GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WTVR) – It is a symbolic moment that some people see as a time when you transition into adulthood. Walking across the stage to receive a high school or college diploma should be a moment to reflect and celebrate your accomplishments.

When graduate Robert Blank tried to celebrate the moment with a back flip on stage, it did not work out so well for him.
