Today I was jumping off my friend’s raised F-250 truck and someone said to jump off the top of the cab. That is like 10 feet. I said no, but then everyone started chanting, I never pass when there is chanting so i did it. He pulled up onto some grass and i jumped. Right when i landed i felt a pop in my back and I couldn’t move. Now i can barely move, it hurts typing this. So beware or your friends chanting you to do something stupid.
Sounds like a good commercial.
In all seriousness, have you had any medical help yet? If you can barely move, you might need a little physical therapy, at the very least.
Was this on a unicycle?

Oooh ouch.
Yeah go see a chiropracter. Hope your okay.
I have a pretty bad back, I think I hurt it with some unicycling related crash (although I can’t think of one particular one) and big drops sometimes make my back pop. . . . .
Did you make the drop though?
Wow, I hope you’re feeling better soon. Please tell me you got photos and videos.
It reminded me of the drop Alex Toms did a few months ago.

yeah it was on a unicycle. I kind of landed it. I landed but then fell over sideways because i couldn’t move. I can barly get up…ugh
OH!
I thought you meant you just jumped off the truck with your legs…I was a lil confused there…
I went to the hospital and I guess i compressed a disk and slighlty dislocated a bone. At least i got a lot of Vicodon
the only thing I CAN reply after this post: MMmmmmm Vicodinnnn… (I had to)
to jack a truck up to 10 feet at the top of the cab would be quite the site. i’d wager no more than 8 feet. seriously though, that’s crazy. you probably shouldn’t listen to your friends again. also, get some medical help.
If you’re friends told you to jump off a cliff…no, wait never mind.
only if they were chanting.
Well duh, jumping off a cliff would kill you.
Jumping off a truck would only hurt you…
Superman broke his neck falling off a horse, which is lower than the cab of a lifted truck. You don’t need serious altitude to incur serious injury.
I broke my arm by tripping one time
I haven’t broken anything…
…sorry to hear that at first it sounded like you were slightly paralized
I broke my big toe this weekend…
Working overtime this week.
Hope you get better soon though.
My dad made the bone in his forearm actually stick out of the skin after breaking the bone right in the middle. He was about 8 years old and he had fallen off of a 2-3 foot tall plastic slide. Now convert that to 10 feet and do the same fall. Yea. Ow.
quote from comedy central, comedian’s name eludes me for some reason:
“…but i found, that half a Vicodin and a Bahama Mama makes for a BITCHIN’ day… laughter, applause”
