That must be the problem Smile the customer expected brake

The fundamental disconnect here - will maybe not with this particular case as the cause and prevention seem pretty obvious - is the insistence that every accident has to have a "fault". Sometimes stuff happens.

The concept that the climber is always ultimately responsible is ludicrous. So I am at fault is some tourist above me clocked me with a rock and turned by brain to mush despite the fact that at the point that he threw the rock from their were warning signs in 3 languages? All you tough guys better stick to your guns and agree that - yup its my fault for choosing to climb. And stick to them again when the young mother and her infant get squashed on their front lawn by the engine falling off the plane - because after all she chose to come out of her house.

IMO, not comparable situations. If someone shoots me while I'm climbing, my own actions had nothing to do with my death. While climbing, I am responsible for my own actions, just as others around me are responsible for theirs. Simple as that.

BTW you giving someone a hard time for their spelling in a post as riddled as yours is with typos and misspelling is pretty funny.
