#1 hex held a fall on the first climb I ever led and kept me from splattin' on the ground. Held my gf (now wife) after she did the same. She didn't have my faith and scraped down the wall rather than leaping like I did when I knew the fall was imminent.

It's kind of disturbing that you guys place the smallest BD stoppers (#1,2) on lead considering that they pretty much tell you that they simply can't hold a fall.

 

Dude I have had #1 nuts hold fall. Just gotta know what is a good placement and what is not worth a shit. Though falling on the tinys is not something I strive to do often. cantfocus.gif

 

Also never have fallen on a knotted sling, but have done plenty of rappels from them.
