I was there for the Rhode Island incident, when the acrobats hanging by their hair fell. Took my little sister and we had front row seats. I remember the audience had no idea what happened at first. We thought the drop was part of the act. Then they turned the lights off and asked us not to leave our seats. The circus staff was great and sent clowns into the audience to distract the kids while the ambulances did their thing. Between the circus, meeting a clown, and getting to see an ambulance, my sister thought it was the best day ever.
Wow, that’s actually awesome that they were able to handle it without traumatizing every kid in the room lol
lol
I always think of the audience and the trauma they'll face later. It's good they distracted the kids at least they're fine
I’m from RI too and I remember hearing about this! That must have been so scary!
Yeah we tend to have protocols for such things it's not rare esp with acts of that caliber.
The psychological torture and trauma orcas go through in captivity is utterly abhorrent. It's telling that, in captivity, there have been multiple fatal attacks, while a human being has never been harmed by one in the wild. These highly intelligent and social animals basically lose their minds in places like SeaWorld from the horrors they endure for decades at our hands.
They even kill themselves. So tragic. And all of that just for our pleasure.
Amen!! The only vicious animal is a human, we do unthinkable things to animals and one another. No other animal even comes close to the humans deprevity
There actually has been a recorded orca attack in the 70’s, I know cause I saw a video of a girl talking about it. The guy was on his surfboard when the orca thought he was a seal, he needed at least 100 stitches but overall was fine.
@@tatumespino6705but it didn’t go after him because he was a human! Typically animals stay away from us don’t they
Not all of them are treated horribly
The fact that Seaworld didn’t stop orca acts not just for the sake of the orcas but also for the trainers is unforgivable. The fact that they didn’t immediately give up and decide it was too dangerous for trainers and too stressful for the animals after the first incident is downright disgusting.
I just say blackfish.
They been hanging on to their money since the 70s. Knowing very well from the very beginning and always looking for an excuse
yes Orcas are vicious
No Orcas are NOT vicious. They never attack humans in the wild.
In captivity? They will at one point because those mini puddles are NO way to keep them. It is tge equivalent of living in Harry Potters closet.
this, 100%, wild animals need to be respected and not used as props like that to begin with, then the stress of captivity on top of that....ugh.
The guy in the last clip was released from the hospital with no injuries. His name is Ben Garnham, and it was his first visit to the circus. He was expecting some silly clown shenanigans, not a backflip stunt, which he was unprepared for. He’s actually not mad at the clown, who he spoke to later on about the incident. He’s more upset about being carried like that after being knocked out.
Not surprisingly, the circus is discontinuing that part of the show.
dude's a trooper
Thank goodness. I'm a sideshow performer, and that looked brutal.
Dude is a legend for not getting mad at the clown
I cant believe the emt/ security guy let him be folded and shaken up like that right after being dropped, if he had any neck/ back injury or even concussion that would be brutal
I love how proud Mike is when he gets the mechanism of injury right, almost like he is a doctor
Lmao good one
He’s so good at guessing the injury that he made being a doctor part of his marketing
Jokes aside, I imagine it's got to feel good to reaffirm that if this was his patient he'd have been able to correctly diagnose them/look in the right places for injury. Plus providing more evidence to the internet that he's more than just some hot guy on the internet, and does actually know things cause, you know, he is actually a doctor!
He is😂😂
In the Ken Peters incident, they cite his survival to the fact that he was an experienced free diver, so every time he came up he was able to breathe efficiently and keep his heart rate down throughout the entire situation (she dragged him down far more than two times, to the bottom of the tank, for longer each dive.) Petes got out because he coincidentally had unrelated hobbies. Terrifying.
I would say free diving is a very much related hobby, otherwise yeah that definitely saved him
OMG I was terrified he didn't make it! Thanks for sharing how it ended.
@@LubnaSiddiqNot only did he make it, but he became a fierce advocate for orcas after his time as a trainer. In the documentary, Blackfish, he explains that the majority of orca trainers have very, very little experience if at all before they’re slapped onto an orca. He turned out to be a pretty amazing dude
It's almost as if the orca was just fighting its own instincts to pull the guy down
His having confidence in the water and having trained his body to be under for long periods absolutely saved his life.
