>> [_] Anon 3439821 i've seen this several times but i've never found out how seriously injured he was from that
>> [_] Anon 3439825 >># >Jake Brown, who had a spectacular crash in Thursday night's "Big Air" skateboard competition at the X Games, was released from the hospital on Saturday. >He suffered a lung contusion and a right scaphoid (wrist) fracture and will have surgery next week for the wrist fracture, X Games officials said. A CT scan on Friday on Brown's liver was negative, and he was revealed to have a vertebrae fracture which was a preexisting medical condition. >Speaking in a phone interview from the hospital with ESPN's Sal Masekela before he was released, Brown said: "I'm happy to be talking to you ... [the fall] doesn't look so hot on TV. It looks like my head is about to fly off my neck. I guess there was some luck involved. I'm happy to be talking to you."

>> [_] Anon 3439910 >># I always wondered why Tom Pettys' free falling never sounded the way I remembered it in the past. Thanks to the compression in this flash I could relive a time long gone, so you have my thanks OP.
>> [_] Anon 3439918 >># thanks! sounds like something from right after the event. still wonder if he could go back to having a normal life after that or if complications showed up later on (maybe the surgery wasn't successful).
>> [_] Anon 3439923 >># according to his wiki he's still a big name in the sport and I don't think any injuries were permanent.
>> [_] Anon 3439929 >># aha, thanks!

>> [_] Anon 3400446 what did he do wrong? just forgot to hold on to the board?
>> [_] Anon 3400460 Is he okay?
>> [_] Anon 3400461 ouch
>> [_] Anon 3400463 >># A wild guess since I don't skateboard, but it looks like he was still pushing his feet down on his skateboard when he made it over the edge, so he pushed the board away and himself closer to the middle of the ramp.

>> [_] Anon 3204781 Manager: Here, new sponsor, put these on. Skater: Dude, these are like 4 sizes too big. Manager: What do you care, they're free, and you're a high-school dropout who's bet his entire livelihood on the 5-8 years of viable athleticism you can squeeze out of your life before being cast aside for someone younger and cooler that the next generation of over-privileged teenage boys can identify with. Skater: Dude... that's like... a lot of words... but ok, man. Are they like going to pay me or something? Manager: Only if you put on the god damn shoes already and get out there. Skater: If you say so... Manager: Also, about that life insurance policy-

>> [_] Anon 3204788 What's the proper way to not die in this situation?
>> [_] Anon 3204796 >># try to hit the ground on your feet with bent knees, and tumble with your momentum. You're still going to break some limbs, but it will minimize damage.
>> [_] Anon 3204820 and that is why i stay away from extreme sports Arts. Not worth to die for, don´t care how popular you can get with skateboarding/free climbing and probably they think they will get famous and think they are really cool...Fuck that shit, once you are dead you dead and there is no coming back ever again.
