The gate may have been slightly open while the spine was loaded on an edge during a fall or similar?

The gate was closed, but the hinge pin on the gate failed so that the spine suffered what was essentially a gate-open condition.

On the two biners I have handy it appears that the hinge pin rotates with the gate so that it's a little loose in the biner body. So, although this hinge pin looks short, it may just be hanging down into the hole from one end. So I suspect that the pin was okay but for some reason the legs that the hinge pin goes through broke, hence the missing gate. However, due to the broken spine I'm guessing the spine broke first or they broke simultaneously because I don't see how the broken gate could lead to a broken spine.
I suspect it was dropped and suffered macro fractures.

Don't expect much, he's an unemployed canadian.
So, let me guess, the broken biner is a result of you shooting it with a canon some fool allowed you to use unsupervised????
Pay up bitch...
You have to keep a careful eye on these canadians, they get real sketchy when bored.
By the way, that better not be one of mine or tuckers. We take a dim view of destructive canadians.

One guess eh hoser?
My guess is a two parter:
The first part is that your prize is very, very lame. Probably the second half of your biner, or a ball of lint, or perhaps a shitty canadian beer.
The second part of my guess is that you tried to pull a friend's car out of a ditch using old rope, and just one aluminum climbing carabiner, instead of two steel lockers. Just like any other dumbass would.
If you start talking about Labatts blue, and defend it as a good beer, shut the hell up right now, because you don't know what you're talking about.

This is not a guess, it is a request for clarification.
Has this been cleaned up (i.e. other material / parts removed) for the photo? Or, is this exactly how it was found (allowing for repositioning for photography)?

OK, from what I can see there:
1) Its spent some time outside, getting scraped up some cliff faces, judging from the lack of shine.
2) It had to have sheared, because there is no contortion around the break from a torquing or bending motion.
3) It was a traumatic break (as opposed to a saw, or encounter with Wolverine as mentioned before), because the break isn't clean.
My guess is that something fell on it, like a large rock.

I've got a gas grill so I crammed a propane tank up my ass and flexed. I didn't get diamonds but making the local news was pretty cool.

I'd say you were trying to lift an air compressor into the attic in your garage. You had a winch set up but nothing to attach the winches line to the air compressor with. You then realized that the compressor only weighs like 500 lbs and that your rock climbing gear should suffice. All went well till you got it to the top and jammed the biener into the winch, snapped the biener, then watched your precious new compressor fall the 10 ft to your garage floor shattering into a million little pieces. Then you cried.

Some..... ummm............ great guesses.
To answer a few questions:
Yes, I saw it happen.
Dingus it's a fake granite counter-top.
I have no garage or air-compressor.
The biner has not been cleaned, or stripped of any parts.
And last of all, it was not part of any "TOWER OF POWER" accident.

Well, the gate is missing from the hinge side, so it was not a gate open accident.
There doesn't seem to be any straightening out of the curves, nor marking of them, so an elongation failure doesn't seem likely.
I vote for a crossloading perpendicular to the plane of the biner. As if it were caught in a crack & loaded crosswise. From the force I suspect would be necessary, I vote for a lead fall.

I am in Brevard NC right now and I can unequivically say that looks like Looking Glass. (unfortunately not climbing. Wife is preggers.)
how that is relevant, I dont know
My guess is that it was intentionally cut to rescue a screaming girl dangling from a rope holding three other people, all of which peeled from an overhang. Absolutely unnecessary and the MAJOR reason I dont allow anyone I climb with to carry bolt cutters.

You uploaded a picture to photobucket.com and then created your post here, linking to the picture on photobucket.com.
And that's how that picture appearing in this thread happened.

Wait, does this involve a Tyrolean Traverse with a rookie climber and a failed rescue?

I had seen a post that got locked about some third hand rumors it was a belt failure. I thought that it turned out to be the biner and this thread was a "fun way" to re-do the I&A analysis.

Lets not joke in the rock climbing class I helped teach there was a girl about that size I got to belay every day. My 160 lbs to her 439831894398 lbs. Every day I prayed that the harness makers thought about EVERYONE when they made the harnesses and not just normal sized people.

This thread sucks. We're given one crappy picture that doesn't even have the fracture surface in focus, then we wait and wait and wait with no additional information given. No one cares about the prize, we just want to know how it broke.

