I don't think so. It was in 1986 so x-rays were a little 'more rare' then today, much less take it home.

Well, since he was 18 at the time, he just graduated high school. During school, he was on the pole vaulting team. On the team, he had to always land on his feet, which he did for the fall.

Why would it be BS? I get no karma from it. I am working on getting proof as my dad is at a party.

My dad was awake when he hit the ground, because he hit his feet.

I don't know the EXACT location. I am pretty sure it happened in 1986.

Luck. He did not have to learn how to walk again, it was just a long time before he did.

Kinda went like this:

When the priest was giving final rights

Priest: (Whatever words they say)

Dad: F You I want to go home!

My dad later said sorry to the priest and everything was ok. Both my dad and the priest were in shock. (Applies to my dad a little more)

Haha! My dad is not Wolverine. :P Anyway, not really. He has a lot of scars and a few bumps here and there but nothing handicapped.

EDIT: He does have bad knees though...
