Thanks Jay. Much clearer after watching it. For some reason, that setup just looks dicey to me, even though I can't explain it in words -- if I saw someone doing it, I'd ask questions. But maybe that's just prejudice from reading the accident report.
Did anyone notice several posts from 2009 below the video that, among other things, point out that a reviewer tried it and DROPPED A CLIMBER?
Hopefully that is some comfort to both of the injured parties in this accident.
