This story is so sad. And so easily prevented. Even after all these years have gone by, it is still a controversial accident.
I have a few questions about this big-wall climber’s actions:
- Was there a crash pad below? How about a spotter?
- Was his harness attached and doubled back?
- Did the harness fit right? (It could be his ovoid shape prevented a proper fit.)
- Did he use a proper knot?
- Was his belayer paying attention or just thinking of breakfast?
So climbers pay attention out there. If you don’t want your insides scrambled, be careful where you sit.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
He didn't get bruised,
He didn't get bumped,
'Cause Humpty Dumpty bungee jumped...
humpty dumpty didn't fall. he was pushed it's a conspriacy.
humpty dumpty is eighteenth century slang for a short and clumsy person.
Everyone likes a happy ending.
