40 Foot Fall

[Jamin_Mayer]

This is a skateboard accident, but it shows how painful it could be if one of us fell from a great distance. (If you have young kids, you may want to view this first).

Ouch

These guys are pros at what they do. He just somehow made a mistake. He is recovering well too. It's a miracle he lived.

Those guys take as many hard hits as we do whips to the face from branch tips.

I saw that on the History Channel eariler on Shockwave. Looks like he took a bad hit.

I was watching the big air on x games when he wrecked. He bobbled on the vert of the ramp. The next night he walked into the arena (slow with a cane) and presented a trophy. The crowd went ape $#!t. Hardcore

I can't beleive the got him up after that.....big NO NO. Should have C-spined him until the X-rays were cleared. Anywhere else they would not have let him up.

His shoes came off. After being hit by a car in March, I now judge impacts partially based on that. I lost my shoes too and it was by far the biggest impact my body has ever experienced. It was no 40' foot fall, and I dont even want to imagine what that would be like. Good to hear hes recovering well. PPE like the helmet = lifesaver
