A climber did not hang this banner back, maybe the gym was busy and there was someone ready to climb right away, and couple steps down, the next climber, used to the visual clue, forgot to clip into autobelay...
I don't understand. If the climber did not clip the carabiner back into the top of that gate, wouldn't the autobelay retract and pull it up to the ceiling? It looked to me that the bottom two legs of the "gate" were attached to the floor (or lower wall) and the apex of the "gate" is what was used to hold down the autobelay carabiner.
