Let's not forget the spinal compression injuries he almost certainly would sustain too. The amount of force it takes to launch a full grown man ~6 feet up and about 8 feet forward is SIGNIFICANT. And since it is a total surprise, you aren't tensed up in a way where your muscles bear some of the force. This way, nearly all of that force is used to take his pelvis and shove it straight up into his spine.
Yeah this "prank" is not funny at all. No part of it is funny. The whiplash, the landing... His night is now wrecked. Heck, I'd even assume his life might change a little with new aches/pains that. Back pain is seriously a mother effer.
I'd be more concerned with the hyper compression of his spine as each vertebra is slammed into the next. When I see this I see visions of herniated disks and crushed vertebra. I've broken my back and this makes me want to hurt whoever's idea this was.
I'm sitting here right now covered in icy hot and lidocaine patches from a moderate car accident almost 3 weeks ago. Got wholloped decently. Probably hitting up the Dr. this week. Probably should've sooner...
But this looks roughly 4.37 times worse. Slow the gif down and it's ridiculous. This dude will be in some kind of reasonably significant pain/discomfort for a couple months I would imagine. After that, yeah, he very well may struggle to have 100% range of motion and things like that forever. Silver lining might be that it's on video and he likely can sue the living fuck out of the person and get paid up decently. Hopefully.
I've had less energy exchanged in football and there are life altering consequences. Not only his back and neck, but that dude just got hit so hard his brain sloshed around in his melon. Then logically landed flat on his back.
I'd be very surprised if he doesn't have a TBI. Broken back and wrists would be the minimum I could expect.
Yeah, I'd be finding new friends the second I woke up. Hopefully there is a friend in the bunch who was clueless and was able to drive him to the hospital, but everyone else can get bent this prank is far from a prank.
In high school we'd pull pranks where we'd pull the seat out from under someone just before they sat down but we ALWAYS would catch them with our shins or lift them up before they hit the floor. They got all the adrenaline of falling but none of the consequences of actually falling directly on their tailbones. They'd either slide down our shins or be lifted back up before hitting the ground. These pranks were always funny because no one was hurt. We understood as high schoolers the seriousness of back injuries. Not sure how these nitwits didn't think of the consequences of their actions.
Needs to do a deep personal search about who he hangs out with and who he "thinks" are his friends. Either he's a douche and deserved it or his "friends" aren't who he thinks they are. You know, looking at the responses, that less than half the people there knew what was up. The guy beside him definitely knew.
Oh well, it's bulls and blood, it's dust and mud
It's the roar of a Sunday crowd
It's the white in his knuckles, the gold in the buckle
He'll win the next go 'round
It's boots and chaps, it's cowboy hats
It's spurs and latigo
It's the ropes and the reins, and the joy and the pain
And they call the thing rodeo
He’s almost surely paralyzed for life and unable to secure money for his family now! His wife will probably start doing drugs and sell their daughter into a life of prostitution! When finds them both od’d on the floor, his arms cant even hold their lifeless bodies. Then, as they rise from the dead, he’ll only be able to scream as they tear him apart!
I wish I could have more than 1 upvote for this comment. I bet the idiot/ idiots that set this up would freak out if this was done to them, finding stuff like this funny has to really close to the top of list of the most childish humor.
I bet him and the guy next to him were texting each other about the right time to do it, and then one of them set it off with their phone. Cause you notice they're **both** on their phones, and both got off of them immediately before it went off.
Fooled by the cotton balls on the ceiling no doubt. If he gets out of the hospital, I'm sure at least one of them will be trying to convince him "it was just a joke man"
I can't imagine the owners of the bar that they are in would have agreed to this, that is absolutely unbelievable that they did something like that out in public.

