X-Games Video: Jake Brown's unbelievable 40 foot fall

August 3, 2007 | mark | Startups

Jake Brown fell 40 feet and landed so hard in the transition at the X-Games last night that his shoes flew off. Forward to the end of the vid and watch the slowmo version.

Brown spent Thursday night in a local hospital, where he was treated for a bleeding liver, two sprained wrists, a bruised lung, and whiplash to his back and neck. He didn’t break a single bone. Unbelievable.
