OUCH!! Gawdamn that hurt just to watch.
Climber was prolly fine with a scuffed elbow, while the spotter had two broken arms, a dislocated knee and a noggin split wide open.
Sheeeeeit!!

one thing worth noting that I see in many of these photos is the spotter has thumbs sticking out. That's a great way to sprain/break your thumbs. keep all five digits next to each other.

Yeah, Fet's GIF gives me PTSD flashbacks to a couple of instances on actual
climbs. One didn't involve any sort of belay anchor and the other the 'anchor'
was a #2 and a #3 stopper behind an expando flake the size of a serving platter.
Now I'll have waking nightmares the rest of the day. THANKS! :-)

Photo of a photo. Apologies for the poor picture quality.
But you get the idea.
Not visable is the rock in the landing zone and the ridge rest "bouldering pad".

Not much spotting going on here unless you count his underwear. He did come flying out at a higher point....
