    Skateboarder fell 40 feet

    Brown recounts his plunge at X Games
    Australian an instant celebrity after fall; he didn't even feel shoes fly off

    At the X Games Skateboard Big Air competition Thursday night, Brown was in the lead heading into his fifth and final run when he lost control during his second trick, sailed out away from the ramp’s platform and plunged about 40 feet onto his heels and then tailbone. He bruised his lung and liver, broke a wrist and a vertebra, and had his sneakers knocked off.

    Even though he could have been dead....a few seconds later the announcer says "I can't believe he did a 720." funny. haha
