    I think you should be more worried about not being stabbed in the eye.

    Damn, rock hiking is some dangerous shit. I've been lucky enough to only slip on rocks when there's deep water below me. Still scarry as shit even with the lower stakes. Probably the best place he could have landed at least. Better a patch of green twigs than off a cliff or on a boulder.

    At Uni I was doing a mapping project in the pyrenees, slipped and slid and rolled about 50 yards, got lucky nothing really hurt but legs and arms were pretty bruised, it's scary having so little control over your body and having no idea where you are going to end up, mountain I was on had loads of Vipers on it as well which did go through my mind. When my professor turned up a few days later he asked about the bruises when I told him the story, he said "Oh yeah I'm meant to tell you not to cover that area as the rocks are too slippy to work without ropes".
