Popular Dancehall performer Roxanne "Bumpa" Evans recently died after attempting to pull off a dangerous move while in a headstand.
Video of the incident shows Bumpa twerking while in a headstand while another dancer, Momo, is positioning herself to run and jump over Bumpa. However, things didn't go as planned, and Momo landed on Bumpa, breaking her neck.
Dancehall choreographer Stacy Xpressionz addressed the incident, telling the Jamaica Observer, "I've seen other dancers attempt it and land on their hands, back and head and seriously injure themselves. As you know, one dancer would go on their head and the other one would 'chuck tru' their legs and land. But what some people try to do is flick (flip) instead 'cause it's easier. The thing is, it looks easy, but when you're about to attempt it, you will see that it's not really easy. You need to know the right techniques and you need a lot of space before you jump. The truth is, me and Shelly (Callum, the other co-creator) have never seen anybody execute the move properly."
