This actually happens relatively frequently in pole vaulting. Especially in when people don’t know what they’re doing. Not that I ever knew what I was doing, but I watched other people that knew what they were doing.
Actually, this one isn’t even that bad. It’s a lot worse when you plant the pole (heh) but don’t jump. All of that recoil just launches you backwards. Not that I ever did that or anything…
Yeah in retrospect I wasn’t a very good pole vaulter.
it would have been more fun if he slipped his hand from the pole, lands on the tip of the pole with his testicles and launched back at the starting point.
ouchh
“Well, the important thing is, you tried, son.”
The end was priceless. I thought he was just going to land on his feet, but then…. weeee!
Stretch! aaaand reverse!

You still win, pal.
Yeah, I did that once (or more), too. Not on television, though
And occasionally, someone loses a testicle doing that.
I think it’s a injury they refer to as ‘cauliflower bean bag’.
Why call it something so dark humor sounding? O:
Follow-up joke: Why make something so painful sound like an alcoholic beverage or a kinky sexual position?
Pole:GTFO!!
thats gotta hurt with a running thingy
On the other hand, he’s executed a perfect 3-point turn ^-^
Rofl…
In Soviet Russia, pole vaults YOU.
Pole Vaulters always make me feel better.
i could watch that all day
Negative pole is Negative
I’m surprised the pole didn’t snap.
…Why not let go while he was still over the mat? It seems a bit odd that he would keep hanging on after missing the jump. o.O?
I keep coming back to watch this. Pole says “You want over the bar? You want on the mat? Nah, go back where you came from”.
I guess it works both ways
Poles.
Bringing you the illusion of flight.
