On Bank Holiday Monday a few years back Mark Roberts (18years) fell 150 to the ground while passing the knot when abseiling down Malham. He survived with some pretty bad injuries but 150' basically free fall to the ground without dying was pretty amazing.

Was it a free fall? I thought he got tangled in the rope which slowed him down but also gave him some very nasty burns.
I heard that he was comforted immediately afterwards by yourself and Steve Roberts, poor lad must have thought he'd got double vision