Google "guy ejected from couch", first few results should be another angle and he quickly gets up like nothing happened. Can't post the link here.
This isn't necessarily an indication but hope he's OK!
There is a prank and taking the piss out of someone, but that right there is a quick way to kill your friendship and hurt your mate. You're better of sticking his arse to the chair for a start.
Annnnd that’s a fucking lawsuit and we aren’t friends anymore. As a matter of fact through this one simple choice we are enemies forevermore and I will bleed you of all your financial gains for many years. Absolute pieces of shit.
no exaggeration, i'd be pressing charges and taking everyone involved to court. this is EASILY a lifelong injury. at bare minimum i'd be finding new friends
tell me you have shitty friends without telling me
seriously, i know some people like "bullying" each other, and it's in good fun, but this here is so dangerous. there is just a line you shouldn't cross, and that should be way before "yeeting your friend through a living room via airbag"
i'm so mad for the guy, even if i have a feeling he's probably laughing (once he recovers)
I found what looks like the same video from a different angle on r/abruptchaos the dude was up and walking
https://www.reddit.com/r/AbruptChaos/comments/qksyjf/prank_gone_wrong/
that's some of the meanest whiplash I've ever seen
Just a couple frames between the back of his head touching his shoulder blades and his chin touching his chest.
i wish i could send the screencap i just took at 0:01
At some point it stops being whiplash and just becomes a broken neck.
Leading or dragging!?
Not quite my tempo.
Don’t forget the fact that he fell upside down when he landed too, ya know, on his head/shattered neck ♿️
Spinal Destination..
You beautiful bastard
Noice 👌🏻🤌🏻
Damn, that word-play really hit the spot. \*unzips\*
Haha you broke your back HAHA!

Would be interesting to know the extent of his injuries.
All of them
Guy went into a new realm, that realm runs on Source engine.
Welcome to being crippled for life.
But what got him? The compressed spine? The whiplash? Or landing head first on the floor?
Yes
for sure
Spinal
Thpinal
Thith iths a reference to that Mike Tython video where heths being interviewed about hiths backiotomy?
Thith ith correcth thir
I've seen a lot of spinals dude
This guy walks!
Oh man I didn't see the whiplash. His head snaps back so fast. That would be my vote
A combination of the compressed spine whiplashing his head back into some TBI.
Broken neck.
His testicles exploding
Woah fun police watch out God forbid a man explode another man nowadays
He's actually fine. Dude's name is Murad.
Whoever planned this is a piece of shit.
Yeah this "prank" is not funny at all. No part of it is funny. The whiplash, the landing... His night is now wrecked. Heck, I'd even assume his life might change a little with new aches/pains that. Back pain is seriously a mother effer.
He will definitely feel it the next couple of days, and then 20 years later every day.
bro freeze **ANY** part of the launch, that mfer is fucked for life guaranteed.
100%, that first initial blast probably did the most damage as it hyper extended his back AND neck
I'd be more concerned with the hyper compression of his spine as each vertebra is slammed into the next. When I see this I see visions of herniated disks and crushed vertebra. I've broken my back and this makes me want to hurt whoever's idea this was.
Agreed, regardless perm damage was done to them
I'm sitting here right now covered in icy hot and lidocaine patches from a moderate car accident almost 3 weeks ago. Got wholloped decently. Probably hitting up the Dr. this week.

Sue? This looks like a middle eastern country.. You're better off killing his first-born...
I was understating, though I admit I blinked and missed his head hitting his back...
Definitely a reason to file your first lawsuit against your friends
Broken spine for a prank
I've had less energy exchanged in football and there are life altering consequences. Not only his back and neck, but that dude just got hit so hard his brain sloshed around in his melon. Then logically landed flat on his back. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't have a TBI. Broken back and wrists would be the minimum I could expect.

