Don't automatically assume that the guy who survived was the lucky one. The extent and long term implications of his injuries were not reported. I doubt you could walk away from a fall like that.

This happened about a month ago, has already been featured on here; it was also mentioned on BBC News 24 earlier today, so will probably come round again on that as the day progresses.

He broke both legs, his spine, his right arm, his pelvis and had brain injuiry and abdomen injuries too. But, he is now conscious, is expected to walk again, has had 9 operations was castigated by his wife for touching up one of the nurses and she says his days of window-cleaning are over. Cant understand why she says that, he lived didnt he
