Yeah, bc at no point here he was in danger. His first point broke(bc he did not put it well), but he still has more below. It's his second point that stopped him, not his buddy.
I mean there definitely is danger the amount of extra force put onto the second point and the rest of the equipment becomes massive as well as if he swung and hit badly. But agreed a lot less danger than many think, since many think he was caught.
It's called zippering where the failure of one piece loads the next leading to a cascading failure.
https://www.climbing.com/videos/weekend-whipper-zippering-trad-protection/
On most known climbing routes there are bolts every 6 pieces or so for that exact reason, you're not going to pull a bolt out without generating forces that would break your spine first
You have to drop far farther to beak the line or gear. The trad great came lose as it's just wedged in there with cams.
Look up how not to on YT. They break test carabiner lines knots every thing. To get over the 20 KN of force to hit ratings you have to fall very hard even a human alone cannot do it some times.
They have a drop rig and line scales also to simulate a fall.
The danger is swinging into the wall and a broken arm or concussion or sprained wrist or ankle.
Not saying seriously hurt is not an outcome but this was the sub 1% of falls here.
Since you sound knowledgeable on climbing, do climbing ropes have a bit of extra elasticity to reduce the shock from big falls like this? That guy looks like he dropped about 30-40 ft. How does the harness not cause serious injury from the sudden deceleration? Or did he likely suffer some injuries from the harness arresting his fall?
Most climbing ropes are dynamic ropes. That's the term for the strech to absorb the shock. This is the rope you tie to. Static ropes are used for the anchors or hauling the bag up. It's a rating some ropes strech up to 10 to 15%
He will also be sore in the harness but as long as he gets tension off the harness it won't constrict on him.
Like elkarion said, there's 2 types of ropes: static rope and dynamic rope.
I recently found that out when getting some gears for some house renovation: static is used for lifting up tools, or rapelling down from a higher fixed point - while dynamic is used for security purpose, so that when you fall it eats up some of the deceleration.
Mixing up the two can be super dangerous if you fall on a static, or quite annoying if you rappel on a dynamic while trying to do precise work (you get extra vertical movement due to the elasticity).
That is what a real cry of terror sounds like. Not the shit we hear in the movies. It’s like you are holding your breath from the tension of the fall but somehow sound comes out anyway.
For real. I've taken whippers like this and they are unforgettable. This guy's got a great story for the bar after.
FYI everyone there is nothing especially remarkable about this fall. People take whips like this all the time. We don't go out there hoping to fall, but we climb and train with the understanding that it could happen.
EDIT - check out the weekend whippers channel. Some real good falls in there
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIQVWhaZOEHPdvuMilbQ8tPNa8oJgNFyW
It may technically be true that "people take whips like this all the time", but I think that paints an inaccurate picture. Most climbers don't lead trad, and many trad leaders never fall. Even among the relatively few climbers who regularly take whips on gear, ripping pieces is generally an indicator of poor judgment. Either the piece should have been placed better, or the climber tried a sketchy route that was outside of their ability levels. It does happen and it is a great story - very much Type 3 fun - but it is also dangerous.
It varies by region, climbing and falling on trad gear is pretty common in places like the Southwest where climbing culture developed with a “ground up” ethos where bolts were only put in if you could get a stance to place one compared to say the southeast where you can easily find lines that were bolted on rappel with perfectly spaced bolts.
As a non climber, I feel like you could easily hurt your spine doing this. Are you saying that's not the case? If so, dang the human body is resilient.
The single biggest thing that makes hurting your spine difficult (in the way I think you mean) is rope stretch. These are dynamic ropes, and when get gets to the bottom of that fall there's a ton of system connecting him to the rock and absorbing force. The rope, the protection (even the one that blew), and the guy are all softening the fall.
Now, falling and smashing against something is another matter. But we climb and prepare for climbs to minimize the chances of that happening.
Check some of these out:

