Any fear Shelton Benjamin must have been feeling at WrestleMania XXIV was likely negated by adrenaline pumping through his body. Hyped up to steal 'Mania's first big bump or not though, Shelton had to be in a lot of pain when he slid off that ladder.

The injuries he could have sustained are numerous. Firstly, he's fortunate he didn't break his neck. Then, there's the fact he had to land flush on a ladder with his spine and the risk of smashing a leg off the security barrier separating fans from the ringside area.

Put another way: Shelton is a lucky boy.

It's not visible in the .gif, but both Mr. Kennedy and Carlito paused for a second after tipping the ladder, looked towards the refs rushing to Benjamin's aid and waited to see if he was alright. Remarkably, Shelton was, escaping with just with a sore back and some bruises.
