That spot is safer than it looks on video. And I've been using it for 40 yrs. I do carry a climbing harness in case I try more challenging spots. But I usually just go to my old reliable places. Incidently... I have been hog tied by my own safety rope several times. I do tie off the net... Which is usually what gets people in trouble. They get something in the net they can't handle and refuse to let it go. It's a judgement call I guess.... with consideration given to the spot itself, the experience and fitness of the person, current conditions at the site, etc.
Excellent content Jon….

Had to stop watching. No lifejacket. Not tied off. Looks like you might not be long for this world.
