- ***Warning: Do not attempt to copy***
The heart-stopping moment a star from Britain’s Got Talent act Lazy Generation broke their back in a botched stunt has resurfaced in a video clip.
Lazy Generation stunned viewers and judges of the ITV talent show last weekend with their daredevil tricks.
Now, footage of one of the members doing a hair-raising stunt that should not be copied has been unearthed online – and it goes very wrong.
The video, posted on YouTube over ten years ago, shows Sam Lloyd wearing a white bodysuit and leaping from the roof of a building.
He appears to aim to land on a large exercise ball, but misses and hits the ground instead.
As he lands and feels the impact of the fall, he frantically screams before turning on his side and quickly puts his hand on his back.

A cameraman and another person who were watching the incident swiftly go to check on Sam, who writhes around in pain.
He was then taken to hospital in a stretcher and diagnosed with a broken back.
Sam hit the Britain’s Got Talent stage over the weekend with his fellow The Lazy Generation stuntmen and performed a range of dangerous acts during their audition.
One trick even involved Simon Cowell, who pulled back a large elastic band onto the chest of two men.
Another saw the group dodge Lego pieces and other painful objects as they ran on a treadmill before tumbling into cacti.
They received praise from the judges including Amanda Holden who said she ‘loved’ the performance and Alesha Dixon who dubbed it ‘genius’.
Britain’s Got Talent has seen other daring acts so far this series, including a performer named Auzzy Blood who put a corkscrew and meat hook through his head and nose, and out of his mouth.
The scene was so dangerous that a warning was put out so viewers do not try the stunt at home – with Dec reiterating the point during the segment.
The horror-stricken act was dressed head to toe gothic attire and had painted their face in a skeleton like face paint.

After twisting the corkscrew and hooks, he then inserted a tube into their nose and out their mouth, instructing Simon to drink from it.
For the final part of the terrifying act, he pulled himself up into the air from a rope with a hook hanging from their mouth and nose.
Throughout the entire gruesome segment, the audience screamed in terror and all four judges turned their faces and chairs away.
Simon said of the act: ‘It’s spooky horror where you don’t want to watch it, but you do want to watch it. That’s obviously why we’re going to show it. We probably will get some complaints. Hopefully!’
