This Jackass went to the hospital and lived to tell the tale.

Bam Margera was hospitalized in Oregon after taking a kayak over a 100-foot cliff yesterday.

But don't worry, Jackass fans. The professional prankster is going to be OK and is already tweeting about it.

"Just did a 100ft tandem kayak jump with pro kayaker Steve Fisher in Oregon!" Margera tweeted along with a twitpic of their terrifying dive.

The reality star subsequently tweeted another picture of himself giving a thumbs up from his hospital bed and revealing that he had to undergo a hernia operation as a result of the drop.

The 32-year-old Margera, of course, is used to living on the edge given his work on the popular MTV series and its three feature films. His stunts also landed him in trouble with the law when he was arrested in February for jumping in a pool with his clothes on during a Mardi Gras bash.

Get well, Bam!
