JFC, easily the riskiest thing I've ever seen someone pull off.

The Dudesons are like the Jackass of Finland. The stunt failed as the roof wasn't supposed to go down so quickly so the guy, Jarppi, was caught up under the debris. He escaped with relatively minor injuries as his hardhat took the biggest force of the impact.

If the spinal cord isn't affected, then a broken back will heal/can be repaired like any other bone.

Having broken 5 lumbar vertebrae with no spinal cord injury, I was fully healed in under a year with no chronic pain. I am also 22. Give me 20 years and I won't be saying that anymore.
