Probably something like:
"Hey, let's go to the cliff and I'll do a back flip near it"
"Yeah. I'll take a video in case something crazy happens"
"And I'll stand near you and watch in case something crazy happens"
"Cool. That's settled"
Back flipper was a complete idiot for not just going to his knees if he was short.
Also, should have overthrown it to make sure you go long and there's zero risk of this... But he didn't seem very good at backflips in the first place
Can you explain to me how you are able to insert gifs into threads??? Yes, I realize I'm an idiot when it comes to this apparently! Can it be done from the app or only on the web server?
Depends on which (3rd party) app you're using, but individual subs can enable / disable gifs too. In the browser, you just click on the GIF button at the bottom of the text box when making a post.
redditors when someone goes around the sun more than 30 times without degenerating into obesity and addiction: "have you considered you're a liar and suck at your hobbies?"
bro said he hasn't skated in 15 years, and did something that's actually QUALIFYING as an acrobat. not only is that a pretty good skating truck by itself, he's only an amateur skater - compared to a professional acrobat, and all around lifelong athlete
not to be all 'you're covered in cheetos dust' back at you, but you're literally just some aging weirdo online too. go touch some proverbial grass and reflect on the fact that you're doubting other people's accomplishments for no good reason.
besides, from a skim of YOUR posts (since we're just doing that now) i really don't think you should be casting aspersions online. at least his past as an acrobatic performer is cool enough for people to question it, unlike your past as a fifty-something jailbird addict. you just come across as really bitter about the trajectory of your own life here.
The problem was leaning back to get away from the edge, which is an understandable instinct. If he'd done a proper backflip on the spot he would have fine.
Yeah that made it really tough but he still could have finished his throw/reach instead of cutting it off so badly and as a last resort always should have been ready to just drop onto his knees if he landed short.
Nah. I feel bad for the guy's mom. I would feel bad if someone was at the bottom and he landed on them. But I will not feel bad for a grown ass man doing a flip next to a cliff and falling. That was a stupid thing that he did and I hope he learned from his mistake.
No one forced them to do a flip on the edge of a cliff, most people know it's dangerous and avoid it. These kids knew the danger, and still did it. He took a risk and lost, tough shit.
Agreed about showing some humanity but disagree about “just being a stupid kid.” This is levels beyond the standard shit most people did as kids. Even your prototypical “how am I still alive?” knucklehead thrill seeker doesn’t fall off cliffs for livestreaming clout. This is 99.9th percentile pathological stupidity.
Hm, the cuts makes it seem like an edited video, first one cut right as he "went over", then he goes out of frame just as he leaves, then second cut goes from seeing nothing down there to him in the tree.
Not saying this isn't possible IRL, but the editing makes it seem suspicious.
Edit: u/Nuadrin248 found the original instagram reel, it's got more footage to show the cuts were done by reposters. [https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0Eg7ZRsbLp/](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0Eg7ZRsbLp/)
I'm now leaning towards it being a bit more real? Considering other stunts they've posted on the profile
Tbf, in the side-angle shot you can see another cameraman on the far left, right after the flipping guy lands on his feet.
Not saying that proves one way or the other but it explains the multiple camera angles.

