Missed Jump in "Jumping Over the Cow" or Luksong Baka



When playing "Luksong Baka" or Jumping Over the Cow, most often the jumper could not jump over the human obstacle (who acted as the cow) at the highest position. The most probable thing to happen, the jumper may bump the "human cow" as shown in the video.

"Luksong Baka" is a common Filipino game among children and teenagers. It requires no props. It is best to be played on grassy ground so to avoid injury. The danger of this game is when the "human cow" intentionally drop his self suddenly to the ground at the moment the jumper jumps over him. The jumper may not touch the "human cow" which can cause the jumper's sudden drop too to the ground. So play it on soft ground and NOT on cemented area so to avoid head injury or fracture.
