I can't believe he made a 720

I don't really keep up with what the kids these days are up to—although the guy in this video is 33—so today was the first I heard about this incident. Dude falls some 45 feet and walks away with only some internal bruising and a few fractured bones (vertebrae schmertebrae).

The way he falls is interesting

At first he flails around. But as soon as he realizes he's going to take a huge fall, he goes slack with his feet down and his body at an angle. That guy has clearly practiced for that sort of incident.
Also, that competition where guys go flying on their skateboards at ridiculous heights and for ridiculous lengths, is the coolest and most dangerous thing around. I can't believe they aren't wearing football pads or something while they skate.
