Grigri abseiling accident 9-Feb-2015 At 1:59:07 PM Snacks
Message
Abseiling with the device 30cm away from the belay loop on a sling would help prevent that happening as the device would always be away from the body by the time the rope is re-tensioned.

But still for that to happen with the ledge he must have sat back on the rope without holding his device.


I'd argue that if he did the same thing with an atc he'd be just as screwed and it has very little to do with the device...

Though it's a shame he didn't have one of those dodgy ones where the handle snaps. haha