The group high wire fall is a classic example of experience causing safety complacency. A less experienced tightrope walker would request a safety net because they aren’t very confident in what they are doing and are more afraid of the danger, while the experienced tightrope walker has done it so many times that they think they couldn’t possibly make a mistake.
inclined to think the same for the hair hanging.if they're an established group doing their own rigging they're probably a little lax on how often they switch out their carabiners, i.e. 'oh yeah, that's pushing the 10% wear threshold but we're probably fine' and nobody bothering to disagree. Also they're professionals and it's a fixed, indoor attachment point, they really have no excuse to be using aluminum over steel.
you see it a lot with horse riders and helmet wearing
@@ciara2837I’m glad someone else mentioned equestrians 💚
The Chinese say "It is the strong swimmer who most often drowns." It is because the strong swimmer overestimates his abilities and underestimates the strength of the river.
Only being able to read the minds of hypothetical people must be annoying.
5:50 - One thing that wasn't commented on was that there were TWO of them circling around inside that frame. Once the one crashed at the bottom and caught fire, that leaves the other one stuck circling because the only way down/out is blocked by the accident. How scary is THAT?! He's got to keep going full tilt until the fire is out and probably the other bike is cleared out.
He did exactly what he was supposed to to protect the other rider, himself, and the rescue crews. At least he’s used to it, and going in an equatorial circle is pretty easy for them.
@@evilsharkey8954 - Yes, I know he did what he was supposed to do. But, he had to do it under such upsetting circumstances. He had to stay focused and as calm as possible while hoping that his counterpart/friend/family member (maybe?) is going to be all right. That couldn't have been easy.
@@cmtippens9209 Once the bike burst into flames, he must have been horrified for the other guy. I hope they wear fire resistant suits like race car drivers.
@@cmtippens9209
I thought of that too. Must have been horrifying.
i hate to say this but my heart absolutely shattered when you see the fire burst out into flames and you can see the guy in the VERY HOT METAL frame trying to get out and you can see him. i just. i feel awful and i wonder if he survived…
I love how Mike didn't blame anyone for doing those stunts or taking risks, but did get upset when they carried away the volunteer. The reaction to the accident does matter so much for him, and indeed outcomes depend on that reaction
I was front row at a cirque de sole when the two men on lines were swinging out wider each time and on one epic round the guy slammed right into the metal tower that they use to climb up to the trapeze. My heart was just oh no. Medics ran over, he eventually stoop up and gave a thumbs up that he was ok.
THEN GOT BACK UP ON THE LINE TO FINISH.
What a chad
@@joel784 More like what an idiot
Next, it's time for the horrors of amusement parks!
I have had my face smashed in a waterslide, bruised my entire right side of the torso on a spinning ride, nearly been thrown out of a ride, and watch several people get injured in a simulator...
Lol
I really thought I was going to fly off a waterslide at a turn. I'm too fat so I guess I built up too much momentum. I love amusement parks but I won't go until I lose the weight.
He could do an entire video on just Action Park
@@danieltaube7566Action Park more like Class Action Lawsuit
Maybe stop going to amusement parks
I’m so glad you covered both shamu and kastka. Seaworld are the problem. The last straw of trainers being in the water was dawn. Orcas are so extremely intelligent and the fact that they are treated like this are disgusting. there are videos of them smashing their heads into the wall. Truly disturbing and sad to see them suffering in captivity.
The fact that we have all been made complicit in the abuse of orcas and dolphins as children. We were brainwashed in to thinking imprisoning and exploiting these animals was ok.
Seaworld is not the problem people who think they are need to get some sense put in there head
@@lyd4610Who is the problem then? Because they were the ones ordering and paying for it to happen, and were the ones to continue doing it even after it went wrong.
