For those of you still confused on what the hell happen to me in France, here is a SHORT and BASIC version for the time being just to help those who care understand a bit more. This is NOT to explain the logistics of me as a wing suit pilot during this or any flight nor what exactly i did wrong as a pilot but that will come in better detail at later time to help pilots who need it.
I jumped from a 12,600ft (3,800m) mountain in nothing but a wingsuit and a deployable parachute. This specific planned flight down the mountain i had done before but i happen to fuck up pretty bad this time and fell into some trees instead at around 3,000ft (1100m). Luckily 2 workers, whom I owe my life to (Thanks Ben), working in the area found me randomly 3 hours after i crashed because apparently i was shouting for help. They called emergency, emergency got me to the hospital and my injuries were only, and i say only because i should be dead instead:
left scapula fracture
left acromian fracture
left neck abrasion
left clavicle fracture
3 left side rib fractures
left hemopneumothorax
grade 1 liver laceration
head trauma
multiple scalp lacerations
Ive required several surgeries and procedures so far to keep my condition stable which i can go into more specific when i understand them more. My whole upper body hurts even with all the drugs I've been offered and its been a struggle ever since I've been discharged from hospital care to care for myself alone but I'm no bitch, i handled it and am beginning to feel better. Thank you everyone for their kind words who contacted me when they heard the news and thank you even more to the people who played a physical role in helping me logistically with things here in europe and/or things back home in California Richard Webb, Michel Prout, Dane Klippel, Jon-o Miller, Alex Miziuk, Karo Bratek-Miziuk, Deb Joel, Drago Janjic, Andrew Volpe
I've been medically transported to Germany and am working on getting back home to California in the next week or so. Please save the Facebook questions to a later time because I'm a bit overwhelmed with life at the moment. I love you all and and glad to be alive to see your pretty faces again!!
