Saw something simular about 8 years ago at the Gunks. Guy was setting up a top rope while tired after a day of climbing, and went over. Landed on the tril right in front of his son.
They dropped a biner earlier, and father said not top use it anymore because it fell 20 feet. Too bad he didn't think safety when setting the top rope up, and have a safety line.
