My friend hit the ground at what looked like full force, as if she was not roped up at all. She landed on her tail bone and although it's not broken, it's mighty sore and really limiting her ability to get around.
In reply to: Gblauer says "it looked as if" the belayer dropped the climber. I think the implication was that the belayer did not let the rope slip; only that the resulting fall was comparable.
I see. I misunderstood because the broken up sentence. I get it now.
lol. edited to correct my grammar.
