Speaking of impaling, a guy in thailand this year impaled himself on a draw, but it was thru his upper arm, the amazing thing was that his whole body weight was on it for quite a length of time, luckily it pushed thru the skin and between the muscles of his upper arm, id heard about this quite alot, and was talking about it one day when the guy sitting next to me pulled up his sleeve to show a bandage saying that it was his arm in quewstion, i think he had a few weeks off and resumed easy climbing. Looked pretty brutal though i must admit. |