@@GogiRegion there not abuses three orcas
@@lyd4610 They are definetly the problem, but since I already wrote a comment answering why I'll just paste it here, though somehow I get the feeling you won't read it all
With the Orcas there's a couple things people need to understand. There's three types of animals that do not do well in captivity: those whose lives consist of migrating large distances constantly, those who are highly intelligent, and those who are highly sociable...Orcas are one of few species who are all three alongside elephants.
The second thing is that places like SeaWorld are NOT conservation projects, they are NOT rehabilitation centers, they are NOT breeding centers either, however they ARE amusement parks which means their main motication is making money and that means skimping on adequate enclosures, enrichment and food for the animals and also skimping on having actual cientists watching over the animals and instead having underprepared students/regular people with lackluster training in charge of highly intelligent animals, which leads to abuse and a lot of stress put on them...which then leads to the animals going mad and snapping seemingly "out of nowhere" and when a highly intelligent species snaps it is never pretty
Acrobatics and stunt work can be extremely dangerous. I remember Cirque du Soleil changing their rules on safety lines and netting after a fatality and numerous injuries.
Those orca videos were in Blackfish. The documentary that took down sea world and devastated the act of using marine life for shows.
It is tough to watch, but when he explains everything, it gives me relief because he’s a doctor. Does anyone else feel that way?
That last one was horrible, why the hell did they pick him up! You see someone lying there like that and not being consious or not responding well, you call 911! This made it so much worse!
My guess is ironically in hopes of avoiding a lawsuit. They needed to get that guy out of there to whatever quack doctor they might’ve had backstage. So some rep could come out and say he was fine. That they grabbed him to carry him out without even checking on his condition or calling 911 screams that show is a traveling tent full of all kinds of violations.
Uranus is next !
I'm always grateful when a circus performer uses a safety harness or net as a backup in case of a fall. Barnum and Bailey circus came through recently and they had nets underneath the trapeze performers and they don't use animals anymore.
Having safety in place doesn't make the act any less difficult or impressive. It should always be a priority when possible.
I went to see the recently. I was happy to see the safety equipment, but rather sad about no animals. Some animals do seem to enjoy performing tricks (dogs and horses).
Nets are mandatory for trapeze above certain highs nowadays the also have a side wire with a person holding it trained to do so or just to the side of the trapeze depending on the act.
A good show will keep your eyes above the net, anyway. Plus, some of those nets are practically invisible when the lighting is done right.
Yep! I saw Ringling barnum and bailey twice when they last came through, and my first thought on the highwire incident was "where's the safety net?" And the motorcycle ball was not diminished by not having freaking firecrackers on the bikes. This was their last run using animals, but fun fact: their elephants are all now living at a sanctuary started years ago by the circus.
It will never cease to astound me on both how delicate the human body is, and, conversely, how durable it is.
TRUUUUUUEEEE 100%
I always appreciate when Dr. Mike addresses that people may need emotional therapy after serious injuries to go with the physical therapy. Especially in situations like these where the patient is definitely going to put themselves back into a position where they could injure themselves again.
The FMX rider at 6:15 actually got his start in my hometown. We all were devastated to see his accident and glad that he made it out okay!
Man the fact that most circus professionals survived the injury is surprising to me
I’m sure these are just the cases that miraculously weren’t fatal. I’m 100% certain the list of deaths attributed to circuses is as long as a freight train.
yea pretty sure they chose non-lethal ones to make it more palatable to a wider audience. try searching for FATAL circus accidents if you prefer that kind of video.
They are likely also mentally and physically prepared for the worst whenever they are doing the dangerous stuff. After doing it for so long they had to have had other (though maybe less severe) accidents and their bodies probably instinctively react in ways that keep them safer- hold your breath and relax your body if an animal is dragging you underwater, tuck your chin to your chest if you’re falling backwards to try to prevent concussion, etc.
It may seem like a goofy job, but we really got to give those people respect for what they have to go through
You don’t get to that level without experiencing more than a few falls, so you’d quickly learn how to minimise the damage when possible… or quit.
As a professional circus artist currently out with a back injury… this video was amazingly painful to watch lol
I hope you’re on the mend soon!
Are you with CdS?
Get well soon buddy!
