It's a little different than like free falling off of a cliff.
That's like sliding down a mountain.
But yeah, I got totally messed up and yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I've like broken my arm several times as a kid falling off things.
And and then with a rope as a climber, you take big falls like routinely, you know, when you have protection.
That's like part of the sport, basically.
I mean, it's certainly easy to visualize falling 700, you know, when you're like standing on a little ledge and it's bulging and you're looking down here.
You know, it's easy to be like, oh, my God.
You know, it's like if you just bend forward a little bit, you're just going to take a swan dive like 70, 100 feet to the ground.
Safer than you would think.
Everyone thinks it seems crazy, but it's not that crazy.
I don't know actual statistics, but...
I suspect that it's actually pretty comparable to skiing or something, you know, because like recreational skiers die all the time, like falling in tree wells or like going off cliff spikes and things like that.
Climbing is actually surprisingly safe, which is one of the things I love about climbing.
I mean, climbing is very, it's very sort of binary where it's like either you're totally safe or you're going to die.
And the odds of you dying are very, very, very small.
But because they're there, they always keep you on.
You know what I mean?
