Thread: Took a tumble with my gear...(pics)

    Default Took a tumble with my gear...(pics)

    So I was taking pics of a drainage system at work when I was ALMOST done when I tried to jump down from some larger rocks to get down to a lower area. The rock I jumped down to was angled down a little more than I thought and when I landed my upper body rotated forward and I fell flat with my camera mounted to my monopod. It was a Matrix moment as it all happened in s l o w M o t i o n. I was able to lift up my left arm saving my camera. The right side pad did come in contact with a rock on recoil but there is only a small mark on the pad that can be replaced when it wears out. I never let go of it and there was no harm. My knees and pride on the other hand... Fuck that's embarassing! Here's a pic of where I fell and a crude route of my travels as well as a couple of rash pics. Anyone else ever take a fall with their gear?

    I fall with my gear almost every time I use it.

    but then again, the gear is my mountain bike... and it's not a good ride without someone in the group crashing at least once...

    Ouch Dave that sucks. At least you're not seriously hurt.

    I haven't fallen with my gear yet. I almost did when I went to Treasure Island. it woulda been a pretty hefty tumble as the area I managed to land on was about 2.5 feet from a cliff edge (I was up at the CoastGuard center on the top). Stupid dusty slaps of concrete.. @.@

    Ouch.

    Although, you delivered with the artful photoshop pic of the tumble.
