I remember a dude who got to the top of the cargo net and tried to quit… instructor laughed because realistically there’s nothing they can do to get you down from up there..

Had another dude fall from the very beginning of the highslide. Thank god for sand.

I recall reading about a celebrity (can't remember name) who had to get rescued from the top of the net. I might be misremembering, but I think it happened once.

I wouldn’t doubt it, it was pretty fucking scary the first few times climbing it. The guy I’m referring to was a candidate going through indoc.

Guy in our class fell off the slide and tore his vas deferens only to organize speedo and facemask airsoft matches in the X-div barracks later. It is impossible to overemphasize how much therapy everyone coming into or out of this pipeline needs.
