Sorry to hear that but I think you'll admit your break came from the twisting rather than the fall.

Booth made many leaps and jumps from the stage. He was what I'd call stunt man savvy. Since he planned this leap he would have known how to hit the floor. I don't think the spur dragging down the flag bunting would have made any difference in how he planned to land he would have adjusted in the air, if needed. If the bunting on the spur made a difference the injury would have been more like yours.

I can see him hitting the floor feet first, with the bunting and then landing on his hands. This would be natural but called 'awkward'
