Topic: X-Games Heavy Hitter!

Anyone else see this on the X-Games?

I think the hit Jake took was more impressive than the stunt itself

Wow.  How is he doing now?  That had to compress his spine.  I'd be worried about internal injuries.

I was watching that on the flight  back from Boston last Thursday.  Dude got up and walked away after lying there unconscious for a few minutes, and appeared to be completely fine even later on in the evening!  He dropped about 40 feet straight down!

Here's another good one from the same x-games.  Scott Murray's unsuccessful attempt at a double back-flip on a dirt bike:

He bruised his lungs and liver.

From what I understand he'll make a full recovery with time.  But it's amazing he's not dead, let alone at least have a broken something or other.
