You can build a sliding X with more than 2 placements (and have it equalize on all of them). I try to have a minimum of 3 placements for every trad belay.

This is a belay I built on the bard using 3 pieces in a sliding X, there is a limiting knot on the piece I thought most likely to fail. This is not the best example, but the only one I could find in a short time.


In regards to shock loading, you usually don't have to worry about this too much because your system has a massive energy absorber build into it (your rope) which will absorb most of the impact if 1 of your pieces fails. And, as mentioned above, seconder falls are never as strong a force as a lead fall anyway.
