Good instincts.

Could very well have saved his life with that last second twist to land on his back.

edit: more impressive, he got back up and won the gold on on a later run.

Yeah, very adept. I think it was anything but instincts though... extreme sportsmen have experience with falling.

I give the snowmobile a 9.5 for a nice smooth riderless landing.

Experience and training are the only things that will prompt someone to do that on a fall.

It is obvious he has much of both. The landing was flawlessly timed.

it would have had a different outcome if he landed on flat ground. At least the slope helped ease the fall.

that's scary as heck though.

Very nice recovery, but where do they get the 120 feet at? looks more like 30-40 ft to me.
