TIP Failure results in broken pelvis and broken L5

Now, if he falls again, he'd better get out of the biz.

Yep!

Long before he falls...


He blacked-out screaming along to music or something while he was driving to his post-recover jobsite.


YouTube does very little to teach judgment.

??? You lost me there mate.

Better get out of the biz BEFORE he falls, again.


He video narrated that he blacked-out on the highway while jamming out, en route to post-accident climbing job number 1. https://youtu.be/0CBwJHhCMls

It does make you wonder what could have caused that. Hopefully it was just a low probability fluke, and not any byproduct of his medical issues.

My first thought was maybe related to the Valsalva Maneuver...it makes you light headed after hard exertion (like bench pressing and holding your breath...a no-no).

It does happen to singers...also respiratory alkalosis...if you want to read further https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/32015/physical-problems-during-singing/32037

Wow, Gary, great post! I had never heard of either of the above mentioned items. I did not take time to read through the whole explanation of the Valsalva Maneuver just yet, as it is highly detailed and it is getting late. I need to read through it when I'm fully alert to get the max benefit from it. I thought they said that power lifters use the technique, though.

My bet is that the second thing you proposed, respiratory alkalosis, is the correct guess as to what happened to him, as trying to sing hard is exactly the activity he was engaged in.

Unbelievable that someone on such a relatively small forum would know the answer to this. Thanks again.
