Cape, thanks for sharing this story with us.

After looking through the pictures of this job, its obvious that this could have had a much worse outcome. The structural damage is quite scary and could have caused so many more injuries.

Speedy recovery to the injured members.

Amazing. Sounds like it was a real S-show. Thank God it wasn't worse. It looks like the broken back was caused by landing on his bottle. The new Lo-pro, flexible airpacks should mititage these types of injuries.