I think this thread may have drifted past the point of no return, but I'm going to toss out my guess anyway.
I think that this 'biner broke while being used to work on a car. Specifically I think it was being used to hoist an engine. No, scratch that. I wasn't thinking about the fact that he's Canadian. I think he was using it to hoist a mounted Mountie.

No your wrong, if he hoisted a a Mountie he would have been Taser'ed until death and unable to post his post. The Mounties taser everyone until it kills, lol.

And I used to think it was bad that where I'm from they taser non-violent, compliant, unarmed, handcuffed, face-down political protesters while kneeling on their back... but they only Taser them a half dozen times or so.

Since this is dead I'll bug on adatesman. After the quote.
adatesman wrote: Aw heck, guess I'll play since its dragged on this long. What I see is an old solid gate D biner that had a 22.56kN rating, which failed when the hinge pin for the gate sheared while the biner was under heavy load. Definitely closed gate failure as there's no outward bending at the flat angled spot on the outside of the spine (red arrow) and the hinge pin let go first (raised material around its hole, redGREEN arrow). I'd also guess that the biner was loaded in two directions at the upper part, as would happen when lifting something with a basket sling. This would put more of the force along the gate and explain why the hinge pin broke. Anyone even close yet? EDIT- fixed the red/green arrow mixup.
Does Al neck down in a tension test? I know steel does and am assuming that AL does too, but can't remember and am too lazy to look it up. Also wondering if the gate broke does the spine notice an impact type of load and cause a clean break. Basically why is there no necking if it is a tension failure. Have you run any of these types of test or do they match what you've seen?
Then look at the rivet of the gate. it is cupped all the way around like if it pulled out. If it sheared I'd expect deformation on only the shearing side. Plus the hole looks round not oblong. If it was oblong I could see that it deformed under tension loading enough to allow it to pop out the rest of the way.
Next notice the two indentations on the biner one on the nose where it necks down from round to flat (up and to the right of the green arrow) and the other on the spine directly across from it. These could be nothing or they could indicate a reaction point in a 3 point bending setup. With the load applied at the break on the side touching the granite.
But the fracture itself looks to me like "bending fatigue fracture" (GIS that) where the tension side is flat until it hits a plastic rupture and forms more of a cup and cone type shape.

I am sticking by my theory that the biner was loaded sideways, with the missing (from the photograph) portion inserted into some sort of crevice and then the top (as seen in photo) portion was subjected to a load perpendicular to the major plane of the biner.
To guess as to specific crevices is not only pointless, but may result in an erection lasting more than 4 hours. Please consult your physician.
Grover, am I on the right track?

Okay, a few hints for all of you eager to solve.
It happened very fast.
It was very loud.
There was beer involved.
Next hint at midnight (PST) tonight.

unopened can of beer + Carabiner + open fire (heat, campfire, etc) + explosion of can + weakened biner due to heat exposure = 'biner in its current state?

I think there's already a thread about the power of the vote versus reality in the soapbox.

i've drank lots of beer and shot stuff in my life, but damn, that's a great shot. how many tries did it take you? were you blasting it off of someone's harness?
as for the shwag, any chance you're going to skaha this weekend? i'm leaving in a few hours from the 'couve.
otherwise, donate the shwag to the kids in africa who are starving for climbs. although a magazine from the year i was born does sound pretty cool...

Blew the gate off with a .22 in Josh.
Then finished the job in Bishop.
Hit it first shot, then spent 15 minutes looking for it.
It was only slightly bent, then 3 more till I snapped it, and never found the other half.
No Skaha for moi, but I'll mail you the mag.

I wonder if the spelling police are allowed to arrest people for breaking actual laws too, like firing (or just having) a gun in a national park.

JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE. I GAVE YOU THE ANSWER ON THE FIRST PAGE.
He did it at my house. Hence why I commented that the biner better not be one of Tucker's or mine!!!
All's I'll say is that it happened very close to the park on private property.
Good one mark.
Fucking canadian. Now send the poor guy his pumice butt plug autographed by you and let's move onto something else....

Another lame waste of good ammo violation. More interesting and better story would be if you all had been using it again for the drunken horse f*king harness attachment except on a mule this time and the mule had rejected your advances all rude like......jus' sayin' is all.....

7 pages of boredom and you finish it off by blasting some for questioning whether you shot your load in J-tree.
Your an ASS and a disgrace to Canadians everywhere.
