I mean, you've just had 2 holes drilled thru' the side of your head.........you would be highly unlikely to be able to just jump up, have a fight with people, then fly off in a helicopter.
Most likely, at the minimum you would be suffering form considerable neuropathic nerve pain.
I think I covered the depleted uranium issue in some detail in another thread - please keep up old chap.
I'll grant you though the combination of being shot twice, the fall and not drowning, while possible, is stretching credibility a bit far.

Can U say adrenaline?
I knew that U could... :))
OK smart ass, i'll try. :))
True........but at least in CR it had Bond, seen in medical treatment and rest, after his ordeal.
Mind you, its the movies.........we don't have time, or inclination, to watch someone recover from their ordeals.
I don't doubt their medical credentials and they are indeed correct when they say if you are hit cleanly with a DU round it will rip you in half.
However perhaps in future when papers have a column to fill they might be better consulting experts in Bond, or at least someone who has seen the goddam film for if you actually watch it is a ricochet that hits Bond. This point is further hammered home to experts/morons by human exposition generator Rory Kinnear when later he states Bond was lucky it was a ricochet.
As for cancer the risk would be no more than 60 Morlands specials a day and would be unlikely to show up by now and certainly not within the running time of SF (or SP for that matter).
The fall is the biggest stretch of believability but people have survived similar falls. It's certainly within the suspension of disbelief threshold.
Okay, true story: The day before my wedding I was working on a lattice for a backdrop to the event, and in a fit of impatience I kicked a partially sawed-through board to break it and due to its position above other boards it flung up & hit me in the face, breaking my nose & knocking me out for a few seconds. My to-be 11 year-old Stepson woke me up, and I went to a bathroom, forceably cracked the bone back in place (it looked like a movie effect it was so skewed), cleaned up the blood from my nose & plugged my nostrils with toilet paper, and went back to work on the lattice (it HAD to be finished that day).
And no one was even trying to kill me.
Add some adrenaline & recovery would have been FASTER.
Get my point?
:))
Yes.........of course i get your point.....................and after reading your post, i've come to 2 conclusions, one you must be some sort of bionic man, and two your attempts at DIY, would not be amiss in a Laurel & Hardy film! :))
:)) You're not wrong!
I would call it a mission impossible, but cannot because that is another fella.
He also picks off several Spectre soldiers from long range, during flight from cratar.
Was it me or were these two of the laziest/budget constrained scenes in the series?
Q: How do we get Bond out of the crater?
A: He shoots a few guys and then shoots one cannister of gas and thats enough to level the entire place in less than a minute.
Who passed Blofeld's fire safety certificate? 'Yeah Mr Blofeld. Building your walls out of pure TNT doesnt seem like a fire risk.' I think Ernst needs a visit from Welephant frankly.
Q: Now we've cobbled together an awful storyline of Blofeld being Bond's 'foster' brother how the hell do we end it bearing in mind Sam wants to film in London and we have no money left and we have to shoehorn a resolution to the whole Nine Eyes thing which we wish we'd never bothered with in the first place.
A: Lets have Blofeld escape in a chopper but rather than having him get away lets paint ourselves into another convoluted prison break corner for B25 by having Bond improbably shoot him down with a tiny pistol just so we can have a fairly unsatisfactory personal showdown with the brothers.
Agreed post GE. The free running CR scene is the best chase in the entire series.
Even Fleming suffered from those.