Hope you feel better. I had a back injury and it never went 100% normal again, even after 12 years. I get very bad pain if I vacuum or do laundry from bending and lifting. Physical Therapy is hard but you get better long-term results.
Hope you're mending up well, ouch! May I ask what epic thing you were doing that caused you to get injured?
Well I didn’t watch most of this. I was mostly covering my mouth and eyes at the sight of the injuries. I am now convinced that the circus is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world
edit: I meant to put mouth and eyes, but stupid auto correction and there was no need for correction on it
I mean well uh
yeah, a lot of people don't realize how dangerous it is - so many professionals, so much practice and skill, and yet these accidents can still happen. I have so much respect for those people.
Less impressive and safer than lumberjack, mining, oil rigging, farming and construction.
@@chrishughes3405being a circus performer is less impressive that those jobs? What?
@@kazu9445 I suspect they're one of those people who don't see entertainment as "real job".
Ann wasn't a trainer - she was a model that they hired for a special event. More of the incident is shown in the movie Blackfish. It also shows/discusses the event with Ken. John Hargrove's book (he was a former elite Orca trainer for Seaworld and he's in the movie too) is very good. It's called Beneath the Surface.
She was a SeaWorld employee but not a trainer
9:15
"Where's the dumpster?"
"Outside, just around the corner"
"Ok, go go go... nobody's looking"
Goodness! My late Daddy (lost him to cancer in 2007) always loved the circus. He always took us to Barnum and Bailey Circus when it was in town. ❤
I hope you’re okay ❤😢
@@Swif13andLivie4lifethank you ❤
@@cammiemr5172sorry for your loss, dawg. Hope your ok.
It looked like an attempted assisted backflip for the last clip, but both the flipper and the assistant didn't know what they were doing. You barely need to do any lifting as the assistant, you just guide their legs over your shoulder, but the flipper splayed out, making his legs go over the guys face, and the guy didn't know to just move out of the way once the flipper's head was out from under to not be injured. Following that with a terrible carry was just a perfect video of what not to do.
Thank you! I was looking for a comment about the last clip. Most of them are just about the orcas or personal experience.
It was very chaotic and uncomfortable to look at... I wasn't even sure who was supposed to lift whom🤷♀
Sth like that shouldn't be allowed with an audience member without any safety ropes and/or those 5cm high mats you use in gym class at school... They're not soft, but at least cushion the fall a little better than the hard ground.
Dunno what was attempted but that guy literally broke a very major law for the circus actors(well used to have laws nowadays dunno),whatever the case you don't do things like that wth volunteers.
Not just the terrible carry, but the lifting to seating right after the flip because of the possibility of a neck injury. Unless the whole thing of him being ‘knocked’ out was an act. But if not, the whole thing was really bad.
The way Doctor Mile was just predicting every injury 😂😂
He looked so proud of himself
It's so enjoyable to watch his boyish curiosity and competitiveness in action.
Now we need Doctor Kilometer
@@joel784 probably a Dr. Yard too

@@H0N4M11 🗿
I must say I have learned and kept more things from Dr. Mike in one day than any other video in one day
i feel really bad for everyone who was in these accidents but im really impressed how mike was so good at diagnosing after afew seconds
My doctor used to work at Sea World with the orcas. He comes out on the Black Fish documentary, Dr. Robert Ventre is his name. Every time I have an appointment with him I ask him to tell me stories about SeaWorld
L-IAR
I have mad respect for these people, putting their life on the line for our entertainment
Watching Doctor Mike, as he knows which part of the body was injured in an accident amazes, impressed me. It's amazing how much he knows, even though he hasn't just learned them. Also, I think you learn a lot of things in med school, it's amazing to me that Mike only recognizes them by sight (and what could have been damaged). I want to be like that, that's all there is to know, maybe I'm going to med school. Thanks Doctor Mike! Also that you put on subtitles, so I can learn English, too, and I can write a comment like this. Keep it up! ❤️❤️❤️
Fun fact, the hair hanging act is pretty much THE rigging disaster that is used in theater to show how important using the correct equipment and daily inspections are
I hope these people can recover fast, even tho I wasn’t able to watch the entirety of this video bc I can’t stand people getting hurt.godd bless you guys.
