Climber injured

[skyhuck]

Dont blame the man and no disrespect intended,but like me he see,s things in black and white.

 

There is some history to this that as a newish member you are unaware of.

Was there a back up lanyard/flipline used? did he cut through both his lines?

 

Best left for the inevitable HSE investigation.

[Mesterh]

Nasty accident hope he recovers well, and hope the HSE inspectors are one day in that situation themselves!

I would have personally knocked them clean out if they were making jokes and having a laugh

[cerneARB]

Thinking of Chris and wishing him improved health and a good recovery.

 

Nasty accident, poor guy.

[Mike Hill]

My thoughts to him and his family.A tradgic accident and a reminder to us all.

[jacko]

Not good , hope the guy makes a full and speedy recovery.

[Andy Collins]

I'd like to suggest an online fund-raising event for Chris and his family at this time, charity begins at home, and you dont get much closer to home than this. Any ideas, such as a raffle, an auction or a competition?

[Pete Mctree]

You have a very valid idea there Andy. I will put in a prize towards a raffle or auction.

I think at such a time, a little contribution from each of us would help him and his family in a small way

[josharb87]

Good idea, hes still got bills to pay!

By coincidence, ive been talking to the bankmanager about taking out income protection insurance-bank will pay my income if i have an accident and am unable to work, for aslong as im signed off-up untill retirement age!

anyone else have any sort of insurance?

tragic. . .could have been worse though

I would also be happy to put up a prize.
