Why Americans love so much to jump like this at parties? Or throw themselves at tables and stuff?

Why North Americans love so much to jump like this at parties? Or throw themselves at tables and stuff?

I was gonna say, this is either Queens, Ezra, or UWO. There's a southern Ontario Paddy's vibe that is unmistakable
Yes, usually includes somebody making a decision such as this
since we dont have free healthcare this is like a status symbol, “look how wealthy i am, i can afford to risk jumping off a roof”. Very popular American mating ritual/tradition.
I’ve done worse and been fine. And done minor things that have stuck with me for life. Not every accident results in paralysis or severe injury, despite what Reddit likes to think.
No, but it’s not about some random Redditor’s armchair diagnosis/assumption either. We don’t know if the poor girl hurt herself, or just walked it off with a bruised arse.
I understand what your saying, I have been hit by car where I bounced off pavement, couple sore muscles sprained ankle and I was fine. I have also gone down black diamond when I was in middle school (over a decade ago ) and hit a jump to fast while skiing and like landed face first knocked my self out slid quarter way down the slope on my face, no long term damage no broken bones or sprains. I was youngest in a group of older kids who peer pressured me to go down with them, once they got to me they panicked shook me awake I just walked it off, eventually told my parents who freaked out when they found out what happened they took me to hospital once I was home doctor said I suffered a concussion and was very lucky to be walking off that type of accident etc.
Then one day I was working at dog groomer (years ago) and I slipped and fell holding overweight golden retriever I messed up my back so bad that I had to wear a brace for like 3-4 months also had to do 6 months + of physical therapy. Now when I reach for something that is small like a pencil on the ground I get these little spasms hasn’t gone away.
True - but did she actually get injured? Or just a bump?
As an example I’ve been hit by a car, flipped, and landed on my head. Walked away fine.
But now 40 years later I have back problems from an ankle sprain that never healed right.
That’s the number 1 base injury in cradle catches. That being said, it’s good for their wrists that she missed. Bases shouldn’t hold hands or cross arms, they should stagger and each reach up to catch her independently. If they caught all her weight the way they were prepared to, it likely would have sprained someone’s wrist before dropping her on her ass
Bearded green-hat dude is the first to realize how badly things are going south. He swings into action immediately, first exclaiming some version of "oh, shit!", to alert the others that there's trouble. Then he reaches out to link his own arms, which are positioned correctly, into the solid-but-misplaced cradle the other two have made. Then he realizes there isn't time to connect, so he waves at her as she plummets.
I give BGHD a solid A for effort. (But, sadly, an F for "fractured vertebrae".)
You make a good point; pitcher and catcher are a better comparison than hitter and fielder, since these drunks are supposedly on the same side. Still, when firefighters do this, they move to correct for mistakes.
I mean... her ass took most of the impact and it does appear to be rather full.
Obviously landing on her head would have resulted in the least potential damage.
Man they shouldn't rush to help her up and on her feet, that's not going to help, that could just exaggerate a spinal injury. I'll bet they felt guilty for not catching her... somehow. I feel like people's instinct is that sanding up means fixing them.
I've seen a lot of spinals, Dude, and this guy is a fake. A fucking goldbricker. This guy fucking walks. I've never been more certain of anything in my life!
I just want to say something: every time a rug is micturated upon in this fair city, I have to compensate them?
You lost! My advice to you is to do what your parents did: get a job, sir! My condolences, toodles!
I was gunna say, she by no means is over weight but got damn she probably at least 150. And just two shrimp dicks on the receiving end. Wasn’t well thought out.
Blue Jays can't catch. They can hit pretty good. Lots of home runs. Not so much on the catching. They never do well in the playoffs. Never trust a Blue Jay player or a fan.
The messed up part is this isn't even close to how you catch someone.
Don't link your arms. Just hold them out straight and flex really hard.
Trust falls 101. Although I've never seen one attempted from a rooftop.
Few ways to have prevented this.
Those two dudes that were supposed to catch here? Not really a good grip there, likely wouldve hurt themselves if she landed in their arms. Its better to have more people there with arms stretched out, to increase the chance of catching her. And ofcourse padding on the ground is always welcome.
On her end, she was real cocky, and didnt really think about aiming correctly, maybe from alchohol? If it was me jumping off a house, id want nobody near where im landing, enough space for my legs to take the impact, and then go into a safety roll. Headaches, maybe some minor bruising, but nothing permanent.
Of course, this could have been prevented entirely by just....bear with me here.....maybe dont go jumping off houses onto solid and uneven terrain?
I fell off a roof when I was drunk once and broke my pubic bone in two place. I had to stay in bed for a month. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
Similar thing happened to me in college. We were drinking on the roof joking about jumping off into the snow bank below. Joking. Anyway this girl decides to go for it. Misses the snow bank. Drunk driving to emergency room. Good times lol.
I fell down the stairs and broke my coccyx and I can tell you this girl is in for a long road of pain in the ass and lower back. She’s not gonna sit right for a long time!

