Wired magazine actually ran a "How To" article after this on how to survive falling 40 feet. Their last piece of advice was "Be lucky, Australian, or both." Lol this guy is freaking intense. I would have probably been paralyzed. That's why I don't skate. I leave it to people with reflexes.
i love at 0:40 as the dude is laying on the floor the announcer goes wow i can't believe he nailed a 720.. at this point the guy could be paralyzed.. but hey.. he nailed it there chip !
@MadisonEve89 He was clearly in shock and in denial that his friend might have just possibly died on TV. I don't think it was really a case of him being excited about the 720 after such a horrific fall, but more of just him desperately looking for a positive spin on the situation.
at 40 seconds: tony said..."i cant belive he landed the 720" when Jake just fell over 50 feet and landed flat on the ground and his shoes popped off from the impact...
that is incredible that he even survived that, but what is really incredible is how he walked away from it...! "i feel like im watching an episode of heroes" LOL
1st: *guy could be paralyzed* "Ahh man I can't believe he landed that 720!"
2nd: *replay* "HIS SHOES FELL OFF!!! HIS SHOES JUST FELL OFF!"
They may have the best medical staff in the business but I think we need some new announcers...

There should be a button they can press that will quickly slide the floor to the side to let them land in water or foam or something.
