Harlem Globetrotter William "Bull" Bullard Almost Crushed by Backboard On Huge Dunk (SCARY)

This was one of the scariest dunks I've ever seen.  I don't know that anyone has ever died from dunking before but this is probably the closest you will ever see.  William "Bull" Bullard is known to throw down some massive dunks where he pulls his whole body up to the rim and hang with his feet on the rim or backboard but this didn't work out quite so well. 

This looks like one of those older hoops that aren't built to withstand this much force and it just snapped and came straight down on his head.  He's lucky it didn't hit him in the neck or throat because he could have gotten paralyzed or possibly died.  He looked to be OK at the end when he came back out to watch the game but he definitely got a nice gash in his forehead.  It's nice to see he wasn't seriously injured.  

The Globetrotters might want to rethink their dunk strategy because it looks like they've been breaking backboards all over the world.  Maybe they should only do these massive dunks in the US where there are more up to date hoops that have been Shaq proofed. 


All of the rims got updated after Shaq started destroying them all back in the 90's.
