I am that casualty in the picture! I should firstly say that the coastguard team were amazing, what a team they are.
Secondly, I probably fell about 30ft, definitely not 75.
I have some broken bones - ribs, back, and at the time had a collapsed lung. Thanks to these guys I got to A&E in good time, in as much comfort as one could expect for the severe injuries I have, and am now home and walking (gingerly) about.
Hi, its always great to hear that casualties are doing well.
All the best in your recovery, we hope that you are back climbing once all sorted. Swanage CG Team.
(I've amended the blog to 30ft)
