Very lucky a vehicle was not following behind as he would have been run over with a possible fatal result

Better luck next time, eh?

Darwin was right. The theory of natural selection, means we all have to exhibit certain survival skills, to thrive in this world. Self protection is just one of those skills. Some have it, some do not.

Some people just seem to feel the need to be stupid, and to do very stupid things, and to put themselves In harm's way, for the sake of some sort of stunt. It boggles the mind how little respect some people seem to have for their own lives and bodies.

It looked like he nailed it. Not sure what happened to make him slip. People would have been mildly impressed without the accident. Nothing spectacular. His main fault is a lack of skill.

No, Trump got that

He has probably done back flips before on solid ground, and thought he could do it from a moving songthaew, but physics came into play. Any push force would have been taken away by the vehicle moving away from him.

He has now learnt that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

I hope he didn’t injure himself too much.

"Observers suggested he seemed intoxicated at the time", funniest line in the article 🤣

Seems there was zero "thought" taking place in this pumpkin head.

I give him an 8.5, great try, average dismount, and didn't stick the landing. If he lost any teeth I'd up it to a 9.0, keep practicing!

Looks like the weight in his backpack pulled him off, then forward momentum did a bit of damage too. Learning experience.

American wigger, with a pretty good imitation of the ghetto vernacular.

As the night porter in Macbeth said, alcohol "provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance,".
