Mario hit a chunk of stryrofoam that was dislodged from the "SAFER" wall when Kenny Brack hit the wall just seconds before he had his accident. The SAFER wall is a 'soft' wall that has flat steel tubed in front of styrofoam - supposedly it will collapse when hit by a car and absorb some of the impact. When Brack hit the wall, evidently a chunk was dislodged and that's what Mario hit.
Mario is very lucky. Had he landed any other way, he would have been seriously injured or worse.
