Falling down the jagged mountains


Yeah I know SEALs are supposed to be badass, but no one is THAT badass. Nearly every bone would be broken if that were real. Compound fractures galore! Yet they just shake it off and keep on truckin...

In real life Marcus was paralyzed from the chest down after breaking his back. He crawled for over 9 hours following that

My friend who isn't even military had that happen to him while we were out hunting. F!cked up real good but walked away with a bad limp.

I am sure your friend did not fall down and crash his body into jagged rocks like they showed in this movie. Not only would their be many broken bones, there would have been concussions and brain damage as well.

Well they died.....I'd say that's pretty fu... up

I'm sure they were hurt but I'm not too surprised they were able to do it. Have you ever seen that show called I Shouldn't Be Alive? I watched one account about this woman who fell down a mountain and shattered her leg but managed to climb back up the mountain and run a mile until she found other hikers who had a phone. Can't remember what happened to her's but honestly you'll be surprised what you and your body can do when you're out of options.

I am not even sure why they had to keep jumping off mountains. Why didn't they find a different way down. I mean if you break you leg you are dead anyway.