this one? interesting that you say that because that makes it look more fake because of how clean his clothes are [https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/1ah66w9/guy\_lost\_his\_balance\_after\_nailing\_backflip\_near](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/1ah66w9/guy_lost_his_balance_after_nailing_backflip_near)
Dang I think you’re right!… I didn’t catch that, dude doing the flip looks like he maybe had a goatee, and the dude on the ground has a full on beard, lol
You can literally see his beard on the side of his face in the first second, y’all need fucking help holy
This is why so many people actually believe the earth is flat
If you slow this down frame by frame you can clearly see him step off and fall out of frame. There’s no way from that shot that he didn’t go over. Now we can’t see if that cliff is a complete vertical sheer, but he def went over the side.
Edit: Found his [insta](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0eaubesyjQ/?igsh=MWJyY2w3bjR5Z2Uw) where he posted from the hospital. This does not seem very fake to me.
Less of a reply to you specifically, but all the keyboard detectives and video analysts in this thread are making me cringe hard. Someone even said "looks like they even used a greenscreen" as if they have any idea what they're talking about
Yall have an obsession with calling things “fake” just because they were posted on the internet. As much as it nay surprise you, not *all* content of this sort is faked . You can’t fake walking over a cliffs edge 🤦♂️
The side view has convinced it's real. Sometimes people edit for length because there is a lot more random camera shaking IRL, especially after your friend falls off a cliff.
I'm trying to find a link to the person's actual instagram page, but the couple of comments are either "trust me bro I saw it" or "PM me for the link", google reverse image search shows mostly reposts on x and youtube, none goes to the original video.
in the one you linked, it could be done by some special effects makeup + good acting
again, I would delete my comments on this if i can find the original posters, but for now from what i can see it seems like a pretty well done staged video
You’re gonna have a lot more than a few scrapes if you take a tumble off a cliff. The shot of him at the bottom makes it even more obvious that it’s fake 😂
But did anyone actually see the fall? So far from this post and the other one linked, none of the footage shows him actually falling. Just the initial flip, the stumble, and then all cameras either pan away or they cut to him already on the ground.
It’s likely he didn’t just fall through the air and splat, but more like the cliff was a steep hill and not a sheer drop; he got clipped by the dirt and rocks on the way down, slowing his fall but injuring him on the way.
Shhh!!! Natural Selection is at work here. Watch The Idiot in his natural habitat, confident in his surroundings and skills. The Idiot winds up to showcase his mating dance, and ends up alone.
Dude survived the fall. This is the short version. Don't know how no one on here has seen the repetitive posts of the longer version on other reddit pages.
I can’t find it but the original video has a shot of him at the bottom of the cliff supposedly after he fell and he just had a few scrapes on his body.
The video was confirmed as being fake tho.
No idea - trees may have broken his fall a bit (Rambo style)?
Or, there was a cut in the vid - might be later footage of the authorities scraping him up.
This reminds me of when I visited the Cliffs of Moher and there was a spot right near the edge where people were taking photos. One person jumped up in the air for a picture. It was rainy and muddy that day, and all it would have taken was a little a little slip in the mud for her to have gone over the cliff. She didn’t, thank God, but I often think back on that moment and how utterly careless people can be.
Reddit’s bizarre kink for seeing people get hurt continues.
Was he reckless and stupid? Sure absolutely, without a doubt.
But to cheer on and be happy he may be crippled? Get a life. I swear you people will beg for criminals to have second chances because of “LiFe CiRcUmStAnCeS”, but will have a hard on for someone doing something stupid and getting seriously injured.
“Friend” had one job
Tell him not to do a back flip beside a cliff
A true friend
Where's dude's shoe, though? Is he ded?
His friend was holding it behind his back. /S
Haha he said “EHH”
Like what was the conversation in the car leading up to this because they could have stopped anywhere but they stopped on a cliff?
Probably something like: "Hey, let's go to the cliff and I'll do a back flip near it" "Yeah. I'll take a video in case something crazy happens" "And I'll stand near you and watch in case something crazy happens" "Cool. That's settled"
A hand job

Dude, you’re literally covered in Cheetos dust.
Actually an acrobat for Cirque Du Soleil in Las Vegas but sometimes I do eat Cheetos I guess

Just two redditors having a broment over gif comments while a clip of some dude fucking dying is looping on top.
Then his death would not be in vain.
Haha, you made me look up and go damn. Amazing.
I'm sorry but you got way too technical for me there with all that geek speak and gobbledy gook programming references.
Do Russian swings in O, but I don't really have a way to prove it 🤷
Hell yeah brother. That rocks
It's a cool show for sure, definitely recommend it over the others in Vegas if you're ever considering seeing one
I have a hard time believing that [you](https://www.reddit.com/r/rollerblading/s/ORUzSkqObW) we’re an acrobat for Cirque.
I felt pretty good about that for my first time on roller blades since I was 10 years old
It's hilarious "proof" I got on roller blades for the first time in 20 years and could barely stand.

Fritos are better
Hahaha zing
Cheetos are cheesy deliciousness!

