- Wootstapler, on 08/06/2008, -0/+56I didn't hear any crying.
- jorichter, on 08/06/2008, -1/+47Somewhere the inventor of the Trampoline smiles and strokes a cat.
- twertyto, on 08/06/2008, -0/+39Buried for kid not dying.
- seinman, on 08/06/2008, -0/+30Break has software that takes your crappy video and fixes it. How it works is really quite brilliant, actually. First, it finds the exact point where someone in the video is injured. It then cuts out all the video after that. The camera operator and editor could have made an amazing documentary about the aftermath of the injury, but who wants to see any of that? After that part is erased, it then finds a point about 20 seconds before any of the action starts, and creates a slow motion clip. They figure, with all the time saved after erasing the interesting end of the story, they can now fill it with a slow motion recap that takes way too long to get to the point. If the video is still too quick, they then repeat the replay AGAIN, this time slowing it down even more! Then, as if your video wasn't awesome enough at this point, techno or metal music is added, especially songs that don't fit in with the footage at all. Really, it's a huge help, since Break does all the work, the editor doesn't have to worry about making good videos anymore!
- AmyVernon, on 08/06/2008, -0/+27no, kids just jumped off garage roofs with a superman cape on, with no trampoline underneath, back in the 1950s.
- glennkachmar, on 08/06/2008, -1/+22This is a self-correcting lesson. Darwin was on to something.
- brendanryder, on 08/06/2008, -3/+15Dugg for epic poetic title.
- erichw1504, on 08/06/2008, -0/+9break's video titles are usually misleading:
"Man gets shot 50 times with paintball gun and laughs histerically"
When in actuality he gets shot twice and screams like a little girl.
(dramatization) - Jarasmen, on 08/06/2008, -0/+8I already did.
- pprovo1, on 08/06/2008, -0/+7I'm not satisfied untill I see some ***** tears.
- EclipseGSX, on 08/06/2008, -0/+7Thus bringing the score to...
Trampolines: 167,398,544
People: 0 - burnin8r28, on 08/06/2008, -1/+7warning: costume will not give you super powers
- inactive, on 08/06/2008, -1/+7Meh, it's too difficult to beat off on a trampoline anyway.
- Enchorito, on 08/06/2008, -1/+7Future Darwin Award candidates right there. Their last words will probably be, "Watch this!"
- pepemt, on 08/06/2008, -1/+7do people actually add the slow-mo themselves to everything they submit to break or is this some dumbass thing break does themselves?
- mgxplyr, on 08/06/2008, -6/+12I bet if this was the 1950's, jumping off a roof onto a trampoline would have never crossed a kids mind.
What is happening to the human race!!!
..or maybe they just didn't have trampolines. - matthewf01, on 08/06/2008, -0/+6Well, the important thing is you tried.
- 47f0, on 08/06/2008, -0/+5Ahh, the good old trampoline days. I remember trying to bounce higher than my neighbors fence to get a peek at his sunbathing wife. I sort of gave up the trampoline when I tucked my legs up from a spectacular height to do a "seat-drop" - and realized that something had gone wrong as I saw the edge of the trampoline flash by me. Today, I am six inches shorter as a result - but at least I can scratch my knees without having to bend.
- KovoSoccer, on 08/06/2008, -2/+7I caught my kids doing the same thing
- MrChunks, on 08/06/2008, -0/+5Hold on. Didn't he say he caught them doing that? He didn't say "I caught them doing that and then did nothing." Where did you get "teaching your kids about consequences to their actions" from? Weirdo.
- Decipi, on 08/06/2008, -1/+5How could you ***** that up?
- alcavit, on 08/06/2008, -0/+4i dont know
- teriyakisause, on 08/06/2008, -2/+6Double Bounce of Death.
- zadadka, on 08/06/2008, -0/+4A dumb kid or a trampoline?
- branndon, on 08/06/2008, -0/+4Looked like fun. At least they are outside trying to break bones instead of inside getting fat behind a video game or computer.
- BXRWXR, on 08/06/2008, -0/+4I blame YouTube, the internets, bad parenting and No Child Left Behind.
- Wolfie351, on 08/06/2008, -0/+4Always thankful for the absence of video cameras when I did stupid things as a kid
- scornful, on 08/06/2008, -2/+6It's simple physics.
Boy 1 lands on the trampoline first, the elasticity of the trampoline begins to push back on Boy 1-- slowing his decent. Boy 2 lands before the trampoline completes pushing back on Boy 1. Boy 1's impact is dampened and he remains unharmed. But... the trampoline pushes on Boy 2 with equal force of Boy 2's impact, plus the remaining potential energy from Boy 1's impact, which sends Boy 2 flying. - Kenzan, on 08/06/2008, -1/+4Physics are a biotch.
- griz, on 08/06/2008, -0/+3Lucky he landed in the bush on his back and not on his head on the ground.
- smacksaw, on 08/06/2008, -0/+3For all of the wondrous things we hear about the Finnish educational system, I see that Physics is still not their strong point.
- Residents, on 08/06/2008, -0/+3Anyone who has ever jumped on a trampoline with another person could already tell what was going to happen. You land just after the other person and you take all their bounce on top of what you already had in the first place.
- smacksaw, on 08/06/2008, -0/+3You're the one bringing "dicks" and "*****" in the equation.
Never occurs to me to bring that up since I have no interest in either.
Check your closet. You might be in there. - kimcastic, on 08/06/2008, -1/+4I think you mean stupidity.
- HyperDav, on 08/06/2008, -0/+3More simply, if you hit the trampoline right before someone else, it transfers all the energy to them.
Or as I like to call it, a "double bounce" or giving someone "the hops" ... This brings me back! - ihate2regist, on 08/06/2008, -1/+4finish
- Jedakiah, on 08/06/2008, -1/+3I did stuff like this all the time. But never with a friend.
How could a child own a trampoline and not understand the concept of "spiking"? - kjmorley, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2also an umbrella, flapping garbage can lids or once with springs on my feet - could be why I walk with a limp now :o)
I totally get these guys. - Retrospekt, on 08/06/2008, -1/+3What the hell kind of language was that kid speaking?
- pingster, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2Can anyone translate what they're saying?
- McMagic, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2two internets to you, sir.
- khsheehan, on 08/06/2008, -2/+4AmericaNumberOne says:
did he:
life?
Oh....God... - sonicularulus, on 08/06/2008, -1/+3
Boy one: "oy oy oyyyyy"
Boy two: "hold on! i'll catch you!" - Cydril, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2Oh please you guys, anyone who ever had a trampoline as a kid did something like this. I broke my arm doing that *****; It's just stuff kids do, stop making such a big deal.
- robdiggity, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2No guts no glory buddy.
- burnin8r28, on 08/06/2008, -1/+3darn teenagers.
- smacksaw, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2So what you're saying is that the end justifies the means?
- c010rb1indusa, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2Trampolines rule
- sdcarter, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2This is what passes for lame ***** videos now? It's like nobody's even trying anymore.
- swordphish, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2I pulled the same stupid stunt when I was a kid and I broke my tailbone. That kid got lucky.
