Haven't seen anything like it.. He could have had a stress fracture that fully broke after landing.. kinda similar to Kevin Ware's broken leg.

Could have been what almost happened to me.

Fucked up my leg few weeks ago, bindings didnt release during a bad helicopter style bail. Felt leg flair up in pain as it twisted in my boot. Soar as fuck for past 3 weeks, and I went skiing yesterday and fucked it up some more after landing sketch on a sidehit.

Its probably a stress fracture, and if hes a big guy all of that compounding weight could def do some freaky shit, just need the right combination of physics to do the trick.

It only takes about 20lbs of pressure to break just about any bone. It all depends on how its applied.

My buddy broke his arm off the smallest kicker in the kid park... we've been lying saying he was trying a backflip off the biggest jump in the park.
