RuMR Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 FROM SUPERTOPO: It may be a brand new Alien which fell apart, a post recall, not a problem batch, but who can say just yet. Dude (posting as pinsandbones shows up mid-discussion on the accident and injuries thread and says: "There was indeed a BROKEN Alien involved in the Easter weekend accident on Souder's Crack. I would have posted earlier, but just recently received surgery to pin my wrist back together. Aside from being laid up for six months, I am very fortunate to have come away from the fall with only the injuries I have sustained. Many thanks go out to all that have helped me with this ordeal. As for the cam, it broke off right at the end if the stem, leaving the head and trigger assembly still set in the rock. It appears to me that the malfunction was due to a manuf. defect. This is being discussed with CCH. I would strongly advise all who are climbing on post recall aliens to be very careful". That's "post recall aliens".

ken4ord Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Again with these "accidents" and the recalls I cannot imagine clipping into one, even as pyschological pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMR Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 might as well mix velcro slings in there as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
