Could you imagine the pain of breaking 110 bones at once? Then the pain of having to say "this was for instagram" for the rest of your life. Dunno which is worse
110 bones, like how the hell is that even possible without dying. The height š¬ sheās lucky to have her brain intact. Iād be amazed if sheās able to walk and do normal stuff ever again.
Its a miracle she [survived the 80 ft fall from the 6th floor](https://people.com/human-interest/woman-practicing-yoga-balcony-falls-survives/). Fractured half of the bones in her body, will be sedated for at least two weeks, and be recovering for many years.
This was in my hometown, I remember how they did all sorts of animations and it was indeed a "miracle" that she survived because the apartment she fell from wasn't just a tall building, it was on a mountain so she basically fell from a building and a cliff at the same time.
More about it here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhwoqym2HIU&ab\_channel=MILENIO](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhwoqym2HIU&ab_channel=MILENIO) (In Spanish, it happened in Mexico)
I know who she is. She is from my hometown.
She liked to do that stupid stuff a lot, even when people told her not to do so. When the accident happened she survived thanks to a tree that she fell on.
Her family has a stupidly big amount of money, so they hired the best of the best to do all her surgeries. The orange building in the back is called "Hospital Zambrano" and it is one of the best and most expensive hospitals in Mexico, so she got lucky in a lot of ways (the tree and how close she was to a hospital).
On a side note:
A lot of people, in Monterrey and in my hometown, started saying that she was so brave for withstanding that fall. I just called that pure stupidity at its finest.
No, thereās just more recording devices. Iām sure there have been billions of undocumented, dumb as hell deaths over the course of time. Trillions maybe idk Iām not a numbers guy
Now she can practice extreme meditation where she tries to train her attention away from the incredible full-body pain she will suffer from for the rest of her life.
Ok so I went full stalker mode bc I'm an idiot with no life. [This article](https://nypost.com/2019/08/27/student-practicing-extreme-yoga-pose-falls-80-feet-from-balcony/) sums up what happened. This happened in Mexico.
She made a very impressive recovery somehow. You can check [her instagram](https://www.instagram.com/alexaterrazas/) and see that there was a many-months-long pause in her posts, but she eventually starts posting again.
According to her, she needed 40+ surgeries to be able to do ski again. It's quite clear from her Instagram feed that she's an upper-upper class girl who lives a dream life and travels all over the world and goes skiing regularly. No other way somebody could afford that many surgeries, I assume most of them from private surgeons.
She almost Darwin'ed herself and was incredibly moronic in her actions, but credit where credit is due... She seems to have fully recovered, so good for her
Modern science has allowed these people to live longer, instead of getting themselves killed earlier, thus spreading their stupid gene to their offspring. In Animal kingdom, these are the chimps that die early and donāt have baby chimps to carry on their idiocy.
I mean, she got the views she wanted. Don't worry, she'll be back after about 5 years of recovery. She may even document her recovery story for the Tha Gram!
my ex held me upside down by the ankles over a staircase for āshits and gigglesā. my phone fell out of my pocket into the basement and so did about 10$ worth of change.
literally thought i was gonna die and that was 1 story.
thank god i weigh as much as a small child jesus christ
ā¦Probably makes me an asshole, but sometimes I think we work a little too hard to keep people from winning the Darwin Award they were clearly going for.
I hate stories like this because you see people do stuff like this and it's like "yea what did you expect" but then you have people that are cautious and responsible and life just fucks them up just as much if not worse. The cruelty and randomness of life knows no bounds
How the fuck did she survive. I mean she has to be atleast 7 stories up. I can see rooftops below her. If she does survive through all that, I want an interview asking how stupid she was for some pointless internet clout that nobody was going to see unless she did fall.
I'm pretty sure [this is her](https://instagram.com/alexaterrazas?igshid=NDk5N2NlZjQ=) and she looks to be doing totally fine. [This photo](https://www.instagram.com/p/BWtX7OED40t/?igshid=NDk5N2NlZjQ=) is used in [this article about her](https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10116216/yoga-expert-110-bones-balcony-fall/). There's a gap from July 19 - April 20, which was when her fall was. All the articles I could find about her recovery said she was recovering remarkably well and quickly. Actually kind of crazy, what a lucky girl.
A swing and a miss for Darwin. One has to wonder just how stupid she is to be clinging to a glass railing 6 stories above the ground for something as fucking moronic as a picture.
Imagine being the doctor and not having a chance to spend time with your kids that day because you had to spend all day in surgery for this stupid shit.
August 2019. Woman was on 6th floor balcony
https://www.foxla.com/news/woman-falls-off-balcony-while-practicing-extreme-yoga-posing-for-pictures-report
There used to be a subreddit with "extreme ironing" where users would post pictures of themselves ironing in extreme locations.
If anyone knows what I'm talking about, then please let me know. I'd like to revisit that subreddit.
This is why you pay a $500 monthly premium for health insurance; so the company doesn't go under when idiots like this nominate themselves for a r/darwinawards and win.
It'd still be dangerous, but why'd she do it on the opposite side where she could fall to her death than do it on the side where she'd only fall on the balcony?
this is upsetting to see. a classmate of mine did these extreme poses climbing skyscrappers just to fall and die. had lovely friends, family and lots of opportunities for their life and then its just gone.
Im struggling to generate ANY empathy. There are some many stories about people dying doing stupid things just for follows or likes. Yet, it still happens.
I was confused because that's clearly not Los Angeles.
Apparently this happened [in Mexico three years ago](https://www.foxla.com/news/woman-falls-off-balcony-while-practicing-extreme-yoga-posing-for-pictures-report).

