An uncredited video of a backflip gone wrong went viral on Twitter two weeks ago, garnering more than 170,000 likes. In it, a man in stilettos tries to backflip, but when his heels make contact with the ground again, his body crumbles into gooey, fleshy chunks.

It’s unsettling, disgusting, and absolutely mesmerizing to watch.

The original video is a collaboration between Shutter Authority, an Instagram account run by VFX artist Raghav Anil Kumar, and stunt YouTuber Jiemba Sands.


“Watching a person break apart into pieces is certainly going to be horrifying,” Anil Kumar said in an Instagram DM to Mashable. “But the way the pieces fall apart is more cartoony, much like the stuff we’ve seen in Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry.”

Anil Kumar noted that Sands’ content is usually surprising, like when he gracefully trips over a log or falls off a tree branch, but still ends up on his feet.
