You’re out of luck if you’re trying to find the video showing Tom Segura attempting a slam dunk in 2020, which left him with some serious injuries, as YouTube thinks it’s too “graphic” to be shown on its platform.
Tom Segura’s latest Netflix special, Sledgehammer, just dropped, in which he talks about an array of factors relating to his life, including the terrifying accident he suffered on the basketball court during a friendly game with Bert Kreischer.
Tom Segura’s slam dunk video is too ‘graphic’
WARNING: Content of a disturbing nature ahead
You’ve been warned about the graphic visuals in Tom’s injury video if you still wish to watch it as some Twitter users are circulating it once again in 2023.
The viral video shows Tom going for a dunk, only to slip and land on his left arm when it was positioned at the back. The comedian curls up on the floor immediately and lays motionless as you can hear the fellow comedian’s voice in the background: “Are you okay, buddy?”
The impact from the fall was so bad that Tom had to reportedly get a nerve transfer to fix it, according to TMZ. His Instagram still displays the X-Ray of the bone in his arm that’s broken in two.
When he appeared on Pardon My Take, he revealed he had to enlist the nurses’ help in the hospital to clean up after going #2, as he couldn’t move his broken arm.
While revisiting the terrifying incident that not only landed him in the hospital but also pretty much left him immobilized for a while, Tom said even the doctor treating him couldn’t watch the video showing his injury twice.
Apparently, the comedian even showed the treating medical staff the video capturing his fall and the scary landing as they were filming their stunts on the basketball court when he fell.
He said: “And then I showed it to him, I gave him my phone, and he goes, ‘Oh!’ I go, ‘Wait, you’re shrugging at that?’ He goes, ‘Yeah, that was terrible. I don’t want to see that again.'”
It isn’t surprising that YouTube doesn’t allow the injury video on its platform as it clearly violates its guidelines.
When you look for the video, you’re met with the message: “This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s policy on violent or graphic content”
Sledgehammer is streaming on Netflix
Just like the above scary incident, Sledgehammer navigates several other funny and interesting aspects of Tom’s life.
The Netflix special, which dropped on July 4, has opened to rave reviews, with fans and critics equally praising Tom for delivering one of the best performances of his life.
The comedian recently concluded his world tour I’m Coming Everywhere, which reportedly saw him perform before 700,000 fans in a span of 21 months.
