My wife used one today off the top of missing link, it was set up so that once it engaged it was still within
reach, being a french prussic meant that jen did not have to foot lock up to disengage it, just pull down
on the top of it (jen is also very aware that it must be released if anything goes wrong to allow it to lock)
As to "people who have died" from having the prussic lock out of reach, I can only repeat what I said
earlier " if you don't understand the system, then don't use it" those unfortunate souls who died probably
had little or no understanding of the system, I see it all the time out at the crag, people who have enough
information/knowledge to get themselves into trouble.... but not enough to get themselves out of it again.
