    It’s not about the extra height , they do this so they can land their backflip within the boundaries, so a circle will literally do the same thing.

    Thinking more if it had gone through any arteries pain is secondary to bleeding to death, besides could also snag a few nerves increase loss of function then the damage already there.

    Spike acts as a barrier sure it impedes blood flow which can be just as dangerous but damn its a massive gamble to yank it.

    Hospital care may be limited to none but at the least you get a better chance.

    But you don't need to walk on those and they don't have nearly as many nerve endings.
    Sure, getting jabbed in any of those is more likely to kill you, but the foot will cause you more physical pain long-term.

    With that said, I can't say I've ever been stabbed in the lung of a kidney, so maybe I'm wrong.

    Humans really suck at weighing pros and cons of a situation…

    Pros: Dude lands a backflip inside a ring of spikes and gets it on film to brag to his friends and maybe get a couple hundred views online, at very best makes like $50 in ad revenue from millions of shorts/tiktok views.

    Cons: Dude gets impaled by the spikes and at best it’s not in a spot that will kill him.
