It's bad enough to see a relatively healthy person not land one, but seeing a paralyzed person? But still, "mad props" is right! I do not want to be there if he ever screws one of those flips up.

I thought the same thing: How can one be a record, but several weren't enough to be a record? The article doesn't clarify much, but my guess is that the consecutive backflips in 45s record was previously set <i>sans</i> wheelchair, but he was going to beat it <i>avec</i> wheelchair. @ Crash!
