A drop of 10-15 ft can do a lot more damage than that. Last September, there was a story in the local newspaper of a builder who had fallen 9ft off of some scaffolding, he died from his injuries after battling for his life for three weeks in hospital. I know of other serious injuries from smaller heights than 10-15 ft.
Even if he does "just" break a leg, such an injury in this location would not be trivial, I hope he had insurance that covered him for being helicoptered out of here. My opinion is that the guy is a few frames short of a full reel.
