This young man had the bright idea to back-flip off a rugby goal post and, because safety is paramount, had the good sense to place a padded mat behind him.

Unfortunately though, he completely misses the mat, smashes into the pole and then crashes into the hard, unforgiving ground below.

Good news is it was all caught on camera, so not like he went through it all for nothing.

Ouch. On the bright side he’s sort of internet-famous now, albeit for a different reason than he was hoping for. Instead of nailing the perfect goal-post back flip he’s got himself a crushed sternum with the possible bonus of some minor brain haemorrhaging. Still – viral is viral.
