A man running from the police in Fort Worth jumped out of his vehicle and did an impressive flip over the fence. 

I sure as hell wouldn’t have been able to pull that flip off. I would have ended up tangled in a mass of barbed wire begging the cops to arrest me. 

Then again, I wouldn’t have run from the police in the first place. I don’t know the exact statistics, but my best guess would be that folks running from the cops fail to evade them about 99.9% of the time.

I will admit that it’s entertaining to watch (from a safe distance, anyway). I’m pretty sure I would freak out if it were happening right in front of me. But watching on the internet is a different story. 

When I first watched the clip, I thought he might actually get away. The cops who were pursuing him on foot didn’t seem too interested in jumping over that fence.  

That was before I saw the cruiser cutting across the field after him. 

Once the guy realized he wasn’t going to outrun that cruiser on foot, he finally threw his hands up in the air and accepted defeat.
