Permadraws are pretty rare in switzerland. I've only ever seen them on routes above 7b on unpopular or obscure crags, where they are clearly some locals long term project who's left up an old set of draws longterm. Given that they are so rare and there was still a fatality says allot about their safety. Actually when it happend I assumed it was a biner at the lower off, which are often shoddy worn aluminium biners in Switzerland. I have never seen purpose built steel permadraws in switzerland, so I don't think they can be blamed in this case.
