i tied a 1/2 inch cable to the bottom of the railroad tressel we would lock in our harnesses and jump off. one night i decided to go out of the tree. i went for a really high spot as i hooked the foot loop on a branch and climbed on a branch i found out i couldn't reach the rope. so i stuck my foot in the loop to bring it close to me and the branch i was sitting on broke. so i fell with my foot in the loop 45 feet. only problem was there was only 3 feet of clearence off the bottom. so i am 5'8". so 2'8" drug the ground into a tree stump. i was very fortunate though. i would have probally drowned in the creek, but luckily, the poison ok stopped from rolling. i had my entire right arm reconstructed, ruptured my spleen, broke 6 ribs, collar bone, 3 brakes in the leg, shattered my wrist in to so many places i had over 7 pins, broke the bridge of my foot, my heel, fractured my pelvis and removed almost all the skin on my left side of my body. and if you didnt catch on... i got fucking poison oak everywhere else i had skin. as for pics, i kept all the hardware that was screwed into my body and all the pins. along with all the x rays. what really suck was i an amatuer rock climber and had just got through audtionsa for fear factor when it was big... al went down the drain
Holy shit, you broke the fuck out of your body! And sucks about the poison oak, talk about adding insult to injury.

My rock climber friends made some crazy ass rope swings off bridges, I never would do it as it just looked too fucking sketchy, they all thought it was "strange" that a skydiver/extreme sports fanatic would pass on it until a carabiner/knot failed and a friend broke his hip and femur.
