Summary[edit]

Canyoneer wearing a heavy backpack fell onto a log and hurt his ribs.

Accounts[edit]

While crossing a log jam in the short pothole section, a branch I was standing on snapped under my body/pack weight. I fell about a foot and landed on my right ribs. Exited with very little pain or discomfort. A few days later, it seems like this may take a while to recover from. Dav (talk) 16:34, 20 August 2019 (EDT)
