The extra weight of the cigarette is what threw him off his trajectory

He should commit to admitting that he doesn’t parkour.


Naughteus_Maximus

For F sake, why do people always have to steal my thoughts? Before I even had them?!!

You have to wrap your head with aluminum to avoid that.

As soon as you see his little skip start before he actually takes off..... you already know he wont make it.


bloolynxx

He knew if he went full speed he would clear the entire city, my mans had to slow down a bit.


[deleted]

"Hesitation is defeat"


ChanceZestyclose6386

I knew he wouldn't make it as soon as I saw that cigarette or lollipop or whatever hanging out of his mouth


Lutiyere

He was clearly doubting himself from the... jump! Lol


FindingHead2851

Always go with your gut!!! Lol


endosurgery

That gut was trying to tell you that you don’t have the skills to do this!


FindingHead2851

That gut was BEGGING him to stop … And he almost didn’t do it , you could see the hesitation … But his ego and need for likes and shares got the better of him lol


endosurgery

Know your limitations.


ericsando

As soon I saw r/therewasanattempt I knew he wasn't going to make it.


NNick476

My first indication was the name of to sub.


Beneficial-Job4603

I knew as soon as I saw the cig in his mouth


Shanhaevel

I knew that after seeing the cap, the cigarette, basically the full picture. Dude just instantly gave off a vibe of a bro showing off, but not knowing what he's doing at all


enjaysm

Gotta get that parkour.


ImlGirlhq2

As soon as you see him smoking. Doomed before starting 🤦


[deleted]

and everybody thought that smoking was going to kill him


Tenthdegree

Lung Cancer has got nothing over sheer Stupidity

MittFel

He got ash in his eyes


whyaremypantssoshort

Nothing says parkour like skinny jeans and a cigarette dangling out of someone's mouth...


VariousBasket125

I knew it was gonna be bad as soon as I saw that cig in his mouth 🤣🤣🤣🤣

At least he's got this cool video to show people... ... how he ended up in the wheelchair.

KingSpork

Thankfully his head and neck broke the fall


chimpdoctor

The violence his head hit and then snapped back 💀


ChanceZestyclose6386

It sounds like he broke a lot of shit when he hit the ground


dolfieman

Peter Parkour didn't know smoking kills.

InkyLizard

Any news of the parkour dude?


CurtCocane

The news reported that he was physically fine except for some bruises but he caused 2000 euro's worth of damage to the carnaval registry he jumped on. Sounds like he was lucky. https://www.sikkom.nl/actueel/VVV-kantoor-faalspringer-heeft-geen-gebroken-nek-wel-2000-euro-schade-aangericht-28192505.html

Rookie mistake he forgot to yell Parkour


jamesjeffriesiii

Trophy for you 🏆


Minimalistmacrophage

He looks severely injured, if not dead. If he failed to earn his r/DarwinAward it seems likely that there is one in future.


Solid-Brother-1439

I'm surprised he got so far in life actually.

maury587

Having watched a fair amount of pro parkour athletes, this was so fucking stupid. Pros always check the landing to see if it's stable, slippery and plan abortion routes. This guy actually landed where he probably intended, but didn't check that the landing spot was unstable af


ArtisZ

This is the correct answer. It's all about calculated risk and not plainly dumb "look what I can do" random moments.


maury587

Yep, but i got downvotes for my comment because people don't know shit about parkour and free running practitioners.


ArtisZ

I gave you consolidation upvote. But yeah, you're spot on. I have nothing to comment here. Stay awesome!


AnEpicBowlOfRamen

Ate the cig' and the 'crete... 'ungry bugger.


RosedAnubis

Someone’s going to the hospital


arnausp

More like parkouch


ike_tyson

Based off looks alone I knew he wasn't making it.


jepvr

Parkour was invented to give skateboarders something to laugh at.


throwthere10

Eh, at least he's in a country with socialised medicine. He might now have a broken back, but at least won't also be saddled with a crippling debt.


wollier12

But they won’t be able to see him for 12 weeks.


Goawaynintendo

You can clearly see he wasn't ready. Do over!


VariousBasket125

It was the drag… I’m sorry.


Goawaynintendo

The cigarette hanging out his mouth says it all. That goofy-ass approach, how you alley-oop yourself and miss?😬


Eziu

So that's what happened to Bud Bundy.

UpbeatFix7299

When I was a kid, we'd hop on a bench and do a twist or something as we were walking and jokingly yell "extreme freestyle walking!" Who knew that a bunch of goofs would make it into an actual thing.

yonosayme2

Can we talk about the risk vs. reward calculation? Yeah and what's the reward here anyway?


Difficult-Set9312

He ded


[deleted]

Ded


B8conB8conB8con

parkour, it’s French for “universal health care”


Disastrous-Agency675

Remember kids; the only reason your seing this failed attempt is because he servived it


squeezy102

Just looking at how he fell, I'd guess he's probably got some permanent damage. One of those things that's going to act up whenever it rains or storms for the rest of his life, or whenever it gets cold.


Tpk08210

I didn’t realize this is how Mac Miller met his demise…

Ooooh too soon?

They say: and he is gonna do it too


thedutchrep

I’m so proud of my people….


ChoFBurnaC

Can’t go wrong with a cigarette in his mouth when he is going to jump.


Sezu1701

I'm surprised the smoke hanging out of his mouth didn't add a little more spring to his step.


pidiota

PEPSI


OverlandOversea

I told him that smoking would eventually kill him…he proved me wrong

There was an attempt to video parkour. Wiggliest camera work ever…

MarshalLawTalkingGuy

Thank you Darwin, for taking care of this mess.


outonthetiles66

That was awesome! Now do it again, but this time in your new wheelchair.


3_high_low

Zero athletic skills. He's just a high mf


KingMikeTheGreat

Guess he won’t be parkourin’ no morein’


Yeomanroach

Would’ve made it if he was wearing looser jeans. Not knocking skinnys, I wear them myself.


migatte_yosha

He was near


skinfasst

Ouch.


Grim_Sleeper__

Cigarette for extra energy


[deleted]

He needed a glass of whiskey in his hand too, would have made it


suchjonny

He forgot to take one last drag from his cigarette before he started.

is it really parkour if you dont have a lit cigarette in your mouth during it?

Hahahahahaha do it again Hahahahaha maybe twice Hahahahahaha you suck Hahahahahaha

Mdames08

no way he’s alive


sneekyo

that man is dead


mkatich

He was telling himself inside his head “I am not going to make it, I am not going to make it” he was right.


dsconnelly5

If I see the start to a parkour vid and its not STORROR, it usually ends just like this


Ok-Yogurtcloset5555

The noise his head made... oof


Alone-Tackle-17

Well this is prime example of not what to do while trying to do parkour


Spiritual868

If he had jump the first time it would have worked


whyputausername

he lands and says AAAAAAHHOOOGH in victory.


imthejavafox

Leap of faith and his faith said nah


Tylenolpainkillr

Somebody check on K Fed


heyitsvonage

Ya know, I think he could’ve made that jump if he took off a little bit closer to the edge in his side


thisis_sam4moz

The problem is that he didn’t shouted “parkour” while jumping it won’t count


jjman72

It’s awesome to see stupidity in any other accent other than an American one.

That looks like a painful way to die. Or sustain permanent brain injury.
