...and the dude walks away from it. :stunned:

It might not be the worst but the slow-mo replay at the end of the video just makes me cringe. The man is damn lucky not to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Wow. That is insane that he just walked away. Do you know if he had any injuries after that?

Fractured vertebrae, fractured wrist and a couple of fractured ribs. Nothing cleanly broken.

Isn't this from last year? This was all over the news then.

Wowww. I've seen some pretty bad bails, but this one is up there. I can't believe his feet weren't shattered!

Bloody nora - I bet he was in agony when he walked away - but indeed he's a lucky bugger to be walking.

Although there's been apparently fifty-odd people who have survived 100ft falls, which is amazing in itself - but yeah, this video ... ... geez. :eek:

...

Nowhere in the same league, but a couple of years ago when I took a spill and crashed flat on my back so hard it knocked the wind right out of me, I was in a fair bit of pain - but I got up right after and hobbled about with my camera (I was doing a day's filming for a documentary) - but yeah, that hurt a lot, so if I times my pain by ten and then some, I'd possibly have an idea of how much pain that dude must have been in as he was walking off - as we saw, he was being supported as he walked very gingerly - I'm familiar (to a far, far, far lesser degree comparatively, mind you) with that kind of pain ... it's not at all nice. :eek:

It's just making my back hurt thinking about it and seeing that video as well...geez...astonishing stuff, that video. :eek:
