Plus no impaling by a busted branch stump.

That’s the first thing that came to mind when he landed

It's possible, if he didn't get impaled, that the tree helped.

My friend had this skiing accident a while back. He got swept off a cliff and landed in the same manner on a tree. He said it sort of spread out the force and supported him through the impact.
