Ouch!

Although if pic one was a "what happens next" picture, I'd say the car would be a complete write off, but looks like he's gotten away lightly.

Lucky lucky boy!

New strut & top mount, probably new wishbone and possibly track rod and that's the mechanical damage most likely. From the first picture I thought he was going to clear the barrier.

I think a landing that hard will have tweaked the shell in some way.
