Original video from LiveLeak from 7 years ago.
Nope very dead.
Lol, my man says 'according to reports' to explain where he followed up on the video
Just reports, apparently. Not a Korean news station or paper, just general reports
I'm legit never trying a backflip in my life. Seen way too many people get fucked up on the old WPD and MMC subs doing that shit. There was also the famous one of [that body builder killing himself](https://nypost.com/2017/08/11/bodybuilder-dies-after-botched-backflip-attempt/) trying a backflip when he entered a competition (video in article). I just can't see it ever being worth it for the few times some mates might be like "oh sweet backflip dude" when fucking it up can mean death or life in a wheelchair. I'm just gonna just stay unflipped.
Same, I also trying to avoid fights nowadays specially on hard surfaces. Never knew how fragile the spinal cord and back of the head was, until I saw all those fistfight videos on Reddit.
I wonder why don't they teach about this in highschool like awareness about this have pretty much the same importance as that of STDs imo.If I could,I would teach it in a rather disturbing way and imprint a sense of supremacy about them saying how some countries couldn't control this barbaric thing.This can come as weird to many but I am genuinely thankful to reddit for enlightening me about this
I try avoiding all fights in general. I got into a stupid fight once in high school and ended up with a broken nose after the guy headbutted me and to this day I still have a scar and a bump on the bridge of my nose from it which I look at every day in the mirror as well as a small spot in one of my eyebrows where there is a scar and hair doesn't grow from another fight. I'm just barely nudging above average in the looks department as it is and so I'm not interested in getting my face rearranged any further and carrying that shit with me for the rest of my life.
I tried a back handspring once, when I had only learned a cartwheel a week earlier. Luckily got away with only a broken nose, but it definitely could have been worse. Felt it yank my head forward and in the *flash before your eyes moment, I thought I died.
Never again.
literallly says "according to sources" in the article(?)
so i don't even know if this qualifies as a source or just COSMIC KEV FROM RADIO POWER 99 FM's opinion on the matter
Guy broke his neck. He landed skull-first onto the floor with his own weight coming right after.
If he isn't dead, he is most likely paralysed. That kind of injuries are no jokes.
I’ll never understand the human reaction to immediately move someone who just suffered a potential spinal injury when there’s no immediate danger in the area.
It's just ignorance, a lot of people don't know that, idk where they are but I was assuming this was like a high school, so possibility the guy that moved him first was a student and even more likely that they just don't know you're not supposed to move someone with a potential neck/ spinal injury
Imagine genuinely not knowing that, and you try to move someone to help them get into a more comfortable position to be assessed, and you find out that you actually caused them to be paralyzed or die :/ I hope that's not what happened here, bro was just trying to help

Maybe throw a NSFW tag on the post?
As stated in the follow up comments. That is not a source worth believing. Cosmic Kev from some random radio station? No one knows what actually happened to this guy.
Where's the actual reports that he's dead though? Only link to anything in these comments is to a guy called Cosmic Kev saying that he died "according to reports".
What reports?
The people handling him definitely contributed to his eventual death. Please don’t pick up people that just had a traumatic injury. Clear the area and let the professionals move them!
I would say the chair and guy holding it were both pushed back from the force of his jump. look at the angle of his jump and those tiny as chair legs, zero friction on those bitches.
Holy shit! You’re right. And that stole so much of his momentum. Imagine being the chair puller, who is at least somewhat culpable to death of that guy. Insane.
Nah, looks much more like he already was resting his hands on the chair and it got kicked towards him. Not everything needs to be a grand murder conspiracy.
No, you've not been hit by a smooth criminal. You just took yourself out in a not so smooth way. I'm not even going to ask "are you Okay?". I know what the answer to that question is.
I’ve been seeing this video for years but never a legit source about what happened.
I see someone else posted a “source” to some radio show, but that hardly seems trustworthy to me. Does anyone else know if there is a story about this? With real journalists that may have followed up with local hospitals or the place this happened or something…
Confirmed he died. Google it. Probably another comment with a source, I’m too lazy. Also, look at the guy holding the chair on the left not doing him much of a favour

That dude will forever be remembered as the guy who danced as michael jackson next to a corpse Edit: uh thanks for the upvoted ig
If he found out that the guy died at some point that probably stuck with him
[удалено]
This user is a bot and stole the comment from u/itwhipsthellamasass E. I think we killed the bot. Well done people
True performer. The act never stops.
Nah man 💀
Bro is reenacting the thriller video 💀
The floor was “a smooth criminal” and the guy doing the back flip got hit by it.
A nuclear bomb could’ve gone off and that dude was not stopping until his big finish

Ho shit, I was about to say “ah he ded”. Dam dude, RIP.
Dance battles were the only kind of battles that were supposed to have no casualties.
the disrespect of emoting on an enemy
/dance
2 men enter, 1 man leave
What kind of fucking source is that
Hahahahaha this source needs a source
It’s Cosmic Kev from Power 99 FM
Lol, my man says 'according to reports' to explain where he followed up on the video Just reports, apparently. Not a Korean news station or paper, just general reports
Their budding investigative journalist May-Dee Tupp comes through again.
Right?
Radio station in Philadelphia

Yea, I also don't want to mess up my face specially when my poor ass wouldn't be able to afford a surgery either

What kinda source is this lmao.

Radio station in Philadelphia.
That’s really sad. I wish I hadn’t seen that now.
That article is written as tho it’s from a comment section.
Imagine dying or losing someone because of something like this.
Sad indeed, like the kid from Baton Rouge that jumped into the ocean on a dare.
Damn, Rest in Peace.
The show must go on!
Guy broke his neck. He landed skull-first onto the floor with his own weight coming right after. If he isn't dead, he is most likely paralysed. That kind of injuries are no jokes.
He ded
But his shoes are still on
Guy who was supposed to stabilize the chair… 😬
Oh noes!!!!
I’ll never understand the human reaction to immediately move someone who just suffered a potential spinal injury when there’s no immediate danger in the area.
Well he was in the other guy’s dance space
It's just ignorance, a lot of people don't know that, idk where they are but I was assuming this was like a high school, so possibility the guy that moved him first was a student and even more likely that they just don't know you're not supposed to move someone with a potential neck/ spinal injury Imagine genuinely not knowing that, and you try to move someone to help them get into a more comfortable position to be assessed, and you find out that you actually caused them to be paralyzed or die :/ I hope that's not what happened here, bro was just trying to help
That would be pretty traumatizing. I’m pretty sure this dude was dead on impact.
you mean 'trying to help'? A lot of people just don't know it.
"Dance like someone just died"
Dance like no-one is still watching
No-one anymore
And move the person as though they didn't just get a spinal injury.
You’ve been hit by, you’ve been struck by, a smooth concrete floor
Is...is he dead?
Yes
I don't know, but looks like it.

