Gary_Yngve Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 A friend of mine's wife was at a corporate picnic for a certain large software corporation and decided to have her first climbing experience be one of the inflated climbing wall they had there. Well, she had no problem climbing up. Then the "belayer" (some 15-year-old minimum-wage punk) told her to lean back to get lowered. The dumbfuck was "belaying" by holding the rope directly, with maybe 50% friction from the TR setup. So he gets rope burns on his hands and LETS GO of the rope, dropping her about ten feet (though onto soft inflated stuff). But the other half of the rope gave her nasty rope burns across her back (they had some weird rigging with a pulley at the base as well). So the jackass wasn't even using a hip-belay. And he let go of the rope. And to make matters worse, he blamed everything on her. No surprise she never wants to try climbing ever again. I tried to explain to her that nothing was her fault and that the asshole deserves to be sodomized with horsecock, but you cannot argue with the pain from bad rope burn... Next time I see one of those inflatable wall setups and I see that their setup is unsafe and they have an incompetent belayer, I'm going to dry tool it... Quote

gapertimmy Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 maybe the .NET strategy will include a pocketPC application to show belay wankers how to setup a TR. I'll email billg and steveb to give them the idea Quote
iain Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 putting those gapers in charge is a guarantee for groundfalls. it would crash before it showed how to thread the grigri and swipe your credit card number to boot. Quote
