Seagal has always been an enigma to me. I loved his first few pure action flicks, but then felt like he sucker punched me himself with the enviro-disaster On Deadly Ground. Last movie I saw him in, Executive Decision, I was shocked that he not only died but died 3rd of the way through. I think every movie after that was straight to video.
#48 he did not die. Just before he hit the ground he did a somersault and landed lightly on his feet.
