Awful + Funny = Awfully Funny?
Elijah Brubaker just put this up on his blog. It’s video of a largish man being suspended from hooks pierced into his back at a tattoo convention in Miami. Things go terribly wrong—not for the weak of heart or stomach. Skip to 2:18 if you’re impatient.

Posted by Reverse Polarity | September 18, 2008 10:07 PMhaha. It was too dark of a video to get grossed out- but the THUD was pretty hilarious!
Posted by CattyMaran | September 18, 2008 10:21 PMAw, guys... I know I've laughed at some pretty terrible stuff on the internet, but I don't find this funny at all. That's probably because I read about it on ModBlog last month (see http://news.bmezine.com/2008/08/31/an-open-letter-to-the-suspension-community/ ).
Here's a bit of info from the article: "Jimmy [Pinango] was admitted to the ICU the day after surgery. Marrow from the broken bone had gotten into his blood, and caused a clot in his lungs. They dissolved the clot, and treated him for the marrow in his blood. [Ed. note: To clarify, in the accident, Jimmy only sustained a broken leg. His admission into ICU was from complications from the broken leg, not as a direct result of the fall itself.]"
"Now at the end of week two [...] Jimmy has been awake and is doing much better. He is out of the ICU and will hopefully be on his way home soon."
