never seen it before. sounds like something that could be real. the only thing that I found weird was that there where only 3 people in the audience. but besides that it is possible. I have never heard of that guy before either.

but when the spikes fell on him his face looked rubbery. look again. if its real, then thats really sad, but to me it looks too fake.

Hehehehe i was the one who Sold him the faulty safety lever

LOL.... That would suck if you did....

wow. and you made a whopping 39cents on it. good job. maybe it is real, but if it is then it is definitely a reenactment of it.

At 0:56 look at his head ... It's a Puppet Head Get Over it


This is a reenactment.

[mmagicmman96]

wow

boy,i'm gonna have nightmares:eek:


looks real to me

but who knows...........

[jenemagic]

so, what's the conclusion everybody? fake or a reenactment? i vote reenactment because it seems likely that an escape artist might die, but i dont know.

this was on the "faces of death" dvd

this was a true event...but the original tape was banned form live tv or anything....this was a reenactment.....it was obvious it was a dummy

[magicguy147]

it kinda did look like a reenactment with the head but thats pretty sad if its real

[ntroberts]

Cinematography and film quality alone betrays this as a movie/show. Closeup on the piano? Riiiight. Comments in the youtube page confirms this:

Yea, I remember watching this a while ago.

It always thought it was an re-enactment, and the fact that it is on YouTube, also clarifies it.

And you can kinda tell the audience has like barely any people.

Was there an original tape? Wow. I never knew that, that must be horrible.

[SenseiMan]

Just an FYI, you're not allowed to post people dying on Youtube.

[sonny]

Your funny....


I guess movie trailers for horror movies where people die aernt allowed on youtube.

Guess what? It is allowed.


Theres usually a warning where you have to be the age of 25+ to see it.

Please...

I think what SenseiMan means is that you cannot post REAL videos of REAL people dying.
Well, maybe you are allowed to post stuff of people dying, but it can't be too gory or anything, even if it is flagged, I don't think you can still post horrific stuff up.

YouTube is sensitive to this sort of stuff, since YouTube is like the most popular video site out there, they have to be kinda strict of what they let people upload so they can get more people coming in.

All the gory stuff can be found on sites like ToxicJunction and LiveLeak (not that I am promoting the sites at all).