1:58 I’m so amazed of how well dr mike could tell what kinds of damages the person got
He’s a doctor… 😂
There was a tv show that used be to aired on TV called Scarred. It covered injuries from extreme sports like skateboarding, rollerblading, bmx, etc. I’d love to see your reaction to those injuries.
Oh my god such a good idea
i would be horrified if i saw that stuff at the circus
It’s why I don’t go. Too many safety issues.
You probably wouldn't like the movie Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
anyone would bud-
I would be terrified being at a circus. I don't understand who these things still exist.
It’s even worse to see accidents at an air show. 😢
Love how it goes from "he hit his head" to "DECAPITATION!", haha. Would love to have Doctor Mike as a consultant while making a particularly violent video game.
Hi Dr.Mike, I have a cold (or the flu) and needed some advice.
Here are a list of symptoms.
• Headaches.
• sore throat.
• runny nose.
• the shakes.
• feeling too warm or cold.
• overly sweating.
• stuffed nose (sometimes)
(edit: I also do get fatigued, that's about as normal as it can be with the cold or flu.)
4:47 Speaking of the strength of hair, they tested it on Mythbusters, they were testing alledged prison escapes, Kari made a rope out of hair and was successfully able to use it to climb down the side of a 3 story building. Just FYI, the other two: Grant used bed sheets and succeeded, Tori used toilet paper, his ripped and broke when he got to about a foot off the ground but he landed on his feet and it wasn't that high so they said "close enough".
9:00 That sort of looks like a professional wrestling move called the Spanish Fly, in that move, they hook up facing in opposite directions, and simulatenously flip, one doing a forward roll, the other doing a backflip, difficult to pull off and very dangerous.
The killer whale incidents are very controversial, there's a documentary film called Blackfish that talks about the effects being in captivity has on orcas, There was one in particular that attacked several other orcas and killed 3 trainers. SeaWorld in particular has taken a lot of criticism for it and has been losing millions for years due to the backlash. They were talking about ending the orca program and shows at their parks, but seems like they've flip flopped on that. Several states have banned having orcas in captivity now though.
That was Tilikum. He was present with some other orcas in the first fatality, then had some stoned weirdo sneak into his tank at night in the second incident (who wouldn’t react poorly to a stoned stranger sneaking into their bedroom at night), and then the last happened during a show and really brought the issue of orca shows to public attention m. He was one messed up orca. He’d been captured from the wild, so he knew what he was missing.
The Mythbusters thing is so cool! thanks for sharing!
I used to work in the circus and our human canon also missed his net. He landed on the ring boxes. He definitely had a broken arm and I think a broken leg but no major injuries. Still scary though!
how is a broken leg not major???? 😒
@@YorkshireInsight26 in terms of what could have happened a broken leg is absolutely nothing major
@@TerriWhyton what are ring boxes?
@@V00doo1Xim they are boxes that basically outline the ring (the circular area where artists perform)
That last act was sooo negligible, you could tell the poor guy regretted it as soon as he volunteered and god knows what the other guy was going to do to him? 😮
Exactly and why would he need someone to help him do a simple backflip. The proper way to spot is not to hang on to someone but a trainer holds there arm out and as one jumps up and back the momentum carries them. If one has trouble with the carry through of the legs then the spotter will assist in pushing them over quickly and react if they notice something, in fact belts with ropes are used for the young with one person on each side until eventually like training wheels they are let loose.
@@ninner196 Well I'm not sure about that I wouldn't know? But backflips aren't simple for everyone. I could never do one, neither would I want to!
@@ninner196 he wasn't trying to do a backflip... Stop assuming you know everything...
@@BrianMurfitt it’s true. But once one learns them then it becomes like riding a bike but this is definitely not how I would want to learn either, but hey, maybe their beer was good idk.
On the last one if you don't have a backboard how should you carry them? Bridal style or a different style?