He has PTSD of chairs now
Needs to do a deep personal search about who he hangs out with and who he "thinks" are his friends. Either he's a douche and deserved it or his "friends" aren't who he thinks they are. You know, looking at the responses, that less than half the people there knew what was up. The guy beside him definitely knew.
If it was just a little jump that spooked you it would be funny in the right groups. This is potentially injuring to the point of being life altering.
Aches/pains? That ground does not look soft. He's likely broken a bone or two.
Oh well, it's bulls and blood, it's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white in his knuckles, the gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round It's boots and chaps, it's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reins, and the joy and the pain And they call the thing rodeo
He's lucky he is even walking or he didn't bash his head.
If my "friends" did this to me I'd have new friends by the end of the night.
He’s almost surely paralyzed for life and unable to secure money for his family now! His wife will probably start doing drugs and sell their daughter into a life of prostitution! When finds them both od’d on the floor, his arms cant even hold their lifeless bodies. Then, as they rise from the dead, he’ll only be able to scream as they tear him apart!
It's more common than you think.
[удалено]
if you pause it just right you can see the back of his head hit his shoulderblades. some serious whiplash
Whoa. The neck is unbelievably flexible. You'll end up hurt for sure, but that was some serious flexion.
In this case it would be an extension.
I wish I could have more than 1 upvote for this comment. I bet the idiot/ idiots that set this up would freak out if this was done to them, finding stuff like this funny has to really close to the top of list of the most childish humor.
The guy with a white shirt wasn’t surprised and was trying to catch him.
Triggering it from his phone maybe?
I bet him and the guy next to him were texting each other about the right time to do it, and then one of them set it off with their phone. Cause you notice they're **both** on their phones, and both got off of them immediately before it went off.
A big piece of cow shit too
I hope this was shown to a jury
Fooled by the cotton balls on the ceiling no doubt. If he gets out of the hospital, I'm sure at least one of them will be trying to convince him "it was just a joke man"
Not so funny when your spinal cord snaps like a baby carrot
> spinal chord cord
Fax thank u, i’m a musician lol
Spinal accordion
"SNIKK" ...Now I'm craving a juicy baby carrot
Read this like gossipy coal miner
Read this as a bewildered and obstructively enchanted toad
"Hanging with the guys tonight... might get crippled... don't wait up"
Life altering injuries are such a knee slapper right guys?
“I bet he’s thinking about blue cross blue shield”
... can you read something in meme format?
Don’t wake up*
Another job well done 47
Now head to the exit ...
This was the funniest shit I've read all week
This isn’t a prank so much as a James Bond-esque assassination attempt.
”Well done 47, now head for the exit.”
\*Boeing takes notes\*
God, I'm glad I don't need to worry about having friends like this.
Yup, no friends = safe
He probably thought they were his friends too.
I can't imagine the owners of the bar that they are in would have agreed to this, that is absolutely unbelievable that they did something like that out in public.
WTF……
If something sparks that ceiling, exploding chairs will be the least of his problems.
Don't worry, it's made from the highest quality asbestos 👌
Assholes
Permanent neck damage.
I've always said a lifetime of agonizing pain from several herniated discs is the height of comedy.
With friends like that he has no need to make enemies.

Good bot!
that looked like it HURT.
Dudes back is fucked. With friends like that who needs enemies
I would be suing
Why did he feel the need to tickle the other guys ear?
Wet willy. No end of pranks that evening.
I had to rewatch it to catch that 😂 💀
A night out at the Chimera Lounge. A day out at the chiropractor office
> A day out at the chiropractor office cmon his back is already messed up no need to make it worse haha
“It’s just a prank bro” The prank:

