Personal life

In 2018, von Moger suffered another devastating injury, this time injuring his right knee while attempting to rappel off a cliff. Calum lost his footing after the rope did not fully support him, and in the fall hyper-flexed his knee, causing his patella to tear from his MCL, LCL, and patellar tendon. Additionally, in von Moger's attempts to gain control of his descent, he once again re-injured his left bicep.
