Canon suffered a broken jaw, shattered ankle and a concussion from a fall down a ravine on December 20, 2014, which some sources say it was a 20-foot (61 m) drop whereas others (including canon himself) say 40-foot (12 m) while Canon and his manager, Brandon Mason, tried to help someone who had crashed their car however the gasoline had spread and the man inside tried to start the car afraid it would blow up Canon jumped over a rail and could not see the ravine as it was dark.
He has since recovered and has even performed and released a few songs.
