St Peters Gym accident 20-Sep-2016 At 4:50:01 PM glebechris

So, it is interesting to be the topic of a chockstone forum. I was climbing with my friend Patrick belaying me.

I will post some thoughts later on the cause of the accident and consideration of techniques we should teach and reinforce.

In the short term, I am enduring some horrendously uncomfortable days and nights. I will walk but might have other impairments. I will update you as I go. Sophie King (I think that his her name) who works at the gym was wonderful taking care of me immediately on hitting the deck. The health treatment has been amazing. I don't think the gym particularly could or should have done anything different and they have followed up to check on me.

I worry for all the people traumatised by association with my accident.

I'll post more when I am physically able to do so.

Chris
