We are always nervous when those breakdancers start popping and locking in the middle of a moving subway train, but somehow we've never actually seen one kick somebody in the face or otherwise hurt themselves... until now. Here is video evidence that you might not be overreacting when you rush to another car to avoid one of these SHOWTIMES. It's no Man Getting Hit By Football, but we'll take it:
That kid's got talent! No, not the one who hit his head, but his partner, who tells the audience "He's got Medicaid, folks," and keeps dancing as the other guy crumples to the floor. Show biz!

The other day a man was ticketed for moving between cars! Doesn't "dancing" stupid in a crowded space, panhandling warrant anything? Goofy.

Am I the only one who doesn't see his head hit a thing? Looks to me like he slaps his hand against the ceiling, setting up his partner's way too quick and collected Medicaid quip.
hotguy
I agree

He hit a plastic light cover so no big thing. These guys are going downhill. The last one I saw danced half heartedly for 30 seconds, mumbled some stuff and walked only half the car and left without any donation. Like everything else, it just aint like it used to be. Wish the tin drum guys would extinct themselves.

Yep, boring and annoying.
