cheekbone and needed 23 stitches. what did they learn watching it all over again? >> these are the cliffs. you can see how big the rocks are. >> you hit those and went flying. >> i was able to see no matter how young or old we are, we are not invincible. >> i had no idea you were in trouble. i was just going to see where you were. >> and looking at that, it was an eye opener for me. to be able to reflect and to see dangerous things do happen. if you're not careful and keeping track of what you're doing, you could end up hurt. >> reporter: it seemed like a good idea at the time. they're just lucky they lived to tell the tale. i'm david wright for "nightline" in los angeles. next, divorce parties in vegas? these blowout bashes celebrate the next chapter.
