During the filming of WWE reality show ‘Holy Foley’ the family goes skydiving in the season finally. Mick Foley’s parachute failed to open and crashed through an old wood barn. Miraculously, the former extreme professional wrestler was able to walk away from the crash without being broken in half.
The production crew panicked and called paramedics and began searching through the now heaping pile of broken wood. Foley emerged with some few cuts and bruises but refused medical attention saying he was “fine.”
“My left hip actually feels a little better,” Foley told the cameras in a post interview. “I knew I had to have something break my fall to have any chance of surviving and that barn did the trick. I hope the production insurance covers the cost of that barn.”
Ten minutes after the fall that should have ended his life, Foley could be seen at craft services eating some snacks and making jokes with the crew. The crash was a fluke accident when the first parachute became tangled and the backup chute failed to deploy.
The farmer who owned the barn said, “Scared the hell out of them sheep, that’s for sure. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone fall that high and live. Not only live but walked away from the darn thing.”
The farmer’s family have already begun getting calls from Mick Foley fans wondering if they can visit the barn that the ‘Hardcore Legend’ crashed through. “I didn’t know how popular he was. I’m thinking of holding barn tours for his fans. Maybe charge $10 a head and that includes a cup of homemade cinnamon apple juice. It will be the first ‘Hardcore’ landmark in the world.”
The WWE has declined to comment on if it will use the footage for the ‘Holy Foley’ reality TV show, exclusively on the WWE Network.
