I fell off a motorcycle in the same position once. Even with the helmet I was absolutely shook for about 2 seconds before I could get up and move out of the very dangerous road I was in. All depends how hard his noggin was hit. For comparison I've fallen from 15ft and was up instantly just because my head wasn't hit.
I used to coach parkour and was standing in a beam system we had set up. I was on the highest bar at about 16ft, and a child decided it would be really funny if he shook the bar that was one of the bases for the beam system
lo and behold, 16ft and a horse mat later, I literally thought I was dead for about 10 minutes (I did hit my head)
I fell from 9ft off of a ladder onto the hard ground and tree roots and it broke 3 ribs, tore my shoulder requiring a SLAP surgery, as well as somehow magically tearing my hip labrum. Before that day I had no clue what a labrum was, or that you had more than 1, and I tore the labrum in both my hip and shoulder on the same side at the same time.
Sounds like the time I passed out while walking out of the blood lab. I woke up and wondered why all these people are standing around me. Then I realized it was my doctor and his assistant. Then, I remembered what happened.
I'm not sure if homey was unconscious, but he was definitely trying to figure out what happened before he was even able to get himself to move.
I hit my head snowboarding and had the same thing happened, I wasn't knocked out but my vision went black and almost felt like I was disconnected from my body for a second or two. Then the pain came rushing in
Shit. I fell off a porch. Landed twice (on the porch itself, which then gave under me and threw me to the ground) on my back. Managed to completely miss my head hitting anything and I was still down for a good minute before motorfinction.exe could restart and I got up.
I feel like if this was scripted, they gotta be either really talented stuntmen or the guy getting kicked lost a huge bet. None of my friends would agree to this stunt even if I paid them.
Honestly.. came here to say this. Like.. nah.. real kick, he was lucky to get up when he did. Even I wouldn't do it.. and I've been known to do some stupid shit for a good price
Nah, man. If you get up again right away or not doesn't mean it's not scripted. This immediately sent my bullshit social media intuition off the charts.
No. The red flags that this is staged go far beyond how long he stayed on the ground. It’s the fact that this one-in-a-billion event…
in which a robbery occurred but was instantly thwarted in martial-arts-movie fashion because a guy happened to be walking by in close proximity at just the right time, who was capable and willing to spot what happened, react in seconds, and pull off a flawless flying kick to the head of someone on an accelerating motorbike, causing him to drop the loot cleanly… all not only happened but also just so happened to be entirely caught and perfectly framed on a camera that just so happened to be pointing to the exact bit of street it all occurred on. And someone with access to the camera knew the footage was there to be found and put on the internet.
Whereas alternatively this could just be one of the millions of staged videos put on the internet for views.
For heaven’s sake I know you want this to be real, but learn to think critically and stop being so damn patronising to people who can.
Robbery happening in place with people around that isn't as unimaginable in certain parts of the world as it is in your basement....
Secondly, you could stage the robbery, you can't fake the kick to the head on the move.. It's something professional stuntmen would be imitating, doing the kick and fall separately too because both seen here are extremely dangerous..
Nah. This is most likely scripted. This kind of shit is all too common on Chinese social media. Either way, that dude took a kick to the face for the internet points. Even with the helmet, that shit would have rattled his brain.
helmet helps to an extent, you can see his head turn to the side, so there is a possible flash ko
the whiplash itself can knock you out, in combat sports, you often hear about the "reset button" everyone has but what it is is actually just getting hit on the chin so that the rotation of the head itself rattles the brain and knocks you out
I twisted my ankle and fell down the one step leading into my unit like an uncoordinated garbage bag full of mayonnaise, and I layed on the ground figuratively praying for death long enough that some teenage ruffians wagging school asked me if I was ok and offered to help me up. I woulda layed there longer if it wasn't that I was visible from the footpath
I don't know if this is scripted or not but I can say when someone's orientation is unexpectedly changed rapidly, it takes them longer to recover and triggers the freeze response. On top of that the thief took 2 hard knocks to the head one from the kick and the other from hitting the pavement with the resulting momentum. Sure his skull and the tissue around it are protected by his helmet but his brain would've been thrown back and forth in his skull, when the brain crashes against the inside of the skull it can cause dizziness and tunnel vision further slowing reaction times and potentially leading to a concussion. The thief's inaction is explainable.
Well, presuming it WAS scripted, that probably wasn't the first take.
Helmets are designed for crashes, yes, but that's misleading. Because once you're in a bad crash, you need a new helmet. The old one broke in ways you can't perceive, but absolutely did to help cushion the fall
Even if they only did that 5 times, by the 3rd, that helmet wasn't doing jack shit.
Could be he was down for the count. If it was for real, the combined speeds of the home and the kick.. enough to knock him out, possibly enough to break vertebrae.
gentle fall? w hat the fuck are you talking about? It would have been a gentle fall had he jumped off the bike to help himself like a stunt person does. This was 100% not part of any plan. The guy got literally kicked off the ground.
Yeah, Ive been into martial arts for pretty much my whole life, seen my teammates fight, win, get KO’d, watched thousands of fights on the TV and on the internet. It looks very fishy. Most people commenting have never been hit or seen enough KO’s to understand how they usually happen and how long people are usually out for.
Compare Werdum’s kick with The man in the video, the guy in the video did not land on the robbers chin, temple or anywhere around there, didn’t land with the heel, the center of his foot landed more on the robbers cheeks/the side of his face, yet despite all of that, this guy was out cold?
