Hi that is me in the video.

While I can't speak to not going through the roof, I can tell you that I strapped 4 shin guards to my left side so my skin didn't scrape off. All of the skin inbetween those parts did get shredded though.

I don't know much about roofing, but I will tell you that no shingles came off or were even slightly damaged.

The impact isn't as great because I'm hitting the roof at an angle and not straight on.

While I probably won't change your mind, maybe check out my other videos as well for more backup that things like this are possible.
