Broken heel (calcaneus) from a 15 Foot Fall off of a Boulder while doing a Handstand!

When you slow it down frame by frame you can see the landing, I was unfortunately a good friend and took some steps to help when there was nothing I could have done, I should have just kept filming but oh well. Anyway, we had to carry him a half mile out of the canyon and he needs surgery for a calcaneus.

breaking your calcaneous is almost imposible. if you actually broke your calcaneous and nothing else youve done something very special

@alexkkowalski This was a friend of mine, he was wearing climbing shoes at the time and I'm sure aided in breaking just his calcaneous which was luckily the only thing broken in the fall.

you should have landed on your hands, it would have been cooler! =)

If we're going all out how about having just landed in a full on ol' skool break dance style head spin!

You guys went there to boulder or canyoning?

I broke mine Right foot Calcaneum during boudering, not much height drop maybe 3 or 4 meters( probably around your height of drop). But I landed with legs straight. Unable to roll to break my fall, just use both feet for landing. Fracture have been ruled out for left leg, thank goodness. 6 weeks on wheelchair and now on crutches. Best of wishes to you and all similar cases :)
