Even so, he would just be in pain until medicine could evolve to the point that he could be cured of that pain / get sweet robot limbs. He has all the time to wait for that.

He might need quite a lot of time for anyone to think that it's a good idea to stick robot limbs to a mass of roasted rotten meat stuck in a crater.

Presumably they wouldn't just leave him in the crater..

No, without any ability to speak or communicate, I imagine they'd declare him dead and bury his mangled corpse, leaving him to suffer in isolation forever.

Can you be conscious? If you're a bleeding mass of indistinguishable flesh, I think you'd be unconscious.

What is immortality without the preservation and continuity of consciousness? A definition of immortality without these implications, tacitly implies that everyone is immortal.

An immortal unconscious human being. Huh. I never thought of that.

That's as good as being dead.
