ditto ...

how can you trust someone to belay you and not to lower you?

its a pretty binary decision (uh oh) ... either you trust your belayer or you dont ...

and if you do and there is a boo boo ... you made the wrong decision

hopefully its corrected without you being hurt and he/she learns from it ...

i always weight my myself on a sling/PAS primarily because its always possible that ive made a mistake setting up or misheard something due to the wind ... i would do that even on rappel when its "all in my hands" and not my belayers
