I always feared an injury like that when I was forced into gymnastics in HS gym. Yes, I was badly coordinated then and am worse coordinated now. No way I was going to turn myself into a paraplegic by doing a fool thing like that, even at age 16, or any other age.

If no force or threat was used/communicated no crime was committed...IMO.

When do the riots, looting and arson start? Oh, it's black on black, so never mind.

...a felony charge of willfully disregarding a person's safety...

I don't think that charge will stick.

Did he pay the $6? The man obviously did not complete the flip.

Maybe he should have pro-rated it and gave him $4.

Simple somersaults scared me to death. A backflip was out in the realm of total impossibility.

When I started lifting weights in high school, somersaults became easy.

When I was on the road circuit 40 years ago we used to pay/dare each other to do stupid tricks out of boredom. It could be anything from 8 chinups to 40 pushups to taking a second shower for no reason before the show. Everyone survived, though I did get hypothermia surfing in 52 degree water near Newport Beach somewhere.
