So, in the 6 years I have been doing this... I had never had a serious injury...
listen carefully at the end...
click for the video (http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wOTQ3OTg1NnM0MTNkZmQzMXk1NDE%3D)
It was an easy wall that I was doing for my brother (he wanted to show one of his friends who couldn't do it) and i slipped off of a grab that i should not have missed... I guess the 4th time you do the same route you start getting sloppy...
Any way, the fall wasn't that bad. Missing the mat was.
Still upset about not getting it... it was only like a V2 (on a scale of 5.7-v12, it goes up to 5.10 then v0, v1, v2, etc). /shakes head
Oh yeah, that popping sound at the end of the video was my knee dislocating. Though I'd rather it hadn't happened... it would have been nicer had he left the camera on longer lol.
listen carefully at the end...

Rule number one: if you've got the camera, NEVER STOP ROLLING!

Ah bouldering, I used to climb every once in a while, I'm far away from a wall now, but it was good times. Surprised a bouldering mat is that hard, you could do backflips off the top of ours and be fine. Mind you there was gravel in the one room, not many people fell in that one.

That sounds like it hurt like hell. How did it go when they popped it back in???

When I popped it back in it was soon enough after it happened that it was more of a continuation of the same pain...
What really hurt, was when i cleaned up my hand because I ripped a callus off... hydrogen peroxide + rubbing alcohol + dime sized lack of skin area = you feel nothing else, only fire where you don't have skin anymore.
Porsche: they do have mats... and they are quite nice... as well as moveable crash pads. It just makes me rethink all of the outdoor bouldering I do... without the crash pads.

In all my years (well... just 2 really..) of rock climbing the only injury I ever sustained was when I wasn't climbing lol. My friend was belaying down and kick this HUGE fuckin rock down toward me and didn't call ROCK while I was looking down trying to get my footing... RIGHT IN THE FUCKING HEAD... man that hurt.

Pads are for pansys... gravel is actually alot softer to land on. that's what the gym i go to has, just a big gravel pit around all the walls. only the top/sport routes have pads below them
