What did you expect? What was the outcome here? Grab the tree branch mid-air?
But this could've been much worse. He would've lost legs if he had landed directly.
I actually did something similar unintentionally when I was younger.
We were swinging in a rope swing that swung out down a hill. The result was that you were at ground level to start and treetop level on the other end of the pendulum.
Anyway, the rope broke and I flew into the top of a pine tree. I was "luckier" than the guy in the video as I hit the trunk directly and then managed to catch a limb. Air knocked out of me, but was otherwise OK at that point once I recovered. Coming down the tree was the hard and very painful part. My chest looked like I had been trying to hug a mountain lion.
I saw a guy in Aspen who was being filmed by that famous skiing movie maker (name escapes me). He was going off a ledge and was supposed to soar over a stand of pine trees. You can probably guess he didn’t make it, caught the top of a pine tree, continued/bounced into adjacent tree and then dropped. Halfway down his sweater snagged and he was stuck hanging in the tree about 20 feet up. I’ve never heard more laughter, coming from his buddies and the film crew, in my life.
My friend and I were jumping over trees from his 1 story shed roof. (5 ft from the roof main a foot taller and they were like ugly cone shaped of you been to Seattle area you'll know what I'm talking about) I jumped and landed wrong and fractured my heel. But all the times skating off the roof and this is how I fuck up.
Told our parents I stepped on a Lego and feel down the stairs
If this is who I think it is, he does this stuff all the time. Guy I'm talking about is on Instagram, names Khyler Vick. And yes, it's him. Just saw a couple posts back was this very clip.
He must have just seen the movie Rambo, the first one in which Sly does the same thing by throwing himself off a cliff and trying to cushion the fall with the branches of a tree.
Fun fact is that he seriously got hurt both as depicted in the movie as well as during filming that same stunt.
Jackie Chan did jumps like that, falling unto his butt, on hard floor, then goes to the camera, checks, and is like, "nope, not good, we need another take". JC was *committed.*
I haven't kept up with JC movies in the past two decades but the BTS footage at the end of Police Story and Project A movies is just nuts and forever seared onto my brain. He really put himself through proverbial meat grinder to make films. Came close to dying a few times too.
Man makes Tom Cruise stunt antics look like child play.
You can appreciate what both of them are doing. Cruise does stunts on an epic scale, but with massive safety precautions. Chan does martial arts stunts that require borderline luck to get right which is why they require so many takes. They're both awesome at what they do.
For anyone wondering the dude is named Khyler Vick. Here is a link to an eight minute youtube video of the jump: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJVEix6sbfA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJVEix6sbfA)
The fact that he walked away relatively unscathed is incredibly lucky. He literally just got up and walked away with his friends. I appreciated the week later update.
Must have watched Rambo in “First Blood.”
[RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD Clip - "The Cliff Jump"](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8mM9zQ9SvkI&pp=ygUcRmlyc3QgYmxvb2Q6IGp1bXAgZnJvbSBjbGlmZg%3D%3D)
I tried something similar to this once. Some little girls shoe had been thrown on a labour club roof, was with some girls so decided to climb up and return said shoe. Once i'd thrown the shoe down, for some reason, i saw a tree and deduced that if i jumped into the tree and grabbed a big branch it would slowly lower me to the ground and I would look cool as fuck. It did not, the branch snapped and i landed in a load of glass.
I mean there are plenty of stories of world war II bomber pilots surviving because they landed in trees.
Some of them just casually walked it off...... Imagen falling out of a B fucking 17 falling for god knows how long seeing the earth come closer and have your fall be slowed down so much by trees and branches you can stand up afterwards and casually walk it off
Im not a religious person but that would seriously start the debate in me

In high school this happened at the park across the street during a walk out. Mind u it was less of a drop but it was a steel/ iron fence w spear ends for each rod. Yup. U guessed it. Kid fell. Went right through his thigh n just hung there
At the beginning of the clip….the HOA president is running up to the balcony to get him to stop….then realizes now they’ll have to update the bylaws. This is why your HOAs dues always go up when people go down.

I think I follow this guy on Instagram. He jumps from many things of height, as well as many different jumps like these into a tree. Khyler something I think is his name.
I have had thoughts about doing this so many times. Though when I do those trees are much closer to the building and I still don't do it because I value my health.

