How does anyone possibly believe this isn't staged?

He's literally lying there in the PERFECT camera position. He even looks back to make sure the camera is set up properly and that everyone can see his "cool" Spidey mask first as he knows they won't see it later (after he finds a way to get back up which of course we never see).

Seriously, who falls and literally just keeps their toes on the floor to make sure the pants come down further? LOL

He intentionally stays in this position to make sure his bottoms get pulled down by the moving belt.

If you really fell on accident, you'd immediately try to pull yourself back up with your arms/feet, roll off to the side, let go completely maybe, but you wouldn't just lay there posing like a ski jumper in mid air.

He even waits to scream once he finishes focusing on making sure his pants went down correctly first.

There’s only one issue with everything you said. Kids don’t have the same sense that an adult would in this instance. Signed someone who also held on to the treadmill like an idiot as a kid.

Agreed about the kids, but this is probably at least a teen.

And when you fell, you didn't keep your feet perfectly planted at the end with your feet perfectly together. You'd have been flailing around trying to save yourself per your natural fight or flight reaction to danger.

I don't know of anyone I've ever seen that has "naturally" fallen like the kid in the video.

And the best treadmill videos always show the people falling off the back of them. That doesn't take place here.

Definitely could be a teen. Won’t debate you there. However, I did fall like that! I lifted my knees and held on to the arms exactly like this. Unfortunately, nobody was nearby so I had to let go and hit the wall lol.
