I've fallen on a large rock from 3m up, landing flat on my back, and the only thing that prevented spine damage was the bouldering pad my spotter laid over this rock.
A pad isn't just for softening falls - placed appropriately, it has the potential to save you from breaking more than just your ankles. And having a switched-on spotter is muy importante!
Flashed = good gear, go as big/thick as you can afford. More coverage and thicker padding is always handy. |
