Read my first post, i never said anything of the sort. It was the likes of you who turned it into something it did not need to be. Should you be kill filed for assuming all beginners are robotic sheep programed to follow me in jumping off a cliff?. Hell i would love to think i was influential enough to over rule thousands of years of primal instinct.

I had considered that but no. I have a basic loop knot in 1 end, i clip this and clip it to my harness (saves tie and untie time). The meter length then runs down to the floor. Climb the wall, get to first clip.. pull the rope up and clip it in just like in a normal lead. I get near 2nd clip, pull rope.. it slides up through and out 1st clip. Clip second clip and continue.
The danger to me was different, i would rather fall 25 foot, really it is 20 foot from foot height not hand height. To fall possibly fall 1M or so onto a short dynamic rope (might as well be static at this point) that was clipped into a bolt like you described.. the likely hood of a back brake or lash seems far greater danger than landing on my feet from 20 foot. It is endurance, i pick routes that will not put me in a severe horizontal position.. if slipping here i may not right myself before hitting the floor.
Yes obviously when those people are talking about thousand foot falls, it is a different ball game.. it is risking a possible back injury over risking death. So clipping to a bolt is logical.
