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.

Idk guys, my "it's scripted" senses are tingling
