DEAD FOR BREAK DANCING

During a musical festival in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, on 22/12/2018, a young man known as "Internet Japonais" dies on stage while trying to perform a dance step called "Roukass kass": a kind of local break dance.

The step consisted of making a jump and land on the head after the jump by pressing on the hands beforehand.

The young man will not appreciate the landing on his hands well. As a result, he breaks his neck and dies on the spot in front of a dumbfounded audience.

A dance move that results in a broken neck? Sounds like a winner to me. Thanks!
