Forgot to close belay biner (again) - bought auto locker.
Rapping over ledge recently, slipped, swung to right so instinctively put out right hand letting go of rope (in 20 yrs had never let go of brake hand) with left still on rope, fell a few fast meters, thrust right hand into belay device - bad rope burn, arrested fall with thumb web of hand in rap device, shat self - if rap looks tricky I now use autoblocker.
