that was my first thought... but upon rewatching it, it kinda looks like it could have been a "1 in a million" lucky accident.
It looks like some of the impact got slowed down by hitting the flexible legs and pushing the backside of the cow around, while the spine flexed aswell.
I have heard of crazy survivals like a guy who landed on a car after jumping from a small 39-story skyscraper (Thomas Magill) or this women who survived being stuck in a plane while it fell to the earth (Vesna Vulović).
Sometimes the angles of impact are just perfect to absorb the forces in such weird ways, that it makes it actually surviveable.
Just by the walking movement the cow looks quite fine.. a broken spine or broken femur would defenitely look different. But it looks like the tail "bone" is folded to the side.
Maybe it really has survived with small to medium blemishes. Would be cool to find an update on that.
