In reply to: My speculation is that he had the rope strands parallel to feed slack and I fell in that very moment. Once the rope was in motion it was too late.
This is one of the reasons why i hate parallel belaying method more than anything else in climbing cause at that given moment , if you take a fall, the rope will slip thru the belay device and you will end up with rope burn.
Either way, do not blame yourself for this accident. A leader does not have to yell while falling. its always the delayer's responsibility to be alert with or without verbal communication.
