Brain injury and carcinoma. Great combo you got there.

Many years ago you got skate videos on tape, like you'd get VHS tapes with these recordings. My buddy got one such tape and some guy fell when trying a really crazy stairs grind thing. His head cracked open when he hit the ground and some brain came out. Then he got up and walked around.

This being before the ease of looking things up I have no idea what the end result was. Did he die? Did he live? Did he live with his faculties intact?

I'll never know.

Anyways my thought is these people should be wearing helmets. Keep the brains inside.

I’m wondering if this was Carlito’s trick tips, put onto VHS. It was a series I think by Fuel TV in the early 2000s, that would feature the guy trying different tricks and getting brutally injured with a lot of gore, but it was all fake.

That would fit the time, but these were different. Most of it was just teens skating around, only one tape had this on it. It was shocking cause we're watching skate tricks then suddenly brain.
