Despite Vine being RIP'd for months now, people continue to act like it still exists. This week, the internet has provided us a special gift of this variety: A video showing how exactly young people in Edmonton have fun. Which, apparently, is by hanging off of railings in a mall and playing frogger on the roofs of bakery stands.The video, shot at the biggest mall in North America, West Edmonton Mall, shows two guys straddling a railing on one of the upper floors above a food court, then hopping down 20-30 feet onto the roof of a cinnamon bun stand in the mall. One dude makes his landing, while his friend immediately crashes through the cinnamon bun stand.The manager of the store through which the failed stuntman crashed reviewed the security footage after the incident."I see some kid come flying through our roof, he hit our granite countertop, his head bounced off quite badly, his back bent fully backwards and then he bounced forward," Cinnzeo manager Henry Gallant told Global News. "He was in pain. He was holding his stomach and stuff—and then I see him slowly get up, run out of the store."According to Gallant, who's been working at West Edmonton for 17 years, he estimates that incidents like this one occur about four to six times a year at the mall."This one's pretty serious," Gallant said. "I hope people don't start doing this…the next person might not be so lucky." Gallant said he doesn't believe mall security are the problem; local police are looking into the failed stunt.Though it's not known what happened to the dude who fell through the bakery stand roof earlier this week, someone posted the video on Instagram with the following caption:"WE LIT AND VIRAL ASF… WE PUT YEG ON THE MAP." Thank god someone did.Follow Allison Tierney on Twitter.
