[QUOTE=Novangel;43155495]Reaching your hand out to grab a baseball is suddenly attention whoring, you heard it here first![/QUOTE] why look at the damn date
[QUOTE=Novangel;43155495]Reaching your hand out to grab a baseball is suddenly attention whoring, you heard it here first![/QUOTE] how did you manage this
Wow fuck, was on my phone browsing popular threads, didn't even notice the date. God I'm stupid :v:
[QUOTE=Novangel;43155586]Wow fuck, was on my phone browsing popular threads, didn't even notice the date. God I'm stupid :v:[/QUOTE] shit happens yo
Why was it so popular, were people googling baseball deaths?
[QUOTE=Novangel;43155586]Wow fuck, was on my phone browsing popular threads, didn't even notice the date. God I'm stupid :v:[/QUOTE] I'm more curious to how it's popular. :v:
How the hell did you get to this thread though? I get that you missed the date, but I'm really curious as to how people constantly pull up these dead threads. How did you find this?

[QUOTE=cecilbdemodded;30994066]This is what America has come to: There are railings to keep people from falling to their death. The railing is so effective, the only way you can fall over it and die is if you actually deliberately stretch your body far out over the railing, which this guy did(I saw the video). So the solution is not "Use this video to remind the idiots to stay behind the railings", it's "Let's put nets on the other side to catch people too stupid to keep from going over the side". Look at him, the dummy is STILL holding the ball! It's not like he could use his hands right now is it?

I have and I can tell you that it takes a second or so for your mind to get its bearings and begin to react due to the sudden, unexpected nature of the fall. He was probably still disoriented from the sudden shift in weight and had not yet realized what was going on. Everything you said was in bad taste, and you should feel bad about yourself* [I] *though I know you won't.[/I]
[QUOTE=Explosions;43155638]How the hell did you get to this thread though? I get that you missed the date, but I'm really curious as to how people constantly pull up these dead threads. How did you find this?[/QUOTE] I once looked at ban history of someone and, had the thread tabbed, it was very old, I forgot guess what happens next
[QUOTE=Madman_Andre;30994551]twenty feet? He died from a fall that low? I've fallen farther than that uninjured. Must've landed on his head. :v:[/QUOTE] You can die from falling over and smacking your head on the right shaped hard object, even moreso if you are heavyset. He obviously hit the ground in a way that damaged his nervous system or skull.

Wow, I even forgot I'd replied to this thread before. Bravo, Novangel. I was having deja vu but I could not quite place it.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;43155602]Why was it so popular, were people googling baseball deaths?[/QUOTE] It still is if you check the popular list, just behind LMAO Pics and the Starbound thread.
Well for all of the people like myself who thought this wasn't actually 2 and a half years old but are still curious to see the videos (they got taken down I think): [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF7VkfArKL8[/media]
and just as i scrolled before your comment, i thought.. "i should comment about how the videos were down" thanks dude, very happy right now
[QUOTE=Kinversulath;30998041]Now it's even sadder.[/QUOTE] holy shit I don't know how I wouldn't be able to keep from blaming myself for causing his death if I were in his position
he was conscious and talking afterwards and still died fuck man, that's rough, why did this thread have to be bumped
2nd link is gone now, page deleted... Also, catching a fucking ball isn't worth breaking your neck, no matter what.
[QUOTE=Dr. Haxx;43156200]2nd link is gone now, page deleted... Also, catching a fucking ball isn't worth breaking your neck, no matter what.[/QUOTE] I think it's gone because it's news from about two and a half-years ago.
