Hong kong accident

[MATTMOSS]

It is quite handy for that it makes you think twice and twice again.

 

I really think this guy in the video was cacking himself he couldn't even pick his saw up properly and his stance on his spikes was all wrong, I bet he thought twice about it then that overriding voice in his head said ' it'll be reet!' Which in arb terms means 50/50 and he went for it.

At least he'll know for next time......... After he washes his hi flex and possibly his boots too haha

 

havnt we all done that? I know I have.

CS38 has a rescue on spikes now I believe! It used to just be a question but I THINK there is a practical test on it now.

 

It's called pole top rescue a practical way to rescue somèone in that situation

Just found this to answer my own question, not that easy by the look of it!

There are two vids of this accident, one of which made it clear this poor bloke was being instructed by an unseen, but heard boss on the ground, who's either an idiot in terms of proper rigging methods, or was intentionally trying to kill the amateurish, and seemingly well equipped climber?

 

Borderline criminal conduct by the instructor IMO.

 

Be interesting to see how long the vids stay functional on YT?

We had to do a pole rescue at college It involved a topping strop a third person, lowering rope and a wrap round a neighbouring tree, prob getting on for 20 yr ago and all part of the Nptc

From what I have been told, the climber got off with just scrapes and bruises.

The first video looked bad but this one looks worse
