If he were any lesser animal, he'd have fallen down too, but instead he catches himself on his bad leg and balances on his heel for a moment before he settles to the soles of his feet again, looking mostly unaffected by the hit.
The little maneuver was excruciatingly painful on his new prosthetic, but one would never guess by looking at his face or gait.]
