男子「卡」在网球拍里视频疯传：X播放逾2300万，拍摄者称他是柔术演员、人没事
一段只有11秒的视频近日在社交平台X上疯传：画面中一名男子整个上身和一条腿都「卡」在一副网球拍的拍框里，拍框的拍线已被拆掉，周围的人站着围观、没有上前帮忙，不少网友追问后来到底怎么样了。据《今日美国》11月3日报道，这段视频自10月31日起经一则转发帖在X上传开，播放量已超过2300万次；有网友开玩笑说，「消防部门怕是要把这事讲上好几代人」。
视频的原拍摄者是Odigie Efe Alex。他对《今日美国》说：「这名男子没事。」现年35岁的Alex住在尼日利亚贝宁城，他最早于9月28日把这段视频发在自己的Instagram账号上，在那里播放量已超过150万次；他说，自己此前并不知道这段视频在西方社交平台上又火了起来。
Alex说，视频拍于他工作的一家当地餐厅，他在那里受雇为派对和活动担任司仪。画面中的男子也是该餐厅聘请的艺人，是一名柔术演员，还表演跳舞和魔术。Alex说，就连他和同事当时也被吓了一跳：这名表演者开始拍打地面、装作真的陷入了大麻烦，现场不少人喊着「请你们帮帮他」。Alex说：「他算是把全场都骗了，连服务员和员工都以为他真的被卡住了。」
Alex说，当围观者开始真的害怕时，他停止了拍摄，因此没有拍到这名表演者随后「就这么站了起来」脱身的一幕。Alex说，他至今不知道这名柔术演员的名字，正在想办法拿到他的联系方式、再与他合作拍一段视频。
据《今日美国》报道，钻过网球拍是柔术表演中常见的一招：肯尼亚表演者@pancho_.tz今年4月18日发布的一段钻进钻出网球拍的视频，播放量已超过800万次；挪威柔术演员Captain Frodo也曾于2015年在悉尼的一场TEDx演讲现场，现场钻过两副网球拍。
这名「卡在网球拍里」的男子还被网友做成了表情包，其中一张「我要过来了，你可别卡在网球拍里」的配图帖获得超过7.9万个赞；还有网友晒出自己躺在地上、上身套着网球拍的照片，称这是「最好的临时万圣节装扮」。GSM未下载、未搬运这段疯传视频，读者可在原帖查看。
Man 'Stuck' in a Tennis Racket Video Goes Viral: More Than 23 Million Views on X, Creator Says He Is a Contortionist and Is Fine
An 11-second video has gone viral on X: it shows a man with his entire torso and one of his legs trapped inside the oval of a tennis racket whose strings have been removed, while people stand around him and do not help, leaving many commenters asking what happened next. According to USA TODAY on November 3, since October 31 the clip has amassed more than 23 million views on X thanks to a repost, and one X user joked, 'Fire department gonna be talking about this for generations.'
The video's original creator is Odigie Efe Alex. 'The guy is fine,' Alex told USA TODAY. Alex, 35, lives in Benin City, Nigeria, and first shared the video on his Instagram account on September 28, where it received over 1.5 million views; he said he was not aware of its newfound popularity on Western social media.
Alex said he filmed the video at his workplace, a local restaurant where he is hired as an emcee for parties and events. The man in the tennis racket was also an entertainer hired by the restaurant, a contortionist whose act also involved dancing and magic. Alex said even he and his coworkers were surprised and concerned when the man began slapping the ground, acting like he was in serious trouble, while people in the background could be heard saying, 'Please, you guys should help him.' 'He kind of tricked the bar; even the waiters and workers were afraid that he was stuck,' Alex said.
Alex said he stopped filming when people started getting scared, so he missed the moment when the performer 'just sort of stood up.' He said he does not know the contortionist's name and has been trying to get his number so he can film another video with him.
According to USA TODAY, squeezing through a tennis racket is a common contortionist trick: a performer from Kenya named @pancho_.tz posted a video on April 18 showing him getting in and out of a racket, which now has over 8 million views, and Norwegian contortionist Captain Frodo fit through two tennis rackets in front of a live TEDx crowd in Sydney in 2015.
The man in the tennis racket has also made his way into memes, including one showing a woman typing, 'I'm coming over, you better not be stuck in a tennis racket,' which has drawn more than 79,000 likes, and one user posted a photo of himself lying on the ground with his torso in a tennis racket, calling it the best last-minute Halloween costume. GSM has not downloaded or reposted the viral clip; readers can view it on the original post.
