Just goes to show how much more dangerous the gym is than a place like, oh, say, Borneo.
Dang dude. Speedy recovery.

Wow, so yous guys jump all over a single unverified internet post? I hope it's a troll.
And if knott - heal up well!
Gyms are dangerous. You could fall. You could get hurt. Stick to the big walls.
Hey, you litigious Merricans - where's a lie-yer when you need one*?
Cheers,
A Former Frankenankle,
Pretty much recovered

Temporary thread drift:
PHILO: if, as it seems, that is your original work/drawing, you are incredibly, unbelievably skilled. Both the thought behind it and the actually pencil-to-paper work are just amazing.
You've posted it before and I've always assumed that it is your original work, but never taken the time to comment.
LARGO: Damn, the last thing a guy needs.... I hope you heal well and that you keep your normal great attitude and sense of humor.

Is it too early to start blaming a Kryptonite infused Grigri? The top climbing writer of the age augered in at a gym? WTF? That's like saying things went bad after Ron Jeremy slept with Lorena Bobbitt and she cut his slong off. Just...not....right.
Add me to the long list of well wishers John. Heal up.
Cosmic: LOL. Thanks for the entertaining comments all the way down the thread too.

That totally sucks.
I destroyed an ACL tendon and tore some of the meniscus jumping down a few feet in the gym. I've jumped off boulders without pads from way higher hundreds of times. It is now ten months after the reconstruction operation and I'm climbing ok but can't really run or jump rope without pain.
I'm convinced that landing on a pad was actually the cause; my ankle rolled into the squishiness, allowing my knee to displace inward. But I should also admit that because of the pads and the disco atmosphere of the gym, I may not have been paying as much attention as I should have to how I landed.
Unfortunately, (a) gravity never sleeps and (b) it is just as strong indoors as out.
Hope you heal up well Largo.

man that'd be rad if this were a troll.
It's more 'unbelievable' than watching the race for the Nose.
But if not then a speedy recovery and painless wishes sent your way Largo.
