UK cheerleader survives 4-story fall

Dylan Smith is only 19 but he has already etched out his spot in Kentucky sports lore as the male cheerleader who fell 44-feet to a certain death but saved his life with a variety of cheerleading moves. Um, and not to get all conspiracy/crazy/ironic theory on you guys, but this fall happened the same day Rangers fan fell to his death. This one reads like a Jackie Chan flipping-through-the-air and to safety flick.
According to The Call in Woonsocket, RI:

The father of an award-winning cheerleader says his son?s training may be the only reason he?s still alive after falling four stories from the studio where he teaches Thursday. Dylan Smith, 19, told his father he instinctively did a backflip in mid-air, which enabled him to land on his feet behind the old Harris Mill on Main Street. ?He?s alive and it?s basically a miracle,? said Hugh Smith of North Smithfield. ?He should be dead. It?s a 44-foot drop.?

As for how this could have happened?
