That guy can thank his lucky stars someone happened across him at the right time.

Wow, what an awful way to go. It's totally hopeless if you're not lucky like this guy. I'd never want to be the last guy in a group; by the time the others figure out you fell and hike back to you it's too late. I don't know much about this hobby, but isn't there some safety measure that would give you better chances of survival?

Always have a partner. Stop and let one go and then that person stop to watch the next come down. It's really difficult to do in trees like that but the alternative is stuff like this.

That video really shows how deeply impacted one can get in a tree well. Yikes!
