    You’re not looking at the video. Dude trips on the bar with his foot as he cuts the corner. Because he’s turning, he nicks the upper corner with his hip, gets dragged forward, muscles stretch, he loses control, goes down tensing and slams with everything because that’s what you do when you fall, you tense the muscles to cushion the damage.

    It’s standard physics and biology. You take a fall and see if you welcome it. And don’t try to convince me otherwise, just saw a lady yesterday at the recovery who tripped on the corner of the stairs and she fell on her hand like this dumbass slams his, because that’s our basic instinct. Only this guy had someone else attached to it, to their misfortune.

      “Don’t try to convince me otherwise,” truly an open-minded approach to viewing evidence.

      I’ve never once tripped and spasm’d into the floor, but I guess you’re just built different.

        That’s a lie. I just gave you an example of how it’s possible and you dismissed it. You can’t convince me because I saw the example of my side of the story. And I can’t convince you because you have yet to experience it.

        Well, I hope you live in ignorance of that kind of fall. It hurts.

          How compassionate.

          I’m sorry that you whip your head back and piledrive yourself into the floor a few seconds after your hip bumps into things. That sounds debilitating.

            You talk as if there is only one universal way of tripping on something. And yes it is. You wouldn’t know that though.

      No, you clearly aren’t looking at the video. His foot is nowhere near the bar when he pivots to slam her.
