Good instincts.

Could very well have saved his life with that last second twist to land on his back.

edit: more impressive, he got back up and won the gold on on a later run.

Yeah, very adept. I think it was anything but instincts though... extreme sportsmen have experience with falling.

I give the snowmobile a 9.5 for a nice smooth riderless landing.

Experience and training are the only things that will prompt someone to do that on a fall.

It is obvious he has much of both. The landing was flawlessly timed.

Wow, that was pretty awesome to be semi-flying like that.

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.

it would have had a different outcome if he landed on flat ground. At least the slope helped ease the fall.

that's scary as heck though.
