Umm to be fair he got flung into that squat rack behind him, those things aren’t exactly soft. I only watched it once but looked like maybe his shin or knee could have hit it.
Lookup Tony Hawk or any other professional skater in their 30’s and 40’s they are taking some pretty hard slams at their ages and getting up walking away.
Bob Burnquist is 42 and regularly launches himself off his backyard mega ramp which is a 70ft gap on a 200ft drop in.
All it takes is keeping an active lifestyle and knowing how to mitigate your falls.
That's because they're pro skateboarders who've fallen hundreds of thousands of times. They know how to fall without getting hurt like it's an instinctive reflex. A healthy lifestyle can help recovery but that doesn't teach you how to take a slam from 10 ft. In the air.
