Pole vault screw up

[SimplyAwesome92]

he pulled it

[CrazyJodice]

He could'nt handle that pole

[RyanKenny59]

hahaha XD oh wait it didnt count, you knocked off the beam,

[718310]

this is why you don't pull down on the pole at take off

[celticsniper1]

lucky mofo

[trumbly3]

i get 11 ft on a 3 step and im a freshman

[lllll12121]

@trumbly3 way to brag

[heindlik]

he can be lucky he fell on soft :D

[dantheman513]

that is why you check the pole before you jump

[triplestep1829]

wanker shouldnt have done all the poser stuff at the start. thats what cause it, haha

[VvCheerShelby11]

i hope that never happens to me!

that would scare the shit outta me.

[endmostdavis]

i have seen two poles break i've never broken one though but its a rare but awesome sight

[dannymaxx510]

lol, i have broken the our old practice poles like 2 times

[Cowtipper4957]

that is why you do not use a pole that is a lighter weight than you!

[Cowtipper4957]

what i mean isthat u should weigh no more than the weight of the number on the pole at the top for those of you who dont vault or are new to vaulting

[dantheman513]

you should be able to bend the pole at your body weight just by running and swinging. Any coach who lets their vaulters use a lighter pole is retarded and is a liability. Anyways, the official should have caught that.

[hXeDrummerBoy]

Though kids starting out don't usually go with a pole their weight due to the fact they don't know how to vault. When i started out i was 150 and vaulted 140 with no problems. Now I'm 160 vaulting on a 170.

but yeah, generally vaulting on a pole lighter is bad. Some will learn that the hard way

[dantheman513]

i guess my coach has a different philosophy. He says that we should be able to jump 10' 6" without bending the pole and just taking a 4 stepper. That is what i learned by doing and now im 168 using a 13 70. I get to bend the pole now

[thewintersbreath]

i think he was Bending more than rowing....im new at pole vault and i know that o.O

[VarsXCRunner]

holy sweet jesus that looks painful...im not so sure if i wanna keep pole vaulting now...

[BREW343812]

[Pikajuoksia]

Curent pole vault WR (in men) its at Serhi Bubka and hes record is 614 cm. And in Women ist Yelena Isinbayeva and her record is 505 cm.

[Barbellking]

god what a fat ass... jk lol.

[GChloeG]

oh god that sucks!!

[WOWSTFUPLZ]

HAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHH LMFAO

[JulieAndRachelShow]

the pole was def too small for him... and he was too far back!!lol it was funny though

[every1overrated234]

The reason why it broke is because he was too far back on the pole, it has nothing to do with that person being fat.

[laineamanda87]

video shows stick breaking

[codshu69]

that is wat u git for being fat

[Specofwarrior]

Lol like a Spaggetti xD (Can't spell that SPegetti word lol xD)

[mcintosha06]

no pole vault poles are wood.. if he's using a ucs pole it's mainly fiberglass and different types of fiber glass. some poles use carbon fiber. poles break, shit happens. it sounds liek a gunshot too and fiberglass shoots everywhere. pretty cool actually

[NoCopywrite]

he nearly cleared the high jump record.

[PaulFromOzz]

wtf no he didnt idiot. Thats like 1m.. the world record is like 7

[NoCopywrite]

it was sarcasm hahah

[jeanelles]

dude u had me totally confused u need to put the units...1m...ok yea and 7 whats? DEFINITELY not metres, its feet.

[PaulFromOzz]

7 meters is the world record.

7 feet rofl no

[jeanelles]

the high jump record is 7ft 11 1/2in.(2.43m) somewher around there... ^_^ not metres. 7 metres is impossible.

[PaulFromOzz]

he's doing pole vault tho.......

[jeanelles]

yeh i know but this is all a reply to someone who said "he nearly cleared the high jump record."

[joebro391]

6.15 meters (20'2")

[polecat1112]

do you people seriously think pole vault poles are made of wood? wow.

[rwallace17th]

DAM

[wit2manyknives]

oh yeah and it was a 130 lb pole and I'm 120

[wit2manyknives]

what the heck are you talking about? I broke a UCS pole (definitely not wood)

[10940lito]

wow wood dumbasses

[LazySniper]

no they're not fiberglass or a type of pvc, from what i can tell

[Fredanan]

HAHAHAHHAHAHA that was so funny!

[hellokittyxcaitttt]

fattty!

[rb373]

the poles now, fiber glass poles, dont break (unless theres like 10,000 lbs of pressure) so he was probly using a wooden pole

[dougieframe]

plastic, not wooden?

[rb373]

idk they used to use real flexible wood, maybe its plastic there i really have no idea :)

[ltj45]

um ive seen so many fiberglass poles break its not even funny

[dtpepsivanilla]

Okay, Pole Vaulting is NOT that dangerous of a sport at ALL... as long as you follow the regulations. That kid was using a shitty pole that was probably too light for him... You're supposed to use a pole that can support your weight, and this one OBVIOUSLY did NOT.

Can't feel too sorry for him.

[CharlesWII]

someone had probably stepped on it with their spikes. That happened to me the first time i tried going on a 16' pole, it shattered into millions because it had a tiny hole in it.

[lilaothenn]

people who laugh at this are ignorant...pole vaulting is dangerous, things like this aren't funny.

[ajax1992]

you freakin dumass he did 14 stripes so maybe before you place a comment you look a little bit better

[jgood911]

might want to watch again

[ibender]

14 stripes? what does that mean?

[japancat73]

he must've been very very wide

[crozier999]

heavy bitch

[fredrox34]

lol

[redbullsugar33]

fucking shit tequnique dumb ass try using a shorter pole and lowering it earlier

and wats up with the 13 strides (ment 2 do 12 or 14 idiot

[turtledude888]

rofl!

[omartron]

lol. :P
