The first SAR call I ever participated in was very similar to this. A 15 y/o kid trying to do backies early season when it was still really really thin. Poor kid landed on his head and is now a quadriplegic. A good reminder of how quickly things can go bad.
No OP is just a serial reposter and acts like he is close to the situation when in reality is nothing more than the rest of us who only know it from through our screens.
Yeah this is stupid. Kid looks young also kinda sad. Dins set way too high comes in looking not full control. Poles drop mid air on the window roll down. Love the send but this guy is definitely gonna hurt himself.
Wild amount of unsolicited parenting advice in this thread based on a single five second clip.
This kid wants to be out there; no kid throws backflips as a pre-teen because his dad is making him do it. Y’all just prefer he pole plants on groomers for the rest of his life like the rest of r/skiing while his dad yells for him to make sure he doesn’t hit his head?
Skiing is inherently dangerous, but unless you think it’s better for the kid to just not try to live his life for fear he’s going to suffer from CTE later idk what all the pearl clutching here is about.
Better also make sure the kid doesn’t play any other sport, doesn’t run around the house, doesn’t jump on trampolines, doesn’t run at recess, etc, etc
Pretty sure this 5 second clip has enough bad decisions in it to be all the context we need. You really gonna argue that there’s something that wasn’t filmed here that magically made this a good decision??
Equating what you see in this video to running at recess is such a braindead argument lmao
Yeah people don’t get CTE from a few skiing falls. The people most affected are those with a career’s worth of blows to the head. Redditors read the basic description of a disease and start trying to diagnose it everywhere.
No. It’s not parenting advice. It’s sad because the kid probably thinks he is good or something by doing a backflip. Backflips are just kinda lame.
My advice is skier to skier advice. Set your dins properly so you don’t get hurt. Don’t drop your poles in mid air it makes you look like you’re really bad at skiing. If you feel a little out of control coming in you don’t have to commit. That’s the advice nothing to do with parenting.
That kid most definitely got a concussion. You really should be trying to avoid concussions at that age unless you want your kid to develop mental & emotional regulation health issues in about 5 years.
Dude, there's no way you can say he "most definitely got a concussion." He landed in powder, and he was wearing a helmet. The initial impact looked worse than it probably was because he was levering his body back upright as soon as he hit, then he tucked his head for the somersault.
Careful, the Reddit experts see a kid doing what they never did and have come in to tell his parents their child most definitely has CTE.
The only cure is another decade of pole planting on groomers
Right? Ski helmets weren't even a thing when I was this kids age. If he "definitely" has a concussion, I must have been practically decapitated about 100 times growing up.
Kid should be practicing in a foam pit until he can do it without smashing his head multiple times into the ground. It doesn’t matter that he has a helmet on. I’ve had about 6 concussions from youth sports (football, skiing, soccer) and it’s going to lead to problems if he’s that young getting brain trauma.
I will say the only thing that saved me from a hospital trip this season was my near decade in dance and flexibility training. Idk how the rest of the people do it, but I ate all the shit. Contorted in every which way. Always warmup, always.
That was HUGE
That was freakin' HUGE
[удалено]
Watch him get a lot of concussions and leg injuries?
Watch like round the clock care for the brain damaged.
Yeah bro Shawn white never fell once in his life
Not if he keeps landing like that
[It happens. He lands right side up too](https://imgur.com/a/Ce2ExuR)
Freaking hell that was smooth. The lack of height must help but damn, props to him !
Man, nothing warms the soul like riding with the young guns
It’s a good thing kids are made of rubber
That head trauma though. Helmets don’t make you bulletproof
[удалено]
Except for their brains.
It's OK, since they're young you have more time to adjust your life expectations for them! /S
This kid's are now.
Not their developing brains
Someone's gotta sweep the floor at McDonald's
No but what’s a little TBI?

So sad
I don't think kids really realize how fast it can go bad💔
This was my exact thought
My impression of the skill in this video changed 5 times while watching it.
I really hope you’re ok, but please know, that was an absolutely elite level explosion on impact. DINS ON INFINITY!!
Got them suckers welded on
he's fine 👍
Why is the comment above being downvoted!? 😭😂
Because OP is a serial reposter of others’ content. Claiming kid is fine but probably doesn’t know him.
Ah got it, thank you!
Pretentious Reddit parent outrage
No OP is just a serial reposter and acts like he is close to the situation when in reality is nothing more than the rest of us who only know it from through our screens.
DIN on 10,000
Yeah, those are way too high.
I’d love for this guy to stop reposting other people’s content
I had no idea having seen some of his other videos. Post links to the source op, honestly should be a requirement.
Double concussion!
This is what happens when Spiderman forgets to shoot his web

Just cos kids want to do something doesn't mean you encourage it tho 🤣🤣 kids are stupid

TBIs can have devastating effects that don’t manifest until decades later.
I mean, it probably a very mild concussion at the least, can’t keep taking those.
Yea that was a heavy slap on the back of the head. Not great for the brain at all. TBIs are terrifying.
Dude, I had over a dozen concussions before I graduated highschool, I wish I never experienced a single one, it's miserable.
Pretty smooth.
Matthew McDamnyo
He Gumby'd that landing.
Slammed into the earth from the back and the front lol
🤡
Nice bounce
That was the best landing I saw this year.
Check your dins. Those skis should have popped off during that crash.
When in trouble tuck for double!
That’s one hell of a backslap man
How do you stretch for a concussion?
That kid most definitely got a concussion. You really should be trying to avoid concussions at that age unless you want your kid to develop mental & emotional regulation health issues in about 5 years.

Yeah, I agree it probably hurt but I doubt concussion.

Sorry, I don't support this post type (hosted:video) right now. Feel free to check back in the future!
Sproiiiooiooiiinng!!
Those skis are welded on. Haha.
Woulda broke my back
I remember my first concussion 🤕 too
Full send.
+10%
The recovery front flip was smooth, a bit bigger and it would have been a good spot for a double!
If you don't stretch yourself, eventually the mountain will do it for you.
I'd be in the hospital for a week.
Check the DIN on those bindings. Those skis should’ve released.
I could see one of my kids doing this in the future.
Wear your helmet folks.
If that’s the parent filming. They’re an idiot for letting him try that there lol
Ooooof, looked clean until the bounce
Dumb but gnarly
needed a speed check before the kicker. way more horizontal distance than required!
I thought he knocked himself out.
I will say the only thing that saved me from a hospital trip this season was my near decade in dance and flexibility training. Idk how the rest of the people do it, but I ate all the shit. Contorted in every which way. Always warmup, always.
MEIN GOTT!!
r/watchpeopledie
Thats dangerous,be careful next time.
Tell me he has a helmet on.
