RHYS MILLEN LANDS HIMSELF IN HOSPITAL.

For the first time ever, someone has attempted to execute a backflip - except this time in a truck. It probably wasnt the brightest idea in the world, but that's what pushing the envelope entails so Rhys Millen was the first to step up to the plate.



While recently practicing for his Red Bull Experiment, Rhys Millen suffered an unfortunate accident leaving him with five fractured vertebrae. The incident took place after Millen successfully completed the flip three times into a cushion of cardboard boxes. It was the fourth and final jump test that landed him in the hospital. The truck apparently overshot the landing area and hit the ground -- hard. Thankfully, Rhys's injuries are non-threatening and although he won't be performing the trick in Las Vegas for New Year's Eve, he'll be back in action in due time. We wish him well and hope for a full and speedy recovery.
