Broken femur, dislocated knee and fractured pelvis if I remember right, though it may have been a bit more.
Like you say, it's obviously healed pretty good as he was winning races last year.
The Mountain probably isn't quite as dangerous as other corners like The Gooseneck and Mansfield though. Other than Camier and Byrne crashing really heavily I can't think of many bad crashes there, but the run up to the bottom of the hill was really bad before that nasty little chicane was put in - just ask Yukio Kagayama.
Even the starting grid isn't safe at that track - last time I was there, Chris Jones got killed in a pile-up before anyone even got to the first corner.