The inccidents with the ORCAS (they are no Killer Whales, I hate that name) Reminiszenz me of the documentary Blackfish. I love animals so much, that it is unbelievable how much they get traumatized for our entertainment
7:30 YES! Doctor Mike you have a lot of influence….you could do something about raising awareness about not supporting shows that make wild animals do performative shows. Let wild animals stay wild. If we have captive wild animals don’t use them for entertainment by riding them or making them do uncomfortable tricks. Show how they can learn with positive reinforcement to do things they might naturally do in the wild without having to ride them. Make their habitat as similar as possible to what they live in in the wild. Things like that. Some animals are injured and can’t survive in the wild so can’t be released, but that doesn’t mean we need to force unnatural things, like a person riding on or swimming with them
Since yesterday I found Dr Mike.. now i’m just binge watching him. He is so funny and informative that its also cool to see
For me: since few weeks. And I am totally addicted. 😀
I highly recommend checking Doctor Jordan on his official YT channel Doctor ER as well as Gamology where he does medical reactions to injuries from videos game such as Mortal Kombat and Sniper.
@@SoundwaveX7 Thanks! I will check it out ;)
"thirstae for BTS" has me rolling 😭
Holy C.... great video Dr. MIKE but I had a serious goosebumps on my arms all the way . Big respect for all of them making us entertain but still so scary. 😮 Happy and "no injuries " Sunday Everyone. ❤
Circus acrobat here! 🙋🏽♂️ So far ACL tear, flipped meniscus, broken foot, and Spondylolysis/stress fracture in the lower back. ✌️❤🎪 🤸🏻♂️
new sub bc the channel actually shows what i wanna see, i used to watch car wreck videos and they cut the best parts
It’s scary to know that flip that the two guys did at 8:47 I had to do in my high school pe class with no mats
💙💙💙 *TY FOR SAYING DOING “TRICKS” WITH ANIMALS ESPECIALLY WILD PREDATORS IS UNNECESSARY. FRUSTRATING AND MISTREATING THEM. IT WOULDNT COME TO MIND TO RIDE A SHARK OR A LION*
Dolphins like bottle noses are so much worse then orcas
I agree. But its fascinating that there is no documented attack of wild living orcas or dolphins. Only those held in captivity attack humans. I wonder why 🤦♀️
I sincerely can't help but cheer for the whale.
@@Lisa_Harlow There are quite a few documentaries on TH-cam that explain it, one that gets mentioned quite often is blackfish.
If I had to explain it I would say:
Imagine you're on a covid isolation with your partner. Normally you're probably both at work or not something but in Isolation you can't go to work you're basically captive in a very small bubble with at least on person that intrudes on that space. Both of you would go crazy and be angry and everyone and everything.
Imagine you're a Orca, the biggest killing machine in the wide wide ocean, then you got kidnapped stuffed into a small pond with little to no outlet for your energy, your drive. But then a human comes and wants to do tricks with you. The rest is written in history.
Those orcas are severely different than their freely living comrades. They get abused, beaten, starved, dumbed down of course they would act like they do.

Hey, I just wrote a very large essay on blackfish and why keeping orcas in captivity is bad last week!
the fact you watched the injury happen and then successfully called out all the injuries bar the deflated lung. Incredibly smart
I already get so anxious at circuses i would be screaming if i witnessed these lol
I've never been to see a circus, but I think I'd be anxious too!
Love ur videos! Always learn something new!
8:30 I was in this circus, but at a different show. They invited people to the stage, but nothing bad happened.
Was it cirque du soleil?
what i want to point out is that the guy driving the motor bike in 5:49 that didn't catch fire managed to stay calm throughout this situation. It would have been so easy for him to freak out, lose control of the bike, and land on the other guy. credit to him
Most circus actors when going for their acts esp. extream ones have multiple plans for worst case scenarios going through their head,they tend to expect the worst and some of the first training you get is psychological,used to be ppl got filtered from the circus for not being able to keep calm in stressful scenarios.
i dont remember it that well as i was quite young, but i once went on a field trip to the circus. it was my first and only time ever going to a circus. and all i remember of that day was one of the clowns slipping and hurting himself during an act (i forget how), and the audience thought it was part of the act but then he was carried away on a stretcher and there was an ambulance outside. idk i think about it a lot lmao
Love your stuff Mike, keep going.
