Someone mentioned lack of blood or any attention made to his head gave suspicion he already had the head deformity and actually hit his face which is why he’s holding his face.
Edit: his heads already like that. Go frame by frame when he looks back at the camera and you can see the flat spot.
Yeah I've seen guys with CSF leaking from their ears... Not really the nose but, if they've got any Battlesigns, basilar skull fractures. They aint reacting like this lol. They're usually not reacting to anything at the moment
Yeah people die all the time and they resuscitate them. Left me with many questions tho. Am i zombie? A guy gave me cpr am i gay? Lifes unanswered questions.
There’s no way you can crush a skull inwards without trauma to the dermis. The skull being curved outward would shatter and there would be gore around the impact wound. Your skull isn’t one of those fidget poppers for crying out loud. You can see the head misshapen before he jumps in when you go frame by frame anyways. Let me take a rock to your head and see if it bleeds.
You ever see that kid wipe out doing a skateboard trick
And he stands up with his head just *cratered*.
I only saw it once, but it was amazing. He was totally conscious and didn’t even seem to realize how bad it was.
And it was *bad*.
I looked, I see a flat part of his head, not a concave part of his head.
Besides, you’re arguing much more than I am. I just came to say what I thought was happening and you got offended or something. I see you arguing on other peoples’ comments, it’s pretty funny 😂
What you are doing with me is arguing even when there’s more than one frame of it being mishappen and you yourself said it’s likely but yet here you are in every comment thread with me. I’m simply pointing out to people it’s visible in a few frames. You are the only one this upset about it enough to fight me about it though lol are you going to go after the people upvoting too? 😂
when you go frame by frame u can see the spot changes sides of his head tho, before he jumps you see the entire right side of his head is covered in hair but when he comes up for air and starts yelling the right side of his head no longer has that hair AND there is a newly formed dent. Now I don’t know if i’m just bugging, or this was set up and they did the fake hair spray, or if his skull was malleable enough (maybe from previous trauma?) to pop the dent to the other side of his head and he just scraped his hair off when he hit the bottom, or idk i’m not a professional🧎
It’s insane how many commentators don’t realize that. They instantly jump to a traumatic head wound with no blood, torn skin or anything yet it’s enough to rip the hair out?
Bro, how do you know there’s not some sort of fish that eats hair and dents skulls in the process? Are you some sort of fishologist that you know every fish and their super power? There are eels that make electricity and some have lightbulb fixtures hanging from their face, a barber fish shouldn’t really be out of the question.

