Well, what actually happened was after the weight fell, he couldn't move and stayed in that position till the medics came on stage. Amazingly, he managed to overcome the pain and hobble of the stage.

From there, I remember his legs being heavily bandaged and there was about an inch worth of bandaging around his left leg. I'm not sure what they did to his right but it was clearly bruised. I sure hoped they applied enough ice because 217kg falling at that speed onto your lower limbs is no joke.
