He should have stuck to weight lifting

Ouch... He wasn't even close

Why would I want to see a video of that?
I might be twisted but I am fictionally twisted.
If its a special effect in a movie its okay but I have no interest in seeing anyone hurt in reality.
Its just too sad.

He chose his stunt...poorley.

Guess he was too heavy.