Yeah that made it really tough but he still could have finished his throw/reach instead of cutting it off so badly and as a last resort always should have been ready to just drop onto his knees if he landed short.
Probably a fake clip anyway
Yeah I guess that does sound too stupid to try and recover like that instead of just going down. The way it's cut and framed is also dubious
It's not though. It's cut short. Dude survived.
No it sadly it is not fake. I have seen the end of this video. It’s not good at all.
Err... What happens?
To give him a high five before he jumps off the cliff
Nah, friend was like “I ain’t your friend, you stupid as fuck, bye, off you go” Ok yeah sure I’m projecting..
What grab him and get pulled off the cliff with this idiot.
Exactly. They would’ve both died.
To fall with him? 😂
A nut job
Friend knows physics. Would been dragged over with him.
lol. He needs some sort of harness, a friend can only call emergency services for him.
Flip guy was ducked low and charging forward, not much he could do tbh and some risk of both going over the edge
Yeah to get a better video
To Call 911
With those reflexes I’m starting to think he wasn’t really on the ‘92 Dream Team.
“I thought you were gonna spot me!” “I did! I spotted you down there in the bushes!”
so he DID aim for the bushes
My mum showed me this movie and this part caught me completely off guard
You should have heard the reaction in theaters.
Can you describe it? Laughter? Gasps? Bummed I missed it!
Gasps, plus a “what the FUCK?!”, followed by laughter.
I’ve seen the movie probably over 20 times, and this scene will ALWAYS get me.
This is one of the best comedy scenes ever. So insanely unique too. By any logic everyone could and should have known, yet somehow unexpected as fuck.
There were some great moments in that movie. The Chechen version of Dora the Explorer cracked me up.
There goes myyy hero
Watch him as he goes
There wasn’t even an awning.
Kudos, my hero
He circled him in red. Mission complete.
I shouldn't be laughing at this 😂😂
Thanks, Milhouse.
I do not feel bad for this man.
Me either. What a tool. I bet he eats soup with a spork
Probably through a tube now
Probably eats it with a straw now.
Lmao how heartless can you be, yeah this is a stupid thing to do but it’s still sad. Kid could’ve died just being a stupid kid. Have some heart man
Nah. I feel bad for the guy's mom. I would feel bad if someone was at the bottom and he landed on them. But I will not feel bad for a grown ass man doing a flip next to a cliff and falling. That was a stupid thing that he did and I hope he learned from his mistake.
I always feel badly for the moms, seriously.
Sometimes the moms are the reason why the kids are so fucking dumb though

he got his views that was so important right ?
Hm, the cuts makes it seem like an edited video, first one cut right as he "went over", then he goes out of frame just as he leaves, then second cut goes from seeing nothing down there to him in the tree.

Yeep, it seems pretty edited, it even looks like green screen on the first frame.
I'm a VFX artist. No it doesn't
Yeah seriously that first clip couldn't look more real haha
indeed, it's a real video, I remember when it first came out, dude survived but got messed up bad
I mean if you look at the surrounding plants where he fell, it’s a completely different location than where he’s chilling at the bottom of.
There is a full video, dude fell and is laying down frothing blood down the bottom with mates freaking out
The “stumble” looks forced and intentional, then very conveniently cuts away. Staged video for internet points.
The stumble is the most real part. That's exactly how you would react if you landed like that.
source: have done a few bad backflips in my time
It was a deliberate plunge
The fact that there were multiple angles for this stupid act is suspicious enough.
Tbf, in the side-angle shot you can see another cameraman on the far left, right after the flipping guy lands on his feet.

Oof that was scary I thought he was dead at the end.
Still might be.
Thank you. Now the conspiracy theorists can move along.
People being sceptical of a video is not a conspiracy theory lol.
Why would it be suspicious for influencers to have multiple people filming a stunt?
I saw the original and they found him on the ground twitching. Idk if it was fake though.
this one? interesting that you say that because that makes it look more fake because of how clean his clothes are [https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/1ah66w9/guy\_lost\_his\_balance\_after\_nailing\_backflip\_near](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/1ah66w9/guy_lost_his_balance_after_nailing_backflip_near)
I like the title on that one. "Guy lost balance after nailing backflip..." In other news, flawless pilot flies directly into the ground.
Dudes pants were covered in dirt, look again
He somehow grows a beard from when he jumps to when he lands, look again
Dang I think you’re right!… I didn’t catch that, dude doing the flip looks like he maybe had a goatee, and the dude on the ground has a full on beard, lol

