"Too dang old to be going down water slides. Fell off this one that is over a rocky cliff," he said.
The footage shows the moments before the accident, as Salmon joyfully slides down the water ride before hitting a curve and getting thrown over the side.
It is still unknown how far Salmon fell, but his injuries were serious enough to land him in a local hospital in Round Rock.
“Broke my arm (humerus) and fractured ribs. Multiple lacerations on my back, arms and side,” Salmon said in his Facebook post.
Despite his injuries, Salmon reported the “good news” that he won’t need surgery, and will head home to Dallas soon.

At the end of the day, however, Salmon seems to be in good spirits, and ended his post with five humorous hashtags.
“#waterslide #fail #failvideo #brokenarm #notdead,” Salmon wrote.
