Didn't you guys take any pads with you?

[andy_e]

Didn't you guys take any pads with you?

that landing to helicopter doesn't look safe enough to me...

[Stubbs]

If you've ever crawled out of one of your quarries and been on helecopter you'll know that you want as many pads as possible to avoid the 540 spin to spiral tib/fib fracture landing when you don't stick the hold.

[tommytwotone]

word, check that httpbloc vid for evidence of that...

[SA Chris]

Aye, seen http:/. It was merely an observation, intended to raise a smile :shock:

TTT do you ever check your pm? Email me with an address for you that will accept largish files. Finally got that pic of you scanned.

[Bonjoy]

Once saw Pat King take a lob flat onto his back from the top of Helicopter, without any pads. Oooof! :shock:

[Stubbs]

Sorry, came across more heavily that i intended it to.

I think when i missed the worst i probably landed where the brownish pad is in the picture, facing the boulder after having spun 360. Fun to fall of, but I think the potential for pain is high though!

[unclesomebody]

a french kid died a few years ago when he fell off Helicopter. He had no pads and hit the tree stump that is in the landing zone.

[DScuffle]

Nasty.

I had a painfull spill off of this, I would have missed every mat in that photo.  I held on as long as I could, but my rotation sent me into a flat spin and managed to sprain both wrists as I landed amongst the tree roots on my side.  Spent the rest of the week trying to climb without bending my wrists.

Funnily enough, I haven't bothered trying again.

[Jim]

have never tried it but was amusing when was there with toby, he did it first go, stopped rotating and said (aussie accent) "wow, did you see that helicopter. what this problem called, its awesome"

[Huffy]

No way! :shock:

[andy_e]

[Scouse D]
