Climber hurt

[swinny]

That sounds awfull Hope he recovers ok. All the risks for 100-150 a day don't seem worth it when something like this pops up

Hope he recovers well. Any ideas what happened? Could help us avoid it in the future

Glad he's alright. My old boss fell the same height a few weeks ago. Air ambulance job. The groundie thought he was dead! He fell into a load of shrubs. Luckily he only cracked a vertibray( sp?) and bruised his guts. He was in the pub the next night. Lucky git.

Is a fall like that a riddor notification?

Ouch . I wish him all the best for a speedy recovery.

 

Will show this thread to a mate of mine whos been climbing about 6 monthes to make him see the dangers not put him off. He had a small fall on wednesday only about 10ft. Hadn't told me he was coming off his split tail, tried to tie a VT but he'd left it far too long, went to step off a branch and it just did'nt bite ... told him if in doubt to ask me to show him how to tie it and reinforces the importance of low and slow on any new system.

 

Stay safe!

Hope he heels quick, keep us posted.

Good call Mike, feedback like this would save others.

 

Hope he mends ok.

[RobArb]

Not sure on how it happened yet and don't want to speculate, so I'll try to find or more info.

 

From what has been said, looks like it'll be a long but full recovery
