According to a statement from Jackie shortly after the accident, "I have broken my neck, fractured my skull, broken my cheek bone, fractured my eye socket, got a very bad concussion, cracked my ribs, all at once."
Video of the accident has been posted online by the band. It can be viewed below.
"The footage was filmed and edited in Toronto by Gabriel Morka. After trying to slide down a kinker Jackie broke two bones in his face and broke his neck, not to mention some gnarly scars on his face. The hospital footage was two days later. Big thanks to the tiled brick and wooden rails! Three weeks later he was jammin. Seven to eight weeks after the accident the band did a mexican tour. Broken necks ain't nothin!"Skull Fist has also checked in with the following update:
