kneepads and helmet = saved life.

Holy $hit!!! It's a good thing he landed on his side like that. If it was his legs, he would've broken them, if it was his head, he would've snapped his neck...Very, very close call with the reaper right there....

On a side, and lighter note. He comes from the country that designed our Zeta Platform, if that's any hint as to the toughness we can expect

Woah...my guy (who was arrested) ran from Wal-Mart, tried climbing down a 40-50ft wall but fell and landed on his feet. He broke both legs and had a protruding tib/fib fracture. He also broke both arms when he fell backwards..............j@ck@ss..... The guy in that vid is lucky as all hell.

I don't see how those skateboarders can maintain control and keep their board under them a lot of times when they're up in the air like that... A lot of times you'll see them reach under and hold on to it before they get back down to hit the landing again. I'm not coordinated enough for that haha!

I was actually watching that at the bar live. It was just a college bar, but everyone seemed to be into it, just because the ramps were so big. When he finally landed a decent trick the bar went nuts and the instant he started flailing his legs everyone said 'Ohhhh Shiiiiit'. It was nuts.

Notice they did not show the replay until he got up. They had to make sure he was alive first.

Another Note:: Did anyone happen to watch the 1999 WWF Pay per-view when Owen Hart died? I actually watched that happen too. Thats was extremly sad.