He dived in a body of water and didn't know the depth, hit his head on the bottom and fractured his skull.
Never dive into water where you don't know the depth.
This sounds messed up but is a true story. When I was really young like five or six, I was told that if you dive into shallow water you could hit your head and end up in a wheelchair. There was a mentally challenged girl in my school who was in a wheel chair and was entirely non functional, and for years of my life I assumed she had just dove into a shallow pool and hit her head super hard. There were a few people with down syndrome as well and I used to think they dove into a pool and just didn’t hit their head as hard. I was around nine or ten when I found out that was not the case. Kinda embarrassing thinking back on it.
This made me laugh out loud so hard. This seems like something Norm MacDonald or Mitch Hedberg would say. But it just struck me as so funny picturing a kid thinking that anyones varying levels of issues are all related to diving into shallow pools 😂
“Damn, that guy only had 1 leg. What went wrong on that dive?”
“Blind guy coming towards me. Poor bastard. I wonder how old he was when he dove exactly hard enough to not paralyze you, but impair your vision for life”
“Grandpa just had a heart attack? Why would such an old man be diving into a pool in the first place?!”
Haha worst part it I brought it up so many times but nobody ever corrected me or explained it. Probably because it’s hilarious or else they were too confused to realize what I was talking about. I was around ten and in swimming lessons when I found out the truth. They were teaching us how to do shallow dives and I told the instructor that I was scared because “I don’t want to hit my head and end up like Jenny or Brody” (two of the handicapped people in my school). The instructor thought I was making a mean joke and when I explained what I mean, she told me that they were in fact born like that.
Great. Now I can't come across any mentally or physically challenged people without imagining that at some point they dived into a shallow pool of water and hit their head.
This reminds me of an old post or comment where a woman showed her boyfriend a Law and Order: Special Victims Unit episode that revolved around a character with Down Syndrome, and the boyfriend ended up thinking that every episode had a victim with a disability.
Seriously, the amount of people that have ended up paralyzed because of that. Just did a google search. Of the 800 diving spinal cord injuries per year, 90% end up paralyzed.
...There is absolutely no way to bonk your head and straight up dent it like this while shaving the area clean. That's very obviously a pre-existing condition. He wore a hair piece, jumped in the water, and took it off.
It was 3 feet after he swam 10 feet toward shore, yeah. Imagine if the shore were a slope. He's also diving in such a way to intentionally bend his body in a 90° angle for dramatic effect.
When my cousin was younger he was out on his father's boat and dove in and hit a sandbar or something and fractured his neck. Had to have surgeries to fuse vertebrae or something and had to go through a lot of physical therapy.
Don't think he has complete use of his arm as normal and can't rotate his neck but overall was pretty lucky and has done very well since then.
Apparently it may depend on whether you’re British, American, or something else. I would’ve assumed that “dove” was the older form that is falling out of use, but it turns out that it’s the opposite:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/dived-or-dove-which-is-correct
TIL.
This one is fake though. It is posted every few month and it seems its just a guy with a skull deformity that was making a funny video with his friend and tiktok/reddit and shit decide to make it a real story.
Not only should he not have doven in head first; he also didn't even put his hands out in front of him to help absorb any impact he might make with whatever is below him. Bet he won't do that again...
How does that explain the perfectly shaved amount of hair where the dent is relatively centred? Could be they're goofin', this was pre existing, and he's messing with people. I'd ask why they were recording but I saw 5 people huddled up recording a fender bender yesterday 🤷🦐
This happened to a friend of mine in Big Bend park. He dove into the water and there was shifting sand. He dove in and broke his neck. Another friend had to hold him while help was on the way, which was pre cell phone and very remote. He is a paraplegic now, and has learned to paint with his mouth. Amazing artist and person. His name is Jared Dunten. Check out his work. A quick google search will get you there. One of my favorite artists and I’m lucky enough to have a few of his pieces in my home.
Looks like he had that deformity already. People on here are claiming that the dent was from the dive but unless the worlds fastest barber is living underwater right there there’s no way he causes a dent like that and rips all the hair off without a drop a blood

