falling upside down 3-Dec-2012 At 1:03:57 PM f_abe

In 20 odd years it's never happened to me, I've never seen it happen, so logically it couldn't happen to me, so I never even thought it a possibility. Then yesterday, fell off at Millenium (a common occurance there) a fair way out from a bolt (a common occurance there) in a fairly horizontal position (a common occurance there) and found myself upside down in a big swing...luckily I was far enough up to not hit anything, but on a lower bolt there...
Now most who read this will probably scoff and call me a nancy for bringing it up, but I figure if it makes just 1 person think of the possibility next time they find themselves climbing something steep its a good thing. It also made me wonder how many other possible ways to hurt myself my complacency conveniently ignores...
I suppose the real nancy in me says I should wear a helmet, but that's just not cool...
