the o.p. was slightly in jest (tho the question was genuine). have found myself on the deck a few more than a couple of times with her belaying. not trad, sport. the best was at the end of the day at rosies 2 years back when in an advanced state of pump i fell of an astonishgly large jug in the middle of megamac after skipping a bolt that many do, and ended up running along the ground past her.. she did everything right, and always does, it is just becasue she is really damn light that in some situations it can end up as meters more that usual. i reckon the cms gained out of an automated devise makes it workable in some situations.. there are some routes that i just dont climb with her belaying cause it dont think it will work.

It just doesn't seem to happen to anyone I climb with.

then tell em they are standing too close to the cliff and there is not enough slack out...
