    Lol that dude in the back hammer fisting his butt and back. 🤣

    I mean this is a terrible thing and all, but, since it sounds like everyone is generally ok, there are many parts of this that are hilarious. And I know people got hurt here, and I think that’s bad, but I think it’s possible to see the humorous absurd while also recognizing and condemning the violent and sad.

    That dude was straight planking in midair for one. I mean he went full send on that leap!
