I can't even imagine how that is possible if you're doing a controlled descent feeding the rope through your brake hand... Though, I can kinda see how if you abseil down quite quickly, then suddenly "lock-off" the Gri-Gri that you'll bungee up and can awkwardly twist backwards and have all kinds of shit happen... especially on a 150m abseil... Alot of people rely on the handle to control the speed of the descent and simply let the rope feed freely through their hand and let the handle go as a way of stopping. Usually bungeeing the whole way down their abseil whenever they stop. Maybe your mate does this?
