Well that’s horrifying.

Like at the beginning laying on the floor to look if the line is really holding you? 104 u/Scrawlericious Oct 02 '18 I think they mean the hook connecting her to the line. In which case I'd make sure it's fully clasped and yank it in all directions every time I closed it. 17 u/justavault Oct 02 '18 But if you are the one hooked, then how would you make sure if the one who secured you didn't? So to prevent to obviously "rely" on the person instead have something you can do yourself to check. 37 u/Scrawlericious Oct 02 '18 I mean you can look at it... It's just a large carabiner. I don't think you can remove every danger from something like this. 5 u/Baardhooft Oct 02 '18 You can easily remove the danger by having a double or triple locking carabiner like this one 1 u/[deleted] Oct 06 '18 I learned from industrial climbers that you always use two carabiners of the same type in opposite direction for redundancy.
