I think the major fault here is your attitude to the complexities of trad climbing.
As just about everyone else here has stated, there are infinite variables.
If you approach trad climbing with the intention of falling regularly please post your picture up here so as we all know not to climb with or near you.

Some of these comments are from people who have participated in several rescues, often from people who have been blase about gear, trad and falling in general.
A Number 6 Camalot is not enough to climb with someone of your recklessness.
