Ground fall while aiding at Mt Buffalo on weekend	22-Mar-2010 At 3:27:00 PM	cruze

Out of curiosity, what belay device was your belayer using? The only aiding I have ever seen is in videos where the belayer is lounged out using a grigri... which always surprised me considering the differences in impact force compared to an ATC type devcie. On the other hand, I gather belaying an aider can be a tad mindnumbing so a self-locking device might be an appropriate compromise... Can someone with aiding experience please let me know whether/how the belay device makes any difference?
