The points you make should be considered in the the incident investigation. Have you ever voiced them with the management, if so what was their response. "Its always so over crowded and the lead climbers I have witnessed are usually not aware of the danger..." what about their belayers? I hope their switched on and talking (to their climber).
Hope any injuries are not to bad and the person is back on rope soon.
