stevegrab Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I hate working on the ladder and am almost always by myself when I do it. So I make sure I have my cell phone with me. Still trying to figure out what the guy was trying to do. Filming himself seems to indicate he was trying some dumb stunt or something. Or do people film themselves doing yard work and othe mundane tasks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithkt Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I think it's pretty clear from the clip that he turns around to face the pool, attempts to jump, loses his footing and face plants. He did not simply fall from the ladder as the video description says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Irish Doggy Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 A great example of Newton's Laws of motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Remember that next time you jump from an unbraced ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Seems like he must have been seriously injured, no? Makes me a bit uncomfortable watching it if the dude is now in traction or paralyzed, notwithstanding what a jackass he was for trying the stunt.

Hugh 0ne Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Seems like he must have been seriously injured, no? Makes me a bit uncomfortable watching it if the dude is now in traction or paralyzed, notwithstanding what a jackass he was for trying the stunt. The film begins with a clip of Zavadil's most notorious stunt in which he attempted to dive into a covered swimming pool from a ladder. The ladder was unstable and his jump resulted in a head-first landing on the concrete deck. Zavaldil then fell into the tarp of the pool, and nearly drowned as it sank until a neighbor came by and saved him. Zavadil fractured his neck as a result requiring a six-month recovery.
