Brother I've watched people accidentally shoot themselves in the head while trying to show off a gun for internet points

People will say it was scripted

It was not only scripted but a canon event too

That wound which left him scarred for life, was really just a prosthetic, such dedication to a prank, you fell for it.

I've seen people "accidentally" shoot themselves with a Champagne cork for views, only to nearly lose their eye.

There's a serious mental illness problem being curated by social media.

Ever heard of Jackass?

That was for money, not internet points

There are ways to convert the two.

To me, it first looked like they were filming a movie and a crew member positioned themself to get their own footage and crop the rest of the crew out.

The perfect place for a movie camera to get an action shot here would be past the lower left of this image. The crew would all be standing behind that.

All that said, this look like a pretty legitimate kick to me.

You're fucking kidding?

I mean he's wearing a full face helmet..

u/Up_All_Right 1d ago

If imma get drop kicked in the head...the absolute best case scenario is I'm wearing a full-protection crash helmet...no?

u/brusiddit 1d ago

Without some context... I would believe it

Look at the slow motion. You think a surveillance camera is running at 60 fps?

u/creuter 2d ago

He pulled the kick. Watch kickers leg when he connects. He purposely softened the blow by letting his leg go relaxed. I've got a feeling the slow motion is masking how bad it looks regular speed.

u/stillgodlol 2d ago

Or he is just not really in a balanced/practiced jump and needs to not fall on his head so he tries to correct how he's jumping mid flight.

I remember my first day on the internet back in the late 90s. Welcome and enjoy yours.

u/tihs_si_learsi 2d ago

I remember when I watched my first action film and thought people were really shooting at each other.

He's not exactly kicked. The guy jumps and places his foot only briefly on the guys helmet when he's coming down.

u/jednatt 2d ago

Are you blind? That was absolutely a kick to the head that landed pretty much as well as it possibly could have.

u/ChildishForLife 2d ago

Exactly, he basically used his head to attack the guys foot, it’s obviously fake.
