      Not a defense mechanism obviously (since those are meant to keep you alive). More like stress/trauma overload resulting in vasovagal syncope.

    • @zacharylaschober
      @zacharylaschober 3 роки тому +1

      The amount of force through his pulley dynoing off of the full or closed crimp is likely less than the force which would’ve been through should he have stuck the next hold reasonably open handed. This is unlikely to be an acute injury.
      A full and closed crimp is fine and often essential, but needs to be trained and employed appropriately.

    Funny story, I hiked the Grand Canyon. Zero issues going down but developed vertigo on a day hike on the second day. The hike out of there was torture. My body kept wanting to stop. Hands and feet were totally soaked in sweat. I was able to overcome it but at certain points I was worried I was going to get stuck on the trail. I had never had this issue on any other trails I have hiked. Very weird.

  • @TheMrGunmann

    The sewing machine leg is not always connected to the hysteria ;) I sometimes have it due to some muscle thing... While belaying in a group of three (obviously securely tied into the anchor wit my daisy chain), my left leg started to have weird spasms. Probably I have just been tiring out some of the deeper muscles around the knee. Interestingly enough, the third person in the group with medical training, just pushed some pressure point and stopped that leg being a sewing machine. Anatomy is a weird and interesting thing...

    I’ve had shakes a few times but 9/10 times I reposition which ever limb is shaking to release pressure off the nerve and then I’m able to stop the shake. Most times it’s because I’m on my toe with my foot at a certain angle.

    Pulley strains and ruptures can just happen. Pro climbers get them, experienced amateurs get them; I've gotten two injuries in my hands/fingers (one pulley strain, one lumbrical muscle strain) and both times have been climbing below my limit after years of conditioning on harder climbing. The pulley injury I didn't even notice until a rest day when I started experiencing pain. Of course you can do exercises for injury prevention (and I had done) and climbing with technique that reduces risk, but bodies rebel sometimes.

    • @kade6427
      @kade6427 2 роки тому

      I’m pretty sure this happens when there is too much force on your fingers when crimping. Very common injury with climbing unfortunately. Resistance training of the forearms may help, but those tendons can be very sensitive lol.