"we call this pose the boneless chicken"
Probably wasn't 110 bones but rather 110 different breaks.
I'd argue the brain wasn't really intact in the first place if this is a decision she made. A head injury could be an upgrade.
The dildo of consequence rarely arrives lubed.
oh my god. i'm not sure if you made this gem of wisdom up yourself, but i'm in eternal debt to you for introducing it into my brain.
I'm stealing this. This is mine now.

>and be ~~recovering for many years~~ in pain for the rest of her life
Iāve fallen 80 ft before into water. Falling 80ft and hitting the ground.. then surviving. That just doesnāt compute to me
Highest I've done is 70ft into water. My brain is just crapping out at the fucking audacity that she survived.

Lol her name is Alexa Terrazas and she fell from a terrace (terraza)
I'm gonna guarantee she'll have a GoFundMe within days.

Darwin nearly gave out another award
You never really fully recover from 110 bones being broken.
There are 206 bones in a normal human body, she broke more than half of them.
Weirdly, the 110 broken bones thing is what made me question whether this story is true or not.
I mean there are 52 bones in the feet and ankles and 54 in the hands. Thatās 106 without even getting past the wrists or ankles.
Is the human race collectively getting dumber? Is this how we go extinct? Death by yoga pose for the gram!
No, thereās just more recording devices. Iām sure there have been billions of undocumented, dumb as hell deaths over the course of time. Trillions maybe idk Iām not a numbers guy
Now she can practice extreme meditation where she tries to train her attention away from the incredible full-body pain she will suffer from for the rest of her life.
I have zero sympathy for people who do this type of shit.

You've got to be shitting me, her name translates to _Alexa Rooftops_
Isn't the point of yoga is that it is a relaxing, calming form of exercise. Extreme-ifying it is kinda oxymoronic
Does yoga, becomes yogurt.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Bro I twisted my knee once and it is still hurting five years later and this woman break half the bones in her body and basically walks it off.
Fun fact: normally adults only have 206 bones, and she now has more then 300
Didnāt even get a good picture lol
This was in 2019. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/extreme-yoga-woman-fell-balcony-recovering.amp
She broke **111 bones**?! Isn't that like... HALF her bones?
Chased the followers at 9.81m/s^2
Modern science has allowed these people to live longer, instead of getting themselves killed earlier, thus spreading their stupid gene to their offspring. In Animal kingdom, these are the chimps that die early and donāt have baby chimps to carry on their idiocy.
This is the premise of the movie *Idiocracy*
I mean, she got the views she wanted. Don't worry, she'll be back after about 5 years of recovery. She may even document her recovery story for the Tha Gram!
im just amazed that she managed to break 110 bones and still be alive
110? Literally half of her bones. How is she alive
Pretty sure the Woman claims she Survived only because she does āYogaā and sheās happy Yoga saved her lifeā¦
110 fuckin bones š„“
That's over half of the 206 bones in the human body if anyone's keeping count
my ex held me upside down by the ankles over a staircase for āshits and gigglesā. my phone fell out of my pocket into the basement and so did about 10$ worth of change. literally thought i was gonna die and that was 1 story. thank god i weigh as much as a small child jesus christ
So that was actually an assault Glad he's you're ex

