There’s one main reason why I never got into skateboarding as a kid – the risk of injury. Sure, it’s fine just tootling along at walking speed but once you start doing tricks, it’s a different story altogether.
This video shows what can happen when skateboarding goes wrong. This guy goes for some big air in the park, but falls awkwardly and breaks his ankle. Ow, that’s got to hurt.
You can clearly see his ankle is broken, and the bone is sticking through his skin. Although he screams at first, probably from the pain, he soon composes himself enough to call the paramedics.
I love how his friend refuses to call for an ambulance and instead just sits there carrying on recording his friend’s agony. With friends like that, who needs enemies?
