SO, they say that they have the best and most qualified medical personnel, but they allow a witnessed fall of 50ft and obvious loss of consciousness person to get up, move, and walk. He should have been put in a C-collar and put on a hardboard and taken to the hospital.
He did go to the hospital after. . "I guess I've got a fracture in one of my vertebras, but it's pretty minor supposedly, so I came out all right."
He also sustained bruises to his liver and lung, and a mild concussion. The liver injury is what's keeping him under watch at California Hospital Medical Center in downtown Los Angeles.
"I'm going to check out today," said the Carlsbad athlete, whose wrist injury is a small bone fracture. "I'm just waiting on an X-ray, and they want to make sure my liver's not still bleeding. I just want to get out of here, dude."
Lucky that fractured vertebrae was not in his neck, letting him up and walk like that....DEAD or paaralyzed.
