Okay that's A pretty joke

The 720 was more important than his life.

This is hilarious hehe

BAHHA

I think he said heaviest slam

Hé was like, that 720 was worth the fall.

Prison must’ve been rough for him…

Hahahahahh

Why

commentator: " oh no he's dead! " . Tony: " condolences to his family.... but did you see that 720? "

If Tony Hawk compliment you as a skateboarder then whats the point of keep on living anyways

His friends be like: f-- yeah!

And they nailed his coffine at the funeral house 💀

No kidding!! Should have been in a c-collar and backboard.

Yes good point.

So true! If there's even the slightest risk of back/neck injury after an accident you take absolutely no chances whatsoever.

Thats what I’m saying!!!!

This was 14 years ago I’m sure we have more knowledge and spine injuries and how to treat them now compare to then ..

Me neither. Skateboard is still airborne to this day.

Why is this getting traction again? Or is he in traction again?

Seriously? Jesus

@Phillip Ramos so incredibly wrong, no medical practitioner in their right state of mind would let someone "walk off" a fall like this, especially since anything could've happened with his vertebrae. I guess 2007 was different because this would not happen today

@Phillip Ramos dude where the heck did you pull that crap out from lmao

@Phillip Ramos "required by law let you walk it off" pissing myself 😭

These idiots are saying that getting an injury voids humans of their freewill, are the medical staff meant to push him back down when he gets up? He would have stayed down if he wanted more help. at no point does the practitioners decision override the freewill of the patient, get that through your head entitled dimwits.

That was likely total bullshit and just a reassurance to avoid panic

He had injuries inside and ruptured spleen

There wasn’t proper medical protocol in place at the time someone said.

@@Nickles4 that's just a lie it's not new knowledge that you don't move a person with possible spinal/neck injuries.

He most likely told the medical team he is fine. If he was really hurt I don't think they would have move him nor could he have just walked away.

@@mr.niceguy3178 are you kidding me. You don’t fall 50 feet and are just okay

@@mr.niceguy3178 fractured wrist, fractured vertebrae, bruised liver, bruised lung, ruptured spleen and concussion. He was probably fine tho.....

@ToiletJohn FN A vegetative state occurs when the cerebrum (the part of the brain that controls thought and behavior) no longer functions, but the hypothalamus and brain stem (the parts of the brain that control vital functions, such as sleep cycles, body temperature, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, and consciousness) continue to function. Thus, people open their eyes and appear awake but otherwise do not respond to stimulation in any meaningful way.

@@vcxa3859 that’s tough

@@notyou6573 yep was too

The way he landed did absorb some of the impact, he barely scraped the curve of the ramp which GREATLY reduced the inertia, but that was still a NASTY slam. He really shouldn’t have been walking.

He had minor bruises. That's it

If you can be bothered, what were his injuries?

Never mind i just saw it in another comment

It defiently could have been way worse if it was just a straight slam on flat ground. Hope hes fine though, long term I mean because this was 14 years ago lol

@Ambassador Of Kickyourassador If he had landed on the completely flat area he would most likely be falling into one of the last two categories the you described. You can see that the very slight curve that he landed on allowed him to slide for a fraction of a second, just enough to increase the time over which his body decelerated. That curve saved his life.

@@jorgeluisflores5980 what were his injuries from this?

I hate you for this one.

Sounds like AIRWALK has a new spokesman.

Hahahahahhahahhahha that was fucken hilarious

Lmaoo

Lmao

Yea I don't think too many people were upset about it. It wasint a very fitting comment for tv but I'm sure Jake can even look back and laugh at Tony's comment. After all it was a very good 720.

I actually thought it was really tactful and sweet. It’s obvious he’s hurt, but let’s not forget he got hurt having just pulled off something phenomenal & dangerous. Tony just wanted to make sure the death-defying stunt wasn’t in vain

To Hawk, a guy who lives, breathes and eats skateboard tricks (and who literally helped found the concept of skateboard tricks), injury is the cost of business rather than something to fear. You can't pull tricks like that if you're at all afraid of falling. You have to accept that you're going to get hurt if you're really pushing the limits of your trade. If he was the one one the board, Hawk would have been thrilled to trade a KO and maybe a few broken ribs for that trick. I don't think he would have traded a ruptured spleen and a broken back, though...

Who gives a shit

It was a nice save.

good eye! i mean he definitely hit hard but it could have been WAY worse

(unless you go flying off the edge) its kinda impossible not to land on the ramp...im baffled this guy even managed to land that far myself...

that is true. when he landed the ramp reduced some impact

Jeremy Early death

Not to mention wood is soft comparatively

@Dreymon Green aw ty ❤️

Thank you for letting me know that you said this in other comments, and that you're saying it again. Tell me about the slight "cushioning" effect. I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

This nerf

lol u copy his homework?

@@tedcrilly46 If you wipe out on wood it has some "give" to it, absorbing some of the force of the fall due to it bending (ever so slightly it may be, but it still helps) versus concrete which have zero-budge.. 0 cushioning effect.

cody fox same

Same I was like 9

This shit scared me too, as someone that took a 30ft fall and broke my heel +dislocated shoulder joint, I felt like this guy was just straight up dead. He fuckin walks it off, I guess some people are made ridiculously tough.

Dude me too! Legitimately thought he died.

@@_timetravels4528 I've just seen a video from London the other day where a guy gets punched by somebody while walking past them. Somehow, this caused him to break his ankle while falling. He broke his ankle while falling from standing, yet this guys falls from that height and breaks nothing.

