He successfully pulls off his first flip as others look on.
A short while later, he tries a second somersault.
But he lands awkwardly on his head, bending his neck at a sickening angle.
He lands on his back on the pile of blankets and remains motionless.
It takes the spectators a few moments to realise he’s badly hurt.
They go over to check on him, but the teenager appears knocked out and cannot move.
Eventually, one of the group has to pick him up and prop him upright as the footage ends.
The horror unfolded outside Garasiya’s house in Bhadana village, Neemuch district, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Local media say the 18-year-old was unconscious when he was admitted to hospital with a neck fracture.
He sadly died from his injuries five days later (18 Dec), as reported by Need To Know.
Garasiya was from a humble family and sold blankets for a living, according to reports.
He was cremated in Bhadana on 19 December.
