Man survives 90-foot fall in the Grand Canyon
GRAND CANYON - A Kanab, Utah, man survived a 90-foot fall in the Grand Canyon and caught it on camera.
Nick Smith from "Seldom Seen Adventures" fell in Soap Creek Canyon in the Grand Canyon.
He said he is very sore but luckily didn't break any bones.
Smith told Fox 13 he had to climb back up the rope after falling, then climb and hike out of the canyon to his car and drive home.

Not sure. He said nearly 90 in his YouTube description.

"This is my fall from February 5th. I fell nearly 90 feet after my rope block failed (yes user error). After getting up and realizing I wasn't dead, I had to reascend the ropes to the top. I then hiked back out to my vehicle. After a visit to the ER. I was cleared by a full CT scan. No broken bones, no internal bleeding. Somehow I don't even have a scratch on my body from the ordeal."

Basically the same article in the St. George News. I can find any other websites with the story and more details.
