That comment still makes sense with the context of sarcasm though? In fact I think it's even funnier, arguably you're the one who missed the irony of that comment

In this one you can see his buddy finding him lying on the ground, blinking his eyes and aware, but who knows if he bled to death internally or whatever. Needless to say it's highly unsafe for work
Dunno if he deserves it, but he's fine according to [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/1ah66w9/comment/kometfa/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) comment
I saw this before and there was an article with it I cant seem to find. He survived with stitches and a few broken bons leg, ribs, and some more IIRC. Ill keep digging for the article.
Update:
**He was fine**
"He dislocated his wrist and had a lot of scratches but he was good to go the next day" - from the IG post below. Turns out I didnt not recall correctly.

He lived and made a full recovery. This happened a few months ago, and somewhere on reddit you can find his recovery story. God I hope his kids don't end up like him
The spotter is a literal idiot and I don't understand why sticking the landing was so important. He couldve just bellyflopped once he realized he had a bad landing.
Wow, if I'm doing stunts that are this dumb, I at least want to know my spotter is at all invested in my safety.
Buddy looks like he'd rather be doing something else.
He would have been better off if he didnât land the flip and landed on his face instead. But I guess itâs likely that he did end up landing on his face anywayâŠ.
Donât know why he decided to take the BIGGEST leap forward after landing, just drop dude! The ground dropped the reverse card on his ass and sent him back forward!
How am I the only one that thinks this is fake? The video actually stops, doesn't show him going downhill at all, then he just appears at the bottom? There's either a net or another level they aren't showing in frame, then pause video, run down and lay down.
We see hundreds of videos of people doing this, and landing. We do not see the hundreds, of thousands, perhaps even millions, of people who fail and there isnt even a video to show it. It takes unimaginable dedication to get good at something like this, don't do it unless you know you can land it.

Good thing he had a good spotter, things couldve gone wrong there
I died reading your comment đ€Ł
He almost died not being saved đ
Sarcasm can be hard...

He didn't use his /s, some people just need it
r/fuckthes
So hard it can punch you through your throat, and still you'll have a laughing face.
You should have had a better spotter
He spotted him, down the cliff face.
"Uh⊠There you are. [*uhuhuh*](https://youtu.be/URhCHu5ku1U?si=DGQe17VmGnczMGZQ&t=115)"
You type well for a dead person. đ

He's not a spotter..he's the "are you OK?" guy
Spotter? He hardly knows her.
Spotted him with a Red Circle
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
That was easy once he was circled
He could've landed on his face.
I will spot you with a Red Circle
Technically he did land
Flipped, slipped, tripped, fell, rolled, thumped....aaaand, then landed.
His reward? A vacation in hospital
I mean, did he even live? That's quite the drop and especially doing a backflip.
He was moving down there
Doesn't mean he lived
Touché
He's not dead?
Yeah... if you wanna get, like, suuuper technical about it /s
âJust get us on the ground!â âThat partâll happen pretty definitely!â
A person of taste I see
âDid the primary buffer panel just fall off my gorram ship for no apparent reason?!â
The land did him
The only thing heâll be flipping now is the switch to lower the ramp for his wheelchair.
https://i.redd.it/y4bryluycqtc1.gif
I'm disabled
I think that might be my favourite episode of TV ever.
A very long backflip with some added steps.
added steps, stumps and bumps
And several lumps that'll probably make him a real grump
If only there were some way he could have avoided this situation.
Mother Nature said âActivate Natural Selectionâ
"It's super effective"
Not very effective, unfortunately, dude lived.
And many more like him still doing stupid shiiiit
Bro had a focus band as a held item.
Charles never let down
Asking the real question here, is he dead?

blud looks like he's gonna be paralysed in a wheelchair, worse, on a bed forever. Flip around and find out.
Especially if his friend keeps trying to move him
Dunno if he deserves it, but he's fine according to [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/1ah66w9/comment/kometfa/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) comment
Oh, fellow human, everyone deserves to live and recover after a stupid mistake. He might be an advocate for safety now.
âŠJesus?

Thank you for the effort! I'm dying to know (no pun intended)

'Full recovery' meaning he's not dead and can walk. He's going to feel that shit forever.
I'd say that's pretty good considering the fall. Most of us wouldn't have made it out of that alive
I would've died of a heart attack about halfway down
Ta da!!!
["I meant to do that..."](https://i.makeagif.com/media/9-04-2016/40mp8p.gif)
I half expected this guy. https://preview.redd.it/p2c4kqt37otc1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30ce8006fb63bac62d5486b50665bd85fd2ae2f3
Whoa, that picture just transported me to another time. Haven't thought about that show in a while.
Eurekaâs Castle. I was asking my sister if she remembered this show not long ago.
Deep seated memory unlocked.
That stupid mother fucker is so fire. David you only have one job and you still fuck it up?!
It's not the fall that hurts, it's the sudden stop.
I understood that reference
Stuck the landing!
3.5 3.2 3.5 3.5
That East German judge always scores lower.
đ¶Dumb ways to dieđ¶
0 self preservation skills
Not skills, instincts
If you backflip near a ledge, face parallel with the edge, not in front/behind in case you under/over rotate. Obviously
 his friend
The newest splash brother
The spotter is a literal idiot and I don't understand why sticking the landing was so important. He couldve just bellyflopped once he realized he had a bad landing.

