  10. Took a fall the other day, when the rope took up my bottom half
  11. stopped but my top half kept going sideways, result: A crushed,
  12. compressed? rib. Wouldn't have happened if I had been wearing a
  13. chest harness. 
  14. When I get back into action I am thinking of wearing one as i can't
  15. think of any other way i could have prevented it. I haven't got the
  16. instincts of a cat so that i don't always fall correctly.
  17. Anybody had similiar experiences?
  18. Yeh, Yeh, I know, you don't fall right? :-)
