Probably worth considering always clipping a quickdraw into the high point of an anchor (in this case the bolt) before setting off. Once the leader has placed a few other pieces you can unclip it. Saves this kind of factor 2 fall. I also think a GriGri would have helped prevent this accident. Lucky for them the leader sustained minimal injuries - it could have been much worse.If the belayer gets beaten up a bit that is just a sidenote. No belayer is going to get killed being thrown around on a stance - but a leader being dropped can easily result in death.
