Hit the ground from 18m and is in a serious condition.

I hope he pulls through.

Legend is sometimes over-used but Kurt surely was.  On a poxy via ferrata as well.

According to a link posted on the UKC, he's still alive on a respirator although unlikely to survive. Very sad.

18 months in ICU is better than 24 hours.  Let's hope he makes a full recovery.
