I'd give him a 10 for the perfect landing.
he's in good condition unbelievably.
I think it's a Ford Ranger w/Edge package.

If it had been me, the paramedics would have left me in the vehicle due to the smell of crap in my drawers.

That looks like quite a ride. It would be something to have been one of the cars on the road where he landed.

Pays to watch your tire inflation!
Never know when it will save your life. I'm not sure what pressure is right for a 70 ft. fall.

He might need a new front bumper...otherwise good to go.

I imagine that he's going to have back problems for the rest of his life. I don't think my sport suspension would have helped much.

Would make a great commercial for Ford (if it is truly a ford)
Launch off a 70ft dive...no problem.

So, 700 psi would be a good starting point- then fine tune from there.

It looks like one of those "Demolition Derby" toy trucks, the kind that you push in the bumper and all of the doors and wheels fly off.

That is a person who had better do something with his life after this point. Because someone up above was definitely watching out for him.

If it’s happened before, I would sue the crap out of the highways department.
