Man collapses during badminton game

A 56-second clip posted on the JB柔佛吹水站 Facebook page showed the elderly man actively participating in a men’s doubles badminton game.

After going back and forth with his opponents and returning a few serves, the man is seen walking backwards towards the edge of the court.

He then falls unexpectedly onto his back.

Other players then rush to his side before the clip ends.

Others try to resuscitate man

A second video in the Facebook post showed multiple people crowding around the elderly man while he lay unconscious.

 

A man in a turquoise shirt can be seen hitting the elderly man’s legs, attempting to startle him awake.

Another was seen pinching the elderly man’s toes, while a man in a luminous yellow top looked to be performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the body.

Internet users who saw the video were shocked and dismayed, with some suggesting that the elderly not exercise too intensely. Some also expressed hope that the man is doing fine.