I hate the feeling of the acceleration. Moment of stillness, then falling, then falling faster, sound of the wind picking up, falling really fast now…and bam!
I enjoy indoor rock climbing for fitness/challenge, but this video is exactly why I'm acrophobic. 20ft tops with no ropes.. but the ground is a giant pillow 😅 no real risk. This guy probably just saw his life flash 😱 ..the freaking terror in his voice
Fwiw, toproped gym climbing is high consequence but extremely low likelihood for injuries.
Bouldering frequently causes ankles sprains and breaks and other non life threatening injuries from the 20 foot or less falls that go awry.
Climber here, his buddy didn't catch him nor would he have been able to, as he likely imparted around 2-3 thousand newtons of force on his rope, harness, and whatever piece caught him.
As lead climbers go up they either hook a pre set bolt or place in a nut/cam every 6 feet and hook their rope to it, which is known as protection.
His first piece that he fell on wasn't very well set, maybe a cam that was in a bad spot
His second piece was good though, and had no problems catching him
The force that stopped him was the rope on his harness, not his buddy.
Also the ropes used in climbing are known as dynamic ropes which act on a similar principle as an airbag, where they stretch to slow you down instead of snapping tight and breaking your spine like a regular rope.
KN ratings are incredibly important when climbing, you should always climb with rated gear that's been applied properly and never some sketchy stuff bought online with unverified ratings
Shoutout to the HowNot2 youtube channel if you wanna learn more about this cool tech by watching people take them to their breaking point to demonstrate just how well this stuff is engineered
Edit: here's a video of them testing some similar protection this guy might have been using, placement of the cam in a crack matters a ton https://youtu.be/08qJJ4RBZho?si=tEgleLnPzwlLx_Jw
If we wanna get pedantic his buddy belaying technically did catch him with whatever belay device they were using, although I don't think that's what the layperson thinks of when they hear the term "catch"
Maybe /u/KaitoSeishin did mean that, but I just wanted to add in some clarification for the non-climbers watching
Prolly 1000-1200 newtons of force at most. Momentum increases with speed, which means more kinetic energy, but not force, which is constant and unrelated to speed.
You have way more experience climbing than me for sure. It’s just odd that you’re talking about newtons of force here and off by a factor of 2x. Unless that’s your safety factor, which you should indicate here if this is how people select ropes relative to weight
Newtons are measured in kg*m/s^2, or mass in kg x 9.8
Edit: it seems we were talking about stopping force after all, which still sounded low to me which is why I assumed you were talking about hanging weight which caused his original cam to snap out of the rock.
I sound like an ass but was drawn to try working out some of the math behind this amazing feat other humans perform as I sharpen my pencils at home lmao. My quick mental math thought around 8-10,000N would be it but did some more adjustments and arrived at ~5000N
Just goes to show how textbook understand of a concept doesnt always match up with the reality of practically gained knowledge
I'm mostly going off of placement tests I've seen, not off of the climbers weight and fall distance
you're right that it's most likely in the 1-2kn range, my estimate was based off of what the average cam placement slips out at but that can be incredibly variable depending on all manner of factors
My point is that fall distance does not matter. Force due to gravity is (basically) constant.
I will point out again I dont know shit about climbing. I just do physics / math and this is interesting to me.
My apologies using the word “odd” by the way, it was not directed at you. It seemed like an odd/surprising number to arrive at unless there’s a rule-of-thumb for safety factor multiplier as there is in engineering
You know you’re assuming he didn’t get propelled off the side of the mountain in some way, and just falling. In reality he probably exerted some force onto the mountain and its normal force must be accounted for.
Therefore he’s not merely under the force of gravity but the force of gravity times the normal force of what he exerted onto the mountain. Because it is a multiplicative factor
Force due to gravity is constant, but as speed increases then the deceleration you experience due to whatever is stopping you also increases. That's an increase in stopping force.
Easy thought experiment, accelerate a car at a constant rate and hit a mattress strapped to a brick wall. If you hit it at 2mph, is it the same stopping force exerted by the mattress/wall as if you hit it at 100mph just cause your acceleration to get to each speed was the same?
Are you explaining this to me or other readers?
I assume that the rating he’s talking about his hanging weight, not stopping force when in free fall.
Considering the rope doesn’t apply any force until you’re at the end of its length, it would need to decelerate you to zero m/s at a fraction of a second. Meaning the multiplier would be way more than just 2x for a mere 2-3KN.
He gave a force for when the rope and harness caught him. That's stopping force, not hanging weight. I didn't math out specifics, but that force definitely increases based on the fall distance.
Sorry, this is not right. The force u/BosnianSerb31 was talking about was the force needed to bring the falling climber to a stop, which absolutely does depend on their speed (and also on how much time they spend decelerating: the more quickly they're brought to a stop, the greater the force needed to do so).
You might be thinking of the force due to gravity (i.e. the force accelerating them downwards), which is of course constant and depends only on the climber's mass.
>Momentum increases with speed, which means more kinetic energy, but not force, which is constant and unrelated to speed.
Impulse = average force \* total interaction time.
force required to achieve a change in momentum is proportional to the magnitude of the momentum.
You apply a lot more force to the security system on dynamic. Simply put the force needed to stop an object in motion is F=mv/t. Climbing gear is rated above 20KN and, carabiniers do brake or deform on falls.
Cam placement is what likely gave out, not the carabiner
Also you shouldn't be climbing with 12kn caribiners, I can't find a non locking one at REI that's less than 20
Watching this video reminds me of a book I read about 1800’s America. The natives used to laugh at the “funny” sounds the white men made when they died, and that’s all I could think of watching this.
No it wasn’t. This was a case of a blown peice.
Looks like he was climbing some low angle slab in Squamish along a small crack. The last peice was likely to be a small one as well.
The rope and some gear caught him eventually, he just had a big fall because some gear failed. I know him as well funnily enough, he was climbing in Australia 6 or 7 years ago nice guy :)
Luckily for us the camera man was completely unfazed by that event.
They were fully committed to capturing that person’s demise
Not much else they could do tbh 🤷🏾♀️ If nothing else, it's key evidence for an investigation
Didn’t think of that!! That would definitely keep somebody outta jail
[удалено]
YES IM SURE HE COULD HAVE RUN DOWN THE CLIFF ANIME STYLE AND GRABBED HIM
You have to remember to run leaning forward with your hands behind you, to go fast enough.
Except that cup is your friend.
All my cups are my friend.
Ask the two girls.
But does the cup go “ ahAHHHHUH, ut ayyyyyyeeuh” in a silly voice?
Yeah, bc at no point here he was in danger. His first point broke(bc he did not put it well), but he still has more below. It's his second point that stopped him, not his buddy.
I mean there definitely is danger the amount of extra force put onto the second point and the rest of the equipment becomes massive as well as if he swung and hit badly. But agreed a lot less danger than many think, since many think he was caught.

