Question
In the recently concluded pay-per-view summerslam, undertaker chokeslamed edge from the top of a ladder and edge went through the ring canvas into the ground. Then, flames arose from there and all that.. You knw.. Now, my question is how is it possible for anyone to survive a fall from a 15 ft ladder.. How was all this done?? And what about the fire??? Please let me know all the inside story.....

Answer
Hi Mayank,
if you watch the fall closely you do not actually see Edge hit the ground.
usually when this sort of thing happens there is a crash mat under the ring. as for the fire there is plenty of time between Edge falling through the mat and the flames starting for him to get a safe distance away.
thank you for your question.
