Dude sounds like the most positive person ever. Took pride in his job that many don’t see as glamorous. Fell from a height not rivaled by many. Lost his brother. Suffered many health complications as a result, but says “at least I can walk still”

[@Favouredmojoe]

I feel bad for the brother. Being skewered by a fence sounds like an awful way to go

[@Wolf62601]

Oh no he wasn’t skewered. No no no. He was split in half by the fence. Gruesome.

hopefully it happened so fast that all he felt was sudden impact. He didn't suffer for long

[@michaelamundson4715]

To be fair, he survived the same way most early air pilots survived, which is jump onto something sturdy with hopefully the aerodynamics of an elephant, and pray that terminal velocity is gentle on whatever part of you survives.

I heard that the platform had wedged between the walls of an alleyway, crumpling into a v shape and Moreno was in the low point so he’s velocity at the end was drastically decreased by this. Similar effect to crumple zones in cars to lower the impact force for the occupants. Still an absolutely ridiculous amount of luck involved. Great video