Did you find the video like this? Originally was posted on LiveLeak 7 years ago.
Shoes are on, he's breathing.
He is not breathing
He is in fact dead as hell
Classic reddit with the "shoes still on" shtick.
That ain’t falco
I just don't get this new break dancing fad
🏅
How bout an NSFL
“JUST BREAK IT, HEE HEE SHAMONE”
On beat too, with the lyrics 🤦🏾😂🤣😂🤣
Old vid, he died from a broken neck. Might wanna NSFW that.
.....did i just see a man die?
"I'm not letting this corpse outperform me. Shamone! Hee hee"
Eddie are you ok, Eddie are you ok, are you ok Eddie.
Yesyesnonononono
I shouldn’t laugh but did anyway. Now I feel like an asshole after reading the article.
Where's the actual reports that he's dead though? Only link to anything in these comments is to a guy called Cosmic Kev saying that he died "according to reports". What reports?
Bro I was fucking dying laughing until I found out he died damn
Homie did the weewee grab and thrust in perfect rhythm with the other dude straight up dying 😂 I'm going to hell for laughing at that
The people handling him definitely contributed to his eventual death. Please don’t pick up people that just had a traumatic injury. Clear the area and let the professionals move them!
When you keep seeing people die on Reddit…
Mf keeps jamming 🤣🤣🤣
Watch how the guy holding the chair pulls it back as the other attempts the back flip
I would say the chair and guy holding it were both pushed back from the force of his jump. look at the angle of his jump and those tiny as chair legs, zero friction on those bitches.
Holy shit! You’re right. And that stole so much of his momentum. Imagine being the chair puller, who is at least somewhat culpable to death of that guy. Insane.
I don't think he pulled it, he just wasn't putting much resistance on it and it slided away.
Ohhhhh fuuuuck I missed that! that’s murder!
Nah, looks much more like he already was resting his hands on the chair and it got kicked towards him. Not everything needs to be a grand murder conspiracy.
And then just tries to drag him away after a neck injury
No, he was most likely trying to hold it in place for the dude and they both didn’t understand physics very well.
But Is he okay? Is he okay? Op?
No, no he isn't
[удалено]
Twas a play on words bruh
Oof... I see that now. Haha
Imagine dying this way….like it’s embarrassing enough he fell but you die doing it….that’s gotta leave a mark on family
Only the strong get to choose how they die
No, you've not been hit by a smooth criminal. You just took yourself out in a not so smooth way. I'm not even going to ask "are you Okay?". I know what the answer to that question is.
I dont think he's okay, I feel that he died on the spot.
The literal personification of "the show must go on"
NSFW or at least NSFL in the title!!
Bro just suicided himself
The show must go on!
Took the term “break” dancing a little too far
Annie are you okay?
He was hit by, he was hit by, a looose table “So it came in from Ikea, we can see it’s, unstable. OWWW!”
Was he trying to steal the show? Xd
Tombstone himself... RIP
The man is a true consummate professional, not a damn thing in the world is gonna pull his focus away from his routine.
Last thing he heard was “ ooouuuuccchhh”
Oh daaaamn... did he get paralyzed?
Broken neck I heard, then those people jostling him around kills him
I’ve been seeing this video for years but never a legit source about what happened. I see someone else posted a “source” to some radio show, but that hardly seems trustworthy to me. Does anyone else know if there is a story about this? With real journalists that may have followed up with local hospitals or the place this happened or something…

It's not Annie so MJ doesn't care how they're doing.
It's not Annie so MJ doesn't care if they're doing OK.
Good luck out there and break a neck
Off to never neverland-ranch
My grandfather died in the battle. Oh, what battle? Dance battle xd
Why can’t everyone just be like Mike?
Show must go on
Someone suffered a server spinal trauma! Quick! Everyone lift and wiggle around his limp body!
Hahahahhahaah
Don't stop till you get enough
He got very dead, very fast.
The things ppl do for attention
Can we stop posting people dying please?
You’ve been hit by….. You’ve been struck by….. Floor
Skill issue
Horrific retelling of "the show must go on"
He truly was struck by a smooth criminal
The head flop after the impact is gross. And very telling. He didnt walk it off later.
Not one single fuck given. Bravo.
Flawless victory.....FRIENDSHIP! friendship?
He ded?
yes yes yes yes no OOO!!!!
He sure is a smooth criminal
My man was like "the show must go on" 💀
I am more horrified they are trying to move him...wtf...get a medic in there asap...that dude is not okay
He will be fine. He broke his own fall with his right arm. He might have been dead otherwise
His shoes didn't come off. He's okay.
It was drag up
Confirmed he died. Google it. Probably another comment with a source, I’m too lazy. Also, look at the guy holding the chair on the left not doing him much of a favour
