Yes, but he landed flat on his back, which is hardly great. With a better spot to his upper body he could have landed feet first and not had such a smack down.

to me the point of spotting is to make sure the falling person lands on the pads.
surely thats what the pads are for?

+1.
Also to make sure the faller doesn't then catapult sideways into a rock after hitting the pad

agreed

it is nice when the head does not hit the pad very hard

Don't know how to get the link for the newest Instagram clip of Adam ondra:

I'm sure there is a good reason for that heel to be on that pad, some local rules about protecting the flora?

Does this mean the FA is still up for grabs?

Not to mention the usual bum-bounce off the trampoline at the start. Would like to see that without the pads.

t shirt for dab fans



after he asked me to do some "crush, dab, wait" advice for students, my manager looked totally blank when I started going on about how the order was totally wrong for anyone wanting to get their projects done

Surely that belongs in the conceptual dabs thread Mike? Although I'm struggling with the difference between that and reality.

More Instadab...as Scouse spotted, this guy's a serial offender, and as Dave spotted he's doubled down with a wrong start too.

Here's a vid of him (not) doing Magic Bus. In the true spirit of the problem's name, he actually sits down and appears to wait for a bus halfway through doing the problem.

OMG!

I was transfixed watching that in all it's absurdity.

We've probably just earned Strong George a new pair of boots though..

This guy is a gold mine.

If you don't mind watching the same video again (note the similarity in URLs)
