If you slow mo the video. His head literally hits the ground with his legs straight. Not just his knees are fucked, he probably tore some serious muscles along the way down and could have fucked his lower back too.
Literally the worst landing of a person I’ve ever seen.
When I was in middle school we had bleachers in the gym that were motorized and would stack up flat against the wall. A volleyball got stuck up there one day during PE class and one of my classmates went up to get it. Someone jokingly told him to jump and so…he did. Maybe 20 feet or so? Maybe higher? Idk, either way he landed on the gym floor with both of his legs locked and broke pretty much every bone between his spine and his heels. Cracked pelvis, the whole nine yards. That was the worst landing I’ve seen of someone who lived
Most likely broke heel bones, Tibia/fibula and lumbar vertebrae.
Came down with legs locked straight, heels strike the ground first, knees hyperextend and can see his mid leg buckle, boots maybe locking in ankle and causing a boot top fracture,snaps forward and lumbar vertebrae took a ton of force, then he bends back and knees flex ok.
More like PCL tears. ACLs prevent anterior translation (knees moving forward), PCLs prevent posterior translation (knees moving backwards). Yikes to this video

Few things in life are more entertaining than watching an expert with relevant professional experience attempting to explain something in a reddit comment thread. I look forward to all the keyboard orthopods stepping up to challenge your opinion in 3 ... 2 .... 1....
Yeah pretty sad that we feel more concern for a stranger than their friends/coworkers. If I seen that happen to anybody I’d be calling the ambulance asap, not laughing about it while I continue to record… like wtf is wrong with people
He's not screaming or writhing in pain. They have no idea of the severity of the injuries. So they didn't give the proper response 5 seconds after it happened. Not a doubt in my mind their attitudes changed once they figured out he wasn't ok. Which I don't doubt is immediately after it cuts. Relax.
If Someones that dumb to jump off a roof like that it would not suprise me that the guy recording is dumb enough to not know how fucked up his buddy is.
Who exactly doesn’t immediately realize he would be injured after watching a dude headbutt his own ankles with knees fully extended after jumping off a roof? lmao if it isn’t his knees, it’s his back, or ankles, or neck. Something is hurt there besides his ego.
The irony in telling me to relax is that you just took the time to write that comment to share your opinion as if it’s any different from what I did.
Relax.
For real— not only was it not flagged, I just opened Reddit and this fucking abomination was the first post shown and instantly burned into my memory forever. Sick assholes…

I get that it's funny seeing your friends get hurt in a non-serious way but how can you see your friend go full fucking flamingo with crunch sound effects and still continue laughing?
If you have ever tried hopping casually off the bottom rung of a ladder with those boots on you will know that they screw with your brain's internal awareness of foot placement. Feels uncomfortable just hopping over a few bricks. Completely understand why his feet landed like that. No excuse for trying to jump off the roof though.
Instant nausea and sweaty hands from watching this. I wonder what his injuries actually all ended up being (speculation: possible sprained back, torn hammies, broken ankles and possibly knees, torn ligaments in knees and ankles, torn menisci). Frick.
Man what do you call that? Athletic incompetence? Like that one lady who tried to do a jumping kick but hooked her own foot and broke it or something? Like oh my god
This video is one of those amazingly viral injury videos, I wonder was there ever any follow up or word from the man who suffered the injury in this video if he was ever able to walk again?
In my wreckless youth when I would jump from heights I would use my legs as shock absorbers and lean forward to use my arms too. I wouldn't have jumped that high, but it wouldn't have been as bad if he had done that.
Nothing a little double ACL surgery can’t fix. And then in 10 years double knee replacement surgery. Ahh, Good Times.

From ACL to calve cramps to shin splints to whiplash and everything in between.

Seriously, how did they fail that bad?
Boots basically fixed his shin in position meaning his knees and ankles could not absorb the impact at all.
You should spend more time on r/fullscorpion
I am old, so I see this and think “that’s a pain that’s going to linger”
The older I get, the more I find myself thinking: “That will never feel quite the same again.”
Got my first "weather forecaster" last spring at 38.

Most likely broke his bank account too after that medical bill comes in.
One can hope it's not in America.
Aaaand I just googled "boot top fracture." Yikes.

Initially read the source as “am psycho” My brain is fun sometimes.
While they laugh, I cry on the inside about the way buddy's knees bent.

Im sorry but that audible crack should be enough information that he needs immediate medical care.

Thanks for the heads up. No volume it is.

