Ouch.
Compression Fracture of the T12 Vertebra, 5 stitches to the eye, 6 stitches to the chin, severely sprained Back, wrist and hand. multiple bruised areas.
I reckon he can consider himself lucky, could've been much worse.

That is an amazing video, quite captivating in slow motion with the music..........not so much in real time!
Lucky chap, he's probably got quite a squeaky voice now though!

Ouch, well he was lucky... Looks like he was a bit close in the first place and had a lot of control input in when he struck the cliff.

OK I must be mad because after watching that I still want to do a parachute jump.
And that looked like fun till it went wrong.

It looks to me that he also fell victim of the thermals that run along the rock face.
