 @3:25 ... Wow. This guy's MTB gear is engineered like an F1 car, where every piece that breaks off takes some of the crash energy with it.

 Perfect form for Friday! Just ride right off the drop, Gerald. Man.. This week is particularly violent.
  • 6 0
 @ncrider5: Almost perfect. Heels didn't hit the back of the head on the scorpion.

 Wow, that was spectacular fail in every aspect! Maybe the guy's helmet is way too heavy and fragile! I've never seen a helmet break apart in so many pieces!

 @LucaP: He's no Kiprusoff. His scorpion imitation didn't make any saves Big Grin

 That dude who faceplanted off the porch is going to be spitting out grass for a week. His sisters nailed the same drop on last week's Saturday Sends, this must be humbling for him.

 Some brutal ones this week. Is the person at 3:17 still alive?
  • 1 0
 was wondering the same... I love Friday fails... I am not a fan of the super brutal ones though... the ''just painful enough to still be funny'...
  • 8 0
 Boy, everything between "haha, that was cute" and "omg, did he survive this?!". I hate to see these brutal crashes.
And somehow, people who have no idea of jumping don't hesitate to do relatively big but poorly built jumps.

 Same with the drops. "I have no idea how to do a 1 foot drop, so I'll just try this 3/4/6/n foot one!"

 @akaye: Ballsy indeed.. but why???
  • 5 0
 1:35, i dont understand how people are going over the bars just riding along on flat ground? like did he just grab the front brake and only the front brake as hard as possible? i cant see any other way that could have happened, and if thats what happened, why would he do that?

 How has no one mentioned the decapitation at 0:36 yet? That's one of the worst I've ever seen.
  • 1 0
 yeah, that was really hard to watch
  • 4 0
 Also the guy at 1:14. He rolls into the tree with his back and twitches like he us having a seizure right after hitting it.

OUCH!

 @FaastEddie: wonder if there should be some kind of rules that rule out the vids that end up in serious lasting injuries or even death...
  • 1 0
 @saladdodger: so many videos in Friday Fails like, landing on top of your head, slamming into trees…

Half of those are life long serious injuries. All these people trying stuff way outside their riding ability.

 brutal this week! damn ...

 I liked how many did not involve jumps this week. Hitting big jumps of course you are going to fail brutal like Obituary some of the time, but body and bike destroying fails just riding down the trail, that is creative.

 0:24 dude hits the ground hard enough that one of his shoes flies off?? Jeebus...

 Thanks for pointing that out, I had to go back and watch again. Funny.

 A start to finish cringe fest. Some of the best variety of brutal fails … the tree scorpions are a little too close to home (mine was two years ago this week) … and I’m just getting back to form now … still need to regain grip strength. Good luck on their healing …
  • 4 0
 The trees definitely scored some points this week.

 Today's views are dominated by the slam-the-front brake bunch, a "well I might crash so going ahead and crashing gets it over with" and such. Human nature, quick decisive pain is better than fear.

 2:57 “look where you’re going”. Yah no shit Sherlock, you think that’s a good idea?
  • 2 0
 Lots of good examples of how its actually safer to hit the feature than to bail

 Guy at 1:20 got taco'd the hard way.

 @JWadd: I was looking at that too, almost looked like nerves spasms, wouldn't be surprised if he had some broken vertebrae

 The dude at 1min has a bike that's so clapped it sounds like it's asking for sweet sweet death.

 This was a great FF! Epic tree hits (sorry trees), and some quality scorpions. Smile

 There's something amiss with the PB title of fail video overflowing with injuries and carnage:

"We've got another great batch of fails for you this Friday!"

 2:05 Not everyday you see a kid do a Superman upon the landing, ( nice extension BTW).
That kid at :36...is he alive?
And that hi speed 3peat opening scene...

 I love when 3 people crash in a row, but you can tell they all would've crashed even separately.

 Dude at 1:45 might want to tighten his stem up a bit.

 I was thinking he could’a done with something to stop ‘wheel flop’ that we all learned about the other day.
