It's not uncommon for graduates to do something silly during the graduation ceremony.

It's pretty common for students to have things written on their caps.

It used to be much more popular for streakers to run across stage. But the times, they're-a-changin'! Nowadays, it's all about stunts.

This guy, Robert Jeffrey Blank, graduating from Michigan's Davenport University, decided to go the stunt route when walking across the Van Andel Arena stage in Grand Rapids on Sunday during commencement ceremonies. He shook hands with all the university's important people, walked across the stage and then attempted a back flip.

But things didn't work out so well for him.
