That was better than bubble wrap! I was afraid he was going to thud.

I was waiting to see a slow-mo gush of blood as the ice shards pierced the skin.

Wow, that was approximately 1647x cooler than I thought it’d be

Very, very cool. I wonder, though: once he lands, we can see that some of the edge springs are missing. Did they fail on this jump, or were they already gone? Either way, I’m not sure I’d have the minerals to jump on that thing…

Perhaps, if he gets any imitators. This winter, the Chicago area has had weather that is far closer to what I experienced as a kid. Low temps, lots of precipitation. Bet it makes for way sharper ice shards. But also a much cooler video.

But he jumped vertically, not horizontally.

And the trampoline is circular, so don’t expect it to take your side.

:thinking:

This is the Boss version of stomping on the frozen puddles on while walking to school
