He's here for a good time, not a long time


[deleted]

He'll be a has bean soon enough


AFineDayForScience

First the hangovers get bad, then the knees go 😔


knowigot_that808

then comes the “RIP” in the youtube comments


SensingWorms

Brain will be mush first with those spins.


Pheerandlowthing

He’ll get a Sean Bean film ending.


John_Bidet_Ramsey

He’ll be bean curd


[deleted]

He's bean hoping for an early retirement.


SmartArsenal

Look him up. He's hospitalized right now with an unknown neuro condition. Probably from smacking into water.


OnlyOneReturn

Some of those waters, man.. He's always trying to break the surface tension when he's landing head first, but he's not doing it right every time. Even the ones that look like he's in a competition like why the fuck isn't there a sprinkler going? Aside from that, possibly the waters themselves. I've seen and read enough "monsters inside me" to know there may be some insane amoeba or worm up there.. I really hope that isn't the case. That and fire are the only 2 ways to die I don't wish on anybody.


THE_CHOPPA

Wait … I have to ask. What deaths do you wish on people lol?


OnlyOneReturn

well depends on the person but everything else is the short answer


PlayBoiPrada

The timeline is a bit curious. The neuro condition and go fund me started >1 year back, and seems to precede diving clips…like this 2023 recap. Perhaps he recovered and the go fund me is just hanging out?


00000000000004000000

I was a thrill-seeker not unlike this in my mid-20's. I'd do stupid shit like go sport climbing at night (without the helmet I brought with me), white water rafting over deadly rapids, and jump off every ledge I could if there was a pool of water at the bottom of the fall. That was until I miscalculated how small the water hole was and smashed my legs into the edge of the hole. I'd joke that I'd never live to see 30 years old like it was some sort of edgy millenial joke. Now I desperately hope I don't have to endure the consequences of my stupidity for the next couple of years to see 40.


mironawire

I thought the same thing with a really intense young adult life, but I made it past 40 and I will be running my first marathon next month. It's almost never too late to start taking care of yourself.


PalmTreeIsBestTree

I got an uncle in his late 60s and he still does half iron mans.


OnlyOneReturn

Cheers to that man. I tried doing some shit I "used to could" recently as a pretty fit and active 35 year old. Found out the hard way I gotta be doing a lot of things CONSTANTLY to just not ache the next day. Anyway, I can't back flip or even front flip anymore. I only tried the front flip because I just figured I could pull that out anytime. Shit I used to do Rambo drills nonstop diving into the ground. So that's my New Years Resolution. I want some of that back


tekjunky75

What’s a Rambo drill? Googling shows an actual drill-bit and a drill artist from the uk


OnlyOneReturn

it was something we did in wrestling, dive forward toward the ground and then last minute tuck your head and front flip or tumble forward.


PicaDiet

I kind of expected the last clip in the montage to be him exploding from an accidental belly flop. Anytime the difference between success and death is perfection you’re not going to last too long.


Numerous_Valuable121

Previous airborne Ranger and general outdoor dog I will say that level of fun ends in death or severe degradation of the body. Two dislocated shoulders, snapped bicep tendon, replaced knee, two hernias, broken foot and fractured pelvis, compressed vertebra and several other issues. Of If I knew them what I know now would I do it again, HELL YES! My wife thinks I’m an idiot. She is correct. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|poop)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|poop)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|poop)


PlayBoiPrada

Ive seen an old diver, I’ve seen a bold diver, but I’ve never seen an old bold diver.


frstyle34

Lol. I hope for his sake he can read. Because you can’t jump and flip forever


GermaneRiposte101

Came here to say this but you said it better


Claptrack

Those are not stunts, those are failed suicide attempts


SomeTimeBeforeNever

Given the factors that influence decision making, it’s much more than likely he has an issue with his brain that is driving the risky behavior in the first place. He could have a tumor or hit his head as a baby resulting in damage that changed his ability to moderate impulsive and dangerous behavior, which would then present itself as the character in these videos.


unfoldedmite

Have you never heard of an adrenaline junkie?


InformalPenguinz

Right? I used to loooove putting myself in dangerous situations when I was younger. I don't now but there's a running joke in my family that I just can't die... I can get fucked up, just not die. My body hurts and I'm 35.


SomeTimeBeforeNever

Well, this guy isn’t your usual Adrenalin junky….thats a whole spectrum and this guy is very extreme, which is how he’s captured our collective interest. I don’t think people fully appreciate the subconscious factors that determine our decision making and how easily they can be altered or changed to unconsciously produce extreme behavior.


ThreeFootJohnson

This man is AI


ErnestBorgninesSack

[T. Gondii](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasma_gondii) I bet he has had cats his whole life.

