Update on Bkt Tabur incident






The lady that felled from the rope is now on the road to recovery, with 2 broken ribs and deep gash at her forehead.



Fortunately on that day, Uncle Eric Lee and frens were there at Bkt Tabur 1 else I would not know whether she can be located.



I saw Eric pix and sms hom, later he called and told me that he met the group while going up and told them to be careful esp the rope part and someone must be at the bottom to guide.



The lady that felled, she lost her balance and let go the rope and fell to the orchard, its more than 100ft down. Luckily for her, the tree branches was there to break her fall.When Eric heard about it, he ran down to the orchard and took him 20mins to locate the lady, when he reached she was unconscious and bleeding from her forehead. The rescue team came and got her down in the afternoon.



So guys... whne u climbed or going down with the rope, u shd control the rope not the rope control u....
