Is it possible to buy a life insurance policy on someone you don't know and make yourself the beneficiary because I don't see this guy making it too much farther in life.

I reckon his partner will die first from rockfall from that rubble pile he's on.

He falls at around 1:40, take Dramamine if you intend to watch past that(there's no real reason to.)

Looks like he is a user here, and even posted that video to this site.
I hope he replies in here.
Jason, you need to take a step back before you get yourself hurt. You definitely should not be instructing others at this point either.

What I like best is this explanation that accompanies the video, especially the bolded parts:
guy who fell wrote: My friend is new to lead belaying and panicked when I fell. When I fell, I fell around 30ft give or take through a tree onto a some boulders when the rock I grabbed ended up being unstable and pulling out of the cliff face. Somehow at the time I felt nothing and was able to keep climbing, later though my back was bothering me. Tiffany did a great job belaying that day, just made a simple beginner mistake and did not drop her brake hand, plus with my run out, it was a free fall to the ground. I will however trust her to belay me again in the future. And yes, the audio cuts out a lot, I edited some stuff out intentionally |

Bummer - he marked his videos private, and has removed the fall video from here.
Speak up Jason - maybe someone will meet up with you and you can improve?

PATHETIC that he took it down after reading the criticism. His balls must grow inward.

Don't tell him what to do, he's a pro.

OK, enough stalking, I guess, but it was linked in his youtube channel.

Nothing beats a belayer who does a great job belaying except when you fall.

I watched one of the videos with an "interview" and he seems like a nice guys whos just SUPER psyched on climbing. So much so that it's working against him. He should probably just slow down a bit and get some more mileage and trade craft under his belt before jumping in to the deepend of trad climbing and freesoloing.
Meh. We all did dumb shit when we were young and wanting to climb every second of every day. Most of us got lucky and are still kicking around.
