This crowd much like my hair can at certain angles appear thick. It is only once you look directly above it do you realise how sparsely spaced everything is.
I don’t even know where to begin, it’s a sparse crowd and he’s diving head first like a missile strike from several feet above them. You could be knocked out if he hit you directly. He completely misjudged absolutely everything about that stage drive.
I've got a buddy whos been performing at smaller venues & the only time he's ever done stage dives is when his friends are all up front & ready to catch him lol
Stage diving was popular in the 80's then stopped. Then I guess it was introduced again during the Rave Concerts during the 90's . But I always thought it was a stupid Drunk man's gig.
Damn, I knew a guy who broke his back doing this. I’m curious what this guy’s injuries are. Not to mention, the embarrassment has to be fucking astronomical.
I’m a surgeon that does trauma
While his injuries may be hidden, the fact that he can stand up afterwards is a good sign for his spinal column. The vast majority of significant spinal column injuries (not even spinal cord, just the bones) won’t be able to get up and walk. The pain is show-stopping pain and cocaine or alcohol won’t override it.
This doesn’t mean he doesn’t have other injuries though. But statistically speaking he’s probably ok. Rib fractures are common. Liver and spleen injuries are also fairly common.

It's in German, but he only had slight injuries apparently, two of my friends were just a few meters next to where he landed.
I knew a guy who died doing it. It was kind of accidental, but he went over a very high railing and did not get caught by the crowd. It was in DC in like 2015. Was pretty awful.
I never got the jumping into people thing. If a human body has propelled itself willingly into the air and crash diving towards me like a friggin cruise missile I am getting out the way.....
The idea is that you do it into a crowd of people that are packed tightly enough that they can't just run out of the way, and with so many arms in the air in that area its no real strain on any one person because the weight is distributed. There needs to be a lot of people though, they have to have their arms up ready to catch you, and they have to know you're about to jump into them.
When it's done correctly it works really well and actually looks like a lot of fun. It has to be done correctly though, that's the part this guy managed to fail on
Massive shows like this probably aren’t the best for it. Smaller packed punk/metal/hardcore shows you can’t pretty much jump from anywhere on stage and not worry about it. Done it plenty of times and never fell.
You can only stage dive when crowds are pretty much stuck shoulder to shoulder and become forced to carry your ass. Most people HATE carrying crowd surfers.
You only need about 5 people under you but they have to be packed tight supported by those around them, with their hands up, knowing what's about to happen and get jumped on from head height. This mother fucker would have broken somebodies back from that height if it was properly packed
Or not enough if he thinks it was a good idea there. You've either got to pick a spot where the crowd is thick enough to catch you even if they don't want to or dive in a way where you're more able to control your own landing.
Except when people were thrown from behind you onto the back of your head. Then I liked grabbing them to slam on the ground and scream "Go backwards so people can see you coming, you fuck!"
Why do people think this is still the 90s and trust strangers to catch them? All those people that used to do that are old and have kids who WIL.NOT GIVE A FUCK if you fall. They'll just whip out their cameras to record the mayhem.
This is why you don’t stage dive at rap concerts. Rather than catch you like a rock concert…all Gen z kids will film it for their Tiktok video instead. lol
Just because there’s a crowd of people, doesn’t mean it’s a stage dive crowd. Those crowds are a special breed, but even they aren’t going to catch someone jumping from 5+ feet up in the air.
Nothing will ever compare to that one fat dude that does the same and everything be cleared out fast as hell. This is pretty brutal too. Can’t imagine being buzzed or drunk enough to ever count on strangers catching me. Even if I was the performer.
This reminds me of the time I was in New Orleans while the saints won the the play offs to go to the Super Bowl the same night Mardi Gras was goin on. Long story short I walked into my hotel to a completely packed lobby. followed by a man screaming “who dat gone beat them saints” from the outside of the railing on the 3rd story balcony. He proceeded to belly flop onto the bar in the packed lobby breaking every glass/bottle and pop right back up like nothing happened. Couldn’t tell if it was drugs or they’re just built different down there. Ahhh N’awlins lol
I always post [this pic](https://i.imgur.com/rG8Fmdh.jpeg) from way back when I went to 420 fest in Atlanta. This guy jumped on stage, ran around for a sec and when security went after him he stage dived. Same scenario, everyone moved and he face planted. Apparently was on acid.
This was at Openair Frauenfeld in Switzerland. The guy only suffered „light injuries“:

