What else can you say?? And yes, although he is in the hospital and recuperating, this could have been much worse

 

[ShearerM4]

Yawzah indeed... you don't realise how far from the ramp he is at first.

 

[fender]

Can't imagine what its like being in the air and knowing you're so screwed.

 

[monkeyhappy]

i went over a see saw when a fat boy sat on the other side once and landed in the middle, but if i multiply that by about 100 must of been what he was feeling! that must have been some mad rush though!

 

[Tom]

That's actually quite amazing.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yawzah indeed... you don't realise how far from the ramp he is at first.

It's incredible, when I saw it the first few times I was only really looking at how far up from the top of the pipe he was. It's 25 feet more to the ground, 40 FEET!!

 

[night]

"His shoes!"

 

[Hans]

Next Mick Foley...

 

[Bobby]

Another video, this was as it was live.

What a douchebag that co-commentator is, the guy is laying there possibly dead, what does one of ESPN's finest say? "Wow, I can't beleive he hit that 720".

 

[Callum]

Thats tony hawk. lol

 

[Fernandez]

At least he's alright though.

 

[ShearerM4]

I guess you'd think that turning your back to the ground as he falls could have been a bad mistake... but is seems that it definitely saved him from breaking legs, face etc..!!!

 

[$teauA]

HOLY S*IT

I had no idea the guy got up and walked away, that's f*cking insane

 

[leungtl]

Damn. Just... damn.

At least he walked away from that fine, that didn't make me sick watching the slow mo replays...

 

[The Don't]

HIS SHOOOOES POPPED OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is he so bloody fascinated by his shoes popping off?

 

[leungtl]

I think it's because the shoes flying off showed an illustration of the force which he landed, but that's just a guess.

 

[Klobb]

with the force he hit the ground with, there must be something wrong with him thatll come to light soon

 

[gunner_fan]

"His shoes have fallen off"

I can't believe he would be dim enough to try that, but still amazing.

 

[RobbieD_PL]

He didn't get away without anything after that:

(He) remains hospitalized after suffering bruises of the liver and lung, stress fractures in his vertebrae and a small fracture on the top of one hand.

EDIT: It's also a bitter irony after making the best trick in the comp he falls from the highest point possible.

Still that's a great story of survival.

 

[anas123]

wow!!! F***** H*** how did he survive that!!

he must of fell 50 F***** feet and walk away!!!

turning onto his back saved him man
