Good music... poor acting of stuntmen hahaha. Seriously though, it's pretty clear why they call Parcour an extreme sport now.

I doubt any of those people actually died, but having those pains must have been extreme,

Actually, you're right, it's even more painful that they managed to get these accidents on tape hehehe... Parcour is nice, but some jumps they did should never have been done by them, skill or no skill... you really don't want to fail some of those jumps.

what I dont understand is why they were doing it so sloppy, parcour requires a lot more focusing and a lot of them, I dont even think were doing parcour, I think they were just trying to look cool, some of them were(you could tell because a couple "did" precisions, but most of them I think were just messing around.

Agree here with lostclimate. Although the scary thing is not the pain itself, but the injuries

of course thats the case here, but still, thats a good show what can happen , too.. thats what i was looking for. before i looked those cool parcour videos, showcasing some profs, and afterwards, i thought, hey, search for parcour accidents and there you go...

many of those kids could be lucky if they can still watch their own accidents

Ouch indeed
I've read through some of the comments on that video and it seems that the person on 2:28 died, pretty sinister if you watch it again and knowing that he died

Cheers

they are tough: http://youtube.com/watch?v=b4Rsr-IItPM&feature=related

i have also watched some skating videos. it's insane how easily you can break something when sliding down rails and such things. is this really worth it?

Those are not tough, those are extremely well trained. As you can see in the slow motion, they use their body to absorb the crash, but can still walk away practically "unhurt". (such a fall must hurt )

That one has been on tv, he got chased by police and people say it was a escape attempt that turned into a 'suicide'. I'm pretty sure he made the jump in a hurry and that he didn't practice parcour.

Still I can definitely imagine a Parcour guy trying the exact same jump, get overconfident and not make it.

I do know that this guy didn't survive that fall though,

Cheers
