I look forward to the second by second break down of where these skilled climbers went wrong. Is it the belayers fault? Is it the bolt placement? Should they both be wearing helmbets? I believe it's the fault lies in the non removal of bolts, rendering the climb too safe.

Looks like he jumps off the wall....look at those feet and the solid right hand??

I reckon they were trying to get a fall on video....and then it went a little pear shaped when the rope gets caught under the leg....

I'm curious to know why he's wearing one sock.

One foot bigger than the other so the sock is to make the shoe tighter on the little foot?

Just looks like a normal day of cragging to me, Bigoted Tim. However if I had to cite something, personally, I'd suggest that there were too few alpenstocks. P

I cant see whats wrong. He went for it and didnt get hurt. If he had a helmet on he might of clipped the ground

If only they were painted pink.

For those interested in the perspective of the climbers.

In my most definitely very honest internet opinion, I think the biggest crime here is the clear case of VVS.

Bad belay, lack of awareness of situation all round .....

This looks way too close a call at first but then a second look reveals a pair of thongs perfectly positioned on the ground to take care of any head impact so obviously a fall was anticipated and appropriate precautions taken - all good.

everyone knows you can't get hurt in a gym, so no need to bother with proper belaying, helmets, or footwork. i do hope the gym owner had them sign legal release forms, though.

Belayer standing a bit far back but amount of rope out was fare enough as dint look like 2 much slack in system 2 me, not like edweirdos belaying anyway.
More of a worry was only 2 bits of gear between an ugly deckout an leadr.
If he had a fall b4 1st clip 'ed be looking for a new ankle minimum.

It's in Red River Gorge. Sport bunny paradise where everyone carries a stick clip. No gear involved here and zero need for broken ankles (or heads).