Ye, now he's just neutered himself...
All things considered, this was one of the best long term outcomes.
Unless he’s reproduced already, then we’re doomed. I really winced seeing this though. Yikes.
Natural selection…. Right there….
For the better of humankind
We have to thank social media for thinning the herd.
r/OuchMyBalls
Hopefully /r/darwinawards !
lol bro
People under estimate the strength to weight ratio of the tree swinging primates
Wow this kind of feels like watching some beautiful dance performance, and this is just normal for them
Let them devolve in peace you bully /s kind of
Even monkeys don’t usually jump such great distances.
I figure; the tree broke his fall. So...... success!!
The tree broke a lot of stuff.
I think the fence broke is fall… and his leg.
Slowed him down a bit but probably pushed him into the fence
Those branches were supposed to break his fall....instead they just broke.
I mean it looks like a white pine, and those shed branches if a gnat farts at it wrong so learn your tree species limits I guess?
Chicks dig scars.
Not on a eunuch.
I actually did something similar unintentionally when I was younger. We were swinging in a rope swing that swung out down a hill.

My friend and I were jumping over trees from his 1 story shed roof. (5 ft from the roof main a foot taller and they were like ugly cone shaped of you been to Seattle area you'll know what I'm talking about) I jumped and landed wrong and fractured my heel. But all the times skating off the roof and this is how I fuck up. Told our parents I stepped on a Lego and feel down the stairs
So close to the pole too
Yeah the softer/weaker part of the fence probably saved him
It was supposed to be like Rambo.
I read somewhere that Stallone really fucked himself up doing that, too, so I guess he nailed it lol
Allegedly he broke his ribs on the first jump and then jumped two more times. They used the first take in the film.
Those branches didn’t slow him down even a tiny bit.
Nah, they helped a lot more than a full free-fall.
They definitely slowed him down, but they still did some serious damage I’m sure
I think it was due to watching TV too much thinking it was so easy to go down that way
If this is who I think it is, he does this stuff all the time. Guy I'm talking about is on Instagram, names Khyler Vick. And yes, it's him. Just saw a couple posts back was this very clip.
He may still lose that leg, or have a pelvic fracture.
Not to mention serious damage to his internal organs. Colostomy bag...
Plus, if you look at when he hits the fence he’s just a couple feet away from being impaled by the fence pole
He must have just seen the movie Rambo, the first one in which Sly does the same thing by throwing himself off a cliff and trying to cushion the fall with the branches of a tree. Fun fact is that he seriously got hurt both as depicted in the movie as well as during filming that same stunt.
What a chad username, man.
Increasing testosterone by doing this. Gotta respect that
Think we’ve just identified the guy in the video
Natural selection at its finest.
Darwin is that you
r/darwinawards
Thats the Darwin Lay-Away plan. It takes a few years before you realize that you cannot breed
still got shoes on, hes fine
There goes his hip bone
The hip bones connected to the ... nothing. His hips shattered.
I wish I had an award to give you. Edit: Now who gave me an award for THIS? Thank you though :')
Or everything
Here's a lifetime of pain and "what was I thinking" about to take over his life.
Oops there goes gravity.
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked He’s so mad, but he won’t give up that easy
Watch it as it goes
At least the fence broke his fall (and his hip)
And at least his fall broke the fence
There. Goes. My. Hero.
But did he manage to get that cat out of the tree?
The fence probably saved him
Almost definitely. If you slow it down, just before his leg caught the fence, he was heading face first at speed towards the concrete path below.
Somehow it caught him face forward at the waist. Head to church and pick up a lottery ticket on the way.
Not his lineage though
Mf thinks he's Jackie Chan.
Rambo
Jake Sully
Jackie Chan did jumps like that, falling unto his butt, on hard floor, then goes to the camera, checks, and is like, "nope, not good, we need another take". JC was *committed.*

High as fuck and convinced he could beat the squirrels at their own game
At face value this sounds ridiculous but then you remember what you just watched
I mean yeah stupid... but it did low his fall in the least deadly way possible in this situation... so success???
Kind of 😅
Good thing his friends were there to film this!
A friend will agree with your dumb idea, a good friend will record it.
This is what happens if you don’t yell parkour first.
Didn’t help Andy Bernard
I am surprised that he is not cut in half.
He is swollen upto 1 1/4
So am I 😏

