Wow, I'm amazed that those are his only injuries. I think a lot of people don't realize how fast someone under canopy is falling before they pull the toggles and change that downward momentum into horizontal momentum. I can't remember exactly I recall my buddy saying landing without slowing down is something akin to jumping two stories, not to mention all the cheese grating he did on his way down.

Woah. Tough jump for that guy. Glad he survived.

Pretty stupid to post an illegal jump on the Internet though.

It's not an illegal jump.

Wait, Ammon McNeely is already back jumping?

But seriously, glad the guy's okay, hitting that flake looked pretty nasty.. Great footage though
