Caleb addressed his fans, whom he dubbed the “Coffee Crew,” in a post on his dad Jason’s Instagram Story on Thursday, announcing that, unbelievably, he didn’t break his neck.
“It’s day two after falling off a 25-meter cliff. All the doctors thought my spine or neck was broken. I just came out of an MRI and somehow, miraculously, it’s not broken, just irritation.’

“I personally can’t think of any other explanation for that than thank you, Jesus.”
Dad Jason updated his full status earlier Thursday night.
“(Caleb) is stable, conscious, talking and in good spirits,” he wrote on his Instagram story.
“He has a small fracture in his neck (he has full movement in his toes and fingers). He has a broken femur (surgery put a bar through it), two plates and 10 screws in his right elbow, broken left wrist, stitches in forehead and lip.
Jason said his son “just had another MRI” to get a closer look at his neck.”
They initially said he had a “spine fracture, fractured femur, elbow, wrist and multiple grooves and burns throughout his body.”
The family is trying to raise $100,000 to cover medical expenses since Caleb has no insurance.
“The medics and everyone tell us he is lucky to be alive and one of the fittest,” his sister, Peyton, wrote on Instagram.
