Magic shoes. They kept him alive. Watch as the shoes leave his body to go do their "magic".

Same here. If he wasnt dead i figured it would be a couple weeks before he woke up!

That's my daily dilema....Walmart Death shoes....Magic Shoes....Walmart Death Shoes...Magic shoes. Perhaps if he wore the walmart death shoes Lucifer would have give him a pass for the whole run. "I grant you 1 720 on the 70' gap and a safe landing on the 1/4 pipe for buying my shoes". It appears the magic shoes are sponsored by God and everything else is sponsored by Monster.

Im not sure that "walked away" is the term I would use, did you see him,,, very wobbly knees, looked like a bad drunk!!! But the half assed smile was priceless....

I can't believe he didn't break anything either. I do give the kid credit though... He knows how to fall & that saved him. Instead of falling back down ready to do a belly flop with his hands out, he turned around and tried to roll it out. I used to lifeguard and we could jump off of HB pier into waist deep water by timing the swell and kicking your feet out. (Instead of going straight down, you make a sharp turn - still hit the bottom but not hard and flat on your back).

He had a ton of time to see his life flash before his eyes in slo-mo.
What goes thru a guys mind when you know your fawked....and you are still gaining altitude?

Those guys spend a lot of time on their asses learning not to kill themselves.
Something tells me they know how to take a big fall and not die.

They should have NEVER let him walk away like he did....He could of had (and probably does) massive internal injuries, or broken back and not know it!! I still get the chills watching that video!!
