how did you land? looks like you nose dived into the dirt? Did you try and coppy the house jump thing lol?

I'm too scared to do jumps with mine now...

Would it be better to jump without the body on it or is it safer to smash the body up if you roll than to land on the heatsink or somthing?

Did you break anything else besides the body? With that much damage, you had to break at least an arm or shock tower.
