A Hole Is Nothing At All, But You Can Break Your Neck In It
“A hole is nothing at all, but you can break your neck in it.” – Austin O’Malley
You know, the most dangerous holes aren’t the obvious ones with sharp edges and a straight vertical drop, those you can see pretty
easily.
The ones I get caught in (and sometimes break my neck in) are the ones that seem to be just a gentle decline, you don’t even know you are getting in a hole at all. But soon enough you are in it. The climb out is not fun and you are beating yourself up the
whole time for, once again, getting in a hole you should have avoided.
My solution? Wear a helium pack on your back at all times. Either that or work like hell to be aware and avoid being stupid and easily tempted. Helium sounds easier to me.
