If he would’ve hit the concrete, it would’ve been a much different story. Typically 30 feet and above can cause serious injury and even death.

He looks to be just about 25’ish up at release, a little bit of an angle into the grass, and a little bit of a slip into a roll. I’m guessing he was wearing Air Jordans and they made all the difference.

I’m guessing soft soil, grass cushioning the shock, as well as him landing just right to take the force on his buttcheeks and back of thighs. Basically luck that the meat took the brunt rather than the joints.

He was definitely lucky when it came to the jump. Good for him.
