i think he landed on the wet lawn so it shoulda been softer. they carted him off on a strecher, and not a body bag, so at least he's alive.

I fell just over 20 feet and landed flat on my back on gravel. I didn't have any lingering injuries, concussion (this was in the 80's and was classified a 7 day headache) and a sore leg. I was only 11 or 12 years old I don't know if that helped or not. If my kid climbs on the neighbors roof with his friends I'm going to hit him with a belt. Quote:

A 30ft drop means you will hit the ground at about 50km/h.
