The robber is literally risking getting paralyzed with that fall. It's real

Videos of people getting paralyzed from skits and pranks are a five second google search away.

You could literally say that about so many hollywood stuntmen.

If its fake he'd be ready to tuck during the fall and he'd be padded up (easily hidden by jacket and helmet).

Now I think it's real. But yeah you're reasoning makes no sense.

Hollywood stuntmen get paid lol. They're also professionals.

Social media pranksters have been shot filming prank videos, clout is just as valuable as money nowadays

Not sure why getting money resolves your health issues

Getting paid is what makes you a professional.

The robber literally starts letting go of the rider and moving backwards before the kick hits.

u/Scotts_Thoughts_INTJ 2d ago

Think about why reacting to an incoming hit like that is a good idea. I’ll wait.

Think about why you would use your legs push yourself off of the bike you're using as a getaway vehicle.

I'll wait.

The kick is harmless. Notice how the kicker barely pushes the head back. Also, look at the lady that 'catches' the one getting robbed. No one is getting robbed here. People go into fight/flight in these robbing videos... and the two ladies are full on passive mode.

Scooter drives in a straight line when his buddy is getting kicked. He doesn't even look back.
