“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
i meant me...that takes a huge amount of skill i'm sure. i drive a motorcycle faster than that and i know how hard it is to "aim" for an opening like that on a highway.

A 22-year-old Utah man was killed trying to swing through the opening of a 110-foot-tall sandstone arch in a stunt made so popular on YouTube that state authorities recently banned the daredevil activity by commercial outfitters.
Kyle Lee Stocking, of West Jordan, left too much slack in the rope he was using, and it sent him crashing into the sandstone base of Corona Arch near Moab, Grand County sheriff's officials said. He died Sunday afternoon.
Viral videos have bolstered the activity, which involves swinging wildly from ropes through arch and canyon openings.
“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”

Crazy. I took a fall lead climbing from about 15 feet up last year. So that's 15 feet to the nearest piece of gear, then 15 feet further then rope stretch. All in all a little over 35 feet and I thought that was nutty. Now granted there was a lot of shit around to hit and I got pretty lucky.

Yup, I took a 10m fall about 15 yrs ago - like you said, it's a 20m fall and it frikken hurt like hell. The rope went in the bin after that.
I don't lead anymore, but still love climbing

First off that isn't Jeb, secondly that takes more skill than your could ever fathom.
Ol'Jeb isnt doing so great after impacting that rock ledge last year and breaking his ankles, toes, fibula, tore his ACL, had to get skin grafts, etc etc.
