 Number 21 I think was the worse but we don't know how far down the cliff they went. But yeah, 17 looked like it hurt the most.

 I'm always watching sound off (less viewing trauma). But it was #3 ... until #17.

Also amazes that folks are willing to chuck themselves off of drops with no plan. Blank Stare

 Yeah there were a few skilled riders attempting really hard stuff this week- no shame in failing, I wouldn't come close to trying some of these. What I don't get, though- there were also an awful lot of people with no real chance of success- riding features way over their skill level. Did they think they would just figure it out in the air? Seems like a hard way to learn.

 @dcaf: Precisely, there's a difference between a good ole college try, and magical thinking.

 Get double-bounced on a trampoline while pushing back against it with your legs: go high, under control.
Get double-bounded on a trampoline and let the mat buckle your legs: don't go high, out of control.
Go off a jump while pushing back against it with your legs: go high, under control.
Go off a jump and let it buckle your legs: don't go high, out of control, end up on Friday Fails.

 Its really just a toss up of 15-19... the noises some of those guys make are bone chilling.

 Does anyone know what the outcome of 17 was? Looked like a collarbone and possibly a few ribs. Hope they’re ok

 I think #6 broke his steerer tube off and #15 had a tubeless tire blow off and wrap up the front wheel. Yikes! Lot's of jacked collar bones and hawged out shoulder joints in this batch.

 A lot of people locking up on their bikes and letting go of the bars today.

 The brake squeak in #14 provides the perfect sad trombone effect.

 Did 13 say "good save" or is that a foreign language coincidence and it just sounded like that's what he said?

 15 looks like we was trying to role-play as a SpaceX rocket and escape the atmosphere.

 Maybe we should all get together and sign #17s body cast...

 Does anyone else feels it’s a touch ironic that two stories about paralyzed free riders are published on the same day as Friday Fails?

Insensitive or just poor timing ….