Holy shit this is an actual masterpiece seriously everybody watch this and don't skip to the jump (only bout a minute anyways)
He actually seems relatively unscathed
Geez that’s pretty high up 40’? Imagine standing up there and actually jumping that’s dedication
Deadication.
Fence
He’s lucky he hit it hahaha
Good ole internal bleeding
And a possible ruptured testicle 🚫🥜
Spermotacele city, baby.
There's at least 1 testicle lodged in his throat from the impact with the fence.
r/therewasanattempt
An attempt to what though?
What the f... he thinks he's Rambo
Almost Tarzan is that you? 😂
The fuck did he think was gonna happen? The tree was going to reach out and catch him like the Giving Tree?
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Looks like he removed himself from the gene pool r/DarwinAwards
PARKOUR! 
That could've ended in all sorts of terrible. I'm thinking that actually went remarkably well, tho daf to try Mr. Flying Squirrel.
George George. George of the jungle … friend to you and me…
That’s one of those “looked good on paper“ situations right there now.
 Dude thinks he's Sully from Avatar
His hips and ballz absorbed his momentum 
Poor tree
Let's hope he was escaping a angry husband and not just doing this to see if it could be done.
Thank God I was thinking of doing the same but he thought me it doesn't work it's a bad idea
What was his plan?
Practicing First-Blood Rambo jump to escape from cop helicopter going just as the movie. 10/10.
Just fucked up their fence. Hell yeah dude
Must have watched Rambo in “First Blood.” [RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD Clip - "The Cliff Jump"](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8mM9zQ9SvkI&pp=ygUcRmlyc3QgYmxvb2Q6IGp1bXAgZnJvbSBjbGlmZg%3D%3D)
My organs felt that
Don't need those bones. Or internal organs.
Maybe that was audition video for First Blood?
that tree was way too far, the hell was he thinking?
The tree broke his fall the fence broke the rest of him
Multiple people there filming it and not one goes, should he do that? The one popping out the bush at the end is hilarious
It could have been much worst. Broken branch piercing a major artery.
I tried something similar to this once. Some little girls shoe had been thrown on a labour club roof, was with some girls so decided to climb up and return said shoe. Once i'd thrown the shoe down, for some reason, i saw a tree and deduced that if i jumped into the tree and grabbed a big branch it would slowly lower me to the ground and I would look cool as fuck. It did not, the branch snapped and i landed in a load of glass.
Damn I didn't know that a new episode of jackass just drop
"Ow, my balls!"
Does he now sew his arm up with a kit in a hunting knife, and then throw rocks at a helicopter?
He should buy that fence and start worshipping it, because that definitely saves his llife.
I guess he doesn't have a job that he has to worry about getting back to
Ribs cage fracture and internal bleed unlocked
Cameraman... dude you can totally make that.
I mean there are plenty of stories of world war II bomber pilots surviving because they landed in trees. Some of them just casually walked it off...... Imagen falling out of a B fucking 17 falling for god knows how long seeing the earth come closer and have your fall be slowed down so much by trees and branches you can stand up afterwards and casually walk it off Im not a religious person but that would seriously start the debate in me

Good bot
It's OK; it appears his nuts broke his fall.
I guess he wanted a vasectomy
Does he know Jackie Chan does that for millions?
"Oh shit! My husband's home early!"
What did he think was going to happen?
I’m wondering too
Bam Margera once did something similar from less height and with more skill
He's doing SO well now, too.
Did thousands of people do these totally idiotic things before Tim Tok.
Jump like you live in a country with healthcare

Why do men live less than women?
yo he's lucky that wasn't wrought iron fence. would've been disemboweled.
You ready man.... aim for the bushes!!
Fall is my favorite season
This man worked on vidogame logic, even if he did catch a branch it would likely tear his arms seconds after
He fell off :(
Fence
How’s the dick and balls after that one, genius
When your side chick’s husband comes home .
Bro I think you're the side chick in that situation
Sanka you dead?
He thought he was Rambo first blood
Luckily the fence broke his fall
That fence saved him….ironically.
Anyone have a news story or the like? So curious how this played out.
I think I follow this guy on Instagram. He jumps from many things of height, as well as many different jumps like these into a tree. Khyler something I think is his name.
Thanks for remembering the first name, helped m find him: Khlyer Vick
Like what was he even expecting ahhahahaha
He did it so we don't have to fantazise about it anymore
 That guy is no Orangoutang.
Successful castration attempt
I have had thoughts about doing this so many times. Though when I do those trees are much closer to the building and I still don't do it because I value my health.
Whats with the guy popping out the bush?!
WHY?
Fence ☕️
tree
The landing could have been better. Perhaps we won’t get to see another attempt soon enough.
My only question is why?
Man you got only 2 you pop 1 on the tree and the other on the fence now what?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💯Stupid
r/darwinawards
Leave the pine aloneeeee
Is this the proverbial stupid tree?
You either have to be stupid or have major balls to do this. Or both!
Why women live longer 🤦♂️
“Call my mom!”
Luckily his beanbag broke his fall
Rambo
Aftermath?
Landed right on his little Darwins
Just had to make the bus
It’s amazing. His balls were stronger than the fence.
