I'm thinking back to the "How much risk is too much risk?" thread. A skilled aerialist isn't going to botch the landing that bad. He might be a good skier, but he needs some more aerial practice in a controlled environment. The guy in the red jacket was over his head and operating in survival mode, just so he could reach the launch for his cliff drop and then biff the landing anyway. A couple of the GoPro shots show the skis hitting the ground after a jump, but then it cuts off. I wonder if that's because what followed went badly. Kind of like on The Dukes of Hazzard, when the General Lee makes jump and the camera cuts away just as the wheels touch down, so you don't see the front end buckle from the force of the landing. (They shredded a lot of Chargers on those jumps)
