Bad Arb Accident Caught on Film

[TC]

You can't lift the link from youtube but you can click on the link on this Arbtalk thread - the 2nd vid - 'Pine Fall'

It's bad people, not sure exactly how it happened, climbing line got snagged on a stub? - the close up at 0.16 seconds allows you to see the climber clearly

Word is, Shaun only suffered a broken tail bone. Could have easily been crushed, twisted, and injured in all sorts of nasty ways! Very scary!

Glad he is ok.

Poor attention to lifeline routing can be fatal is very close to being the poor bloke's epitaph on a tombstone.

Glad he's alive and recovering, and learning.

There's a rumor going around that the climber was pressured by his company to remove the video. It was big of him to put it up in the first place..
