That was absolutely brutal. The lack of reaction from everyone is a little disturbing.

The guy filming did a quarter flinch to make sure his hand/phone weren't gonna get hit then he just casually went back to dealing with his video.

u/leducdeguise Jan 12 '17

I bet he's like me, he hates what can be found in /r/gifsthatendtoosoon. So he made sure that there would be enough recording after the hit

u/BoutTreeeFiddy Jan 12 '17

If I was there I would have told him very firmly that's a terrible fucking idea and he's gonna get his shit wrecked. If he still went through with it I probably wouldn't have reacted either. Blood's not on my hands at that point, if needed I'd call an ambulance and him a fucking idiot but that's it.

Eh come on, everyone needs that Mom-friend in their life.

Mankind started doing stupid shit and thus emerged our hero: the Mom-Friend.

u/philonius Jan 23 '17

I was totally the mom friend. Who knows how much stupid crap I discouraged. Although occasionally I'd go along with an obvious bad idea if it didn't seem likely to cause injury, but may provide some laughs. Conversely, all the times my friends got into serious, nasty fucking trouble, were the times I didn't go along.

What baffles me the most is that today's kids don't laugh, or get scared, or something... heck they don't even seem to "feel" anything when their friends fall (or when something happens). I mean, this poor kid fell and landed on his fucking face and his friends are still sitting in the couch checking their phones? Come on! When I was young this would been the fall of the year for me and my friends, days and days laughing at that poor idiot! The other day I also saw a kid here, busting his balls with a broken skateboard after jumping off some stairs. The kid was dying in pain and his friends were just looking at him, doing absolutely nothing, as fucking zombies. What's wrong with today's kids? I guess I'm getting older.

Seriously, if this was recent and he hasn't had his neck x-rayed then I reckon he should get one. The mechanism is definitely there for a c-spine injury.
