Hope the lads OK. :sad:

 

He will really learn from this harsh lesson, as will those who witnessed it, silver lining and all that. :001_smile:

 

I trust the Risk Assessment and Method Statement were in order :sneaky2:

Hope he is allright.

 

 

Same thing happened at our college, practice was to use both ends of rope, on change over he managed to clip into wrong end or something, straight out of the tree onto the deck!

Minor injuries iirc back climbing a few weeks later. Lets hope its the same for this fella.

 

They changed practices then and used a side strop instead.
