Irish skeleton slider Sean Greenwood went airborne after a crash at the Olympics, but was somehow able to continue his run after a quick recovery.
He was travelling at 75 mph, so it all happened in the space of a few seconds. But when you break it down frame by frame you see that he actually crashes, flies into the air, lands upside down, flips the sled back over, crawls onto it, and finishes the run.
Wild.
