Uh yea sure.

Yeah—Crush the Patient’s Ribcage!

Sticking it to the man

C ardio P ogo R esucitation.

i think he wished if he was dead already

The guy will be alive, but he’ll have broken ribs from being hopped on.;/

Chest compression! Chest compression! Chest compression!

Sometimes all you need is a jump start.

Jeremy, he’s lifted his head to look at you, so you can stop now. PLEASE!

Pogobrilator? Defibripogo? Whatever…

HA! Green Plaid Alert! Everybody do a shot!

Great positioning, Bleeb! You get to observe the unorthodox CPR and the shocked lady in front of you!

I like the Darth Vader purse.

In my job (because we work around high voltage) we get an annual refresher course in CPR and the use of a defibrillator. But we’ve never been trained in this method.

A CPA performing CPR?

Unfortunately, the man’s distress was not a heart attack.

Now just whose day did Jeremy save? Cuz the dude on the ground surely is toast!

The blood covered pogo stick and Jeremy’s smile are disturbing.

Better the pogo than the jack hammer

They actually make devices that do that.

However, the crushed ribs still required admittance to hospital.

And the poor guy just slipped and fell.

Kids, don’t try this at home, or anywhere for that matter.

Believe me, Bleeb, that’s not how it’s done! And why are you standing next to Patty Murray? :)

CPR Crushed Plenty Ribs…

Bleeb is there in case they have to do mouth-to-mouth.

But he was only “in distress” cuz he stubbed his toe.

Hey, fella – the guy’s eyes are already open. Once he’s conscious you’re supposed to STOP!!!!

They used to have a lot of pogo stick blunders on America’s Funniest Home Videos . Maybe if somebody records and sends it in, they’ll win a trip to Disney World. ;-p

I have finally seen something less funny than a heart attack.
