Dropped gear 24-Apr-2017 At 7:27:28 PM patto

Climbing equipment made from strong, tough, non brittle materials. Why does the myth of dropped gear being dangerous persist?

Sure high localised stress can occur from dropping a carabiner. But that is no different from hundreds of other ways that high localised stresses put on carabiners. The fact that your gear gets scratch in normal use also shows high localised stress. Not to mention notching from falling on hanger bolts.
