Thankfully, Lukasz escaped with just a fractured wrist.
‘It could have been much worse. I have bruised ribs, hip, shoulder. It felt like a car had hit me. But I’m fine, I’m alive,” Lukasz Malewski told the Daily Mail.
Stuntman Joe Atkinson who was performing with Lukasz when he had his fall said, ”I was running up the stairs for the next jump and I heard a bang. One of the scooter riders attempted to spot him as he fell.”
