kierani, can you clarify for me how, for instance, a GriGri (assuming correct use/technique) might have made the belayers situation worse? I'm in no way trying to be argumentative, just that being relatively new to leading trad, I have to admit, I had a similar thought.

I fully get this point. It should have been the primary control. Funnily enough, I had a discussion relating to this accident with my 12yo and 15yo on the drive home from a climb at The Rock today. We were discussing the risk of falling on "easy ground" while unprotected, and came to that same conclusion.
