Angel of Death comes calling... will it be you next?

[The Grave]

A young lad I know showed me this. He's Hindu, but I suppose upon first seeing this video, anybody could be taken in by religious propaganda. However, I thought it best to be placed in the thinking arena.

What's going on here?

Any suggestions.

You see the guy in white enter the bottom left of the screen and "get taken". Mystical indeed.

He receives a blow as he falls, then rolls and hits the ground hard again which appears to trigger another "fit", causing muscular spasms, leading to the 'dance of death' until finally he gets 'taken'.

Then again, maybe it's a common event with contact sports!

And don't think because you aren't really alive, that your safe...

Blunt trauma to the head followed by uncoordinated physical movement, seizure and then unconsciousness, possibly coma or death depending on the severity of the injury. He may also have damaged his cervical spine when he landed the first time although it's difficult to say for sure.

Where was the "angel of death" in the clip?

Looks like a form of post-concussive seizure activity.

According to the video info:

"This clip is from a match over three years ago between Al-Raed and Hajer, two clubs in Saudi Arabia. The player player's name is Abdulrahman Al-Shoaibi, a Hajer player, and he was hit in the side of the head and suffered a seizure. He had to be taken to hospital, but he was absolutely fine and didn't spend the night there. In fact, he played the very next game for Hajer.

A rumour was spread around saying that this football player was suddenly taken by the angel of death, it is said that he had been strugling with the angel, even though he couldnt see him, then he got tossed around.. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT TRUE! THIS VIDEO IS 100% AUTHENTIC BUT THE RUMOURS THAT HE DIED ARE NOT TRUE!"

I knew there was a catch...

[plumjam]

Yeah, I saw that vid too a while ago. Apparently the guy survived and is fine now.

it is said that he had been strugling with the angel, even though he couldnt see him, then he got tossed around.

One would think the god(s) who created the Angel of Death would have given it greater super powers, if an athletic human could successfully struggle with it for a nontrivial amount of time.

Whatever happened to "I touch you and you die", or using the vorpal 2-handed reaper with guaranteed hit? Now that's an artifact I'd like to acquire. I just hope it can deflect bullets automatically like a lightsaber or Wonder Woman's bracelets.
