Now there are people on this forum that know more about this than me, but I would think that trad gear falls out a hell of a lot more often than shiny ring bolts, whoever places them. In terms of risk assessment I think bolts win out pretty clearly. Deck falls happen all the time from trad zippering out but I've only heard of one unfortunate incident involving bolts coming off. |