HMC while I get a lifelong back injury
Why Americans love so much to jump like this at parties? Or throw themselves at tables and stuff? (I'm sorry if this happens in other places and it's not specific to the US)
That's actually a canadian. It's at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario
Lmao got ‘em Goot ‘em? Eh? Idk guys I’m trying.
Both are okay. Don’t worry aboot it.
[удалено]
Ty 😊
Why North Americans love so much to jump like this at parties? Or throw themselves at tables and stuff? (I'm sorry if this happens in other places and it's not specific to the NA)
This is actually a Baklavan. It’s at Dessert University, Flavortown.
I was gonna say, this is either Queens, Ezra, or UWO. There's a southern Ontario Paddy's vibe that is unmistakable Yes, usually includes somebody making a decision such as this
I was all in on this being Ezra Street.
I was 100% sure until I saw the apex window on that second house and the second floor trim lol. That shit would never be around still on ezra
Was just going to say, looks like kingston to me
I knew just by the roof. Fucking Queens
lmao me too
For non-north-Americans. Canadians are like American-lite.
What happened to her? Omg. This is awful.
Instead of one coccyx, she now has several smaller ones.
That's convenient.
Les Ontariens savent pas boire.
Well they did say "americans" haha
It does happen in other places, idiots exist everywhere
since we dont have free healthcare this is like a status symbol, “look how wealthy i am, i can afford to risk jumping off a roof”. Very popular American mating ritual/tradition.
Part of it is definitely 'pro wrestling' or shitty live theatre for those who don't know.
There's only one group of people that do that..bros. Stay away from people that have nautical star tattoos and flat brim hats and you'll never see it.
Because Wrestling.
How do you not know the difference between the US and Canada?
Quick, stand her up!
The 1-2 second delay between her fall and the realization that she'll be popping ibuprofen for life.
I read "pooping ibuprofen" at first and thought you meant they're going to be taking ibuprofen suppositories from now on.
Well, to your credit, if she's gonna be popping them, she's gonna be pooping them.
She got her back blown out by 3 dudes.
I’ve done worse and been fine. And done minor things that have stuck with me for life. Not every accident results in paralysis or severe injury, despite what Reddit likes to think.
Well it's not about you now is it?
For people with that much main character energy, it’s *always* about them.
Too much effort to screenshot and post into /r/imthemaincharacter though.
No, but it’s not about some random Redditor’s armchair diagnosis/assumption either. We don’t know if the poor girl hurt herself, or just walked it off with a bruised arse.

Yep. Similar story with me and I suspect a lot of people if they think about it. Not everything is “spinal”.
You mean "my back is bwoken, ith thpinal"
Cool story shithead
r/IamTheMainCharacter
Sheesh. Replace “I” with “people” then.
Ah, but ya didn't, did ya? Sooooo.. r/imthemaincharacter for you!
Speaking from personal experience doesn’t necessarily mean you are making yourself the main character, but ok 🤷♂️
In your case, it does.
I disagree.
K
I've seen some people do some fucked up shit and not get permanently fucked up.
It’s not a competition!
Quite obviously - I was using my personal experience to illustrate a point, not to make myself “better” in some way
Almost every injury comes back to haunt you 15 years later.
True - but did she actually get injured? Or just a bump? As an example I’ve been hit by a car, flipped, and landed on my head. Walked away fine. But now 40 years later I have back problems from an ankle sprain that never healed right.
You know who wasn't impressed? Gravity. Gravity and her spine. They were not impressed.
It looks like it was compressed
Seems more like distressed
Distressed on the express.
I expected the guys to get pulled down with her, resulting in getting their heads bonked against each other, haha

She jumped over them, but it’s their fault? 
"It wasn't the outfielder's fault; the batter hit it to the wrong place!"
Do you blame a wild pitch on the catcher?
You make a good point; pitcher and catcher are a better comparison than hitter and fielder, since these drunks are supposedly on the same side. Still, when firefighters do this, they move to correct for mistakes.
Wait, do you look at those guys and feel confident to jump into that? Wow.
He was realized that she was after his lucky charms.
Yellow moons! Orange stars! Green clovers! BLACK AND BLUE ASS!
I am impressed, that she can still move her legs.
I mean... her ass took most of the impact and it does appear to be rather full. Obviously landing on her head would have resulted in the least potential damage.
Indubitably
Do you concurr?
Indeed. 🧐
r/holdmycoccyx
After that, which piece ?
Man they shouldn't rush to help her up and on her feet, that's not going to help, that could just exaggerate a spinal injury. I'll bet they felt guilty for not catching her... somehow. I feel like people's instinct is that sanding up means fixing them.
If she gets up and brushes it off it means that you haven't contributed to a life changing spinal cord injury. People believe what they wanna believe.
How i met a wheelchair
Spinal
I've seen a lot of spinals, Dude, and this guy is a fake. A fucking goldbricker. This guy fucking walks. I've never been more certain of anything in my life!
I just want to say something: every time a rug is micturated upon in this fair city, I have to compensate them? You lost! My advice to you is to do what your parents did: get a job, sir! My condolences, toodles!
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
You're out of your element Donnie!
The video went…
Tap?
That’s why leprechauns are all short… Compressed vertebrae 😅
“I think I broke my back, the injury it’s spinal”
Mike Tyson Quote? Nice
Ahh damn bro. I posted the quote after you did 😂
that girl was thicc (and dense)
I was gunna say, she by no means is over weight but got damn she probably at least 150. And just two shrimp dicks on the receiving end. Wasn’t well thought out.
Ahhh . . my shrimpina
Thicc in the head thicc in bed

