hanging by your skin, what a great idea....

"suspension community" lawl, That is where even I draw the line. Crazy people, need to find something better to do.

[musiqlovur]

Oh lord what is wrong with people? I'm just as open to things as anyone else but seriously.. what the fuck. Stupidity at its finest.

[Dreamydre15]

Why would anyone want to hang from their skin anyway? These people across from my house are doing it right now.

[eddieboomskid]

@Dreamydre15 I can only speak from experience here but as far as that goes; because it's both physically and mentally challenging, it's fun, when the endorphins kick in it's like sitting in the palm of gods hand, and because I can.

[BileMonkey]

Hehe. Pwn3d!

[eddieboomskid]

At the height he was at; he should have had a safety harness and I'm sure any similar suspension will have harnesses or a net as a result of this horrifying experience.

And FYI no one feels worse about this than the suspension community.

[darkmaster01]

@eddieboomskid and what a community that is

[eddieboomskid]

@darkmaster01 not sure if you meant that in a positive or negative way; but anyway I'll say that I have met a lot of genuinely good people via suspension events etc. and the community and suspension itself lay close to my heart.

[darkmaster01]

@eddieboomskid who was the first person to say... um you know what i'm gonna go shove some hooks through my back and just hang

[eddieboomskid]

@darkmaster01 suspension rituals have been practiced for thousands of years among various cultures; some of the more noteworthy being the Mandan and the Oh-kee-pah ritual, also to be noted would be the Sundance ritual. As far as modern suspension goes the two of the greatest pioneers were Fakir Musafar and Stelarc; plenty can be found on all of the fore-mentioned should you choose to research them a bit.

i've suspended for years and this was foolish. that piercer is finished. when what we use the weight is a factor it'll determine the gauge of hook, rig design, and weight tested everything. he probably did that but when using a bungee you have to count him as double his weight for saftey

[jcherb686]

The shitty part about this is that he didn't sustain more injuries. Stupid Fuck.

[DBatman420]

Just because he can handle being that high up and u can't doesn't mean he's stupid besides he's a great guy who is alot of fun (something that your not)and love's his thrills. Yeah Go JIMMI!

[stilldeceitful]

I could see the tensile strength of something such as this failing when you have a 300lb person bouncing up and down on it. A rubberband will strech, but I wouldn't use it as a bungee cord if you know what I mean. Everything has it's limits.

[riszha87]

well sayd

[livndgaf]

the oly fucked up thing is that the damn hotel did not have a emt unit on stand by how dumb can you be shame on the hotel!

[Miamimikewotr]

Actually there was a doctor standing right next to me as I shot. He's a trauma and emergency room doc and he was ready for the fall.

[vwartime]

these guys dont know shit and im trying to find the video of where they try and say they are equal to the x games,for one you need a team of professionals before you can even come close to saying you are even near the caliber of x games and there performers,you suck and so do those morons you have hanging with you,disgrace is right.

[Deadite369]

JEEZ!

[DeepSeaDv]

the suspension community is trying to figure out what caused the quiklink failure, it would be a great help if you have any video or pictures of this suspension. please send me a message here on you tube

aloha

[Holmoon]

what is wrong with you people? He could have been killed with no safety net and nobody seems to care

[vwartime]

ive met these fools and science is key to these kinds of experiments ,its called weights and measures bobo,use it cuz gravity takes on all comers,hahahaha

[DeepSeaDv]

Joe Amato says, "We all do the same thing, on different levels, but all suspend". from what I can see on the video you were performing WAY above your suspension "level" Joe!

get well soon Jimmy!

[vwpiercer]

as the saying goes... your only as strong as your weakest link.. glad he didnt get injured much more and will be ok. man this thing got alot of publicity

[adreamunchased]

I was there when this happened!

not that close, I was on the other side of the pool

[beaturheartout3904]

your right, these things arent supposed to happen and im 100% positive that everyone involved took all the proper percautions. its was just equipment failur. shame it happened

[piglit50]

yeah i was at the expo by the stage.. i was working security. this was the highlight of the night and of course there was the fetish party!!!

[paparatt1]

So why wasn't he wearing any safety gear?

[pwnguin87]

We never do. Usually dont need it.

This things arent suppose to happen.

[paparatt1]

Christ. There's so much stupid in that I don't know where to begin.

[theycallmeCOLA]

the information regarding most of the videos of this incident are incorrect.

[Miamimikewotr]

My info is correct

[cmdrthac0]

This needs to happen more often

[miapet55]

was there, seen this happen. his ankle/leg was visibly damaged

[desaad37]

FAIL!
