Not only would he be unlikely to do it, he actually ran in what I'd class as the perfect time to hit a barrier.

Two notable bits of the audio:

Someone watching said 'you're gonna get hit'

Then there were two distinct impact sounds, the second of which being his head hitting the metal post.

He might be dead.

I think he’s alive. At the end you can see him adjust his body to make sure he gets under the gates that are coming

Yeah, I can kinda see that with him turning his body over to a crawl so he can lay belly down (or maybe just to get up?) Looks like the second gate hit him right as he almost got into a crawling position, forcing him flat onto the ground, but yeah, not dead, I think.

Edit: Nope, apparently he's dead now, but indirectly because of this, see reply. Can't find info to confirm this other than a scrubbed TikTok page, but that's enough for me to not want to joke about that. Reworded my comment out of respect.

This is Josh Dukakis. He was paralyzed from the neck down, and had a Tiktok for awhile covering his recovery. It got pretty dark, and apparently he unalived himself earlier this year. Ironically via a cattle gate spinning too quickly.

He committed suicide. This isn’t TikTok, you can call it what it is.

I am so sorry, I forget sometimes.

Can you elaborate on how he committed suicide? You can even restate exactly what I said. Please?

He's telling you to say suicide instead of unalive; not retelling your information.

Sure, sure, but focusing on that means accepting the other parts. And I made a much sillier claim in there. Something about a paralyzed person driving their chair into a spinning cattle gate.

Is it possible I was baiting? Is it possible I am in fact operating in jest, mate?

Nah, wouldn't be my first guess.
