I’m going to let you in on one of my deep, dark guilty-pleasure secrets: I love watching Jackass. While I didn’t watch the show faithfully, I did watch both movies which unleashed my inner, giggling 12 year-old boy. The rational side of me knows that I shouldn’t like what they do one bit and that other rational adults absolutely abhor what they do. But I can’t help it. I love ‘em.
Recently, Johnny Knoxville decided that he was going to attempt an Evel Keneval-style stunt by flipping a motorcycle backward in the air. Problem was, he didn’t really know what he was doing, let go of the bike mid-air which promptly landed on him-breaking the handlebar off in his crotch.
So today you guys get a 2-for-1:
Here’s a short and sweet clip of the crash itself (no sound).
Here’s a much longer clip of Johnny on the Jimmy Kimmel show discussing the accident, the actual accident shot from a different angle and imparting the joys of having a catheter.
I know, he’s an idiot.

Yeah, he’s an idiot alright. Funny, yes, but messing with that region of the body - NOT a good idea.
Steve O got locked up the other day, here’s a link to the story:

My husband subconsciously crosses his legs every time I talk about this video.
Knoxville maybe an idiot, but Steve-O DEFINITELY takes the cake!

Hey, I have been enjoying your blog. I can’t believe Johnny bailed like that and jeopardized his we little twins. He is lucky this accident did not leave him as a bi pod.