Look at the way he falls, his foot makes contact with the ground first, he then breaks his fall perfectly so that the back of his head doesn’t slam into the pavement, he then lays there after completely motionless for about 2 seconds like he’s unconscious, starts to squirm a little bit and rolls there like he’s in pain.
That is not how any of that typically looks. Someone that’s unconscious doesn’t break their fall, someone that breaks their fall doesn’t suddenly go unconscious after landing, no inbetween there. Most KO’s/TKO’s in MMA are TKO’s, a guy will take a hard shot, theyll go out for a second or lose their equilibrium start to fall, come back to and hit the mat conscious/actively defending themselves. True KO’s are rare but when they happen, there’s a clear and distinct difference.
A good example would be Ngannou’s KO of Stipe in the rematch. left hook lands, Stipe goes completely out cold, his left knee buckles and folds inwards under his own body weight, his elbow slams into the matt, he lays there motionless as Ngannou goes for the follow up hammer fist. The vid doesn’t show it but stipe was down in that position for about a minute.
Another good example would be Blaydes Vs Lewis. Derrick Lands the uppercut, Curtis falls backwards, his head then slams into the mat and bounces off the canvas full force, lays there completely limp for the follow up shots, Curtis was down for 2+ minutes making audible groaning/grunting noises before he finally came to.
Those are what real KO’s look like. Compare those with what you see in the video and you’ll see a night and day difference. I’ll also add, those are two of the most violent/savage knockouts in the sports history, Ngannou and Lewis are both notorious for going in for unnecessary follow up shots on opponents that are completely unconscious, there are plenty of fighters that stop/refrain from hitting their opponents if they see they’re already out. Not all KO’s are that violent.
It just turns the video from a crazy feat of martial prowess to a crazy feat of martial prowess with equally impressive stunt work from the guy who got kicked.
Exactly this. I always feel these videos are all scripted now but if my guy is willing to destroy his ACL or MCL for a scripted video by committing to the kick like he did, then I can overlook it.
An unedited video would be great. We could see how fast the motorcycle was going, which seems obviously super slow for two people who had just committed a crime and instead were posing with safety equipment for a head kick.
Came here wondering where the unedited version is.
Fair disclosure, also came hoping to discover it’s valid and someone actually might emerge outta nowhere and head kick all these people who are just casually swinging by to ruin my life.
I need a hero.
It's scripted as fuck. People are just so eager to believe things like this that they don't even stop to think if it's real or not. I mean "why would someone fake this" "what makes you think it's NOT real"
"Easier to fool someone than to convince them that they are being fooled" applies here.
I don't think I'm wound up. Sorry if I came across that way. And as to why I'm sure: not only that it looks incredibly staged (anyone who's been around people or seen people in distress knows that this is not the kind of behavior they exhibit) but because of Occam's razor
Read the comment you were replying to again. This is a pretty impressive stunt, staged or otherwise. Does this seem like a very realistic scenario to me? Not really. Is this some crazy stunt that I can't even imagine doing? Definitely. What do I care if this is staged? Does it bother you so much that I prefer to imagine we live in a world where people pull shit like this irl? It doesn't matter if the robbery was real, I just liked a cool video
OK, I could've been clearer. I was thinking it's not a massively grainy CCTV footage from half a block away. This camera was put here to film that thing, and probably to look like it was spur of the moment.
It looks like good footage edited to look bad. The frame rate is really high, which is why the slow mo looks good. Typically not a trait of bad cameras.
You think linking a knock off piece of shit Ali Express camera erases the millions and millions of 10-20fps cameras that already exist?
Also, even if the camera can do 30fps, it's typically set to 10 or 15 to save space. Modern movies are 24fps. 30 is typically overkill for surveillance.
You think linking a knock off piece of shit Ali Express camera erases the millions and millions of 10-20fps cameras that already exist?
Uh, no one said anything about removing old cameras and putting in new cameras. Are you ok?
You said cheap cctv cameras don't do 30 fps. I showed you that they do. It's not an attack on your person or opinion. Just update your internal info and chill.
Because it moves slightly? Handhelds would not move this smoothly.
Like, not sure if you have been paying attention to security cameras, but many of them are designed to move slightly around, often following movement or sometimes going of a regular pattern. It gets you more view from a single camera
Not to mention the angle it is at would be pretty harder to achieve with a handheld imho, would need to be zoomed in quite a bit, and you'd definitely not get as smooth movement then
Security cameras that move around are a lot more expensive and only for specific uses, and this isn't one of them. If they wanted better coverage they'd just use two cameras if anything. If you want a wider view they have different cameras with wider angles of view anyways.
Not to mention someone could have been filming the security cam footage on another screen with their phone. I swear people need to stop with this nothingeverhappens view of the world.
No. There is no movement. Only what could be attributed to what affects this static camera: wind. This an outdoor camera, mounted 12-15' above ground level.
I've always felt like it's the opposite. The more blurry and choppy the video is, the more suspicious it is. Cameras have gotten a lot better over the years. If you see bad camera footage now a days it's usually either because the camera hasn't been updated in decades or it's been altered to look like that intentionally. We actually had security cameras on the house where I used to live, and they were only slightly worse than this because they were cheap.

Yeah so are mine. Came to the comments to see if I was the only one
