This is one of those things that if it happened in a movie you'd scoff at how unrealistic it was. Yet somehow, this actually happened. What's even more amazing is that this took place in Manhattan - you know he landed on concrete.

Talk about a guy I wouldn't want to get in a fight with. I'm guessing if he can survive a 47 story fall that he could survive a few punches to the jaw.

Holy moly! There is a case of landing "perfectly". Dude needs to be in Guiness book. Or maybe a lifetime supply of Guiness...something.
