Looks like he crashed into the worst possible spot when he first hit it.

Gee I hope he didn't damage too much of the rock face there.
It all looks like world heritage stuff to me.

I agree pweedas,
No one stops to think of the poor innocent rock face that has taken billions of years to erode to that awesome shape, only to be destroyed by some thrill seeker, within milliseconds.
I think its time to talk about culling base jumpers before all the natural rock formations are reduced to a human skin and blood covered eye sore.
I mean , we are in the cliffs natural environment, so they should be protected.
Im sick of hearing all the over blowen news reports that we should start culling cliff faces when it is us protruding in their natural environment.
I mean, you have more chance, statistically, of being killed in a car accident than being taken out by a cliff face.

Yes. Cut eye and chin with a few stitches and a few broken or sprained bones but nothing too severe.

Oh,.. I think he might have chipped a nail too.

I know you're joking, but really we do already destroy a lot of the natural beauty of cliffs by puting ****ty looking fences along them.

I'd imagine there was a fair bit of (s)hail damage to the car after that

doesnt matter how well you pack, still can get random 180 or full line twist on opening btw. especially when terminal.
