The (only) benefit of cracking two vertebrae and crushing two discs is that once a week I visit my pretty little 25 year old vietnamese physiotherapist, Huong, and she gives me the best massage, paid for of course, by my good friends at veterans affairs! Cheers, Terry. (ex-Idiot) 
Now I never jumped out of perfectly good plane but I have done the dope on a rope from a Helecopter. Terry I too have done the back smash. Mine was the IDIOT deal. I smashed a show winning lowered truck with all the hydraulics to go into a mountain wall after a night of heavy drinking at about 75 mph

. Broke every major bone on the left side of my body and crushed two discs and smashed one vertebre

. Took quite awhile before I was back on a bike much less walking.
Only I don't get massage deal,
