This Failure Mode is not uncommon when it comes to cams, just remember all gear is only as good as the placement allows. See my account (once the photo is approved) for a photo of a Wild Country cam that failed due to improper placement.

OK, I just googled CCH and saw this thread. So, I read a few pages of it. If that guy is a troll he should be shot!!!!! With that said:
I never knew there was so many people who dont like Aliens??? If you don't want your aliens, Sell them to me!!!! my E-mail is whitechristopher@yahoo.com. And for the people who don't like Zeros and wanna give the 2 larger ones away. Sell them to ME!!!! I still need 3 blue aliens, 2 yellow aliens, 1 green aliens, 1 red alien, and 3 orange aliens. CCH, Black Diamond, and Wild Country all make good cams. I don't like the Metiolus cams because once one of the cable bends the cam sucks. Or any double cable stem cams. And If you have any NEW Camalots from size red to blue I will take them. Camalots 5 and 6 are not as stable in large cracks as the Tech Friends of the same size, so if you have friends of that size i will take those.
So, what happen to this tread anyways? Did the guy finally show the picture???

Oh yeah, One more thing. I will state the obvious for experience lead climbers. It does not matter how far you fall on the piece. All that matters for the most part is the fall factor with a few other things that are not constant. And we all know that you suppose to never trust your life to one piece of climbing gear.

Good luck getting a refund from CCH for the cams. They would loose the paper work under the crying babies in their one bed room apartment.
Sorry, they might have a great product, but their supplier/retailer relationships are terrible. Hard to deal with.

In reply to: I would assume the problem is with how the gear was placed - not with the piece itself.
Wouldn't you also say that the gear should pull instead of breaking apart ?
In the past I had only 2 hexes pull on me, but they didn't fell apart.
That's why I'm quite surprised to read this post.
Is it different for cams ? ( Forces, staff like that ) Just wondering.
