When vaulting, the first rule when you don't make it over is to not fucking let go. Ever.
If he had let go, the pole had enough bend in it to snap back on him incredibly hard. I had a friend who let go just before hitting the ground and the tip of the pole came back and literally sliced his eyebrow and most of the skin around it completely off of his face. Granted, there are occasions when you will want to let go, and maybe things would have gone better if you did, but even if you've fallen many times (trust me, I have the stitches to prove it) you aren't always thinking in a calm, rational manner, you're doing emergency damage control.
