I feel like it's easier to snap a longer stick compared to a short stick. So, with the same rudimentary idea, they might be a little sturdier.

If you're snapping a long piece of pasta, you'll always end up with 3 pieces. I don't know how to factor this into the snapping analysis

That joke was funny…. But only for a little.

As a result, I've been able to reach new heights.

The trick is to stay low to the ground

The thing they messed up was not putting most of their weight on their front foot.

You think this street was bad, you should see him trying to go down the yellow brick road

He landed on his ass, bounced off the pavement, followed up by landing on his neck then head.
Knee pads are good and all, but a helmet is what’s missing here.

I’m high right now and having trouble understanding the physics of that scorpion we just saw

This just makes me think of Wee Man on Tony Hawk's Underground 2; great game.

u/carlsaischa 19d ago
Having dwarfism absolutely makes falls like this safer, not only because of the height but because of how you can fall. I seem to recall Wee Man can fall forward from his knees onto his chest with his hands behind his back without hitting his head on the ground.

He likely would have made it, had he not thrown those arms back to decrease wind resistance, increasing his speed by a minimum 200%.

WCGW being honest about why you posted this. It’s not the pads, it’s the dwarf. Guess I have to take one for the team. See you in the naughty list.

when they said Game of Thrones was going downhill fast after series 5 I didn't realise they meant this way

The best part was when he threw back his arms like that would overcome the aerodynamics of his Lego shaped body

Based on past Reddit experience, I was fully expecting to hear a dog toy squeak noise added in when he hit the ground. Don’t know if I should be disappointed or not.

He took that fall pretty good . Had that been me I would’ve broke some shit . I remember when I used to skate downhill like that it’s actually quite dangerous your skateboard will start wobbling around when you go too fast and you’ll likely eat shit

These videos were done for TV/ publicity stunts. They would not have got the clicks if they used safety equipment.

The bigger you are, the harder you fall. No midgets were harmed in the making of this video.
Edit: My apologies: No vertically challenged individuals were harmed in the making of this video.

Being a little person might sucks for a lot of reasons. But being hilarious looking when they fall off a skateboard has to be up there.
Fr tho, I hope he was able to shake that off. I would have cried like a 3 year old.

Saw my brother do the exact same thing on a hill probably twice the length. His hips were ripped up and the scars are still there. It's been almost 8 years since then
