i have on several occasions been 20'+ up at a gym when i realized i hadn't clipped into the auto belay. Fortunately there's always an easy route down at a gym.

I wonder how long it will take for PG to get a letter from his attorney. They oughta sue him! Or the person standing next to him when he decked for "severe mental and emotional trauma".

I fell from 6-7 feet and broke my heel bone. This guy fell 30 feet and no broken bones???
A lot of gyms have floors that are roughly the equivalent of a bouncy castle.

Seems the likelihood of the gym suing him would be higher than the guy using (edit: suing) the gym. The gym has clear rules he violated, and in doing so endangered the other customers. Even if he didn't get hurt, there's a good chance it could impact the gym's insurance rates which is a material financial damage. But I'm a legal idiot nonlawyer, just spewing on a forum for no apparent reason, so take me with a grain of salt.

it makes you realize that NOT decking is the name of the game
Yep. part of my training program for new outdoor climbers questioning their gear placements is, "just don't fall".
Seems to work. (although I need to remember that too sometimes, it hurts. But I've been blessed with no broken parts...)

Oh gawd, that ankle. Was it a break or dislocation? It was at such a 90 degree angle I woulda thought a fracture would have been compound.
