This weekend whipper shows how even a short fall, low to the ground, can still be dangerous if you aren’t careful. It appears in this video, shot at Table
Mountain in California, that the climber gets his foot caught as he falls, causing him to spin sideways and crash into the rock. According to the uploader’s
comments on Youtube, he suffered “stitches in my back head and a ding in my climbing ego” and that “nowadays I wear a helmet. It’s not an issue for
me anymore.”
