I have to disagree. "Jettison" does not fit the simile he was going for, at all.

It's not great, but it could be good. Replace "jettison" and cut the cliched "All of this blew me away" and the resulting paragraph is descriptive and fairly tight.

Jettisoning ones leg into a door sounds painful. Unless one has a prosthetic, then I must wonder why one is throwing it at a door. Do they not need it to stand?

I disagree. I had to parse the sentence three times to make all the pieces fit. :\
