Aussie-Aussie-Aussie-Oy-Oy-Oy-Vey!

You will not believe this video of Jake Brown. While competing in yesterdays X Games in LA, this 32 year old man fell from over 40 vertical feet and somehow walked away. He is hospitalized today, but his injuries are not as serious as you would expect after seeing him fall 5 stories.

This video is truly shocking, but somewhat easier to watch when you know the outcome. Make sure you watch to the end to see the slow motion. He literally hits the ground so hard his shoes explode off his feet.

I didn't believe he could walk away until I heard he was an Aussie. Those folks are just not like anyone else.

PS: Terry and I are in a debate over the title of this post. He tells me no one has heard the phrase "Aussie-Aussie-Aussie-Oy-Oy-Oy." It's a cheer of national pride for Australians. Like "U - S - A! U - S - A!", but without the Confederate flags and tinged with less xenophobia.

Update: Apparently YouTube has removed the video due to copyright issues with whatever network aired the X Games. Good thing, I suppose - it was the stuff nightmares are made of.