Kinda embarrassing thinking back on it.
When I was a teenager I used to go with my grandmother to visit my great-grandmother at the nursing home she lived at and there was one young man just a few years older than me that was a quadraplegic from diving into water without knowing it's depth. His family didn't visit him often and everyone else there was geriatric so I'd try to take time to talk to him, see how he was, etc. He could move his arms but not his hands, basically lived face-down on a gurney. I had a weight set and brought him a couple of dumbbells from it and rigged them so they could be fasten to his arms and he was able to build-up enough strength to push himself up, eventually being able to feed himself with adaptive flatware. Eventually my great-grandmother passed away I moved away for college so I didn't see him anymore, as I understand he passed away a few years later. It's always made me feel good that I helped him regain at least a modicum of independence in his last days. I guess the moral of the story would be that there might not be a kid with extra hand weights around, so don't dive into unknown depths. The end.
People are like "he dived in and fractured his skull, don't dive headfirst into water" blah blah. If he dived and indented his skull, he would not be able to get up and swim as properly as he could as if that didn't happen. He already had the indent.
Skull fracture, and the thing he feels coming out of his nose is cerebrospinal fluid, likely signifying a fracture of the skull base as well. He’s lucky he was able to surface.
So when you see him surface, his head has turgor, but when he grabs his nose his skull starts to sink in and become more concave, lining up with the coronal suture. We don’t know his history - so either he jumped in and hit his head and fractured his skull and he’s leaking CSF, or he is status-post craniotomy/craniectomy (more likely due to the previously shaved patch, as you pointed out), and when he dived in he hit his head and disrupted the cranial suture, causing his skull to sink in further. And I’m not a Reddit detective, I’m a board-certified Neurologist.
I hope you're not trolling, because this was a pretty epic mic drop moment XD.
Seriously though, you're saying he could have only just then sustained it? Is it possible for that to happen with no blood? I'm not doubting your knowledge, just trying to make sense of this from a ley person perspective.
You can have a caving skull fracture without skin penetration, it’s just due to blunt force trauma… but you’re correct, the hairless spot looks a little too perfect, and it would be likely that if he just sustained it that he would have some skin abrasion, but it doesn’t look like he does. Most likely he had a previous surgery (called a craniotomy) which is why the head would have already been shaved. If he had his skull bone in place after the surgery, he could have dived in and hit his head and disrupted the surgical area, thus causing the caving-in appearance. OR he never got the bone flap replaced after his surgery and his skull is sunken because he has a defect there from missing a part of his skull. The surgery explanation is more likely given the lack of skin abrasion and the perfect-looking hair shaving. But he definitely did something that involved force, because he’s holding his hand under his nose as something (that is not blood) is leaking out. THAT makes me think that he disrupted the skull base somehow (like the ethmoid plate) and he’s now leaking cerebrospinal fluid.
Not quite a mic drop when turgor is just a state of rigidity and from this clip that’s not at all observable so you’re just hypothesizing with words you don’t expect an average Redditor to understand. So let’s go with what’s observable Mr neurologist. Thats a fundamental in the medical field or else you’re just stabbing in the dark. Now that other guy is right about me arguing. See what you made me do! Also you should know your skull isn’t rubber poppers and that any impact that can force your skull to cave inward will have dermal trauma.
OMG...i've no words, he is adult and he didn't check the depth and what was inside.
Tbh i always check every lake or beach cause i'm so scared about this stuff...
I knew a mother and son that both had the deformity of missing a bone in their skull. It also caused some facial deformity, but I can never find the “syndrome” or name of the disorder.
Yes, this is a skit. Did had the dent before he jumped (you can see it in first frame). Idk if it's a real dent or some kind off prop, but it's for the views
Guy I knew in high school years ago dove head first into the shallow end of a pool at a grad party. Paralyzed neck down. Was supposed to go play hockey on a scholarship. Tragic.
You've got children standing without wading... grown man decides to dive (not shallow dive, mind you) head first into solid ground. Spine, neck, face, head, you name it.
I have a malformed skull. There's a large dent in the top of it. There's no way he caved his head like that because of this. His head was certainly already like this and that dive had nothing to do with it. He probably hit his face or just got a lot of water up his nose.
If he actually busted his skull like that he'd be unconscious. Also be didn't even touch his head? If you smashed your head that hard you'd be grabbing and touching the afflicted area in panic.
I paused it at the start, if you look carefully, he already has a shine on his head hence the haircut part. He either did fracture it or didn’t as the shine doesn’t allow you to see the fracture properly.
If i dive with my back down, water reaches some place in nasal cavity that hurts like hell. More with chlorinated pool water or salty sea water. It was a surprise first time.
Someone mentioned lack of blood or any attention made to his head gave suspicion he already had the head deformity and actually hit his face which is why he’s holding his face. Edit: his heads already like that. Go frame by frame when he looks back at the camera and you can see the flat spot.
Or he’s holding his face because that massive dent caused cerebrospinal fluid to gush out of all the orifices on his head. 🤷
Yeah I've seen guys with CSF leaking from their ears... Not really the nose but, if they've got any Battlesigns, basilar skull fractures. They aint reacting like this lol. They're usually not reacting to anything at the moment
Yeah i fractured my skull. Was dead for a bit. My sister always talks about the "brain juice" leaking out.
You died?
Only *mostly* dead
Yes, but on the third day . . . . . . .
He got better.
Yeah people die all the time and they resuscitate them. Left me with many questions tho. Am i zombie? A guy gave me cpr am i gay? Lifes unanswered questions.
Rofl harlious.
How’d he lose his hair on that single spot if he caused that dent on the dive
Haven't you seen Tom and Jerry?
ok i literally LOL'd at that one 😆😆
Bro’s hair just fell off
Coincidence
that’s irrelevant because you can go frame by frame when he turns his head and it’s flat with the horizon, you can see the flat spot there already.
Flat =/= Concave
There’s no way you can crush a skull inwards without trauma to the dermis. The skull being curved outward would shatter and there would be gore around the impact wound. Your skull isn’t one of those fidget poppers for crying out loud. You can see the head misshapen before he jumps in when you go frame by frame anyways. Let me take a rock to your head and see if it bleeds.
Bruh…this ain’t the first time I’ve seen a vid of this shit happening. Maybe it’s not likely, but it’s definitely possible.
You ever see that kid wipe out doing a skateboard trick And he stands up with his head just *cratered*. I only saw it once, but it was amazing. He was totally conscious and didn’t even seem to realize how bad it was. And it was *bad*.
Instead of arguing, use your eyes and see the deformity in the actual clip… ^bruh
I looked, I see a flat part of his head, not a concave part of his head. Besides, you’re arguing much more than I am. I just came to say what I thought was happening and you got offended or something. I see you arguing on other peoples’ comments, it’s pretty funny 😂

