People don't realize how dangerous this was. Slippery boards should be banned.

[@Trackreator]

must be banned

[@nontsikelelololwana9940]

Thank you I came from long jump today I cane first but ❤❤ I got hurt cause I slipped and hurt my heel😅😅😢

[@kodabo666]

As a long jumper, you can't really control if it's wet or slippery

[@knightpanic1931]

He fell in sand? Doesn’t seem that dangerous to me😂

[@eliasmuhammad7231]

True, the issue is that sometimes they're wooden or some other material than the track and the spikes don't dig into those boards like the rubber track; so it slips. They can hyper-extend knees terribly!

[@jz5005]

[@Anshelm77]

When I was watching this live, this happened just after someone asked in the chat why don't they jump head first to be more aerodynamic.

[@citrustaco]

The most aerodynamic is to do a full somersault. But that move has been banned.

[@soulistheanswer]

I always thought they had to land on their feet. Don’t they have to land on their feet?

[@thebattymuncher]

@@citrustacoboooooo

[@snapgab]

Like with a lot of these sports, athletes actually did use to do stuff like that, but then it was banned because apparently these sports are meant to always remain as boring as possible.

[@Odawgfrm310]

@@soulistheanswerNaw they don’t have to land on there feet that’s actaully more dangerous cause of the force you are applying to the ground when you land

[@Tommy29004]

He didnt mess up his jump, its cos the material after the board is now super slippery.

[@MrMonny]

it was a fowl though

[@thecsciworker291]

This has been a problem for decades, because it is a technical mishap. Otherwise everyone would be slipping if they fouled. It's due to the way he made contact with the board. You probably cant pick it up, but it's due to his heel making contact first, when trying to plant flat footed. Jump spikes, although they have a jagged sole, has had that sole being made with hard plastic instead of rubber for a little over a decade now (this is why it's advised not to jump in sprint spikes, because it's worse for them especially with no intentional gripping). When that spike makes contact with wood, if not done right, can lead to this. Like I pointed out earlier, it's been decades jumpers have had this problem because it's a technical problem. The material after the board has also always been...'movable' as well. It's called plasticine. A clay that allows for the spikes to make a visual indentation if there is a foul. It's not meant to have grip, which is why a small amount is used along facing edge. In fact, the material after the board is more irrelevant as it's just high contrast for camera's now, which detect the foul.

[@mikeejoh8993]

[@shadown1ghtmare795]

It style is already known and actually banned from the events, because the risks for the athlete are to high

[@frederickgibson8169]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@shadown1ghtmare795]

The technique where you basically do a front flip/land on your hands and roll of is literally forbidden and will get you disqualified, because of the danger it poses for the athletes, so no it’s probably not the future, which is for the better

[@bigbattenberg]

The somersault technique was a thing once but it was banned: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKq1ZXmHramir80

😂😂 Was like one of the baddies getting hit with a grenade in a Schwarzenegger movie.

[@Treehat]

He slipped on a plastic line I think. I'm pretty sure it used to be clay or plaster.

[@Jivvi]

It used to be aluminium, now it's a hardened synthetic material that's less slippery. The thin strip in the middle that shows whether they've fouled used to be clay; it's now plasticene.

[@luvSA511]

A slippery board is an easy problem to solve, but track administrators are fumbling as usual. Track administrators are the reason track is an unpopular sport. Track could be as popular as basketball if they would administer track properly.

[@ChessMasterNate]

I wish they just had a big board that registered the location and the jump is just measured from there. Why do we need all the fouling?

[@stevewise1656]

Never seen someone do that in my life.

[@jackle3002]

I think he put all that energy into a jump and it turned into a slip and jarred his leg so hard that he got launched into the air when his foot re-acquired grip. Would have been incredibly painful.

[@universalrun4705]

That's the famous long dive
