Lucky Skier Fall
Skier Stefan Ager falls a couple of hundred feet from the peak of a mountain in the Alps. Comes out completely unscathed.
As a boarder with my fair share of hospital bills, I can't get my head around how lucky this guy was.

I like the bit at the end when he cries out in pain before realising that he hasn't actually hurt himself.
How embarrassing for him though! He would probably rather have a broken leg or anus after that than walk away uninjured.

I think it was more a cry of shock than pain.
Probably a bit winded too.

There's no embarrassment in that. Give it a shot - I bet you scream like a little girl all the way down, and for weeks after. I sure as hell would. I reckon he was very composed considering. Top marks to him.

I was making the assumption that he soiled himself.

The odd thing is
I was fine watching the fall itself, but the first minute was really triggering my vertigo.

I think that is the case quite often
Vertigo usually stops bothering people, in the moments after they fall off the cliff,ledge,bridge,plank that they were standing on ;)
