The reason why Alex Huber is wearing a helmet; is actually to prevent a fall. If a rock breaks loose above him and hits his head, the helmet could prevent him from losing his grip, or even being knocked unconscious.
Dean Potter, who falls at 3:20 wears a BASE-Jumping parachute. Whenever he free solos. He is alive and kicking.
Chris Sharma, the guy that keeps falling into the water is very impressive but the consequences of failure on the route were by no means death due to the fact he was deep water soloing and not free soloing. He was the only one not free soloing in the video besides Monkey Man at the end.
As of right now DAN OSMAN & JOHN BACKAR are the only one's dead. DAN braking a WR and JOHN died from a climbing accident! RIP
