So....just as I suspected, all this talk of Grigris causing gear to rip is theoretical BS, and no one has a real world example. As far as dropping people, let's hope by the time we learn to trad climb that we have partners/belayers that aren't gumby enough to drop us with a Grigri. However, no amount of belaying competency means anything if the belayer takes a rock to the head, or you factor 2 and ropeburn their hands.....in which case I like my odds with the Grigri far better.
