Re: Russia - Climber Falls To His Death
Expected something a little different from the title. It's only fun to watch these if it's one of those nutters that calls himself "Spiderman" or whatever that does reckless thrill-seeking, illegally climbing or parkouring 10+ story buildings or something. But any death video is appreciated here on DR  |

Re: Russia - Climber Falls To His Death
Dummy dip shit using frayed safety lines deserves to die. Usually I'd feel sympathy but I've done work like that with fall protection and you inspect the lines every time before you use them. So he's got only himself to blame  |

Re: Russia - Climber Falls To His Death
Didn’t look THAT high up, perhaps a younger, more fit guy could’ve survived. I’ve seen people survive falls from heights far higher.

Re: Russia - Climber Falls To His Death
These are always kind of funny because these dudes tend to be so reckness and stupid. I'm still haunted by one of the first death videos I saw on DR - a guy with no safety harness or climbing gear whatever wearing regular full length pants and a red alligator shirt is climbing a 150' rock cliff face straight up at a national park or something. He gets 10' from the top, panics because he can't find anything to grip to pull himself up, then tumbles ass over elbows down down down until he hits the ground with an audible "OOOMPH!" sound coming from his now destroyed lungs. The woman filming says "Oh, My!" or something in a minnie mouse voice Anyone remember that? Wish I could find it again.
