Not best think while it happened, but bad in a good way afterwards:

I fell on lead. The fall was longer than I had expected, but I ended up at a safe distance from the rocky ground - 5-6 meters. There was a thin list the place I had ended up and I stepped onto the wall ready to move up.

The belayer (in a thin and not so sure voice): "Stop! Are you able to hang there? I have to change belay device."
