I did an analysis of this jump - horizontal and vertical acceleration are what you would expect for a real jump

Yeah, Ireland is totally overrun with rats and mice. That’s why it’s called the “Brown Isle”, on account of all the mice and rats. You can’t even see the ground.

You’re probably one of those people that think if it weren’t for the two spiders living in your yard, you would be suffocated by mosquitoes. Like they’re some sort of super pest control.

If anything is thrown or jumps it describes a perfect parabola, kobe flew in an effective straight line.

Which to any human eye looks wrong.
This inate ability to understand speed and parabolas is how we can throw a ball to one anonther, we compute the parabola etc in nanoseconds.

this just read wrong.

Love those jackass boys.

1) This jump is amazingly fake, to the point of ridiculousness. I thought the point of this was to laugh at how silly & obviously fake the jump was (I still think this). I think it’s a hilarious follow-up to his jump over the car (which is also fake, but had a bigger budget and was meant to appear real). But no one’s trying to convince you that any human can jump like that, cause physics doesn’t work that way.

2) RE: ratbite
WTH is your problem? I’m guessing you’re just trying to stir up trouble because you hate Adam’s other posts that tend to be liberal, because if you get this offended so easily, you must lead a stressful life. C H I L L O U T. There are better causes to get fake-mad about than saving snakes from jack-ass, and accusing people who have a sense of humor of being racist. GEEZ

This is not a contest between snake lovers and snake haters. The problem is not with the snake (or the jew or the black guy…) the problem is with you. You hate or fear snakes… that is understandable and you have some of my sympathy. But to celebrate their torment… that puts you in the company - to some degree - of some other well-known individuals that acted on their fears and phobias in less than humane ways.

Would you care to share where you draw the line as to what cruelty “feels good” and puts “a little spring in your step?” Is it just snakes? Does it extend to egg eating mammals, people with different skin color or religious beliefs, or those with physical or mental handicaps?

Yes, indeed, the snake that got away. I can’t wait to try to explain that to the kids. And oh yeah - btw - from now on this is a snake SANCTUARY and we’re going to invite more and more of them to run out their evil biological programs right here in front of our very eyes.

No, Gents. Without revealing too much to the “We Love Snakes” crowd, I’ve put together a collection of tools that push the boundaries of backyard technology. It’ll be snakes that we’ll reap in a fully automated fashion - with a suite of options for how the lethal kill is delivered per our druthers of the given moment. You there - do you wish to incinerate that family of serpents that you’ve mechanically corralled into their arena of death? Do you instead wish to flay them? Chop them into bits? Poison them chemically? Electrocute them? Well, Sir, what will it be?

Is there anything he can’t do?

Of course the BEST way to deal with those snakes would be to dispatch them with a bunch of shovels, but we can’t have everything.

Yeah, I’m all for having fun, and yes, a lot of the stuff jackass do is funny, stupid but very funny.

I just feel sorry for the snakes. I know in the ball pool stunt one bit Johnny Knoxville. It wouldn’t have done that if it wasn’t intimidated. And I swear intimidating animals is, even if minor, a form of animal cruelty.

Sorry to be cynical, I just think it’s a step too far intimidating animals to the point where they feel they need to physically defend themselves.
