    Happens to the best of us. He needs a good story about a bear. I’d support that.

    I'd heard that he hurt himself earlier hiking, stayed at the hut hoping it would get better, then hurt himself again. Didn't know he fell out of the bunk. Zealand hut isn't too bad of a carryout. Not like some of them

    At least they didn’t have to get helicoptered out like this doctor in NZ who also fell off a bunk. Found this while searching for the article.

    In written English it is customary to capitalize the first letter of each sentence as well as the first letter of proper nouns such as the word English. Additionally the use of sentence fragments is frowned upon.

    I don't think c'mon is a proper contraction either.

    I would say it is a common contraction. It is not standard English, but this is not formal writing.

    With a broken hip, or any serious injury, I would imagine that pride has left the equation, and embarrassment is the last thing a person would be worried about.

    What’s embarrassing about an accident like this?

    No, 63 years old. I heard the story from a local who was familiar with the incident and what wasn't reported.

    Sorry about my spelling, sometimes I don't see them until after I post. Guess I need to pony up a donation again so I can edit.

    My useless super power is spotting spelling and grammar errors in that half second after I hit the post button.
