Alice Springs abseiling fatality - Sat 13th Nov

Early reports suggest that the abseiler ended up upside-down and falling out of their harness. (I assume this could only occur if the waist belt was loose enough to go over hips - or not done up at all)

Condolences to family and friends of those involved.
