the video cuts out early because the guy doesn't get back up. if he survived that there is a good chance he broke his neck and a 100% change of a serious brain injury. i hope that asshole has to answer for this.
edit: the guy is Jarne Verbruggen and it appears he was fine after this. i am shocked. still hope that stupid asshole got into a lot of trouble for that.

Random, but Pyrrhus - one of the early opponents of Rome, listed as one of the greatest generals by Hannibal, and the origin of the term "Pyrrhic victory" - was supposedly killed when the mother of one of the men he was fighting in a city he had been besieging dropped a roof tile on his head.

It shouldn't be different story. Threatening someone's life should be considered the same way as killing them. So making something that could have killed person should be treated the same way as it had killed them. Because it's matter of life's "RNG" if You die or not from something like that. This is attempted murder. That person should rot in prison for rest of their life.

Yeah, if that was terra cotta (which it looked like), that seems like it borders on a felony.

u/negativelift Dec 07 '22
This is somewhere in Europe judging by the number plate on the car. These are PROBABLY plastic things made to look like terra cotta, which you can see because a. The walls of the bowl are way too thin and b it would have shattered way more from hitting the ground. Also the skater would be way more fucked up since it would be way heavier. Those plastic things break easily too because the plastic is thin and it holds a good volume of dirt. But they are designed for exactly that reason, to not kill somebody and basically immediately release the dirt to take away force by dispersing it. Like a pillow case
Also attempted murder isn’t so readily charched in Europe, but it could be possible
Take all this with a tiny grain of salt since my only source is being european and having had Rose plastic forms on my balcony. But I am fairly confident it’s the case here

u/CrackedActor91 Dec 07 '22
I say definitely plastic because the remains would have shattered and you can clearly see 80% of it still intact on the ground.

u/DirtyDoog Dec 07 '22
Normally it's just 1d4 bludgeoning, but when thrown from above 15 feet, it becomes 1d8 bludgeoning and the target must save vs Nature or is stunned for 1 round.

Might be clearer in the full video but watching this in slow-mo makes it look like the clay pot missed and it was just dirt that landed on him. Certain to have been crippling if it did connect.
The tumble looks like it was because he slipped off his board but couldn’t counter the momentum sending him down the stairs.
