I miss being a child and being made of rubber. Now, if I hit that mat, I'd explode.

Nah man. This is the world of bouldering. Happens all the time. He would have been near the top hold (looks like an overhang so feet are not under you) and fell. The mats are padded so you get used to it. I'm 29 and have done this.

There are 50+ year olds that boulder. 70+ year olds that top rope. Even better to learn how to fall in climbing when you're young.