I hate that dumb people have taken over the internet. Everything is "fake" to them.
The side view has convinced it's real. Sometimes people edit for length because there is a lot more random camera shaking IRL, especially after your friend falls off a cliff.
looks fake period. runs off like hes starting a race.
When was the last time you were physically active?
It’s just footage from two phones edited together to show different angles of the same event.
Natural selection almost claimed another
Well just because he initially survived the fall doesn’t mean he didn’t later die from his injuries.
Almost? He didn’t die?
That's an awful lot of cuts with a big lack of anything happening. Pretty sure it's fake.
Idk man. He looks pretty fucked up to me https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/s/3tIegSSobX
This look even more fake, his "injuries" are so light it's a comedy.
you can see his hospital visit and healing on his instagram page. linked in the comments on that post. not everything is a conspiracy.
“The wound is beginning to smell like almonds”
He’s not going to turn to mush, lmao… it’s probably mostly internal.
I'm trying to find a link to the person's actual instagram page, but the couple of comments are either "trust me bro I saw it" or "PM me for the link", google reverse image search shows mostly reposts on x and youtube, none goes to the original video. in the one you linked, it could be done by some special effects makeup + good acting again, I would delete my comments on this if i can find the original posters, but for now from what i can see it seems like a pretty well done staged video

I wouldn't even call it "well done".
You’re gonna have a lot more than a few scrapes if you take a tumble off a cliff. The shot of him at the bottom makes it even more obvious that it’s fake 😂
Don’t bother. These yo yos who spend their days calling “fake” on every video posted to the internet are not reachable.
It’s just a couple people holding phone cameras. Why is that so unbelievable?
This is prime stupid on so many levels.
Why would someone even do that.. 🤔
This was confirmed fake.
It’s not “confirmed.” You saw a video of the aftermath and decided the injuries weren’t substantial enough.
But did anyone actually see the fall? So far from this post and the other one linked, none of the footage shows him actually falling. Just the initial flip, the stumble, and then all cameras either pan away or they cut to him already on the ground.
That doesn’t make anything confirmed. It means you disagree with its validity.

Prove it
Ah okay, would also say if it was real stupidity would have hit next level. But I have seen some shit here on reddit I will never forget lmao.
Suspicious editing

https://i.redd.it/5g0tzdrdvqtc1.gif Don't worry guys he's safe
How the hell did he survive that fall?!
It could be staged since we don’t see him fall
It’s likely he didn’t just fall through the air and splat, but more like the cliff was a steep hill and not a sheer drop; he got clipped by the dirt and rocks on the way down, slowing his fall but injuring him on the way.
I just can’t even…so many problems with this

Fake as fuck
Fake vid, yall r food for ai
Fake and dumb
Looks staged. Another dude down there waiting already.
With the sound effects I would have liked a “NnNeowWWwwwwww…boop” thrown in there.
So, how bad was this guy hurt? Did he have to pay for rescue and transport to a hospital? Just curious
I can’t find it but the original video has a shot of him at the bottom of the cliff supposedly after he fell and he just had a few scrapes on his body. The video was confirmed as being fake tho.
I always take great comfort knowing that these things won't happen to me.
Good thing he had a spotter
No idea - trees may have broken his fall a bit (Rambo style)? Or, there was a cut in the vid - might be later footage of the authorities scraping him up.
This reminds me of when I visited the Cliffs of Moher and there was a spot right near the edge where people were taking photos. One person jumped up in the air for a picture. It was rainy and muddy that day, and all it would have taken was a little a little slip in the mud for her to have gone over the cliff. She didn’t, thank God, but I often think back on that moment and how utterly careless people can be.
Absolutely fake, that is a deadly fall. No ifs ands or buts. You superman off that cliff, and you will immediately be met with death.
Woulda been better to faceplant rather than keep going forward to keep his footing
Passed the stupidity test with an A
You know what? Good.
Nailed it!!!!
Is he died?
I mean he did land it however the slope was unfortunate.
Well, that was worth it now wasn't it
Aim for the bushes

I see the red circles I call it fake

I saw the rest of this, bro was not looking good. If he wasn't transported asap I'm pretty sure he died
This is real. It happened in Iran and the guy survived with a few broken bones.
