Yet again today I saw someone climb without double backing their harness. I saw it last week too, and last month, and the month before, and the previous 50 months before that. Not a month goes by that I don't see some new climber fail to double back their harness. Yet despite this potentially lethal mistake, I haven't actually seen any incidents occur.
So this got me wondering, how many accidents have occurred from climbers failing to double back their harness? Have you ever seen someone completely fall out of their harness on a fall because the leg and waist loops pulled through the buckle?
