kevbone Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Bummer for him. It has always astonished me how many pro climbers dont wear a helmet. Seems like such a simple thing. You would never see NASCAR racers not wearing there seat belts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeR Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Dave wears a helmet a ton in his movie E11. I'd like to see how a helmet would have protected his foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfinley Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I'd like to see how a helmet would have protected his foot. Escaping without a head injury when the fall involves "somersaulting down the turfy scrambling ground below, eventually coming to a violent stop wrapped around a birch tree on the slope below" is pure luck. That said - day 6 and 80% ankle range of movement? I broke my ankle last year... on day 6 I was still lying on the couch in a Percocet daze.
