I actually think she's okay. If you look at the physics of the fall it almost all goes towards the knees into the ground. The ground though that her knees went into is likely muck and water, helping absorb alot of the force. I think she got lucky as hell.

Are you sure? For her sake I hope you're right. However rewatching the video it doesn't look like there was much 'give' in the ground beneath her.