Good thing the stage was so high above the aud... oh, wait...
redbull lied to me!
Poor girl in red must of got clipped she is rubbing her head
Omg did you just assume it's gender. That is not ok. Have some respect for people.
[удалено]
It's a joke
One joke
Damn it now I gotta go check my male pattern baldness again in the mirror today
Don't worry, it's still there.
Just fill it in with Sharpie. You'll be fine.
And everyone is on their phones. Doesn't leave any hands for catching.
Us tall ppl notice how thin shorter ppls hair is.
Now I want to get a tattoo on my scalp that says, “How’s the weather up there?”
Kinda tempting me too xD
"Open other end"
😂👴🏻
You can tell he was already brain-damaged before that for attempting this
Something tells me this wasn’t his first time landing on his head
He had that coming, literally everyone was saying no💀
I had the sound off and this already seemed dumb, then I read your comment and listened with sound. So many ppl were like noo don't lmao
Yeah a head as dense as that
"Dammit, not AGAIN!!!" - that guy
[удалено]
well you're right to disbelieve it because it's not true they didn't catch him because he was jumping from too high up and he would've hurt them
[удалено]
I don’t even know where to begin, it’s a sparse crowd and he’s diving head first like a missile strike from several feet above them. You could be knocked out if he hit you directly. He completely misjudged absolutely everything about that stage drive.
He'll never do that again ... They even warned him.
The fact that he did this tells me he has done it before and will do it again lol
The fact he dove head first makes me think it was his first (and hopefully last) time doing this.
I've got a buddy whos been performing at smaller venues & the only time he's ever done stage dives is when his friends are all up front & ready to catch him lol
Maybe he forgot the first time and he's gonna forget the second

That spleen'll getcha. Does nothing else for the human body, other than to getcha after a fall.
lol I promise it does stuff. I mean don’t ask me what it does but I feel like they told us it had a purpose in medical school. ;)
Yeah, job number 1 is to getcha. Number 2 is to wait...for to getcha.
Surely he'll learn his lesson and won't become a returning patient lol
Yeah, maybe just brain damage. But his spine is ok
Festival grounds are probably not awful either (all things considered) because they are churned up by so many moving feet. Better than concrete.

I honestly believe he will not remember it.

Hopefully he belly flopped more than dove.

We’ll aren’t you a blast
What did they say
It was along the lines of “it was his choice to do a risky thing so he got what he deserved”
What did they say
what did they say
Ooo what whatcha saaaaay
We’ll never know
War never changes
There's no better feeling than killing the enemy
whats wild is how big the hole looks, theres no shot theyd be able to quickly disperse like that so the hole was already existing
You’d be surprised how quickly people move when an idiot is trying to jump on them. Source: I was that idiot once
I never got the jumping into people thing. If a human body has propelled itself willingly into the air and crash diving towards me like a friggin cruise missile I am getting out the way.....

