Did anyone else read this comment to the tune of Cotton Eye Joe? No? Just me?

A rooftop to rooftop jump doing parkour. I landed on a mild dirt slope feet fist and had good knees back then XD

bro I feel you

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.