Spoken like a true skater. Just walk it off

I doubt many people hit a 720 on a casual day at the skate park

@@deansuttle8438 hes talking about how he barely acknowledged the fall as if the 720 evened it out

tony never fell from that height

Always gotta stay positive for the homies trying the trick 👍💯

i'd say in all skateboarding history. noone has fallen from that height with that impact before or after this

@Pigsty or maybe they were getting him away from the crowd to further inspect him and diagnose him

@@Nyctotope damn almost like there is this thing called a stretcher 🤔

@@Nyctotope No medical team would do that.....you would stabilize the spine, encourage him to remain still and explain that any sudden shifts in movemetn could cause spinal cord damage due to possibility of vertabrae fracture, and lowlihood of concussion and confusion. You would take your time and with a full team arrange for him to be placed on a back board, you would THEN cart him away from the crowd and do full physical assessment and neurochecks of his arms hands eyes cranial nerves etc etc. THEN you would take him to ER where they would do xrays to confirm no fractures. THEN they would be extremely grateful there are no fractures, monitor his obvious concussion and make sure there is no internal bleeding (many concussions can sometimes be disguised slow brain bleeds that can kill you quickly a few days later) You would finally have a licensed doctor do one last slow check and help him out of the backboard and neck stabilization. This happens every day, all the time, I have physically done this 80+ times working at Rodeos, BMX biking competitions, motor bike competitions, and many, many car accidents as a paramedic and now a nurse. If you have any questions though, I would have no problem in answering them.

@@notatrollll and then put him in medical debt of 700k because Merica doesn't do Healthcare correctly

@@MarcusCollins69 Except 80% of americans have some form of insurance and most insurances have deductibles of 500-5000 bucks per year max, especially professional athletes attending big competitions. It definitely can be better, but no most citizens would not be in debt 90000 bucks, you are objectively wrong.

Was amazing with or without that legendary bail

Hey this guy is tough as nails for that but I’m sure he’d agree those brain/spinal injuries are a whole other level. So much of it just comes down to luck, brain trauma is so unpredictable and hard to understand compared to common injuries like a broken bone or torn ligament or something. Sorry to turn this into an essay lol, but rooting for you brother the fact that you’ve already made it through years of PT shows you absolutely have balls of steel too

Head trauma is no joke man. It's absolutely insane that he stood up after falling that far, but also didn't land directly on his head and had some of that impact spread over his body. Falling off a curb and hitting your head can kill you or paralyze you. You're no less of a man for enduring that shit!

Yea man absolutely I’m actually a paramedic. I wouldn’t have let him stand up. Hommie lost consciousness and slammed from pretty high up. My care for him would definitely not include standing up lol

@@dannyb5863 You're right, that's definitely a laugh out loud moment...

I saw this live with my mom. It was tense waiting for him to get up lemme tell ya. Absolute legend.

You were swearing at 13? 😅I was too

Same

yea

It looks like maybe he wasn't able to grab the board as he was going up and it just kept flying off in the direction it was going while he was kinda flung the other way because of the angle he was at

@@h.w.4482 true

@@h.w.4482 The board is such a tiny amount of mass compared to him and wouldn't provide enough momentum to send him that far. It looks a bit like he pushed off a bit early as there needs to be some force applied away from the ramp to make him go in that direction.

Its looks to me like he started celebrating a bit to soon.

Haven’t had it in around 7-8 years but I’d always be dreaming abt floating above buildings in a city and just falling without control. As soon as I was right next to the bottom I’d wake up with a fast heartbeat.

I've done that before while skiing. I was over confident and put too much speed into my jump. Then the kicker was steeper than I thought it was and all of a sudden I was 10m up and I knew that in a couple seconds I was going to feel a terrible impact and was trying to think how to reduce the pain. I landed on the flat compacted snow, and brought my knees to my chest to asorb the impact. I was pretty young and just had a bruising in my knees but fortunately nothing worse. Made me alot more wary of big jumps after that.

@James Hunt I don’t know about you, but it’s crazy the way you can feel the sensation of falling while dreaming. It feels as real as anything.

@@EpicVideos2 one time I was skiing on a very Icey trail. It has snowed a lot the previous night so there was a lot of fresh snow inches covering the ice. Well I was going very fast down the trail. And suddenly I’m on 10 meters of completely exposed ice. I literally had no control of where I was going and I had fallen just sliding down the trail going very fucking fast. I crash straight onto a patch of snow and come to a stop. After i got up I realized I wasn’t just sitting on the ground, I was dangling off the side off a 30 foot drop. Definitely would have broken something if I fell in there.

i've had this exact experience

I watched it live too and I was legit scared for his life. I thought I saw a man die on tv.

+Brandon Woolworth I was watching with my dad and when he fell he just changed the channel and was like, "lets watch something else"

+mdavid32 Same, i think i held my breath until i knew the dude was alive.

I seen it too he was hoping to land in the transition but got the flat instead

I was in hooters as this happened

Yee 😂

Cool story bro

Thats amazing.

actually it means that half of the people who die from falling fall from 48 ft+

He still had some of the ramp under him so he slid a bit and some of the momentum was transferred to motion, I think this is what saved his life

@@TexasRedOutlaw I agree he slid a little bit

@@TexasRedOutlaw yeah a flat fall onto the non-inclined part directly would have been the end of him, crazy shit

holy shit that’s good lmao

😆🤣

They wasted their chance to immobilize and haul him away before he woke up

Alright.

The "flailing" as you call it, was intentional my dude. He was doing the ole' Yoshi hoverjump technique to create some extra drag, pretty next level tbh.

He had no idea what he was doing. However instinctually he was bracing and positioning himself mid air. Kinesthetic awareness.

the really crazy part about this is that he landed that 720

Flailing is an evolved instinctual mechanism to cancel out your rotational momentum. By rotating your arms in a direction, your body gains angular momentum in the opposite direction, thus preventing your body from rotating. Same concept as a reaction wheel.

How is that scary? That’s good 🤣
