Geek Week | Free Runner's Epic Fall at the British Museum with Head Squeeze

Geek Week is here and Head Squeeze have teamed up with the amazing parkour channel Flow, to bring to you a huge stunt. Blue Joseph jumps 10m, the same height as an Olympic diver, into a pool of 60,000 balls, whilst resident daredevil scientist Greg Foot unpacks the science of falling from a great height.

Greg Foot have just landed into #GeekWeek  - a ball pit looking #GeekWeek  - check out our awesome video where Paul 'Blue Devil' Joseph performed a world first: a gainer from 10m at British Museum 

What are you waiting for?!

To see the Easter egg, just click on the white space, type 1337 (not in the comments or in the search bar). Then, check the comments to see how they change.

Awwww I wish this could have come out last week! Last week I was a counselor at an educational camp, and the focus was on motion, energy, and beginner's physics. This video would've been perfect!

This has got to be the most interesting thing I've ever watched on Youtube. I'm used to watching stuff like music videos or gameplay with the ASDFs

Would it still work at terminal velocity? And if so, why do people die when they fall into the sea from aircraft?

Thanks for the info man! Would've been clueless on how to do this cool trick otherwise ^.^

[sammysalter]

yay! He actually acknowledged his current subscribers!

Where did you guys find so many plastic balls?

[BevaBanzai]

Thank you for putting the speed in km/h as well.

1 is supposed to be L, 3 is supposed to be E and 7 is supposed to be T. That spells Leet, which is apparently short for elite. It's pretty simple, really.

Good video.

But one mistake.
Viscosity is not how quickly substance gets out of the way, that is fluidity. Viscosity is how slowly it gets out of the way. I hope I was able to clarify the difference between the two.

that red and blue checkered dude is also on a discovery channel i saw. he says if swaring can help you stop pain.

[IamhumanSasquatch]

It's called leetspeak for a reason.
1337 is leetspeak for "leet", a permutation of the word "elite".

Poor staff geting rid of 60, 000 balls😂

[MoleComplains]

You have to click on the white background before you type it so it's not being typed into any boxes.

I somehow thought when Head Squeeze were looking for a Freerunner to do this, they actually had intentions on looking for Urban Freeflow.

[aulerius]

that's something you learn way earlier than high school

[harley]

Elite is shortened into 'lite', spelled 'leet' to stop confusion with 'lite'. 1 is the closest looking number to L, 3 to E and 7 to L.

Okay, cool, got it! Boy this would be fun messing with people ;)
