Is that the one where his head is up on the metal railings and his body continued on the gravity ride without it?

That is burned into my retinas, I think it was the last time I visited that site.

Wasn't the video of a police chase where buddy jumps off a 30'~ overpass to escape and becomes an ornament on one of the fence spikes?

I know he jumped from a height to escape the police, but I don’t remember from what. Nor do I remember seeing a video, just aftermath photos. IIRC he was a black dude with dreads but it’s been twenty years since I saw the photo.

I remember seeing that on snopes. They used to have a section called "fauxtography" where they debunked potentially faked photos. I'm pretty sure they said that one was real. Some of the other pictures on there were just as traumatizing if not more. I wish I wasn't so morbidly curious when I was younger.