7:49 There is a documentary called blackfish that I have watched in school before and its about all the incidents to do with orcas drowning and torturing the trainers.
I had my med school entrance exam today, and unfortunately didn't do great.
Idk why but Dr. Mike's videos give me motivation to not give up!
(Ps, i just needed 50 more points to get into med school, thats around 12 more questions that i had to get right.... So I'm pretty demotivated.)
But I won't give up! I really want to be a doctor who educates and helps other hooman beings. I feel like thats my only purpose in life.
Sooo yeah, I will give the test again, next year, and I will ace it!!
You can do it!
Good Luck^^
Could you do a video on Crohns Disease and the problems diagnosing it with blood tests?
I have Crohns and I struggle to explain my condition to a lot of people around me. I also struggle to explain why it took so long for me to be diagnosed.
As someone who starts youngs horses it's a key part of my job and especially of learning to start young hirses under saddle that if you do get bucked off, if your physically capable you ahve to get back on. For the sake of yourself to prevent prolonged fear as well as for the benefit to the horse and their progress and helping then overcome fear as well. So it is impressive when people are able to get back onto a bike or back into a sport or an act asap because it takes guts to do so but also prevents prolonged fear. But for who start young hirses and train hirses it's a necessary part of the job. That'd why many people don't do train horses. Because one incident occurs and they lose confidence. Another part of this is that horsemanship knowledge and experience helps to prevent wrecks for the horse and the trainer. It helps the horse get confident and overcome fear. But it also allows the trainer to properly assess when a young horse is ready for their first rides allowing the opportunity to not be fearful and therefore not feeling the need to react by bucking or bolting or rearing. Knowledge and experience prevents wrecks (not by 100% of course) and ensure increased safety. And a lot of that is proper assessment and judgment abilities.
Nothing better than waking up and seeing Dr. Mike posted a new video
Who’s with me?
👇🏽
For me it´s dinner time. 😀 I always watch something during dinner.
I hope they are ok and doing better❤
It's fun catching the videos early and watching the numbers just sky rocket!! Awesome videos man!!
We did a case study about sea world and orcas and animals and we had to watch a documentary about it, it was horrifying.
I almost got a concussion at work when I was trying to adjust a rug that was leaning against a pallet and had started to slip down but I lost my footing and tripped and fell backwards on the hard cement floor.
Thankfully my side/back bore the brunt of the fall so my head didn’t hit the concrete as hard but it was very close and I still got a medical assessment through the injury triage company we use at work just to be safe because I was a little dazed by what happened but at least I never lost consciousness.
I’m so happy Seaworld is on their last generation of orcas. After reading other comments it’s made me happy that Seaworld is undergoing change.
I wish they would rehabilitate & release the remaining orcas. Many were born wild, their pods could be located for attempts at reuniting them
Never been so early
Me neither
Me either
Same
Me neither
same
I’m so sensitive to this type of stuff that I got on, liked and left💀💀
Now I wanna watch it💀
@@SnCFAN650 I sometimes scroll to the comments and then just do audio of him commenting. The visuals can be pretty bad but not always so depends how I feel, don't care or care too much
it might comfort you to know that none of the people portrayed died and they made a recovery !
@@RESURGAM. Thank you! much appreciated
Personally, not watching doctor Mike in a while it made me so happy to know that he still says beewoop 😂😂❤
Hi Mike.
You should read the latest studies regarding C-Spine collars - they're very soon to be taken out of pre-hospital practice in the UK as there is growing evidence that more damage is caused by fitting them. We're using less invasive methods, orthopaedic stretcher and head blocks, to prevent further injury.
And back boards are so out of date they're known to cause significant harm through sores and pressure in the wrong places.
I know you're a family medicine Doctor, but you might find this interesting.