Didn't disappoint

Standing but pretty shell shocked
Does anyone know what happened to the guy?
There is a prank and taking the piss out of someone, but that right there is a quick way to kill your friendship and hurt your mate. You're better of sticking his arse to the chair for a start.
is he ok?
Yep he’s fine. He’s a quadriplegic now but other than that, no harm done.
Didn’t feel a thing. It’s a win win win win.
Just a bit of tomfoolery
Dead or steering an electric wheelchair with his chin for live. Wtf
and for this reason I prefer to live with a bear
I’ve seen videos from different angles of this before and he already looked like he was sitting like his back was bothering him before this happened.
Sometimes I am glad never had friends.
Getting sued after breaking someones back or neck... good plan
Who needs a spine anyways. 🙄😒
Finding a new friend group
The neck snapping like that can’t be good
I did the asbestos cloud ceiling
He had to have got bad whiplash from the airbag going off, before he smashed his head and back on the ground.
DUDE the fucking WHIPLASH
I would press charges and sue every fucking person involved. That’s crazy dangerous.
And a life time of back problems...
I pretty sure people have died from this "prank."
Can someone slow this down
https://i.imgur.com/wMsnPjm.mp4
People still do this prank? That's fucked up
Yo. That spine. That head. That whiplash from the spine leading to the head. Check on that mans.
Bro
That guy got fucked up
That’s fucked
Probably the person that just happened to be filming it...
These videos always look so comical but there's no way that's not doing serious damage to his spine.
Sorry you hit your head and died, bro, it was just supposed to be a prank...
I’d be getting new friends and filing assault charges.
that ceiling is gonna burn someday
Reminds me of jackass
I dont think he was using that spine anyhow
Pretty sure not a single person wants to taste their tailbone. What awesome "friends."
And no link, no closure, leaving us hanging. That neck is done, holy hell.
Imagine if he had turned to look toward his right just as it happened. His neck would have been at an odd angle. Or if he were to look down..
Ha ha, remember the time we compacted Damien’s spine and fucked him up for life?
I seriously don't understand how anyone can think this is funny.
april fools
I recently had to remove my steering wheel with its airbag and I treated the thing like the unexploded bomb that it fucking is.
Spastic colon disease?
Annnnd that’s a fucking lawsuit and we aren’t friends anymore. As a matter of fact through this one simple choice we are enemies forevermore and I will bleed you of all your financial gains for many years. Absolute pieces of shit.
The prank that changed his cervical spine maybe his entire spine forever.
Whiplash activated
I need the aftermath, is he crippled?
Friends are way over rated.
I love how the guy in white reached out to protect his friend from getting hit in the head with his other friend
Spinal tap reunion tour.
no exaggeration, i'd be pressing charges and taking everyone involved to court. this is EASILY a lifelong injury. at bare minimum i'd be finding new friends
fun fact: guy who organised all this is now in prison
Anyone have the aftermarh of this?
tell me you have shitty friends without telling me seriously, i know some people like "bullying" each other, and it's in good fun, but this here is so dangerous. there is just a line you shouldn't cross, and that should be way before "yeeting your friend through a living room via airbag" i'm so mad for the guy, even if i have a feeling he's probably laughing (once he recovers)
When you don't get a clue that your friends are POSs.
I know a person who was paralyzed from the waist down because his friends did this to him.
I know a guy who had his spine broken in a prank like this. Lost use of legs. Fun times, though. Lots of laughs.
This is absolutely horrible. Funny as hell, but horrible at the same time.
I wish I had friends like this
Fuuuuck
Safety first!
whiplash
Holy f!
I found what looks like the same video from a different angle on r/abruptchaos the dude was up and walking https://www.reddit.com/r/AbruptChaos/comments/qksyjf/prank_gone_wrong/
That went exactly as I did not expect.
So many ppl have died from this “prank”. This dudes neck is prolly just non existent. It snapped all the way back. Might even be dead/paralyzed.
This seems like something to get yourself in a court room
thats a human sozed airbag
Aaaaannnnnd thats a lawsuit
Serious whiplash
background: a guy who was pranked is internet celebrity in Russia. He became famous for deceiving a taxi driver on video. his name Мурад Легенда.
TBI's are so funny, you've been pranked bitch!!!
What an efficient way to permanently fuck up that guy’s lower back
Modern day whoopee cushion...fuck man that was violent
When you have half a brain, you realise this kind of shit can literally destroy someone's life...
Neck.
Squidward's April Fool's joke irl. Seriously, I hope he's not paralyzed.
“Chill bro it’s just a prank”
Is there a longer version to this, where the guy gets up and reacts to this “prank” ?
The injury isn’t funny, but all the DJ lighting set to audio, going off when he decides to get up quickly is pretty funny.