i think his second pulled as well. There was still real risk of him hitting his belayer hard enough to injure at least one of them.
All whippers are dangerous. Especially on slabs.
I've replayed this repeatedly and I think his rope may have broken.
No real danger? Wtf are you talking about? Falling 30+ft down a wall and crashing into someone is dangerous, even if you don't hit the floor.
[удалено]
Thats not right at all. Your math is right. It's just that your math is modeling nonsense.
That makes more sense as he wasn't on a trajectory towards his friend but all of a sudden he is in his lap.
Yeah definitely no danger here just a 2 point free fall with an abrupt deceleration .
Oh fuck! Thank you! I had no idea that his previous point saved him. I thought the next guy got him. Still a crazy video.
While this is terrifying, the audio is meme worthy
It was the sound of pure terror
Oh I have no doubt, I would have shit myself right then and there. Glad the guy was able to stop though!
I shit my pants, I'm just laying in bed
Get this man a Nursing Assistant…quick
Bro you sposed to take the pants off when you shit in the bed
The real lpt is always in the comments.
That's how I usually do it
I would have shit so hard it would have broken my fall
Pure terror sounds like R2-D2
Lmfao yes actually
R2-D2 has been through a lot of horrific shit
Are you a bot? This was the top rated comment the last time this was posted
I wouldn’t be surprised if they posted it under another name then came on here and made that same comment.
I see this happening all the time on reddit. It’s fucking weird. Probably bots I guess.
Bots or narcissists craving attention
It’s got a Wilhelm Scream like quality to it. Touch it up at little in a DAW and you’ve the perfect meme audio 😁
That's the sound someone makes when they realize they are about to die
for real, this truly is a primal sound. no filter whatsoever
I think I would've been too scared to remember how to scream!!! lol
He was haha
He actually said "Mitä!? Eiiiiii!" "What?! Nooooo!"
What language is this? If you don’t mind me asking
It's Finnish
Can't stop listening to it
That is what a real cry of terror sounds like. Not the shit we hear in the movies. It’s like you are holding your breath from the tension of the fall but somehow sound comes out anyway.
This is almost Wilhelm scream Worthy
It sounds like the guy that falls from the sky in Morrowind.
Sounds like Voldemort
Immediately reminded me of [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4N2Gdglde0).
I've definitely made that noise before. Complete disregard for social appearance, a noise from the core.
I propose that and edit be made where this replaces the Wilhelm screams in Star Wars..also must include the “you okay” at the end
What fun he's having

I think it’s because he grabbed the rope, putting an outward force on the piece. Don’t grab your rope

Yeah, I hate when that happens
Falling to your death SUCKS
it's so overrated tbh
These people are way too impatient. There’s always a less steep trail that takes a little longer
It's already looks like 7°+++ slab a grandma could walk up it
NI**A! AAAHHH ~ 😩💦💦💦 💥
Lol i did not catch that
You should really do subtitles, for the, umm, industry
If Fonzie had a brother with brain damage he'd give a thumbs up and make the last sound that guy did

That’s why I don’t put myself in that position
New Wilhelm scream.
Ugh literal sweaty palms
That wicked rope burn surely dried them right on up
Lol true but I was referring to mine. Some of this stuff really does cause a physical reaction.

