You lean back for a simple rappel down the cliff and away you go. What horror for a few seconds.

2.23 seconds to fall 80 feet. Enough time for a very short prayer.

Probably had a really unique cool view for a few seconds.

Yep. Once on a boat I took hold of a line I thought was secure but wasn’t and landed in the drink. That first instant is an odd feeling. Can maybe imagine the next several seconds of a big fall, but probably not.

RIP Tina.
