I recently saw the Mankind vs Undertaker Hell in a Cell match. A match that has it’s own wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mankind_vs._The_Undertaker

From a Biological POV How is Mick Foley still alive after being thrown two stories with just a table to break his fall? He suffered “a concussion, a dislocated jaw and shoulder, bruised ribs, internal bleeding, puncture wounds, and several teeth knocked out.” And this is all in one match.

How do these pros go through so much damage without dying and usually having long careers? Is the Human Body really capable of taking so much damage?
