Slow motion video is painful to watch, especially where he busts off a rock outcropping with his crotch. The music doesn't help, so you might wish to turn down the sound. Injury tally: compression fracture of the T12 vertebra, 5 stitches to the eye, 6 stitches to the chin, severely sprained back, wrist and hand, multiple bruised areas.

The whole time watching slow motion I was thinking "oh man that guy must be dead as a doornail. He can't even prepare for hitting the wall" ... and then it went to full speed. Wow, that must be terrifying. I'll stick to 4 wheels, thank you

haha, bad luck that this happened to him, but super bad luck when he hits the wall in the exact place a big rock triangle is standing out

Also for your viewing 'pleasure' (cringe) - Jeb Corliss' wingsuit crash in South Africa - clips a rock ledge with his legs, but maintains enough composure to pull his chute. 2 broken ankles, broken fibula, torn ACL.

Forget slow motion that looked way worse in real time.

that's what ya call an "off-heading opening". when skydiving , usually not a big deal ... base jumping , that's a different story .

I can understand the allure of BASE jumping. That is also the reason why I'll never do it.

I did enough skydiving to know I would not be base jumping . I did play ground crew for a buddy who did some illegal jumps off a broadcast tower . scared the shit out of me just watching .
