To which I'd say that would be 23:59 hours of potentially daily wasted video. Because I I did today was mow the lawn.

And promptly took one giant step right off this wall:


Right where the wall curves it's about 4.5-5 feet off the driveway. I'm backing up, pulling the lawnmower to realign it better to get close to the edge, and I literally take a step directly out in the air.

Now you can picture how I fell two different ways:
#1. The Wyle E. Coyote. One leg on, and one leg off when I realize that there is nothing under my right foot. Immediately followed by my downward drop.

#2. Timber! This would be me in more of a whole body driveway belly flop.

In reality it was neither. The actual calamity was like more of a building collapse as my right leg went off first causing me to lose balance and kinda hit the ground in a one-two-three pile. Right foot hits first, foot rolls out from under me, then to the knee, hip, shoulder. For a while I thought I broke my right wrist, as It somehow managed to get between me and the ground in some sort of attempt to stop my fall. It hurt like hell for the next hour.

I actually thought "I'm falling" as I spilled off the wall, and took note of the fact that once I let go of the mower, it shut off. Good thing I didn't drag that btch off with me, might've been a little more serious that a scraped up elbow, and a sprained wrist.

But purely for entertainment value, I'm sure it was funny as hell for somebody coming up the road to watch as I disappeared off that wall.

Yaahhhhhhhhh!!!

My wife sure did, Especially when I told her that I yelled God D**n it at the top of my lungs while still laying on the ground.

I made 10k hamburger buns and banged my knee on a generator this evening.

Please change thread title to "Walter White: Busting his @ss"

I'll send the memory card for the go pro... Wasted footage would be fine so long as that one moment was caught on tape

Oh, glad you're okay Mike

@Noobz347 can we get this added as an emoji for posts like this from @madmike1157 ?
I could also settle for a smiley with glasses and the hat

THAT looks like it could have been really serious. I worked with a guy who stepped backwards off of a 6 foot high platform and did not survive the fall. Mike, if you left that situation with a turned ankle and scrapes/bruises I would count myself lucky were I you..

No offense Heisenberg, you're no spring chicken.. (nor am I) You gotta watch crap like that, man. Don't wanna lose our favorite mad fabricator.

Husky 44 said I should wear one everywhere, everyday (so he'd be able to appreciate me fallin out of my booth onto the floor at the bar after yelling at the top of my lungs to make a point that nobody else appreciated) I don't know. If I looked at footage of that event after the effect, I'd say that it was staged.
Up until the waitress' face hovers over mine while I'm layin' on the floor and she's b itchin' me out for scaring her.

I'd never wear the thing, because I'd justify the likelihood of any dork worthy footage by saying "all I'm gonna do is mow the lawn,....what could possibly happen"?
