Broken Back.
Ouch I wonder why he did not tap or give up before he was bent backwards.

One word comes to mind...ego. Seriously though, I have seen so many people in various classes, in a very bad position, and they'll continue to work for an escape. I'm sorry, but I have no issues with tapping. So I tap, big deal. I'd rather do that than walk away with an injury.
Looks like it happened too fast for him to tap - note that the guy attempting the lock pretty much fell on his butt when he stepped over the other guy's body.

That is what I think as well. It just happened to fast and walla......crack!
when my knee blew while training in a BJJ sparring session 9 years ago. It happened so fast there was no way of preventing it. Fortunately for me though the blow out was not to bad and proper rehab, took care of it. However like all of us obsessed martial practitioners I still trained throughout!
I was thinking when he was upside down and head his head pinned back. I would assume the worse, but that is me.
I agree once he sat down, it was too late though.
Agreed. The person who was standing should not have done that technique. It was inappropriate.
It was a freak injury. A sick video to watch, but a freak injury none the less. Ouch is an understatement.

Sorry about that Jeff!
It might not be broken. When I was a kid, I got in a fight with a playground bully and he put me in the wrestling move "the boston crab" until I was screaming. Basically, my back was hyperextended, but not broken. That said, hopefully, he'll walk again. Regardless, I think he's done with jujutsu. Hell, I almost am after watching that. It makes me NOT want to go to any more tournaments.

I've seen this video before, and heard (though I don't know for sure) that the injury was not as bad as it looks.
The guy on the bottom should learn to roll over his shoulder. He was trying a very common sweep used on guys standing in your guard. When done properly you can safely avoid injury if the guy tries to step over like in this vid.

Brian,
Do you know anything about this clip? It reminds me of one I saw years ago on another forum, but I'm not sure if it's the same one.
