Oh my God. [bleep] [bleep] Are you alright there? Are you okay? Please, can you bring me that first aid kit immediately. [bleep] That was terrifying. [bleep] Hell, that was [bleep] terrifying. Pardon my French. Holy [bleep]. [bleep] That was- That was a huge piece. What? What that? Alright. That was a [bleep] close call. My foot broke. Do you feel okay? Well, it's gone. It fell under the- I got crushed under there. I'm not sure that ... [Speaking in Spanish] [bleep] That was as close as you can get to getting crushed by a rock. That was horrible.

There's only a handful of moments in my life where I remember time slowing down. There are always the moments where everything can change. I can remember six years ago, the feeling of the car as it started to roll. In the aftermath, I would lose my leg. In that moment, it felt like time stopped. And then just now, I knew I had to get out of the way.

What a near miss, huh? Look at that. Look how heavy this thing is. Look, this is half a ton of rock. This would've killed me. If we got within- If we got within- Like, just ... All right, let's just get outta here. I don't wanna think about this right now.

Everybody's pretty shooken up, trying to make sense of what just happened. I mean, look at this. Carbon fiber's completely destroyed. It was me, that boulder and then my foot on the other side, so that means I just barely made it through. That's too close. I got a spare. At least I have a spare. Let's keep going.
