Skateboarder Jake Brown, whose 45-foot free-fall Thursday night brought a hush to the crowd at Staples Center, remains hospitalized after suffering bruises of the liver and lung, stress fractures in his vertebrae and a small fracture on the top of one hand.
Brown, 32, who was injured during the big air competition on the mega-ramp during a silver medalist performance, is expected to be released from the hospital today or Sunday and make a full recovery.
"Doctors said there was no paralysis or anything like that," said Bryce Kanights, team manager for Adidas, which is among Brown's corporate sponsors.
Kanights was critical of X Games medical personnel for not immobilizing Brown immediately and placing him in a stretcher.
A hospital spokesman refused to discuss Brown's condition.

Makes me cringe everytime I see it. He's one lucky cat though. Thank God he's fine.
WWE is for pussies...