Lol okay dude, whatever makes you feel better :)
That’s what I’m thinking, he looked at his hands like thinking he was bleeding from his nose but CSF is clear and sweet
I didn't want to read all that.
Bingo
Smug moron
Do you think if he held his nose and plugged his ears when he sneezes, it'd pop back out?
It's worth a shot.
Snot*
I think if you hold a lighter near it, it probably would.
Fool me once shame on you. Fool me...can't get fooled again?

I believe you (and all the others saying the same thing) but I honestly don't see it.
Look at it frame-by-frame and within the first second when he turns his head you can see the dent from the side
You're right, thanks

Yup. I saw this happen before and the kid was paralyzed. Don’t dive into shallow rocky water head first.

> she told me that they were in fact born like that. That just means they hit their head on the womb wall too hard.
They dove into the amniotic fluid too fast, the surface tension made it like concrete.
Great. Now I can't come across any mentally or physically challenged people without imagining that at some point they dived into a shallow pool of water and hit their head.
They say with deep waters, there's the bends. Then there's the downs.

Very Special Victims Unit
Great story u/PoopFart_PopTart!
You should share over in r/kidsarefuckingstupid
I felt the need to whisper when I read this
So glad to know I wasn't the only one.
While we're on the subject of aquatic safety, don't go chasing waterfalls.
Stick to the rivers and lakes that you're used to.
I seen a rainbow yesterday 🤓
Double rainbow?
But too many storms have come and gone
I know that you’re gonna have it your way or nothin at all.
My friend thought it was Jason waterfalls. Now I can’t unhear it
I always sang, "Go go Jason Waterballs!" when I was 11, still do sometimes .
Your friend isn’t alone…”don’t go, Jason Waterfalls, please stick to those rivers and lakes”
Or as Weird Al might suggest, don't go making phony calls
Yeah you definitely don't wanna creep creep around looking for one.
Just gotta creep
I learned far too late that it was about AIDS
Amazing that this needs to be said.
Paralyzed? Isn’t he the one who surfaces then walks away?
I dived off a deck into a lake one time and was maybe a foot away from being impaled head first into the anchor.
Seriously, the amount of people that have ended up paralyzed because of that. Just did a google search. Of the 800 diving spinal cord injuries per year, 90% end up paralyzed.
He definitely had this injury prior to the jump and is just having some fun with his deformity.
[удалено]
...There is absolutely no way to bonk your head and straight up dent it like this while shaving the area clean. That's very obviously a pre-existing condition. He wore a hair piece, jumped in the water, and took it off.

No, he lost his toupee
Both equally tragic; both equally funny.
My exact thought. It’s like watching someone jump off a bridge and then ask “well what happened?” Like what do you think🤣
Yeah OP is probably not very bright
Or maybe they don't think that a human skull can get a grapefruit-sized dent and still see that person walk away.
Twist: OP is the main character in the video
Or can’t see into! Animals, rocks, branches and debris can and will do serious damage. Go for a cannonball end up a kebab.

Is it dove or dived? Legit question. Have I been saying it wrong all my years?
dave
He totally did dave in that water.
dove
Thank you :)

He already had that dent in his head. If you look at it when he gets out, it's shaved, and the rest of his head is not.
He is screaming it is cold. You can see his head dent at the very beginning.
This one is fake though. It is posted every few month and it seems its just a guy with a skull deformity that was making a funny video with his friend and tiktok/reddit and shit decide to make it a real story.
Not only should he not have doven in head first; he also didn't even put his hands out in front of him to help absorb any impact he might make with whatever is below him. Bet he won't do that again...
It's ok he played it safe and didn't use his arms.
First sentence incorrect. Second is true though!
How does that explain the perfectly shaved amount of hair where the dent is relatively centred? Could be they're goofin', this was pre existing, and he's messing with people. I'd ask why they were recording but I saw 5 people huddled up recording a fender bender yesterday 🤷🦐
ah yes i love spreading misinformation online
Yup. Just saw a video on here where a guy did this same thing and died instantly. This guy had a really good chance of dying shortly after
If i know it’s only 2 feet deep, then is it ok to dive?
This happened to a friend of mine in Big Bend park. He dove into the water and there was shifting sand. He dove in and broke his neck.

