Just keep in mind that mbs rating are statistically derived from tests between two 12mm pins.
Any time you load anything with a different profile, the test results will be different.
Yes, derate for wide loads. How much depends on the angle.
Also, at least petzl and DMM now include pictures in their instructions of angled loadings.
Did I miss something in this thread where the discussion moved from tri axial to co axial? They are quite different situations.
