The story according to someone who's father coaches at the school.
Story:
So this actually happened in Texas at the HS my step dad coaches at. A little background: The kid jumping was high as hell and his friend who you briefly see mid video bet him $100 that he wouldn’t jump. The teacher on the first floor took alittle flak from what step dad said for saying and I quote “Get down from there.”. After jumping he was carried to the nurses office and his parents were called. He did not have insurance and his dad tried to make him go back to class. Unfortunately he ended up breaking both ankles and his right shin. So he wasn’t going back to class. Spent the rest of the year in a wheelchair and last I heard his buddy never gave him that $100.
Update Edit: Figured I’d add in a few details based on the comments. The teacher who yelled “Get down from there.” Was not in trouble. Just got a hard time from some of the other teachers the rest of that year for her choice of words. The kids dad wasn’t heartless by any means. Just wasn’t here working in the states legally and both couldn’t afford a 100k+ hospital bill/stay and was fearful of his and his families immigration status and or lack there of. Thus the hesitancy going immediately to the hospital. As far as how the kid is I have no idea. Step dad described him as someone who yell talked constantly, skipped school a lot to go smoke weed, and didn’t play any sports so past having him in the one class he taught he didn’t know much about him. He also did not return the following year of school, so I have no follow up or resolution to the story.