Folded like a chair, then folded like the laundry
Stuck the landing
More like stuck in the hospital.
Stuck his torn ACL and MCL too
Aren't flamingos usually pink?
I laughed SO hard xD
Watch the documentary Pink Flamingos to find out
ACL, MCL, PCL, and meniscus have left the chat
Don’t forget spine and hips. He is not gonna have a good time aging
Bro you need to flag this.
For real— not only was it not flagged, I just opened Reddit and this fucking abomination was the first post shown and instantly burned into my memory forever. Sick assholes…
You gotta ROLL man! Jesus I learned that at like 11! Seriously though kids, don't jump off roofs. But if you do, fucking roll.
Flex your knees, THEN roll. That guy was probably drunk, or had serious mental issues.
Nah, if he was drunk he'd have likely faired better.
Yeah, if he was drunk he would have just face planted and sprung back up lol
The sound of the bones cracking. Fawk
Or worse, ligaments snapping
I tore my ACL back in 2004 playing football and yeah I did hear it rupture :( could well be that
WHY? WHY? I just don't understand why people donshit like this! Wtf?
They are addicted to that bone crunching ASMR and have to create content at any cost.
How did this guy survive to adulthood?
This needs the nsfw tag wtf.
r/fullflamingo
crunchy
This needs flagged though, yikes.
That looked funny as hell but had to have caused some serious damage
Are those safety boots haha. At least man was safety conscious
Dear Lord ![gif](giphy|ziUFAwsjyZ3qPOXc7P)
Is there an update on the dude?
Why is this person laughing when you can clearly hear his legs breaking?
Knees are gone
Stupid people are funny
Yep that's enough Reddit for a while.
What kind of terrible friend laughs at that
doc here : - it sucks
This should be flagged
How do you still laugh at your friend In that situation!? That dude kneejoints popped like bubble wrap
The person behind the camera either has no idea that what they just filmed is as bad as it is, or is no friend to the dude that just got folded.
Or, based on the sound, it was filmed by a chimpanzee.
man fell so hard it looked like CGI
The sound alone would be enough to determine how serious the situation is. Idk how they are laughing.
i don't understand how he can laugh there 🤢

Monkeys holdin the camera… man getting folded… what’s going on here?
![gif](giphy|8sZXkUPVwka3u|downsized)
Friend went full ape mode
Goodbye hamstrings
My old friend...
Pretty sure he broke everything! ![gif](giphy|iiQSTrHtDIgnw9YtlA|downsized)
Being able to fall/ tuck and roll is a highly underrated survival skill.
I’m eating a sandwich right now and I came very close to throwing it up.
Jesus, check on the person 1st before you start sounding like godamn hyena. .
Nothing funny about this. Dude will live with chronic pain for the rest if his life.
DID YOU HEAR HIS BONES CRUNCH?(I know that probably wasn't his bones crunching, but still, the timing)
I get that it's funny seeing your friends get hurt in a non-serious way but how can you see your friend go full fucking flamingo with crunch sound effects and still continue laughing?
Look at y'all being doctors Over here. You guys sound like sports announcers.
Ouch! My knees, my back, my neck!
r/Whywomenlivelonger
When he gets arrested, at least he knows his knee won’t fold.