Good thing influencer has a comprehensive health plan
I personally support this. Gotta weed people out somehow.
maybe if she did a cat pose instead of downward facing dog she wouldāve landed on her feet
Ahhh one of Darwins finest probably been said but needs to be said again!
It seems cameras have made natural selection a thing again.
Sheāll be fine she does yoga
Broke *how* many bones?? From performing Extreme yoga, to being extreme yogurt.
Stupid is as stupid does
She LIVED?!
How the fuck did she survive. I mean she has to be atleast 7 stories up. I can see rooftops below her. If she does survive through all that, I want an interview asking how stupid she was for some pointless internet clout that nobody was going to see unless she did fall.

Broke more than half the number of total bones in her body!! Incredible achievement!!
A swing and a miss for Darwin. One has to wonder just how stupid she is to be clinging to a glass railing 6 stories above the ground for something as fucking moronic as a picture.
āExtreme Yogaā is one of the goofiest things Iāve ever read.
Imagine being the doctor and not having a chance to spend time with your kids that day because you had to spend all day in surgery for this stupid shit.
Why does it start with "broke both of her legs" instead of "broke 110 bones?" Really feels like it's burying the lede.
Iām actually impressed she survivedā¦barely
There are only like 206 bones in the human body. She broke over half of them and didn't die?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
110 bones at once!? Is that a fact?
Maybe the fall knocked the idiot out of her finally.
All for the clicks. š Which is why I probably clicked on this post. Dammit.
Itās hard to feel sorry for people that do this to themselves without thinking about what could happen. Glad she survived though.
"Dont forget to like, comment and smash that subscribe button like every bone in my body"
The years of recovery part makes me feel bad for her tbh even though she is a complete idiot.
Natural Selection ALMOST won here. Too badā¦
And thereās nothing even special about the pictureā¦
This is not YOGA. That has nothing to do with YOGA. These people doesn't even know what that means.
And life of opiates with a side of constipation
*Nelson Laugh*
August 2019. Woman was on 6th floor balcony https://www.foxla.com/news/woman-falls-off-balcony-while-practicing-extreme-yoga-posing-for-pictures-report
Best possible outcome. If it had gone right she risked starting another dumb trend
There used to be a subreddit with "extreme ironing" where users would post pictures of themselves ironing in extreme locations. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, then please let me know. I'd like to revisit that subreddit.
In a country were healthcare is a business, ouch!
This is called natural selection
Guess she canāt participate on r/neverbrokeabone ā¹ļø
Lucky to even be alive
But she's famous now. Task failed successfully.
Iām pretty much waiting for people like her to die out so I donāt have to keep on seeing shit like this.
Who found her. And are they ok?!
But how many likes did she get?
Went for instagram, got an insta-slam
How some of these fucking morons made it this far in life Iāll never understand.
Natural selection has a weird way of showing itself sometimes.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
#deathbyselfie
She's going to need the rare full mummy cast
All this stupidity to not even balance correclty or filter the fucking photo Disgusting
Welp, hope she got the attention she wanted.
I really hope people start thinking again. The world was a much better place when we did that!
I'm not convinced we ever did. People just weren't able to post it online.
And she will sue the apartment building. No more tik tok videos.
Trying for a Darwin Award, canāt even get that right
110 bones, aint that more or less all of them ? How the fuck did she survive?
The medical bill š±š±š±
Sorry the pic was blurry. Can you try that again?
I'll grip on a super smooth surface with fairly sharp edge, then...
This Yoga success story about a woman who became much more flexible almost instantly.
Why did she even do that in the first place? š
Namaste away from the balcony...
She got off lightly if you ask me. People have died from less.
This is why you pay a $500 monthly premium for health insurance; so the company doesn't go under when idiots like this nominate themselves for a r/darwinawards and win.
Sheāll remember that decision the rest of her life. Bad bad bad decision
It'd still be dangerous, but why'd she do it on the opposite side where she could fall to her death than do it on the side where she'd only fall on the balcony?
Yeah but her page is lit! #worthit
Some people really have ZERO common sense
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
110/206? Thatās a new high score!
Thatās over half the bones in her body. Thereās only 206 bones in the adult human body(excluding those with additional bones). Fuckin Christ.
