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?

I’ll pop in a comment and also shill for Mick’s books (cheap pop!) In his first book Mick Foley essentially credits his ability to take bumps in the ring and outside of it to his body being built for it, and his “sturdy pancake ass”. And yet, over his career, his wrote a litany of pain from his injuries and now has great difficulty moving about. In short, Michael Francis Foley should not have had the career he did, should not be mobile, save for some quirks of fate and a deep understanding of what, at the time, his body could endure.