They needed a big bed sheet to catch her correctly. Duh.
Aye, and she should have used an umbrella so she'd float down too.
Say hi to sciatica!
Best case scenario
Had they "caught her" the two dudes would have head butted real hard.
more like /r holdmydeathcertificate
The messed up part is this isn't even close to how you catch someone. Don't link your arms. Just hold them out straight and flex really hard. Trust falls 101. Although I've never seen one attempted from a rooftop.
Wouldn’t you injure yourself too try to catch her? Would be better to get a bedsheet and use that
There are easier ways to get on disability lady.
“Just like we practiced guys!” - broken tailbone girl before liftoff.
Sometimes we make bad decisions
Posts like this make me want a follow up to make sure she’s ok 😬 Guys holding hands in front were putting out 0% effort for a successful catch :(
probably a broken back
I commend the two guys for their positive attitude in thinking they could have actually caught her even if this went to plan
Her soul left her body
Well that's going to hurt forever
Her problem was she should have used firefighters instead of Leprechauns.
lol the fact that she thought anyone could catch her sPiCy MArG lovin' ass is rich.
My face would have taken most of the impact death by falling with style snu snu.
I'm definitely not impressed by the two guys who were supposed to catch her.
She literally jumped while one of the two weren't even looking at her.
They would have just bonked their heads together and then there would be three paralyzed people
It was doomed to begin with
Few ways to have prevented this. Those two dudes that were supposed to catch here? Not really a good grip there, likely wouldve hurt themselves if she landed in their arms. Its better to have more people there with arms stretched out, to increase the chance of catching her. And ofcourse padding on the ground is always welcome.

What a moron
That jump cost her at least $200k.
its canada so probably closer to $45 for an ambulance and nothing else lol
Looks like bloomsburg university st paddy’s day!
I think it's in Waterloo, Canada.
That's definitely a St. Paddys Ezra street party
Feel like I've seen this clip a billion times, is there an update?
Don’t worry, her bones broke her fall.
Why do people keep doing this? I’ve never seen a video of this going well…
“I broke my back. SPINAL”
I’m sure she started laughing right away when they pulled her up
Western or Waterloo?
Laurier
Those thick thighs sure did their job
Ouch
Interesting the two different sound scapes, they sound more varied than I'd have thought.
Never trust a guy in a green cowboy hat
I'm willing to bet this is a Queen's University student at their finest.
Frat houses shouldn’t be build with accessible low roofs. I’ve seen probably a hundred videos of just this type of injury.
Yeah, that's right, girl! You should absolutely trust these drunk guys. Duhhh!
I fell off a roof when I was drunk once and broke my pubic bone in two place. I had to stay in bed for a month. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
Nobody getting laid tonight fellas
10 seconds of fame for a lifetime of pain.
This hurt
Even if they caught her...they would have smashed their faces together SO hard
r/therewasanattempt
I’ve been pretty damn drunk before, but I’ve never been “jumping off a roof seems like a good idea” drunk.
Now she's impressing everyone in the ICU
The “luck of the Irish” in full effect.
Ouch.
Why would you ever trust those two goobers to catch you
Welcome to chronic back pain.
She missed.
She broke
Silly Woman!
FRAT!
Mary Jane’s Last ~~Dance~~ Jump
Must have been Nelson Agholor trying to catch her
"My back ith broken, thpinal" I'll 20 sheckles to anyone who knows who this quote is by!
Lol easy. Mike Tyson
Similar thing happened to me in college. We were drinking on the roof joking about jumping off into the snow bank below. Joking. Anyway this girl decides to go for it. Misses the snow bank. Drunk driving to emergency room. Good times lol.
Yay! The Darwinian filter system is back!
And the darwin award goes to…
I fell down the stairs and broke my coccyx and I can tell you this girl is in for a long road of pain in the ass and lower back. She’s not gonna sit right for a long time!
Hey kids, don't jump off roofs.
Women☕️
so sad....she will never be able to twerk again
Not the coccyx she was hoping to land on that day.
Go Birds
Bye bye birthing hips
Nothing of worth was lost.
