Remember that time a guy in South Africa did the ultimate dumb thing and took a flying leap into the back of Arnold Schwarzenegger?

No?

Here’s how it went down. It was 2019 and the then 71-year-old former bodybuilder was at a sports festival in Johannesburg, the Arnold Classic Africa. He’d just finished recording a Snapchat when a man ran up from behind, jumped into the air and landed a double-footed kick right into “The Terminator’s” back. In a video clip of the incident, a security guard tackles the man as Schwarzenegger slightly stumbles forward.

Slightly. Really.

He later posted on Twitter about the incident, saying “I thought I was just jostled by the crowd, which happens a lot. I only realized I was kicked when I saw the video like all of you. I’m just glad the idiot didn’t interrupt my Snapchat.”