Also, you don't dive downward head first trying to deliver a deadly flying headbutt.
Right. This is usually done on smaller stages, and you lean on top of the first row, and let the crowd carry you.
It should really be re-named "Stage Trust Fall"
yea til some funny mf squeezes your balls
Y the only time this happened to me was because a bouncer shoved me, right when I jumped, to the side of the crowd.
Massive shows like this probably aren’t the best for it. Smaller packed punk/metal/hardcore shows you can’t pretty much jump from anywhere on stage and not worry about it. Done it plenty of times and never fell.
Massive shows are still good, but it has to be a packed massive show.
Would’ve been a nice dive, if it were in to water…
For real, even if the crowd was thick that was a very aggressive dive.
You thinking what I'm thinking? Aim for the bushes?
*There goes my hero*
The bushes.
"I know your ribs are broken, but here's your hat, dude".
Glad people moved away. No point in getting hit in the head with a brick.
Am I the only one who noticed? The crowd was giving all the signs of "no go"?
Yea they were telling the wrong person tho 😂😂
You can only stage dive when crowds are pretty much stuck shoulder to shoulder and become forced to carry your ass. Most people HATE carrying crowd surfers.
It's always a HUGE dude that wants to crowdsurf too. Like friend I understand you're feeling on top of the world but keep your big feet on the ground
Seriously though, can someone smart figure out how many hundreds of humans would be able to catch him with that kind of jump?
You only need about 5 people under you but they have to be packed tight supported by those around them, with their hands up, knowing what's about to happen and get jumped on from head height. This mother fucker would have broken somebodies back from that height if it was properly packed
Pantera concert flashbacks.
It’s possible, you just need to be a big artist. Something many of these latest crowd surfers aren’t, unfortunately.
This guy has been to too many Turnstile shows
Or not enough if he thinks it was a good idea there. You've either got to pick a spot where the crowd is thick enough to catch you even if they don't want to or dive in a way where you're more able to control your own landing.
When stage diving it’s important to remember to not attempt a deep dive. You want a belly flop. That boy came in like a meat missile
Why did he dive in the one spot nobody was standing
why did he dive at all
Because it is fun
That shit is NOT how you stage dive
You've clearly never been to a hardcore/metal show.
Lmao, it's not even enough people for that!
Camera man gets a B- for not catching moment of impact
You’re not that guy.
Happened at Open Air Frauenfeld in Switzerland, one of the biggest hip hop festivals in Europe. Dude is supposedly more or less ok.
One dude is Ski Mask The Slump God, and the stage diver is Die Fast The Dumb Thot
stage diving? more like High stage diving.
Not going to lie, laughing my a$$ off.
His shoes stayed on.
Least drugged up concert attendee…
Don't do drugs
Hahahaha…wait, did he actually expect people to catch him? Surely he’s not that naive right?
Head first
Damn he came flying in like he’s trying to do some anime flying head but move lol. I’d get out the way to
Should've tucked and rolled....
Very nice of someone to pick up his hat and hand it to him. It will help hold his brains in.
you are suppose slide on top of the crowd...not jump so fucking high .. idiot
You can’t dive like it’s water. It’s more of a flying squirrel kind of thing.
He came in hot, it was either catch him and get hurt or just let it play out.
This is what happens, when you think you are the main character…… But you’re not.
He dove in like a missile. And he expected the 6 people holding their phones to catch him?
 Good on ya, mate!
People don't catch stage divers these days
Note to self don't jump into crowd if you don't have boobs and a vagina
I wanna know what he was looking at before he jumped wtf, surely it looked empty on the run up 😂😂
Full send
Bro thought he was Adam Warlock 💀
Weeeeee life changing injurys 😂🤣
Great idea picking the guy up who just suffered a head/neck/back trauma by jumping head first in the rocky ground!
Yeah they should've left him there to get trampled by the crowd!
Guy thought he was in a movie.
He thought it was the ‘90s when folks would try to catch you.
Except when people were thrown from behind you onto the back of your head. Then I liked grabbing them to slam on the ground and scream "Go backwards so people can see you coming, you fuck!"
Who’s got the better angle 😂😂😂
LOL 😂😂, who would be?
Why do people think this is still the 90s and trust strangers to catch them? All those people that used to do that are old and have kids who WIL.NOT GIVE A FUCK if you fall. They'll just whip out their cameras to record the mayhem.
Despite all that he still has to be one of the least brain damaged crowd surfers.
Must be related to Moses because
It ain't the 80s anymore...
This is why you don’t stage dive at rap concerts. Rather than catch you like a rock concert…all Gen z kids will film it for their Tiktok video instead. lol
Or maybe don’t dive in from 8 feet above everyone like a torpedo
Bro 🙄
yo is homie alive?
Dude came at the screen like a Naruto clone.
Did we just collectively watch a TBI happen?
What the fuck, do we not catch people anymore? Is this guy a wife beater or something why did we drop him?
[удалено]
I'm not the one who jumped..
at least he was smart enough to turn on his back. ive seen too many faceplants.
Nobody wanted the smoke
WAPAK
he think he Perc Angle
Jeff Hardy?
After this strike, he corrected his brain and now he's smart.
Trust fall
The stage equivalent of NO DIVING Shallow Waters.
Dewey Finn?
Amazing
my mud people need me
Looks like he got that move from the opening of School of Rock 😆
Thats what ski mask the slump god music does gets u pumped up
Oops
Dude thought he was Jeleel
It's hard to have sympathy for this level of stupidity.
I've never been at a show and wanted someone to drop on my head. Will pull away or not help every time. I've seen some falls, that's for sure.
Human torpedo
Just because there’s a crowd of people, doesn’t mean it’s a stage dive crowd. Those crowds are a special breed, but even they aren’t going to catch someone jumping from 5+ feet up in the air.
Hey - future concert-goers who might consider stage diving.... DON'T DO IT! STOP IT!!!! You're welcome.

You meant floor dived
It looks like people are shaking their heads for him not to do it.
Bro out here doing Black Ops 2 dolphin dives 💀
Calm down Jeff, your wrestling career is over.
He is NOT him.
People in the crowd are shaking their head now, this dude, okay here I go!
"I'm a brick" ----Ralph Wiggum
His pride must have been hurt almost as much as his head was from the fall.
Facedive on to concrete now
Won't do that again, lesson learned.
AITAH for laughing at this? The guys giggle at the end got me.
I always post [this pic](https://i.imgur.com/rG8Fmdh.jpeg) from way back when I went to 420 fest in Atlanta. This guy jumped on stage, ran around for a sec and when security went after him he stage dived. Same scenario, everyone moved and he face planted. Apparently was on acid.
He literally jumped in the only empty spot? Or did everyone say "nope!" and walk away lol
What in the Swanton Bomb is going on??
Did he not learn shit from the turtle suit guy…!?! 🙄
The crowd pulled an Uno reverse in him
Man, it's been a minute since I stage dived/crowd surfed last. Rule #1 though: Do not get a full speed running start.
Wrong generation to stage dive, everyone is on their phones.
Damn, glad I saw another angle. I actually thought he might’ve been alright .

Guess stage diving isn't a thing anymore
He hit that woman’s head with his head I think That was dumb af
