I guess this falls under both Research and Writing Questions, but I thought this was the better place for it.
In my novel, my four main characters are captured by enemies and sentenced to death by being pushed off a cliff. The first one falls and lands on a crag thirty feet down. Everyone is quickly saved by external help, and the fallen character is helped back up. He has a broken back, and they are essentially in the middle of nowhere. Is it possible that he is able to ride a horse? Would be slung across the horse's back? Would there be absolutely no hope for him? Should the other character's mercy-kill him? Should he die instead of landing on a crag?
I'd love to hear some opinions!
