An Orange County daredevil famous on YouTube for jumping off buildings and landmarks was placed under investigation by police after reportedly jumping from a Laguna Beach hotel last week and injuring himself. Anthony Booth Armer, 28, of Laguna Niguel was hospitalized after injuring his feet when a stunt went awry at the Pacific Edge Hotel.

The video also shows photos of the injuries Armer sustained in the late-night incident. He posted another video Tuesday of hospital technicians pulling bandages from his feet.
The Laguna Beach Police Department was notified of the incident after a hotel manager called Thursday, Sgt. Tim Kleiser said.
The manager saw on surveillance footage from the previous night that someone was trespassing on hotel property around 8:20 p.m., Kleiser said. Employees apparently came across Armer.

And the fool hopes to pay his medical bills with a gofundme
Sounds like he’s trying to win the Darwin Award.
He’s lucky to be alive.
And we are lucky to pay his er visit no doubt.
You can’t fix stupid. . . but you can put it in two ankle casts.
His legs took the entire force of the impact. Painful
But unfortunately for us, he did not win a Darwin award.
This is what Dumb Ass looks like.
How do you spell idiot?
FREEPERS must all sit at home with their balls in lock boxes
Any thread about daredevils is always snark
I know we have combat vets here but besides that it’s pretty discouraging
Don’t get hurt or die around here taking any risk or the couch vikings will feast on your pain with I Told You Sos
This guy was kind of a lightweight daredevil wise

Given enough time and money, man will always find a way to harm, hurt, or kill himself.
Ow.
LOL. Stupid risks like that deserve snark.
Stupid should hurt
o-b-a-m-a
Not so great a stunt. Bob “The Gunner” Prince did it years ago.
I was kind of hoping it was a head first attempt. That way he wouldn’t have hurt anything important.
“Missed it by that much!”
Love, 86
Doing something dangerous for a reason is...reasonable. Doing it just to show you are willing to do something dangerous is stupid.
