Belay device (for climbing)

What is the danger

The belay device can lock without control and climbers can get blocked. This can lead to de-stabilisation and fall of the climber and the belayer could not be able to progressively brake. At the same time, the rope supplement not recovered through the belay device can increase the fall distance of the climber.

Requirements breached

In such case, the entire belaying chain can also break due to additional stress or transmit the kinetic energy of a fall abruptly to the falling body, causing serious injury by dislocating or fracturing the bones.
