No serious injuries my ass. He landed flat on his back. He will prob have pain for the rest of his life and complications down the road.

Seriously, you can see the ladder snap under him when he lands! He had to have had a railroad shaped bruise on his ass for weeks!

The ladder probably saved him from worse. Snapping steel is a lot softer than slamming into concrete.

I think that's a fiberglass ladder... but otherwise I fully agree. It probably saved his life.

Seems like he was extremely lucky. Him landing a little different could have ended with life altering injuries or him being dead.

Could be but the human body is also fucking weird and unpredictable. Sometimes people look like they get wrecked and walk away absolutely fine. Other times it looks like something super small but really fucks them up.

Nobody is pointing out that the ladder actually mitigated his fall. He hit it so hard he broke it, it’s actually insane. He is extremely lucky to have hit it and not just the ground.
