Man :( looked like he was confident n competent - maybe just failed to do his krab proply ?? Poor sod :( K

 

He has an impressive range of spray paints to blend his flush cuts and fill in his spike marks after prunes, competent is not a word I'd use.

 

It's quite an old one, if I recall right he broke his back and it was a life altering injury, he is now physio or was.

The video won't load for me but I believe I have spoken to this chap online; yes, he's not dead!

 

His tied his knot wrong and it untied itself as he worked his way up the tree.

 

He made a full recovery and is now a fitness model I believe.

 

 

Be interesting to know what the knot was and how he tied it incorrectly.

it's not really important what knot it was its the fact he didn't test his system before releasing his other life line

I have tied knots incorrectly it was a blakes hitch (which i believe when you do it wrong it's called a suicide knot) but I tested it first and guess what it didn't hold me and i never fell because i hadn't released my other life line ................ Test your life line that's what that video teaches me