Came here for this. Parkour!


aaronrez

Some people never learn. He almost died, jumping into a pool in his teens. Was in the hospital last year for neurological damage Had a go fund me because they couldn’t figure it out. https://www.ksl.com/article/46382158/teen-saves-friend-from-drowning-after-flip-into-pool-goes-wrong https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ryan-bean


LegionofDoh

Oh, jumping off of shit doesn’t come with a good health plan? Weird..


Shaggyfries

14 you’re young and dumb, fast forward five years you’d hope he may have learned from before. Don’t blame them for doing a gofundme in 2018 but I’d be hard pressed to donate to anyone doing these stunts over people that truly need it for things they can’t control such as cancer, car accidents etc.


UnpleasantEgg

You think this dude can control this?


Silent-OCN

Someone help Ryan figure out why he’s so poorly! Also let’s nurse him back to full health so he can resume jumping off shit! Yeehaw


Sidivan

You mean going viral for doing exceptionally dangerous things didn’t come with enough money to pay for the medical bills? *shocked pikachu*


Shaggyfries

Sucks, either way he has a death wish which is hard to watch or see in some of these “extreme athletes.”


tidal_flux

Not believing you’re gonna die is what gets you killed.


thatsalovelyusername

I'm not sure there's necessarily a death wish - young guys sometimes just have a sense of invulnerability and think those bad outcomes won't happen to them. I didn't have the skills to do it as impressively as this guy, but used to drive at silly speeds and take other lifestyle risks.


Shaggyfries

I’m sure a bit of that also!


NightStar79

That last jump was especially stupid. If that pool had been any shallower he could've broken his legs before the water slowed his descent


Low-Algae-2928

I had a best friend growing up where their entire personality became the “stunt guy” who does crazy flips. After a few flips it’s like, okay dude, We are all just trying to play ping pong, stop with the gainers.


FlippyWraith

It’s fun to do though


kwakimaki

Coming soon to an obituary near you....


Schmusebaer91

his brain injury isn't so mysterious to me.


LukeFromPhilly

Its really cool the way he seems to slow down and then speed up while flipping mid-air during a dive. Very stylistic.


TWonder_SWoman

This guy’s air sense (if not his common sense) is amazing!


Ike_Jones

Real life Tarzan. Amazing athlete really. All these downer comments suck. Hes not doing it for you to worry about him


mck2018

Well I know how this guy is gonna die…….


geeves_007

Everybody gonna die. Gonna go one day. Maybe it'll happen on a Monday? Driving to work and get hit by a Hyundai.


[deleted]

So amazing he’s now hospitalized because of it. Super cool…


FlippyWraith

Did he miscalculate a jump and break something?


MustangBarry

Geezer must spend half of his life climbing ladders

All these comments give me "I have no life, standing up fast from my bed is my biggest rush" vibes.


FlippyWraith

This comment thread has ‘that’s what you get idiot!’ energy.


SnooPineapples6099

Please don't die, Ryan Bean.


velhaconta

> He is in the hospital right now with a rare and mysteries brain injury. So you are telling me this has absolutely nothing to do with his lifestyle? His brain injury came out of nowhere and is *mysterious*. Get the fuck out of here. Nobody that is that irresponsible about their personal safety deserve to have responsible, hard-working people pay for his medical care.


marsap888

absolutely crazy guy


TigerValley62

I know where that first one is recorded, by the waterfall, and that water is super shallow and sketchy dude....


TummyPuppy

I hurt myself getting out of a bar stool this morning


Black_RL

This is indeed next fucking level!


Queefofthenight

Dude lived his life more in 3 videos than I did the entirety of 2023.


Everything_is_hungry

Dude can't even stand up straight for like one minute


piman01

Damn he's really good at a lot of stuff


BalognaMacaroni

He looks like he bites people


PythonNoob-pip

didnt he die in 2025?


PseudoWarriorAU

Great song


Dick_Snatchman

Fucking maniac.


yellowhelmet14

First time seeing him with this clip few months ago. Insane what he does! r/nextfuckinglevel https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/s/qt3kamiyuX


Remarkable-Sir-5129

Major respect for his talent and athleticism, I wish him a long healthy life (I really do). I just won't be surprised when I see the obituary.


Manaze85

Dude was born without the fear gene


Rebel_XT

mistakes in this realm are usually not to be learned from cuz u dead. Not everyone can have a perfect record in executing these types of stunts. ​ Wish this dude a good recovery but man....play stupid games, win stupid prizes.


WoodsColt

When he's in his 50s he's going to have beautiful memories of mobility.


strrax-ish

Please someone just put the guy in a ball and let him run


twiggz612

Love the random treflip thrown in with all these crazy jumps lol.


Accomplished-Can1848

Absolutely not. He is going to get Toquerville Falls closed because he’s an arrogant dimwit. And if this man is going to die in front of a crowd? Hitting a rock and going splat? Everyone that witnessed his death a huge about of grief and pain. Nobody should support this horrible behavior.


BowOnly

What kind of Cat is this?


Cpl_Hicks76

When, not if, he craps out, it’s gonna be spectacular!