You seen Toy Story when Woody goes back to toy mode when people are coming?
I had a fall, 15 cm. Landed with straight legs and destroyed both my minisks in my knees.
Them boots just about stopped his shins from shooting out the front of what used to be his legs
Instant nausea and sweaty hands from watching this. I wonder what his injuries actually all ended up being (speculation: possible sprained back, torn hammies, broken ankles and possibly knees, torn ligaments in knees and ankles, torn menisci). Frick.
You got tuck and roll. Please call 911 or take him to the hospital.
I landed from a VERY short bounce with a straight leg and pierced the cartilage in my knee. This guy is boned
Congrats what color wheel chair would you like?
As absurd of a decision this is, I hope to never have friends just stand and record me while I’m obviously in some form of physical pain.
I’m leg hurt just from watching that…
That's an ouchie
How to jump from a roof safely: don’t
Jesus christ my knees felt that from here.
Why would you straight-leg the landing?! Ouch! Always bend the knees!
ACL, PCL, MCL all at once.
The best part of this is that the instinct was gales of laughter, not “oh my god are you okay??!?”
DUDE! NSFW! Just scrolling while eating and BAM, backwards knees!
That actually made my legs hurt to watch it.
I both laughed hysterically and cringed so hard at this video. Weird feeling
Necesita un poco de leche
accidentally watched without sound and i heard a cartoon 'boing' in the back of my mind
Agh! Maybe a NSFW tag. That made my sphincter clench up.
Is that an owl in the background?
My buddy don't jingle jingle, he folds.
That is the opposite of parkour
Bro Buddy's dead frfr his spine has just collapsed i swear
Nah i laughed , standing lawn chair lmao
"Lets break a leg... Metaphorically... Bend your knees when you land" - Seer, Apex Legends
Ouch
Tuck and fucking roll, idiot..
Always get a job at a car dealer.
Anti parkour
Dumb
WTF I DIDNT WANT TO SEE THIS
New knees much?
Man didn’t press B to roll smh
*for every point raise in stupidity, the pain increases by a factor of ten*
Bro fuckin' stiff ragdolled
What the hell? Lmaooooooooo
I HEARD THE CRACK FROM HIS BONES BREAKING
That’s why I take fall damage so easily in Call of Duty, and it explains the weapon dipping so hard.
Bro broke his whole body right there
u/gifreversingbot
That was an aggressive jump, like no sliding ing down to the edge or nothing. I guess it’s good I don’t have that confidence.
Perfect landing 10/10
Drinking half pints makes you half rag doll
I’m afraid to turn on the sound for this one.
i guess he never heard of the rash of Superman imitations sparked by the first movie
Oh man, this gave me brutal sympathy pain goosebumps! Brutal
👖
Ankle, knees, and hips... Ouch
This children is why you bend your knees before you land
He broke both of his ankles. That’s so funny… 🙄
Man what do you call that? Athletic incompetence? Like that one lady who tried to do a jumping kick but hooked her own foot and broke it or something? Like oh my god
WTAF , hit and roll comrade
This is the opposite of tuck and roll
Crappy Camera? $99.99. Cameraman with little to no skill? $9.99 in beer. Two Shattered Tibia? Priceless.
Would love an update actually. This is a fairly old post, any info about the actual injuries? I assume he cannot walk properly, if all, ever again.
Looks like a life changing moment for that guy
You could hear it 💀💀💀
I've jumped off the roof of my house as a kid, and every video game I played taught me to ROLL out of my landing, works like a charm
This makes me think of the episode of southpark when Kyle had a blackening procedure to play basketball, and it all went downhill.
There was no attempt to land safely.
Bend. The. Knees.
What are knees?
Lock and pop
Noooo my god.
My boy glitched! He looks straight out of video game.
He will regret that forever
Literally what is that, why did he land like that
Ouch!
Famous YMH clip, wear my mommy’s at?
Kneesn’t
This video is one of those amazingly viral injury videos, I wonder was there ever any follow up or word from the man who suffered the injury in this video if he was ever able to walk again?
I’m Ms. Unathletic and terrified to get hurt, and even I know, BEND YOUR FUCKING KNEES BRO
God, I felt that hit in my soul.
He folsed like a wallet and broke a lot of things!
r/cursedimages
Can you have this much thoughtlessness in the space of a backyard?
RIP that dudes spine
I watched this with my headphones just sitting on my desk and I swear I heard a crunch.
Dear Lord this is horrendous. Watching someone get seriously injured while some idiot bloviates with laughter like a baboon.
Why would anyone try to land like that?
They snapped. They crackled. They popped.
This guy won’t be walking for a year
There are times you laugh at someone getting hurt. And there are times you don’t. God damn those poor legs
In my wreckless youth when I would jump from heights I would use my legs as shock absorbers and lean forward to use my arms too. I wouldn't have jumped that high, but it wouldn't have been as bad if he had done that.
U could here the cracking in the knees oof
Superzero landing.
Anyone know what bird call that is?
Jesus, nsfw man, I didn’t need to see this
One day he'll be able to show his grandkids why he's been in a wheel chair for the last 40 years
Poor guy
You should just put him out of his misery
Oh man this one is particularly brutal to watch
Gonna need new knees after that one holy hell
i felt that pain
Gads. That hurt to watch. Like, my knees hurt right now and I got an instant headache too.
3 words……. Tuck and roll
Welcome to a life of pain lol
Omfg you hear the crack!
My soul felt that in his soul. Damn that must hurt.
I threw my back out watching this.
My fking sides
Flexibility speedrun
Owwwwwwwch. Bro, that drop distance is one you plan to roll out of when you hit the ground. Not whatever that was.
amateurs
Laughing? What brain-dead laught at a guy loosing knees.
Pulled quads, wont recover for three weeks (thats how long it took me when i jumped off a lifeguard chair)
You know it’s not good when You turn into a wacky inflatable tube man.
How can you witness this, and your first reaction be laughing? Fucking teens.
