At the
2007 X Games, Brown suffered a fall from nearly 50 feet in the air after one of his runs. On his final run of the games, Brown landed the first ever 720 rotation on a
mega ramp, but lost his balance on his next trick. Brown flew into the air and came crashing down on the ramp below. The impact was so hard that his
shoes were knocked off. Brown was able to walk away from the accident, suffering
contusions to his
lungs and
liver. He was released form the hospital after three days.