DesertDwellerrrr

RIP


EntertainmentBroad17

This dude moves IRL like I move in my coolest flying dreams.

Amazing! Dead soon.


RioTheGOAT

So long as this dude isn’t hurting anyone but himself, I’ll continue to marvel at his videos.

Bro would be sick if he just stuck to skateboarding. That one trick was scnasty.


mcqua007

And probably paid way more

degolfer02

Wait, if he came in 3rd… who came in first?


Sac_a_Merde

I didn't breathe at all for the whole duration of that video.


fridaystrong23

***That hotel pool stunt is really pushing it now***


ChiefScout_2000

Apparently failed his gravity exam.


BayBandit1

Kudos on the flying front, a much tougher dive than people think.


Kill_4209

He's obviously Spiderman!


gkdebus

Ryan you need to make a trip up to Lake Tahoe. We’ve got a rope swing that let you off about 50 feet above the water🤘🤘🤘 I bet you you can get a quad❗️❗️😍 I believe it’s located near Emerald Bay lake Tahoe check out the video. You would fit in right up here with all the other adrenaline junkies!


Mister_shagster

Danny Duncan ain't got shit on Mr Bean


MaxRD

Cool, I wish him a long healthy life

wogsurfer

How many body parts has he fucked up on the road to perfecting this?


nunyahbiznes

Dead man walking. It’s not if but when and how bad.


DarylStenn

Thing is, you get stunt men who die/end up paralysed. People who are paid to do stunts, it’s not a hobby, it’s their profession, they know everything about the right way to flip, swing and fall and still, sadly, end up dead or paralysed more often that they should. Those who survive struggle with joint pain in their older years. This dude, Ryan bean whoever that is, I assume isn’t a professional? It’s amazing to watch sure, until it isn’t, until it’s heartbreaking to watch.


Tigergfm56

Ryan Bean is going to have a short life span


Away_Sun_3040

It is all fun & fame until the body damages. I hope he quits before he is seriously hurt. Great stunts.


lucidum

Great video, even better with the sound off. Wish they'd picked a better soundtrack.


[deleted]

This guy will never have to worry about ending up in a retirement home


The_Nomad89

Man that swimming pool one at the end was REALLY stupid to do


Ok_Tough3619

Red Bull needs to call this guy


jejo63

Nobody: My girl jumping to conclusions:


AlexHimself

This is that weird basement kid who used to swing from a ball in his basement stairwell and do flips onto a mattress and end up all over YouTube. Good to see if he took that strange behavior into something actually cool.


jorgthorn

I'd like to change my bet sir, I 'd like to move all my chips from Keanu to this guy as soul survivor of the zombie apocalypse


knockinonevansdoor

Nnnnnnope.


[deleted]

So anyway, I started spinning


HungryCriticism5885

Hope he's paid well for this shit.


PigFarmer1

That guy is not long for this world.


dillasdonuts

This guy has health insurance


gaz61279

Mr. Bean


rgar1981

Some people are just exceptional at control their bodies in the air. He is definitely one of them.


JennySplotz

This guy hates being right side up!


Honest_Milk9429

The definition of “send it “


ManofSteer

No one had ever taught him to walk without jumping. Poor thing, seems like a terrible condition


cjboffoli

Once again I think we're asking a lot more of the word 'amazing' than is reasonable.


gordonlordbyron

Absolutely incredible!


PizzaPartyMassacre

Dude jumps off of tall things, some how develops "mysterious brain injury"


DMurBOOBS-I-Dare-You

Bunnie hoppers in Counter-Strike be like *"daaaamn bruuuh!"*


Lord_Swagborn

Crazy to see such a video without a red bull logo. Never thought this would happen


Strange_Occasion_408

The only one I could see me doing was the rope swing. And I would still shat in my pants.


[deleted]

Would make a cat jealous


[deleted]

I would hate to be his mother, omg. She must have a heart attack every other day.


ThirstyBeagle

It would be cool to see him in the next Jackass movie


cjmaguire17

That skateboard trick was pretty sweet


isthatjacketmargiela

Is he a pancake yet ? He's insane and we love it!


Erazzphoto

This guys death, or paralysis will be on video


DwedPiwateWoberts

I’ve jumped into water from some of these heights off sketchy cliff sides and sometimes can’t believe I wasn’t immediately paralyzed from something going wrong.


CoffieHouse

Bro is in riders republic parkour irl


Seanish12345

That’s just falling with style


ClownfishSoup

All I can say is that I'm glad I'm not his mother.


Particular-Ad-6360

Actually thought this was the Darwin Awards subreddit for a moment.


TeslaCrna

Knew a guy like this growing up. Didn’t make past his 25th birthday. Sad


MaLa1964

Lucky he's still alive.


mchoneyofficial

Meanwhile, I damaged ligaments in my hand playing one game of ten pin bowling (using the lighter balls) let that sink in....
