Vine stunt for viral fame brings injury, regret instead

A risky on-camera stunt for online attention has landed a man in hospital and led him to coin a new phrase: "Don't do it for the Vine."

A video posted to YouTube this week shows a man who appears to be trying to leap over a moving car, but instead kicking the headlights with a thwack and tumbling over the hood.

The stunt hurts to watch, and it hurt even more to do, according to tweets from the man in the video, identified as Obi Nwosu.

Nwosu later deleted the original Vine for which he risked his neck, and posted that he regretted his actions.

Nwosu's Vine has gone viral after all, but he doesn't seem to think it was worth the pain.
