Yeh an I heard a numpty euro botch bolted near bbb an someone died relying on it. Also anotha numpty connected quick draws to biners with the rubber rings a while back an a kid died climbin on them so I'm giving up botched boltz an Orings 4 sure.
U can't B 2 careful when it comes to numpty watch as they do the most amazing things, an itz not like climbing iznt dangerous enough already.
If U want further proof just ask our fiend Eddy cos he has the survival scars to prove it.
