I'm glad you have so much faith nmonteith. I'm probably not that fortunate. Maybe I'm just a doubting Thomas. I appreciate your comments. I only hope you are dead right! of course and no accident resulting from negligence will ever happen in a climbing gym.

I know my scenario seems unlikely but strangely enough unlikely things do happen sometimes and I'm only talking about sometimes because accidents caused by negligence (not specifically climbing accidents) aren't common. I'm just pointing out here that they do happen and they happen to real people who once had legs and don't any more. (no offence of course to anyone without legs or people with any form of disability for that matter, in case some likely-to-be-offended person is watching). And ok maybe my specific examples are bogus but human error can occur in any setting.

btw I don't tie any knots at the gym...have I missed something important?
