Parkour is a sport like any other. Just kidding — it’s actually a roundabout way to turn your body to mush and your brain into Swiss cheese. Hey, that’s also football, so maybe it is a true sport after all!

But whereas most sports will try to have its players, I don’t know, score points, parkour instead opts for the mere achievement of having done something insane. Congrats, kid, you jumped off a building without dying. Wish we could say the same for your friend!


Naturally, given that this sport is absolutely reckless and stupid, there are a whole host of things that can go wrong when you do it. If you need proof, just watch this:



In the video above, a man jumps off the roof of a building with the goal of… doing… something. I don’t know; to me, it looks like he’s just bailed off his board in Skate 2, if anyone remembers that game.



Regardless, things go about as well as you’d expect. The dude slams his head into the ground, leading to an audible “What are you doing?” from a nearby observer. Trust me — he doesn’t know what he’s doing either.


By the end of the video, the man says he’s okay, though I’d imagine he lost quite a few brain cells in the process of doing this. Let that be a lesson: If someone asks you to jump off a building, do not do it.
