California stuntman crashes to the ground as human cannonball act goes horribly wrong, video shows

"Taking it day by day with my faithful pup by his side," David Valencia wrote in an update to Chachi's GoFundMe page. "Grateful for time to heal and soak up all the love and snuggles. Here's to brighter days ahead." 

Valencia can be seen laying motionless on the ground as employees rushed to call emergency responders. 

"I don't remember anything until I was in the ambulance on my way to the hospital," Valencia said.

Riverside County Fairgrounds did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. 

The daredevil sustained multiple injuries from the incident - including a broken wrist, cracked ribs and a lacerated liver - and was rushed to the hospital, where he was discharged just a few hours later. 

"I'm really sore. It's hard for me to move around-it's mostly because of the cracked ribs that I have," Valencia told Fox 11. "I also have a broken wrist that's not bothering me so bad."

Before each launch, Valencia must decide if the conditions are safe for him to perform, and he admits to weighing the option of backing out due to the fairground's windy conditions shortly before the accident. 

"You see all the people who are waiting for you to do your thing, and they're so excited, and you know I just couldn't cancel, you know?" he said.

But before Valencia can return to the sky to continue his two-decade-long career, he must focus on rehabilitation and healing from his injuries, while reevaluating his risk-tolerance for his gravity-defying stunt. 

"I will definitely not take as many risks, as many chances, especially when it's windy," Valencia said.
