Let's all comment on freak accidents in this thread.
From Canadian alpine club journal(2002):
In early August two climbers, Lucie Poirier and Jacques Veillette
fell to their deaths while on a three day big-wall climbing endeavour
on Cap Trinité. They had set up a porta-a-ledge camp at 100m
on the cliff and were on it when their unit failed. Investigators concluded
that the climbers had made two grave errors. They had tied
themselves off to equipment loops on the port-a-ledge itself , and
had neglected to tie themselves off to the wall directly. When the port-a-ledge failed due to overloading, they were pulled down and carried with it to the bottom of the cliff.
WEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

On approximately August 21, 1971...no, lets make that 1978. My mother, previously determined to be unable to bear children, had had (can I do that?) decidedly too much to drink. My father, likewise enebriated, mistook my mother for his office assistant. 9 months later. You guessed it. Me.

Yup, but in this case you don't need to. One had works fine.