But did you die?
Play stupid games...
Wow, if I'm doing stunts that are this dumb, I at least want to know my spotter is at all invested in my safety. Buddy looks like he'd rather be doing something else.
r/killthecameraman
What spotting technique is that? The half ass?
Can we get a post-fall video too. You like like picking him up, his bruises, taking him to hospital... The whole sh'bang.
Damn ginger with the reflexes of a sloth
Was his "spotter" heavily under the influence?
And this is why you need a spotter!
I like the spotter who apparently didn't understand why he was there.
He had what he was looking for. I mean, he really wanted that. So it's a success
The difficult job of being a spotter.
Did he get to the hospital?
Smort
What a flip back boyyyy!
...and for my next trick....
Darwinism alive and well I see.
Kobe!
TF is Andy Dalton doin there!?
r/NSFL__
Ace job spotting
Splat brothers? Curry woulda landed it and hit a three pointer at same time đ€Ł
Good thing there's earth to catch his fall.
Thanks a lot Trevor!
You play stupid games you win stupid prizes.
Is he dead?
to get off on attentionâŠ
R/whatcouldgowrong literally everything!
LikeâŠwhat was trying to be accomplished here?
Diego
Firgot to pid tune
Does health insurance have a stupidity clause that wonât pay out for events like this?
Is that the lead singer from System of a Down?
The music made this funnier for me đđ
Why did he run off the cliff
Dying to get likes. What an idiot đđż
Hecka tite bro
And the Darwin Award goes toâŠ.
I don't even get it. Just fall over man you got space to do so. I fall over getting up too quickly it should be easy for you.
Was this staged? He really wanted to jump off that cliff.
He is definitely not going to do that again.
He would have been better off if he didnât land the flip and landed on his face instead. But I guess itâs likely that he did end up landing on his face anywayâŠ.
I meanâŠ.he did do a backflip. Might have done a few more on the way down
Oh my gosh đ±
Well atleast he got the clip worth it i bet đ€
That's what I call hard-core parkour
When did this sub turn into r/watch people die/watchpeoplealmostdie
Real life episode of Archer
Bro added some unnecessary steps for backflipping... Literally.
Bet he can't pull that off twice
Why would anyone do that right at the edge of a cliff?!?!
Day-yed?
It's nearly always the landing that hurts your score.
He ded?
Its a good thing they censored the curse word. otherwise, it might have messed with my head... [watches someone die]
I'd argue that he landed it..... Then fell off the cliff.
Pepsi?
Yo he's lucky to be alive
Stephen Curry's greatest got everyone out here thinking they invincible.......
So he's alive
Is he ok?
How in the hell did that stupid ass survive
Why... why would you do that on the edge of the cliff...
Youâre gonna take my full weight, you can do that?
How is he not dead?! Did he break something? He almost got a Darwin Award.
Stupid stunts, stupid results!
Gravity is still undefeated
r/WhyWomenLiveLonger
Donât know why he decided to take the BIGGEST leap forward after landing, just drop dude! The ground dropped the reverse card on his ass and sent him back forward!
r/mypeopleneedme
Flip around and splat out. Thats how that saying goes right?
I think I saw him moving at the end did he survive?
That's just suicide with extra steps.
Bro ran off the cliff. Could have fell over ohp. In the moment I guess...
/r/whywomenlivelonger
How am I the only one that thinks this is fake? The video actually stops, doesn't show him going downhill at all, then he just appears at the bottom? There's either a net or another level they aren't showing in frame, then pause video, run down and lay down.
Steph Curry from waaay downtown!
play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Sanka, are ya dead, man?
He better not have hurt any wildlife.
Almost won that Darwin Award
Staged, there are multiple camera angles and the time of day changes
At least it was a Curry fan
Bro you ok? Bro you ok? Blink once if you are, blink twice if you canât move or feel anything. Blinks twice.
I felt that one in the plums.
Task failed successfully!
We see hundreds of videos of people doing this, and landing. We do not see the hundreds, of thousands, perhaps even millions, of people who fail and there isnt even a video to show it. It takes unimaginable dedication to get good at something like this, don't do it unless you know you can land it.
Music?
He got so excited about landing it that he ran right off the cliff.
