Each slab must be at least 30 lbs. And there were about 2-4 slabs that fell on his ankle.

I think it's safe to say he broke his ankle.

I've seen walls like that in the US, often built with much larger components though.

It looks like the kind of concrete wall they put along highways to block the sound.

It certainly didn't sound like a concrete wall when he was kicking it though. I assume the "help me" at the end was the cameraman asking someone to help him help the other guy, because it didn't sound like it came from the guy who was kicking the wall.

They put these type of walls up as fences along the through roads in my neighborhood here in TX.

doubt it. even if at most he lost his leg he can still get a job. he is young so has time to earn the skills needed.

now he might sue the state for shit loads of money though.

I-beams set in concrete, then lightweight concrete lagging in between.
We do deep excavation using a similar method, with 4" x 8" timbers.

Yeah I wish. Like waggy said, he'll probably find somebody to sue for assload of money 'cause he's not completely disable, so he can't get full disability benefits.

Would he really be able to win when there is a videotape of his deliberate stupidity?

concrete weighs around 150lb/s per cubic foot. Those blocks looked like they were around 8" x 8" x 24" which would mean each weighed ~130lbs each.

But then again, they appear to be hollow...

If they're the type that are used around here, they're more like 4" thick - but the ones in the video are also about 48" long, so the weight's still probably about what legoman666 figured.

I wouldn't be surprised if he loses that foot.

Stupid kids.

nope. its proof that the wall was not made properly. it should be able to stand up to a kid kicking it!

Look at the width of the gap between the slabs when it comes down. Almost looks like his foot gets chopped off. At the least I'm thinking the bones got crushed into several splintered pieces.

The kid deserves it...and it's published on the Internet for all to see. :D

It almost sounds like he's kicking a metal panel...maybe it's just the crappy audio, but I've never heard concrete sound like that.

I doubt he'd be able to sue...seems like negligence on his part (or stupidity - whatever you want to call it). If it fell on him while leaning on it or without doing anything that consituted vandalism or intentionally damaging he might have a case.
