Stupid should hurt.

He really didn't think it through. Let's presume he had better odds... why would he make the attempt with the curb in front of him? Seems to me the better choice was the other direction. It's not like he went high... Of course landing flat has it own set of problems - back flopping on concrete is dangerous all by itself.

My guess is he has 2 brain cells left and one of them is one borrowed time. 🤦‍♂️ :clock:

He's probably going to sue the business for allowing him to do that.
"By God! They should have but up warnings and barriers to keep me from doing stupid shit!
How was I supposed to know!", is what he'll say in court.

Remember Plastic Bags! Now they all read...

Don't put it over your head - Risk of suffocation! :facepalm:
If you have to be told that, you deserve what you get!

Does anyone really need to be told this:question:

You know someone somewhere couldn't figure this out so they had to put this warning on there. 🤦‍♂️

Here's what Brave AI says about this:
The phrase is generally considered a tongue-in-cheek joke or viral marketing tactic rather than a serious legal warning.
While some speculate it originated from liability concerns or lawsuits (similar to the famous McDonald's coffee case), the consensus is that it is a humorous acknowledgment of the absurdity of stating the obvious, designed to generate social media engagement.

I am 100% sure that there are people out there who think that the box is part of the eating experience......kinda like "you have to eat the box to get to the pizza" !!!
Do not underestmate the stupidity of some people out there.
These are the same people who DO put the bag over their head to try and figure out what the warning was about.......
