Breaking a biner |

This is a question for all u scientist and engineers out there.
On sat I clipped a ringbolt that caused the biner to press against the rock as there was a bulge at that point. I was concerned as I thought this might cause the gate to lever open and the snap the biner in the event of a fall. So I swapped the draw with a small scrwegate, which I flipped upside down - this caused the spine to press against the rock.
Question: does maintaining the close loop with a screwgate change the strength at which the spine might break? |