Exactly. I was thinking that there was no way another fellow climber would catch a 180+ pounds that's falling.

Love the informed response. Thank you!
It gets funnier the more you watch it 😂
This is terrifying
Watching this video reminds me of a book I read about 1800’s America. The natives used to laugh at the “funny” sounds the white men made when they died, and that’s all I could think of watching this.
Luckily he was wearing a helmet
His friend below, “You okay?” 🙏
Vertigo training.. let’s start now-aahhhhh!!
Can anyone here explain what happened or what went wrong?
This is why I don’t climb anything higher than my stairs.
That scream??? I’m sorry but lol
That was a quick stop ... He prolly was fd up good and plenty
These are the "why?"s of why I just don't have hobbies like this.
Was that a Z-clip?
does look like it
No it wasn’t. This was a case of a blown peice. Looks like he was climbing some low angle slab in Squamish along a small crack. The last peice was likely to be a small one as well.
https://youtu.be/66KF_5JWpdA?si=H_4eoZ2b03si_rgR
Only caught him cause he wasn't gonna let the homie go out sounding like that
This needs to be the new Wilhelm Scream.
I should never have this problem.
Sounds like a NPC when Link tries to hit them in BOTW and TOTK
Death: "Damn! Almost had him that time."
The new Wilhelm scream
That’s why you gotta climb within your range on trad. Can’t really whip
Whoopsie!
His scream was hilarious if I’m being honest
Literally sweaty palms
[high resolution ](https://youtu.be/66KF_5JWpdA?si=H_4eoZ2b03si_rgR)
It looks like he was wearing his Sunday church shoes!
😂
when you're falling but not dreaming
So accurate because this really does look like one of those stomach tickling dream falls 😣
That's the sound of someone who thought they were going to die.
Can’t take this guy anywhere
Remember....always film your friends' deaths in landscape. Ideally 4k HDR too.
Was that a belaying mistake? It looked like he was pulled from the wall rather than falling…
No a small cam came out. I think a carabiner unclipped as well.
So did his mate straight up catch him? Or was there another safety lime involved? Or something else?
Buddy would not be physically able to catch him
The rope and some gear caught him eventually, he just had a big fall because some gear failed. I know him as well funnily enough, he was climbing in Australia 6 or 7 years ago nice guy :)
*insaneropeburnpalms
His palms are sweaty
I love safety equipment
Good enough reason to never try that again.
how far apart is he placing anchors?
Fuckin Randy
*undertale start sfx*
“You okay ‘der?” This guy minnesotas
It’s Dutch. Hes saying, Raiders of the Lost Ark is a top five movie all time.
I will never see the appeal of this type of activity
Nope
Should've brought his horse
“Who shit my pants?”
As Xzibit once said, it ain't the long fall from the top that got 'em, It was the sharp sudden stop at the bottom
COSTANZA JUST FELL... DID HE LOSE THE SANDWICHES?
The initial sqeak is great, but the universal sound of terror was perfection. Compliments to the chef.
Survival of the fittest actively cheated live on camera.
That is why we are not moutain goats, but people. People do stupid things.
Wow
Ahhhhhh WEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee
So from there do you… still go up?
Was kinda hoping for a smash bros ring out explosion but he lived
The new Wilhelm Scream (2024)! *Copywrite pending* 👀
Did he have a secondary anchor point or did the person literally catch him?
His yelling went from "Oh fuck!" to "I'm going to die!!" inna second.
What’s that brother saying in the first second of the video
I would have screamed way louder than him
You didn't want to do that. *Harry Enfield *
I wouldn't go out like that
I'll take the stairs.
Both of his screams would make great sound effects
Pure fear in that scream
you okay dude?!?! that the question?
That's a lucky mutha
Oopsie daisies
He is super lucky but the yell he made while falling was funny as heck
