South African bodybuilder Sifiso Lungelo Thabathe dies after a backflip attempt goes wrong. The accident occurred in his home town of Umlazi, just south of the coastal city of Durban. Thabathe was being introduced to the crowd and making his way to the center of the gymnasium, where he tried to execute a back-flip, which Body Building South Africa chief Wayne Price told South Africa's News24 was Thabathe's “signature” move.
Thabathe attempted to wow the crowd on with that move, which he had executed flawlessly in when he won the under-23, over-75 kilogram division at the Muscle Mulisha Grand Prix. As Thabathe walks to the center of the gymnasium dressed in a black Speedo and ankle socks, the emcee lauds him as a “world champion” as the crowd begins to cheer and applaud.
At that point, Thabathe thrusts his body into the air to begin his back-flip, but he fails to make a full rotation. Instead, he lands on the back of his neck, which sends him bouncing onto his side, where he remained motionless as two trainers came to his aid.
He was rushed to the hospital where he died on arrival. It's believed that Thabathe broke his neck.We suspect, because he was wearing socks this time, that he slipped or didn't get enough momentum and landed horribly on his head. We hope people think twice before sharing video of the accident, which social media networks appear to be working hard to delete as people keep reposting it. Thabathe's family are "very upset” over its recirculation.

I don't know if he made it or not...couldn't find any details
By the looks of it in the video (along with the lack of help by his "friends") it doesn't look so good.
