Easter Death in the Organ Pipes	23-Apr-2003 At 10:50:25 AM	hardcore

The Age article seems to question whether a helmet would have helped. It also stated that Christopher Mann's gear 'gave way' - which could suggest that the gear pulled rather than failed. The article then goes on to question of the role of climbing gyms - I presume in the context that they do not teach gear placement skills. Not sure if these things are related, however, the death is to be investigated by a coroner and so perhaps these matters will be assessed in some detail. Wouldn't be too surprised if this leads to some form of enquiry into climbing safety standards.
