: at the very end of the tank chase, the tank is heading towards the edge of a cliff. Indy's hat blows off and he falls down next to the treads. The next shot shows the tank going right over the the edge of the cliff and falling about a hundred feet. Marcus, Henry Sr., and Sallah are looking down at the wreck when Indy pulls himself up on to the ledge. How on earth did he survive that? Did he jump off at the last second? Did he simply just live through the fall? What?
Let's not concern ourselves with the phyisics of these shows, huh? I mean, if we were to do so, most of the traps and scenarios in Raiders and ToD would never exist.
But if you want my opinion, using his last ounce of strength, our hero grabbed onto one of the roots hanging over the cliff. Henry and co. could not see him thanks to the overhang. He climbed up where the tank fell, while Henry and co. were looking from a better vantage point.
