What an idiot, I'm not sure what he thought would happen if he jumped into the audience from that high up. He broke a girls arm as well.

What an absolute moron.
He also broke both of his legs. I always thought he was more intelligent than this
Wow...
I had a friend who was there, took a photo

What a silly sausage
stupidass
This is what happens when you play the video games.
It's kind of ironic because I think the song says "I don't give as fuck".
good lord.
reminds me of Eddie Vader and how he'd climb the scaffolding.
[quote]The audience reportedly parted, and Watsky fell to the floor, suffering unknown injuries.[/quote]
Did he really expect people would try catching him?
He must have thought the audience loved him so much that they would be his cushion.
Now he has to piss in a bag in hospital because he's all broken from being a twat.
reminds me of when the guitarist from Aerodynamic climbed up a large support beam to play a solo.

Oh god, I shouldn't be laughing at this but I am.
I hope he'll never walk again, What the fuck was he thinking jumping into a crowd like that with his feet down? He could have killed someone.

if i did the same thing it would have made a crater
I guess the Moral of the Story is that he's not Strong as an Oak.
Nah but I used to be a fan of this guy, lost loads of respect for him after this.
Joel O'Keeffe does this all the time for his guitar solos, only difference is he doesn't try and jump off into the crowd like an idiot...

[I]Hey asshole[/I], what do you think your legs are as [I]Strong as an oak[/I]? I hope you get the[I] Moral of the story[/I], and stop trying to [I]Kill a hipster[/I]. The audience isn't a bunch of [I]Cardboard castles[/I]!

From some OF concert, jumping from the rigging.
That probably was not the smartest thing to do.
Dillinger Escape Plan like to climb and jump off shit as well, but I don't think any of them would jump from that high up into a crowd. Here's a video of the guitar player hanging upside down from the ceiling and playing.

[quote]This is news to some, but many of you may have heard about the incident today at Warped Tour London. I jumped off an extremely tall lighting tress during my last song, and was taken to the hospital for examination. I was released, and I'm fine, besides some nicks, bruises, and the shame of endangering the crowd. The fall broke a girl's arm and hurt another guy. My tour manager Nils and I stayed at the hospital for 6 hours til the visiting period ended, and all I know about the man's condition at this point is that he has no breaks and the injury seems to be muscular/ bruising. I'll be going back in the morning to try to apologize, but I wouldn't blame the guy if he spits in my face. The jump was not awesome, it was not badass, and it was not ballsy. It turned what should have been a great day for the people who got hurt into a nightmare. It was stupid and wildly irresponsible, plain and simple.
I have no excuse for my actions, and the only way I can explain my mindset is that it was a huge overreach in the heat of the moment. No, I was not drunk or on drugs. I used to be a kid who was afraid to do anything physically dangerous-- I was scared of the ball in little league, didn't want to jump into lakes and would never have had the nerve to crowdsurf. But in the last year of touring, I've done increasingly risky things, maybe pushing myself by some dumb sense I am conquering my early timidity. I pride myself on trying to put on a good show and always giving 100% energy, but jumping off some high shit doesn't make someone a good musician or performer. I feel fucking terrible. I made a boneheaded decision that got people hurt, and it's extremely lucky it wasn't worse. Putting your own body on the line is one thing, but putting other people in harm's way is inexcusable. Today I let down my supporters, I let down the Warped Tour and I let down my band and the people who work their asses off behind the scenes to make these shows happen. My #1 priority right now is to somehow make this right for the folks who were hurt.
I will not be canceling the remaining 6 tour dates. I will do the shows, as usual I will meet everyone afterwards, and I will NOT be jumping off anything. I am deeply sorry and I promise to learn from this mistake.[/quote]

Sounds like an honest guy, what he did does look like a dimwitted heat of the moment thing. Plus once you start facing old fears and conquering them you start to take bigger and bigger leaps. Most of the time in the wrong direction, or wrong way.
