Worst fall I have EVER seen...

I used to do a good bit of mountain biking. Ive now moved mostly to road, but the fall this mountain biker took is the worst I have ever seen... Im surprised he survived it.

Download the video at the end. Its not gory or anything, just incredible...

I once fell off a cliff. It wasn't much fun, and I haven't done it since then. I'd rather go bungee jumping. It give the same adrenaline rush and feeling of freedom without the nasty complications of the sudden stop at the bottom.

Oh shit, that was some serious terrain they were riding. Man, when he stepped off the bike, he just didnt know that there was no ground to step on..that feeling must have sucked. The guys watching it were just like "oh shit, oh hell, oh fuck" kinda funny. Damn.

I think the actual dialogue was "Oh, fuck me" and then at the end like 10 seconds after they asked if he was OK, "No, not really..."

That's a pretty sick spill, but nothing compares to seeing a random drunk guy jump head first off your second story balcony of the fraternity house. And I really am serious, happened last week, he got out of hospital with a broken jaw, 3 missing teeth, and one fucking huge headache. Pretty damn lucky if you ask me...
