Jeremy Lusk was injured Saturday (February 7) night when he failed to complete a full rotation while attempting a Hart Attack Indian air backflip and slammed headfirst into the dirt.

The accident may have caused severe brain damage and a possible spinal cord injury to him. Lusk crashed in almost identical fashion in the freestyle semifinals at the 2007 X Games but was not hurt (see video below). Link
