According to multiple news outlets, action sports icon Travis Pastrana was hospitalized in Florida on Saturday when a BASE jump stunt went wrong.
The horrifying scene was captured on video, where it appears Pastrana deployed his ‘chute a little too late, causing him to hit the ground with force.
According to WSVN, “A spokesman for the production said that the stuntman suffered a broken pelvis, but he has had surgery, is feeling a lot better and can’t wait to get back to doing what he loves.”
Here is more from TMZ Sports:
Ft. Lauderdale Fire Chief Stephen Gollan tells TMZ Sports the incident happened on Saturday morning, when a video crew was shooting in the area of Las Olas Blvd. and Andrews Ave.
“A stunt during that event did not go as planned resulting in a hard landing of a parachutist that jumped from the Hyatt Hotel,” Gollan said in a statement.
Thankfully Pastrana is expected to make a full recovery. Get well soon, TP.
