You are supposed to suddenly yank at their limbs with great force in an effort to contort their broken bodies into a safer position. Duh.

Climbing a fake wall inside a building but too proud and dumb to use a harness. Always wonder what these guys are thinking as they're falling.

Dude he's wearing a harness, his mistake is that he forgot to clip into the auto belay. You have to do it every time you climb the wall and if you've been climbing for years and done the wall a thousand times sometimes you just make a mistake and forget.

There is no auto belays at my gym for this reason. You need to have an actual human being be your partner and they belay you with you attached to them. It's much less likely that two people fail to realize that something is wrong than one. Auto-belays are deadly for this reason.

Usually they have some sort or tarp covering the starting holds and the auto belay is clipped to that tarp so that you can't grab the start holds without first clipping yourself into the auto-belay. Obviously that's not the case here and this poor guy forgot to clip in and didn't even notice the whole time he was climbing. He got to the top and just let go of the wall expecting the author belay to catch his weight and lower him safely. He didn't even realize his mistake until it was too late.

This is a repost, I've seen it quite a few times now but I couldn't find any other posts with it, so I'm pretty sure you're in the clear. The guy went up without a harness which you're not supposed to do. People suspect he forgot he wasn't wearing one that's why it looks like he just kinda leaps backwards.

I think the guy survived though, so this would technically be the wrong hole if so.

That's what I saw and thought. Dude was obviously coming down as usual, except this time he didn't have a harness, which he forgot in the heat of the moment.

Repost that cuts out the beginning. He didn't do this on purpose. He was just more focused on getting the right camera angle

They changed it to two months? Why the fuck are the mods appeasing repost whites.

The beginning is him setting up his phone. What you mean the beginning is him climbing to the top?

why did he jump 😭

After thinking about it for a little bit:

1. Probably had done this climb countless times prior, trying to set a personal best record – this routine might've fostered complacency, where he was so hyper focused on the climbing part, that he didn't even realize he hadn't harnessed himself up beforehand.

                        OR more likely...

2. Similar to #1 except the only difference being, he knew he wasn't harnessed up, but when he got to the top, he let go as a force of habit (from doing it so many times in the past) and probably instantly realized "oh shit" as he was letting go.

Complacency and force-of-habit cultivated from a routine can sometimes lead to disaster.

Your number one is more likely. He never even. Realized he wasn't clipped in. Totally forgot. Your number too is almost impossible. There's no way he realized he wasn't clipped in part way up and just kept going. I've been a rock climber inside and outdoor for more than a decade. NOONE would realize this mistake part way up the wall and just keep going. I've seen it multiple times where something like this happens and usually the whole gym responds immediately to help the person down without injury.

Why, though?

Why not use rope? What benefit is there doing the way this idiot did it? Do they not require some sort of safety at these things (I am a layman in the wall climbing thing)?

From his body language, it looks like he forgot to tie in, and thought :marseymindblown: that he WAS roped - and would :marseymid: be let down gently.

I thing i leanerd in AP psychology is Automaticity refers to the ability to perform tasks without conscious thought due to extensive experience and practice. When tasks become automatic, you can perform them quickly and efficiently, often while your attention is directed elsewhere but absent mindness, this really has more to play in a role like setting up the perfect angle for the camera casuing a lapse in memory, Absent-mindedness it is a type of memory lapse that involves a breakdown at the interface between attention and memory. This can occur when you're preoccupied or your attention is divided, leading you to forget details of tasks you routinely perform, even though you feel like you've done them. Basically becoming muscle memory which can be a blessing or in this case a huge fuck up.
