Shocking footage from Umlazi, South Africa shows a local bodybuilder named Sifiso Lungelo Thabete failing during a backflip attempt at a local bodybuilding contest.

The video of the 23-year-old Thabathe shows the young athlete trying to perform a backflip in an attempt to entertain the audience. The attempt, however, went horribly wrong when Thabathe could not spin the flip fully and landed on the back of his head.
Bodybuilding has truly become dangerous after TWO bodybuilders have died this week.

That's because bodybuilding does not equal gymnastics. Stupid for him to have tried that stunt, especially using forward momentum to do a backwards flip. You'd never see that in gymnastics/acrobatics competition because it isn't physically possible.

That wasn't even close. I wonder what made him think he could pull that off?

It's a signature move of his. He has performed backflips in the past with success.

Ok fine I'll take your bait this time, and this time only. What does backflipping have to do with the dangers of bodybuilding?
