Walls there are 18m, so if he was clipped in at the second to last draw fall was likely from 15m or there abouts.
I wasn't there but was told that that the rope was running freely through the belay device, making a 'gut churning zzzzzzz sound'. . Would be great if the gym could cast some light on what happened so we can all learn from the mistakes of others. Unfortunately, it's my experience that gyms tend to cover this kind of thing up rather than discussing it.
