Since we’ve just tripped and stumbled down memory lane into a backwoods sewage treatment tank, let’s pull out another oldie but seldom seen* goodie from our first trip to West Chester, PA, in the summer of 2000…although I believe this may have been shot just south of the border in Delaware, the forgotten state. Regardless, this farcical stunt was merely an expansion upon one of Bam’s earlier CKY clips where he’d jumped off the roof of a house with a patio umbrella. But, adhering to the adage “if you fail, try, try again,” Bam put his physics cap on and came up with the equation that if he amplified everything in an exponential manner, e.g. “bigger fall + bigger patio umbrella,” that it would quite possibly add up to a success of Mary Poppins-like proportions. It did not.

* Yeah, yeah, before any of you nitpickers get particular on my ass, this bit of Bam’s originally surfaced on the bootleg “Too Hot for MTV” tape but was later used in a more formal sense on the jackass the movie unrated edition circa 2006.
