[quote "sbaclimber"][quote]It's up to you. I'm content to think tradrenn is out of his mind. As far as I can tell, he seems to be implying that if the belayer were falling onto his face, he'd have time to yard out an armful of slack before breaking his nose on the on the talus.

That's pretty much exactly what I was thinking, along with:
"how stupid/clumsy would a belayer have to be to fall over while belaying? :? "
and
"if said belayer [u]was[/u] that stupid/clumsy, would they even be capable of pulling out slack while falling?"

.....some deep philosophical questions to think about right there....kind of along the lines of "if a tree fell....."[/quote]

[laugh] [laugh] [laugh] now that's some funny shit right there.
