It can happen to anyone; it doesn’t take much. Two weeks ago, one of my best friends passed away. An experienced mountaineer, he had climbed all over Europe, in Peru, and in the Himalayas. He was at the top of a quarry, got too close to the edge, and slipped. What a tragedy :(

You can see how I worry...snakes, untrustworthy trail mates...I'm so glad I didn't know about the rock climbing until it was over. Being a parent, or grandparent means letting go of the things you can't control. But you never stop worrying.

I am so very sorry about your friend. With all that experience, he still miscalculated the danger and fell.
