Even really unique, fun-looking spots can knock the wind right out of you.

Silas is known for his precision skating, so we're guessing this nose-blunt hang-up was deliberate. But we doubt he expected this outcome.

Hesitation meets momentum and Jackson goes for a quick spin.

The Chief will always be a skate rat, but slams in your late 30s feel a lot different than when you're a young blood.

Everyone knows Grant's got those crazy airs to Back-D bash. Do you think he slammed on one of those or is this a classic unexpected hang-up?

Tony twists up a wild move and goes straight to his elbow. You can almost feel this one through the screen.

Curbs at the bottom of banks can be very unforgiving. Squintz finds out the hard way.

Whoa. Either Alex had a lot of adrenaline or his ankles are made of rubber, but we're not sure how he walked away from this one.

This gap ranks up there with the craziest drops in skating. Moments after Cardiel got the make, Gonz fully commits and faces the consequences. From the 1998 Antihero video.

Some split-second hesitation means Devin gets a transfer over a rail, but it wasn't the one he was hoping for.

Jeremy tries a crazy line and kisses some concrete. Burnside is not a cheap date.

How brutal is this Hall of Meat? Let's just say you can see Bryce's tooth bouncing on the ground.

It starts with a caveman and ends with a coconut bongo as Joel's shoe takes flight. It'll all make sense when you see the clip.

Skating can give you severe bodily injury from head to toe. Everyone knows that. But the throat? Holy smokes...

This ramp launcher has a huge inflatable landing, so there's no way someone could wind up in Hall of Meat, right?

Our man escapes unscathed, narrowly avoiding what could have been a major tragedy.

Thick vegetation can sometimes cushion a slam. But if your leg goes through the rail, no plants can save you.

Skate Rock survivor Sean Gutierrez down for life takes one on a picnic table you're glad you weren't having your lunch at. —Phelps

Slamming on grass and soil beats cement every time, but it can still knock the wind right out of you.

This slam isn't a knock-out, but Jared's gonna chill on the ground for awhile anyway.

Ryder will be the first to tell you: Some credit card charges are very shocking.

You can injure pretty much every inch of your body while skating. Even the top of your head.

Don't watch this, it will ruin your day...

We're guessing this was going to be a humorous doubles set-up. Nothing funny about knee ligaments snapping like rubber bands.

Hall of Meat is a harsh reminder of skating's brutality. It's a medicine usually given in small doses… So prepare to overdose. This clip is not for the faint of heart.

Although this block of concrete just sits there, it nevertheless brutalizes and tortures Zack on a huge gap to back lip.

This spot's been skated for over two decades, but Kyle was the first to go up and over… for a price.

On terrain this massive, the speed and scale of the skating can be misleading. Toad shows how a brutal slam is an instant lesson in physics.

There's no way to look smooth while tumbling down a bank. By the end, Rob's paramedic training kicks in, and he realizes it's time to just lay down. They don't call him Magnethead for nothing.

The 50-50 slip-out doesn't care if you're a legendary skate veteran or not. It feasts on everyone at some point.

Tommy's approach to skating is so gnarly that he even shocks other pro skaters. But as this taildrop shows, even the best can get taken out at any moment.

When a line involves two quick drops and the first landing goes wrong, that means the second one is gonna be even worse.

We're not sure what Trent was trying here. Nosegrind? Noseblunt? Regardless, getting lumped like this wasn't the outcome he expected.

Matt's already had Internet fame through one of his slams, but it hasn't gone to his head. This carcass toss, however, did.

A round-rail 50-50 is never a sure thing. Even when your trucks are locked and loaded, it can turn sour in a flash. Know any good chiropractors?

How could anyone forget Chris Gentry's epic King of the Road rap? Well, Rap-A-Lot's favorite white boy is back with his 2nd Thrasher exclusive recording: Hall of Meat. If you're squeamish, don't watch this edit. Everyone else, enjoy the trainwreck.

A board-bounce like this is probably what it feels like to get hit by lightning—from behind.

Some spots just beg for a plunge. Jake took the tail drop and got served like a holiday dinner.

With web content, we're supposed to encourage video plays, "Likes", Tweets, links, all that. But for the first time in Hall of Meat history, we're actually going to warn you about this one. Say a prayer for this dude's ankle.

To his credit, after getting sacked Kory avoids a faceplant scorpion, but he does get a forearm squeeker.

Sometimes you go out with intentions of getting a Firing Line, but end up with a Hall of Meat.

Some sightings are rare: Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, UFOs. But those are nothing compared to seeing one of the most consistent skaters of all time take a head-bounce and lose his hat.

Sticking on a hubba and getting pitched down stairs is never fun. Landing directly on the edge of the last step doesn't make it any more enjoyable.

After years of footage with bolts landings, smooth roll-aways, and big smiles, we started to think Theotis never slammed. Think again.

Roberto Jimenez' backflip 50-50 was borderline crazy. This double backflip attempt is straight up psychopath status.

Aldrin Garcia's toes lose a battle with some weak electromagnetic forces. Someone mop that floor with a soda or somethin.'

Locking in a proper feeble can be a steady ride. Anything short of that and you're fair game for a brutal body toss.

Puking after hitting your head is never a good sign. "Dude, I think you might have a concussion." Thanks to the Boardroom in Fresno, CA for the submission.

When ollieing over high bars with big drops, the worst-case-scenario is hanging up your legs and taking a dive to the concrete.

A handrail sack is usually the worst-case scenario, but it was just the beginning for Fritz.

The same skaters who don't blink an eye over a slam section onslaught will cringe and gasp at footage of a full ankle snap.

Eating pavement while skating has a high price, but comes at no charge. Osiris offered free shoes to the best of the worst, and…man did these guys earn them.

To err is human. To miss the rail entirely is a disaster. Even insanely talented skaters like Cory aren't all bolts all day.

Kyle gets a transfer…but sliding on his shoulder down a rough asphalt bank wasn't the one he was going for.

He's known for rolling away from some of the craziest rails of all time, so some people think it's all no sweat for David. Think again.
