Very sorry to hear about your accident and hope you recover quickly, in all ways.
From an A&I forum perspective, I think this shows that even climbers with 1.5-2 years of experience, including outside the gym and leading, can fail at belaying.
ALso, I have no idea what the "parallel" belaying technique is, but the one used in this case -- of constantly swiching hands on the brake strand -- always makes me nervous dsspite its popularity among some climbing communities.
Itseems to invite a mishap by not training motor memory to always have the brake hand on the brake rope .
(fixied embarassing typo, thanks csproul)