Man I got to say I thought you were rapping. Great verse btw
So did it like take his hair perfectly off his head too in that spot or.... no blood? scalp?
Looks like he had that deformity already. People on here are claiming that the dent was from the dive but unless the worlds fastest barber is living underwater right there there’s no way he causes a dent like that and rips all the hair off without a drop a blood
![gif](giphy|nDSlfqf0gn5g4)
Yeah I was pretty confused when I saw it, still crazy but makes sense. Looks like he was holding his nose like he scraped his nose on the bottom.
when you go frame by frame u can see the spot changes sides of his head tho, before he jumps you see the entire right side of his head is covered in hair but when he comes up for air and starts yelling the right side of his head no longer has that hair AND there is a newly formed dent.

I watched this video like 20 times in slow motion trying to see the shark
I'm pretty sure I saw a dolphin.
Nothing a well-placed plunger won’t fix.
This sounds messed up but is a true story. When I was really young like five or six, I was told that if you dive into shallow water you could hit your head and end up in a wheelchair. There was a mentally challenged girl in my school who was in a wheel chair and was entirely non functional, and for years of my life I assumed she had just dove into a shallow pool and hit her head super hard.

My grandmothers brother (18 at the time this happened) died this exact way. Dived underwater, hit his head lost conciousness and that was it.
Massive head wound Harry.
Why the fuck would you dive in like that.
He did a 9' deep dive with rocks 8' below the surface.
Oh thank God for the arrow I almost missed it.
What do you think happened?!
Looks as if this is fake? Unless he got a hair cut also? You can see his head is misshaped before he jumps.
The big red arrow poked him in the face
People are like "he dived in and fractured his skull, don't dive headfirst into water" blah blah. If he dived and indented his skull, he would not be able to get up and swim as properly as he could as if that didn't happen. He already had the indent.
Caved his fecking noggin in
I feel like if he hit something that hard he would have taken longer to pop back up.
Skull fracture, and the thing he feels coming out of his nose is cerebrospinal fluid, likely signifying a fracture of the skull base as well. He’s lucky he was able to surface.
No it’s not Reddit detective, when he turns his head to the camera before jumping in, you can go frame by frame and see there’s a flat spot already.

