Why hospitalized? Why was he arrested while strapped to a gurney?

Something stinks here.

Something stinks here.

YES!
I would like to hear a bit of his climbing history??

His firsts? His high points?

I once met Spider Dan Goodwin (Sears tower, Hancock, CN tower...)

He was total muscle, zero fat,CUT...
Climbers usually are in good shape, but he was a stand out!

From the photos, this guy/ not so much.

Just try getting out of a Hospital when they know you can pay!

Why hospitalized?

If you watch the video, the police were aggressive at pulling him through the window. He's lucky he didn't injure or lose some of his baby-making facilities.

Of course, he had only the police and the straps to the suction cups holding him up 21 stories, and the police had very little to hold onto themselves.

As they pulled him inside, they were using a lot of force. The guy was wearing shorts, so he his legs were exposed against the windowframe.

Hospitalization was probably cautionary.

I don’t think so. Gurneying him was probably a very good idea. He was drinking a lot of water, and not urinating, so water intoxication is one possibility.

And lactic acid buildup (from climbing) is another possibility. Potentially life-threatening because it can also affect the heart. Lower blood ph, lowered ability to absorb oxygen, thirst that cannot be relieved with water, muscle weakness and fatigue, irregular heartbeat, circulatory shock follows.

The good news is he’s young and fit, so he may pull thru just fine.
