Skater falls 50 feet but walks!

[Electrix]

Jake Brown falls 50 feet in the X-Games 13 Big Air event and lands on his back ... and guess what. The guy walked away!

​

The slow-mo's start at around 3 minutes.

His shoes popping off was great!

 

[kane9321]

[Sensi]

It is amazing how he twisted his body to land.

 

[unstoppable]

Ha!

 

[PLAS]

Claire Bennet? anyone?

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

[The Amazing Lee]

Awesome...Hope the guy is ok after that.

 

[Spoarz™]

Now that is cool.

 

[Wolfwood]

Haha oh ****, my sister was trying to tell me about this yesterday, but it didn't sound like a big deal. That was insane though, glad to see he could get up.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Lucky boy, to walk away from that.

 

[sinewave]

that's extreme!!!

DO THE DEW!!!!

 

[Ice-man]

I love how they say he fell 50ft yet did the math later on in the video and he only fell 30 -35 ft. off by 15ft'

he went about 15ft over the coping of a 15-20 ft halfpipe.


hard fall none the less, amazing 720 grab though **** was insane, hawk should have done his signature 900 grab...

 

[MildSoss]

Dayom.

I'd be dead.

 

[PLAS]

the commentator said "I feel like I'm watching an episode of Heroes"

coolness and good to know he's okay

 

[MaskedManJRK]

Holy crap!

 

[_BB_]

Oh my god O_O

 

[scifiwolf]

Cool! I'm gonna go try that off my neighbor's roof! If he can walk away, I will too!

 

[Dodger]

Dude deserves to props for keeping cool staying calm and twisting his body to fall on his back to "break" his fall.

 

[AhabTheArab]

that was crazy. he needs to tie those sneaks up.

 

[Abaddon]

Holy ****. I know that hurt.

 

[Orko Is King]

Mr. Lucky...that's his new name.

 

[SalaciousVC]

saw that on the news,and laughed,but i hope he is okay

 

[Untilteld]

that was intense

 

[Dodger]

saw that on the news,and laughed,but i hope he is okay

Reports are that he just has a bruised lung. I never had a bruised lung so I don't know how much pain he's in, but that doesn't seem so serious. He walked away, so that's good.

Oh and I heard on SportsCenter that when they first approached him he wasn't breathing and appeared dead.
