Pole Climbing Accident / Fall 2008-07-28 Michael LeCesse in Mackinaw City, MI

This is a video of Scott Thompson (on left) and me, Micheal LeCesse (on right) competing against each other at the Jack Pine Lumber Jack Shows in Mackinaw City, MI. The top of the poles are 55ft and I fell from the 45ft. mark. I broke my left foot and right leg, but I am up and walking around again and I'm alive! Enjoy.

Lmao, no, I am alive. I put my thumbs up when I landed!!! I had a broken right leg and broken left foot.

I love the lumber jack show. The best part was the log rolling :)

@lilybillson

Yeah, I definitely miss log rolling. I have since been on a pole, however, I'm not quite as quick as I used to be, lol.

That's a real bitch when both your spikes kick out.....not that it's ever happened to me.

@trulysapient I thought they would have had safety ropes to catch you with a belayer.