Doctor Mike your the best doctor I’ve ever ever seen I always tell my family facts about u and your very funny kind smart and humble keep doing what you do
I remember being at a circus, and they’re hole advertising plot is just a tri flip in the air. Went in. Got to the end, were she was going to do it.
She failed and fell three times before giving up. (She’s fine, there was a net a few feet below her for when she fell)
4:30 Mike be sounding like the “oh my go-od” meme💀
4:01 😢😢😢 i can’t even imagine what that must feel like it would be just agonizing
How can Dr. Mike watch this video and not get scared that he might see this in real life
Alright mate this ain’t a boxing match💀💀 8:40
Nah that's crazy💀💀💀
8:13 I will admit I laughed 😂. I felt like I was left hanging on the last video. What happened to the guy? What was supposed to happen with the act? Was him passing out just an act ? I need answers .
Me too!!! How was it supposed to end???
9:00 is why you never trust a clown.
“when you trust clowns, the jokes on you.”
Real
☠️☠️☠️
I believe you because I’m scared of clowns
What was he even trying to do!?
@DoctorMike
We need you to be like a sportscaster for injuries. You are so good at this.
my friend was a trapeze artist, and i was at one of her shows, and i saw her drop 30 feet into a pool, and bellyflopped. she broke her ribs and fractured her arm and leg. now she quit and has ptsd.
Hi Dr Mike! I think it would be cool if you did a book review on "When The Body Says No" by A Canadian doctor named Gabor Maté. It has a very interesting message that is valuable for people to hear but it also seems like, in my limited medical knowledge, there are some misleading statements. It would be interesting to have his claims compared with the literature.
0:32 I REALLY THOUGHT the cannon was going to do him in and go wrong, break his bones, rip parts of him apart of something..
BUT IT WAS THE EASY PART THAT WENT WRONG?!
THE LANDING?!!?
The cannon is just a platform that pushes the performer out in a puff of smoke. With extra pyrotechnics at the base. The landing are should have been checked multiple times to make sure that he doesn't overshoot.
Last night I was have trouble moving sometimes like being put to sleep for surgery 0:56 WAT!!!!
i was is a voluntary first help trainig this week and how they carried away the man in the last video, that hurts to watch.
for the orca parts the is accually a documentry on netflix about orcas and stuff called black fish. i watched it and this helped ATON on my confusion/
4:17 I had a family friend die because her family forced her to wire her mouth shut and the medical team couldn’t save her because of it. My grandma said it happened to her friend but she didn’t say when it happened and it makes me so sad that it was her own family who made her starve herself against her will sometimes people are disgusting
I bet to make things worse they didn't get arrested.
9:30 I’m just saying if that happened to me I’m during for more then they’ll ever have
5:58 new danganronpa execution just dropped🔥🔥
Thank you Mike for making us safe😊🎉❤
Dr Mike is the best doctor TH-camr
2:02 Mike acts like he found the Correct answer in a Indian School Quiz Competition...🤣
6:01This is why we have a fire extinguishers in this places
I think he is on fire 🔥 😮
The orcas are like villains. Akaza lost his wife, Shigaraki accidentally k!lled his family, and Mapleshade lost her kits. And they all became villains. Broken. Orcas attacked the people, after being trapped. Misunderstood.
WAIT A MINUTE WARRIOR CATS REFERENCE?
Didn’t expect the Mapleshade to get mentioned in the comments let alone it even come as a thought XD
I saw Cirque du soliel in London years ago and they were doing the "wheel of death" and one of the performers fell off and clearly broke his arm. Most of the crowd were cheering louder than ever as they thought it was part of the act.
You could see the bone sticking out and he was clearly in agony as he was helped out the back.
Madly they just carried on after a few minutes.
DOCTOR MIKE! I NEED YOU TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION ASAP!!!!!!!!!!
So in my left eye, in the corners of it is some reddish pink, and I’m concerned. It doesn’t itch,hurt or bother me but it does bother me when I…..BLINK MY EYE AGGRESSIVELY! But so I was wondering if you can help me find out what is wrong with my eye.
Also you are only allowed to reply to this comment if you are a doctor or if you know what is wrong with my eye.
