   Too bad Eric Clapton hadn’t lived in Hamilton….

   What a lucky child!
   If I fell from 90 feet I made a bigger hole… and I don’t think I would survive!

   If you have Firefox with Image Zoom extension, you can zoom in on that picture and make out there his nose & chin hit.

   He landed on his back, so it’s just shadows.

   Also, had he landed face-down it’s unlikely his face would have been uninjured.

   I have another shot of it, from a slightly different angle, which is much more crisp than this shot.

   GOT YA! Just a little April Fools humor a little early.

   Made you look!

   I am sorry but I must agree with Jimbo this just is not possible. The imprint is not consistent with what a fall would leave either. The indentation for the arms should be shallower if not nonexsistent.

   I suspect April Fool’s pranksters at work.

   Don’t know if the picture is real, but it is a legitimate story.

   This was on the front page of the Toronto newspapers yesterday. Totally legit.

   How did he break his legs if they didn’t even hit the ground?

   And what about his ribs? Are they all okay?

   :/

    Canadians are hard to kill. You don’t want to know how I know that…

    It’s not the imprint of a boy from Canada; it’s the imprint of a fairy from Derbyshire.

    I live in Hamilton, and this was in the papers for a few days. The kid’s bike was stored on the balcony. He used it to climg high enough to look over, the bike shifted and he fell over. As the caption points out the ground was soft from rain (and from snow melt), and absorbed the impact of the hit. Anyone can ‘break’ a limb not have it shatter - it’s called ‘hairline’.
