No attempt at self-preservation. Dude slipped and went down sideways.

On closer inspection the guy’s hand slipped before he had a grip with both hands, and decided to spend a half second before he was kicking and screaming to the ground. Yeah, people aren’t cats. But try to at least protect your vitals instead of flailing like a rag doll, landing on your feet like a coiled spring from that height is a lot better than randomly pancaking. Although if someone isn’t ready for that they:

  1. shouldn’t be climbing at all
  2. If they lock their legs and knees for impact they could fuck themselves up just as badly.

Then again, this is a soy-filled leftist who could only climb because he was scrawny enough, not because of strength. If he rotated a bit more he could have earned a Darwin Award.
