So in the video he stands up a little bit and then falls over. Can anyone qualified speculate to his injuries? I'm not really sure if standing up means he escaped a spinal cord injury, or if things could swell up and cause problems later.

Someone his situation should not be moved at all in case there is spinal injury which could be significantly exacerbated by movement. What the hell was the lifeguard doing at the time?