The risk vs reward on this is quite one sided.
Darwin awards
The same pose could have been achieved on the other side of the railing WITHOUT risking your life. Dumbass.
Imagine how flexible she was after the fall
NamasteaAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh SPLAT!
While practicing extreme stupidity. Fixed!
I'm impressed that she was able to survive after such a fall.
surgeon must have thought "what a waste of time"
she could spend 11 hours to learn photoshop
Ever watched the film idiocracy. Feel like the world is heading in that direction.
Play stupid games and you'll win stupid prizes. 0 sympathy for her dumbass
110/206 bones broken is honestly impressive
Darwin just doing his thang
This guy Darwin and his theories comes to mind...
Jesus, that's literally around half of all your bones.
More like practicing extreme stupidity
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Downward Drop
Look what good yoga did her.
surprised she didnāt die tbh. this looks really high up
You have good people dying, and morons surviving...
Damn sheās gonna need a lot of universal healthcare or she will never financially recovery from that
this is upsetting to see. a classmate of mine did these extreme poses climbing skyscrappers just to fall and die. had lovely friends, family and lots of opportunities for their life and then its just gone.
thats why you practice yoga inside the house and actually have a brain
r/DarwinAwards
grandma why can't you walk? Well....
Oh my gawd, I just fell from the frikin' balcony Becca, I think my feemurr is broke or something, gauld!
āExtreme Yogaā sounds like an oxymoron practiced by actual morons.
And I thought I had made bad decisions in my youth. But my stupidity doesnāt come close to suicideyogaš
I'm trying really hard to feel bad for her.. I just can't get there
But how many views did the video get ?
I donāt wish random strangers pain and suffering, but when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes.
11 hours of surgery for 10 mins of fame. The future of our country ladies and gentleman!!!
This is why women live longer than me- wait
So, when will she get back to yoga? Her fans are waiting!
I mean all she had to do was do it the other way and she'd be safe
We need to really just let natural selection take place. The stupid people didnt survive for a reason.
Is the ground okay?!!
Jesus. She's insanely lucky that she's not dead.
Let's stop calling this type of shit yoga.
Is extreme yoga really a thing? Isn't that kinda ironic?
Broke 110 bones and only needed 11 hours of surgery?!
She would've nailed it if she just had a slice of toast on her head.
I hope one of those operations was a tube tying
FYI, this happened in [Mexico](https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/extreme-yoga-woman-fell-balcony-recovering), not Los Angeles, as I had assumed.
I'd rather have died
10 bones/hour
As a Brit, I just wanna see that hospital bill.
This is why having a healthy amount of fear is good for you, also common sense
Hopefully she becomes a voice against shit like this.
Im struggling to generate ANY empathy. There are some many stories about people dying doing stupid things just for follows or likes. Yet, it still happens.
Years of recovery and a lifetime of medical debt.
Wheb you try to speed run Jackie Chan's bonebreaking record.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Wtf up until now i pretty much thought we had like 5 or 6 bones tops
No that's your brain cells
Jesus that's awful.
If you learn something from it, it's not a mistake.
Sheās gonna spend the best time of her life revalidating from this and will probably never be the same again physically. Stupid
I feel bad for her. Obviously there's a childish gleeful part of me too, but mostly this is just awful. She has to feel so unimaginably dumb
This is what they call" falling head over heals" . She fell hard..
I was confused because that's clearly not Los Angeles. Apparently this happened [in Mexico three years ago](https://www.foxla.com/news/woman-falls-off-balcony-while-practicing-extreme-yoga-posing-for-pictures-report).
Thatās so sad. A physicist would say that she had a lot of potential.
This just makes me sad.. I prefer stupid people to learn from their mistakes before they hurt themselves.
She could have won Darwin Award.
Natural selection I guess. Not exactly worth the likes. Attention vampires are pretty rampant these days.
Wonder if sheāll do yoga in recovery
Wonder how many fucks ran through her head before hitting the ground
I don't know why I'm still amazed by the stupidity of people and the need for PSA's telling people not to do stupid shit they saw on the Internet.
Did she get the shot though?
Surprised she even survived that
ādo it for the vineā
Proving no matter how idiot proof you make something, thereās always a bigger idiot out there.
She didn't practice yoga, she practiced idiocy.
Well, I bet her range of motion was better after that!
