I'm terribly sorry for your friend. I hope his condition improves.
Also, that is an excellent accident report, I wish more could be of that standard. Thanks.
One thing though, abseil backups will not normally prevent one from rapping off the ends, knots obviously do but the best thing is to visually observe the rope below you while you rap.
Edit:
Oh, and wait for the comments from others that you should lower and not rap.
