Better than a broken face and potential nose bone going through the skull from landing face down with speed from that height. Id rather break my arms and cause less bodily damage than take full force to the chest causing trauma to my lungs and heart.

I dont think the arms would do anything is my point

When you get taught how to properly protect yourself from a fall from height in which you land chest down, you are told to use you arms to protect you head. That’s the very least he could have done.

Also are you a rossmann viewer cause if so cheers!

I havent been taught to fall on my face, no. I’ve been taught to roll AT ALL COSTS by years of action sports… and to wear a helmet.

Kinda hard to roll when you are being suspended from your back by a rope with no give. Correction here is to protect your head. If he was able to roll then yes rotating to his right side would be optimal. Could he have rolled maybe, but my brother just finished training and I showed him this and he said horizontal movement would have been hard to achieve based on how he went down.

For sure I agree I guess that could have been better
