I had a mate who took a small fall on an 8m sport route in Nowra. Spun around somehow knocked his head, not hard at all. Lost concsiousness, came too and was later flown to wollongong hospital to have an emergency operation where they drilled a hole in his skull and removed the clotting blood, the pressure from which was threatening to give him permanant brain damage. 26 massive staples and a few months recovery later he was ok. Since then I have never been climbing on any route without a helmet.
