I don't know what's scarier....the fact that this happened, or the underlying tone of this thread that such mistakes are inevitable.
These types of mistakes DO NOT happen to competent climbers, sorry. We all make mistakes, but not like this. A total disregard for safety. There are MULTIPLE errors here. Not looking down to see where the ends of your rope are(!), not tying a knot in the ends, AND no rappel backup? If I were you, I'd think long and hard about some of your habits, while you still can.
This might be somewhat understandable if you were rapping off a 12 pitch climb in a thunderstorm, but a 30 foot crag? Geez.
