Halftime Olympic Stunt Dunk Ends in Epic Fail

This is why most of us were not given the ability to naturally soar through the air and throw down monster dunks: We simply do not know how to handle that sort of power. Case in point is this guy, who was seeking alternate means of being able to soar like Dwight Howard during halftime of the Australia vs. Croatia game in Beijing. Getting in the air is the easy part; it’s the landed we gotta work on:

I’d love to tell you that the dude is just fine, but I have no clue as to his current condition. If nothing else, it’s encouraging that he was at least able to roll off under his own power.
