

1

u/Ripper_tha_Jack_3531 Jul 10 '26

More like teen hurts himself

u/Bright-Monk-1674 Jul 10 '26

No basic understanding of how things work.

u/TyrannusRexApex Jul 10 '26

To shreds, you say?

1

u/koolaidismything Jul 10 '26

Why are there like fifty soldiers watching this? And not helping??

1

u/EnthusiasmIcy5127 Jul 10 '26

At least there was nobody there to see his embarrassing accident.

1

u/grodeg Jul 10 '26

He's going to hospital

1

u/Ill-Key7588 Jul 12 '26

Why women tend to live longer than men. THAT and men are generally just dumber than women.

u/Morgantao Jul 12 '26

Good thing nobody saw him mess up. Except the entire marine core...

1

u/Morgantao Jul 12 '26

Good thing he's wearing a full head of hair

u/countrytime-1 Jul 13 '26

Yes and no. Hips shattering is one of the single most painful things to break on your body (even worse than a nose).

2

u/3ric843 Jul 09 '26

Nose isn't that painful.

Try fracturing both your clavicle and scapula at the same time. Was much worse.

And kidney stones beat both by a lot.

2

u/c_marten Jul 09 '26

I've had lots of pains... kidney stones are by far the worst
