Good God. I didn't know any of this.

Even more scary, my daughter didn't know anything about it either - and
she's a paramedic with London Ambulance Service. It all made perfect sense
to her once she read it.

It's pretty well known to anyone who does rock climbing, if someone
falls you have to get them off the rope as soon as possible even at
risk of some further injury.