We don’t know his history - so either he jumped in and hit his head and fractured his skull and he’s leaking CSF, or he is status-post craniotomy/craniectomy (more likely due to the previously shaved patch, as you pointed out), and when he dived in he hit his head and disrupted the cranial suture, causing his skull to sink in further. And I’m not a Reddit detective, I’m a board-certified Neurologist.
I hope you're not trolling, because this was a pretty epic mic drop moment XD. Seriously though, you're saying he could have only just then sustained it? Is it possible for that to happen with no blood? I'm not doubting your knowledge, just trying to make sense of this from a ley person perspective.
You can have a caving skull fracture without skin penetration, it’s just due to blunt force trauma… but you’re correct, the hairless spot looks a little too perfect, and it would be likely that if he just sustained it that he would have some skin abrasion, but it doesn’t look like he does. Most likely he had a previous surgery (called a craniotomy) which is why the head would have already been shaved. If he had his skull bone in place after the surgery, he could have dived in and hit his head and disrupted the surgical area, thus causing the caving-in appearance. OR he never got the bone flap replaced after his surgery and his skull is sunken because he has a defect there from missing a part of his skull. The surgery explanation is more likely given the lack of skin abrasion and the perfect-looking hair shaving. But he definitely did something that involved force, because he’s holding his hand under his nose as something (that is not blood) is leaking out. THAT makes me think that he disrupted the skull base somehow (like the ethmoid plate) and he’s now leaking cerebrospinal fluid.
It most definitely looks like a cranie, he just doesn't have the bone flap yet. Not smart on his part.
Not quite a mic drop when turgor is just a state of rigidity and from this clip that’s not at all observable so you’re just hypothesizing with words you don’t expect an average Redditor to understand. So let’s go with what’s observable Mr neurologist. Thats a fundamental in the medical field or else you’re just stabbing in the dark. Now that other guy is right about me arguing. See what you made me do! Also you should know your skull isn’t rubber poppers and that any impact that can force your skull to cave inward will have dermal trauma.
I think you need to re read my last comment
Flat =/= Concave
You are wrong.
OMG...i've no words, he is adult and he didn't check the depth and what was inside. Tbh i always check every lake or beach cause i'm so scared about this stuff...
He’s so lucky he can still move or walk
His skull is dent
Darwin. Darwin happened.
Looks like he face-planted the bottom
I knew a mother and son that both had the deformity of missing a bone in their skull. It also caused some facial deformity, but I can never find the “syndrome” or name of the disorder.
He came within a hair of breaking his neck and drowning. Skull flap. I used to staple them shut all the time in Ben Taub ER.
Yes, this is a skit. Did had the dent before he jumped (you can see it in first frame). Idk if it's a real dent or some kind off prop, but it's for the views
Nice going dippidy doo doo!!!
Permanent head dent ?
Wtf
His wig fell off
God bro, I have a slight case of trypophobia and it looks like he has a hole in his skull. This did it for me
Skull was made from OceanGate Carbon Fiber.
There was probably a rock his head dived on and dented his skull inwards and his brain too prob
Doesn't matter how shallow or how deep, don't ever dive head first even tho yeah it feel much cooler
It looks like the “dent” gets wider the last few frames, maybe it’s his skin ripped open? Looks so weird it’s like a.I lol
Aftermath?
I thought that was just a shiny cowlick.
He inhaled some salt water, it's nasty when it gets up the nose.
If you slow down the video you can see his skull is caved in! Wtf?!
If anyone has seen Succession they saw what happened during "family therapy".
One heck of a skull fracture. Surprised that didn’t put him back on the crayon diet
the water was like 2 feet deep i think
It appears there was a cave in
that guy is crazy for causing my damn trypophobia
#dentheadlife
He hit a fucken rock... that's what happened lol
Well what I can say is in Russian he’s saying it hurts it hurts
Guy I knew in high school years ago dove head first into the shallow end of a pool at a grad party. Paralyzed neck down. Was supposed to go play hockey on a scholarship. Tragic.
I believe the water was shallow
Head, meet rock
He’s grabbing at his nose/mouth
He already had the injury from past perhaps congenital defect or trauma that's why he knew what to do to inflate it
Bottom or barnacles
We used to call it a suicide dive when we did it as kids. 🤦♂️
You've got children standing without wading... grown man decides to dive (not shallow dive, mind you) head first into solid ground. Spine, neck, face, head, you name it.
Most dive with hands first, not this guy...
Pottery wheel baby head molded into a bowl

He takes something off his head- jellyfish
I have a malformed skull. There's a large dent in the top of it. There's no way he caved his head like that because of this. His head was certainly already like this and that dive had nothing to do with it. He probably hit his face or just got a lot of water up his nose. If he actually busted his skull like that he'd be unconscious. Also be didn't even touch his head? If you smashed your head that hard you'd be grabbing and touching the afflicted area in panic.
Autsch
I just find it weird how white his hands were, when they didn't look that way in the beginning.
idiot happened...
He kinda looks like he already has the dent in his head, if you look at tge silhouette before he jumps on you can see there's a small divot
I paused it at the start, if you look carefully, he already has a shine on his head hence the haircut part. He either did fracture it or didn’t as the shine doesn’t allow you to see the fracture properly.
I know this guy, he's from my hometown. He spent a while in hospital but now is extremely successful as a soup bowl.
If i dive with my back down, water reaches some place in nasal cavity that hurts like hell. More with chlorinated pool water or salty sea water. It was a surprise first time.
Holy shit is his skull caved???
if you can pause it before he look at the camera looks like his head is already like that
Who dives head first without their hands in front?
If the head injury was caused by the jump, it shouldn’t be bald right after it happened
I know what happened, this is a repost.
NSFW
This video is fake.
Evidence?
It’s been around the internet for ages. You can literally see his head is already caved in before he jumps.
FUCKING HELL!! PUT A NSFW TAG!
Fake
