messengerWhy did that happen? Was he just not fast enough? The trampoline didn't bottom out, so it's not about how big he is.
lampishthingMight be that he didn't bend his knees at all. That he's big makes the vid but I think anybody who jumped like that would fail.>> ^messenger:

This happened because he wasted all his momentum by jumping akwardly onto the trampoline.
Notice the angle of his feet. It's actually much easier to see on this version.
TheSluiceGateWouldn't the tilt of the tramp make it harder? Killing your momentum?
messengerIf someone hit a trampoline and maintained their running speed and direction but added lift on top of that, they'd smash straight into the rim. The tilt of the tramp redirects your force upwards so you have the height and time for a tricky dunk while keeping your teeth in your head.>> ^TheSluiceGate:

messenger@Shepppard Your first description was right on. He slows down, stutter-steps and jumps on the ground before he hits the trampoline.

If something is deserving to be quoted out of context, this is it.
shagen454That is the most graceful fail ever.
eric3579He seriously committed to that dunk.
VidRothsays...Not a whole lot of physics necessary. The angle doesn't matter, because most healthy people are only a few inches short of a dunk attempt anyway, so about a foot of lift is probably enough.
I think the biggest thing is to look at his... "jump." At a glance, it looks like his whole jump consists of lifting his feet off the ground at the same time, not of actually getting any elevation for his torso, lol. That makes his trampoline jump not a lot better than standing on the trampoline and jumping.
lurgeeDoh!

Oh yeah, props for going for it =)
