Could be worse, we just had a farmer that was coyote hunting paralyze himself.
He was driving down pretty tame terraces on a friends land without a seatbelt on at a pretty good clip (40mph). Turns out the last one was a good one, truck went about 70' in the air. He bounced off the ceiling, landed on the console and splattered 3 lower vertebre. He eventually steered the truck into a tree to stop it since he couldn't move his feet. 40 years old and has a 5% chance of ever walking again last I heard.
Oddly the 2004 F-250 diesel supposidly sustained little damage after flying half as far as the Wright Brothers did.
