What's unique to this thread, unlike a million other accident threads of ST, is that we have no real information on what happened so we can't go on saying what should have happened in hindsight, and blame various acts or people for the incident, only to be found wrong when the actual details some out.
Very sly, having this all so secret. I mean gyms are supposed to be idiot proof, but since we're confident Largo is not an Idiot, apparently the safety measure weren't designed to protect him

I actually like it that way ;). The upshot is he got hurt. I don't really care about the accident report unless it's some kind of novel way to go about hurting yourself. I know we always need to know to protect others, yadda yadda yadda, but sometimes that info is just used to decide whether or not we should feel sorry and learn, or call somebody a gumbie.

Ho Man! Does that ever hurt so.
I get the feeling this is a much worse than average open tib-fib injury.
I'm suspecting JL is still in some trouble and a lot of pain..
Details probably not important right now..
I'm loopy but one thing is clear - there's a lot of love in the climbingg world, and I must be getting the bulk of it over the last few days. I am embarrassed to have raised others on this site only to have them wish me good cheer. Thanks to all, from the bottom of my heart. You are my heros.
Hey Largo,
When I broke my ankle up at Suicide in 1985, I'm sure glad you were there to help me out. If there's anything I can do to reciprocate, please let me know. At least that explains why I didn't see you out at Josh this weekend... Hope you heal up fast.

Dare I say that we all pine for you, no we long for you. We need to hear the your dear sweet voice. You are our master of the stone, our Sage, our guide to all the thrilling adventures of a misspent youth.
Hearing of your mighty fall, we can only say NO, say it ain't so. Not our pillar of stone, you who are one of the gods, the leader cannot fall, no never.
We mere mortals may fall, but not our dear John, we are so sad to know that you to may be only flesh and blood and not made of mighty granite.
We long to know that you will soon rise again, you are our master of stone, the keeper of our words, the hero of our youth, long may you reign.
Let us know!
