X Games "Bad Crash" Last night

[Broker]

Skate boarder falls 50ft and eventually, after getting his wind back and regaining consciousness, actually walked to a strecher and went to the hospital.

I watched this live last night and almost got sick. So enjoy it

I was watching when it happened, too.

The first time they showed it I was like holy crap because something like exploded off of him. They showed it again and you could see that it was his shoes that went flying when he landed.

(I stopped watching after the first round of the best trick competition. Did the double back flip guy try again?)

i thought he broke his shins or something, you could see him spin in the air and then something come off. i'm really suprised you didn't see medics already running out to help him.

I saw it on the replay at 3 AM and jumped on YouTube during the commercial to see if I could watch it again. When they came back from commercial and the announcer kept saying "and his SHOES flew off" I couldn't help but think of Dane Cook:

The guy goes flying into the air, his shoes flew off. When you get hit by a car, sometimes your shoes will fly off. Sometimes your pants will come off. But I was not fortunate enough to see the pants portion on this strike...
The guy gets tagged okay, the greatest part of the story. He's in the air flipping around, this is how he lands on the other side of the car. He comes down perfectly on his feet and then he jumps in the air and he starts walking around, embarassed. He's trying to play it off like he didn't just get hit, by a car.
People around him are like..
--"Oh my god! Oh my god! Are you alright? Are you okay?"
He's like ..
--"I'm fine, I'm fine. Seriously, I'm fine. I'm a little bit hungry. But uh other than that I'm fi--"
--"No you should really sit down, you're bleeding from the ears."
--"I know, I know that. I do that. Every couple of weeks I empty the blood out of my own head, it's tradition in my family. Has anyone seen my shoes? I kicked them off in a fit of joy. I love getting struck by vehicles and sometimes I'll kick my shoes off in a fit of joy. I'm fine I'm just gonna go over here and puke shards of my own pelvis into this bush." *puking noises*

Nope, he wrecked his bike, but he was okay.

That was some accident. A hell of a height to fall from.

That's a pretty high fall! Hope he's alright.

That's a pretty high fall! Hope he's alright.

My daughter called me to tell me she saw a news bit saying he was ok and wants to return to competition. Give it solid day for the bruising to set in completely and he might just rethink coming back. The guy is lucky to not be in a chair or dead.

I know, it's like jumping out of the 4th floor of a building and walking away. Granted he landed on a bit of the slope which helped to break his fall and reduce the impact but it's still basically a four-story fall.

That will make the all time high light reel for sure, It's incedable he is alive

 

[ChrisChris]

One word. Ouch.

 

[dgridley]

45 foot fall and he walks away from it.. I guarantee he's gonna be sore from it tho. What a lucky guy!

I live right across the street from the 3rd largest
skate park in Canada....I've seen alot of "accidents"
but never anything like that guy!
That would be equivalent to what? A 4 story fall?
OUCHY!!!
