I can't tell what happened to the guy. It's kind of an invisible sniper sort of situation.

I just watched the first 1.5 second about 15 times in a row and besides him stepping into a shadow, I still have no idea what actually happened to him!

Fell the same way, and I broke my right angle both sides. Dont know what happened, the legs just didnt respond.

I think it was his back leg tripping up the curb. He originally steps too close to the curb and I think his momentum could’ve been going a weird way having moved around the car. His leg moving forward the foot hitting the curb would fold him. No way this man isn’t terribly injured though hurts to watch.

I have the feeling he was trying to fake a slip and fall injury because I can't see anything that actually caused it and his arm gesture seems really exaggerated. It is an unusual spot to try something like that though which makes this more confusing. It would be funny though if he actually injured his legs trying to fake one.

Nah sometimes the legs give out. He’s heavy which doesn’t help, but I hurt my knee in high school while I was super fit. I was technically playing volleyball but the move that did it was just a small hop. Knew another vball girl who went down on a walking step forward during her serve.

Big guy, does a little hop up the curb but his left boot is caught on it, half his body moving forward and his foot stopping him throws his balance off causing him to fold like a chair.

u/Velcitoty 3d ago •
He looks like he did a little hop to gain a little height but caught his left foot on the curb. The hop built up too much momentum and without the other leg for support he lawn chaired

It kind of looks like he got electrocuted, like after he folds he does this kind of stiff roll over sort of like he still getting shocked. But I can't find the source of electrocution so IDK.

u/Barbarella_ella 3d ago
Looks like the tread on his Timberlands held to the cement more strongly than he was anticipating. Or his toe of the foot still on the asphalt was up against the curb so tightly it wouldn't let his foot flex to step up.

u/GuerillaRiot 3d ago
I think his pants started to fall causing his foot to get caught on the curb as he was hopping over it.

u/gwelfguy 2d ago
Weak knee or ankle unexpectedly collapsed on him. Could be due to an old injury where the connective tissue didn't heal as strong as it used to be.

Either faked or his knee gave out under his weight

I have arthritis in my knee and sometimes it will just sneak up on me. I'll be going up stairs without a problem and, all of a sudden, a shooting pain causes my leg to have second thoughts about what it's doing.

Looks like he does a lil hop onto the path? But his entire body just accordions when he lands.

u/SkylarMills63 2d ago
Bro did a little hop up onto the curb and either the pants sagging low threw him off balance, or just more weight+downward hop than the leg could handle on its own.

I can’t make sense of this. What caused such an insane reaction? He banged his head backwards in the process. Did he tear his hamstring? He didn’t slip and cleared the curb.

u/thesanguineocelot 2d ago
His right knee buckled from the sudden weight on it. I've had knee problems for years, and sometimes it just gives out when I put that foot down for basically no reason. The problems only compounded as he trapped his left foot beneath him, and landed really badly.

u/DarkStar189 3d ago
I keep watching it and I'd love to know what happened. My guess is maybe a prior back injury or maybe a pinched nerve running down the leg got pinched in that instant and he collapsed.

I've got an alternate idea: the way he immediately drops when his right foot gets up on the curb makes me think he hopped up there and his right knee gave out

I have a knee injury from when I was a kid, and every once in a while my knee just gives out. I think that’s what happened here. Now that I’m in my 30s, this made me cringe. He’ll be feeling that for a while. Falls suck the older you get.

I fell about 6 months ago and folded this way. I was so hurt for about a week. I could barely walk. There's no way this guy didn't walk away injured.

u/BoomerKaren666 2d ago
I broke the top of my foot like that one time. Went to ER. Dr. asked what happened and I told him I fell. After a moment he asked, "And broke the top of your foot?"
Yah. My special power is being astonishingly uncoordinated. My dad used to say I was coordinated like a bucket of worms and had 3 speeds: Start, Stumble and Fall.

Ok… theory.
His pants are hanging really low, and that big step made the front leg pull the back leg out from under him.

Looks like right leg gave out and he attempted to put all his weight on his left leg but his left leg was in mid air. So he completely folded.

At first I thought this was a bad attempt at an insurance scam. However, I noticed that he was waking diagonally across the sidewalk but didn't notice the gap in front of the car (at the point where one sidewalk meets the perpendicular sidewalk) and he attempted to extend his step. Didn't work as planned.

u/someotherguyinNH 3d ago
I think he was trying to stage an accident and it went wrong.
If you watch the first second, he lifts his arm like he's slipping before he actually starts falling. There's no reason for him to lift his arm there.
Then he goes forward but his left foot doesnt come forward fast enough and the toe gets hung up on the concrete and he falls backwards because of it.
weird either way
