Adam Colton sustained serious injury after a 400ft fall due to a wing collapse on his speed flying rig. Sir Colton has been a driving force behind the recent downhill skateboard (slash freestyle longboarding) in part to his videos and contributions to the product/brand development at Loaded Boards and Orangatang Wheels. He mentioned that he expects to make a full recovery and we hope it’s a speedy one at that!

Official verbiage from his Facebook Page:

Brocken monster. Broken neck, fractured lower back. Crack right jaw, chipped teeth, bruised lung, cut kidney, sure lucky to be alive, very close to being paralyzed… Will make a full recovery and fly and smile another day. Full report down the line. My spine protector saved life.

If you’re unfamiliar with Adam’s contributions, this video will shed some light. From 2007:
