Exploding Biner Bros!

This story should make any reasonable climber want to puke.

:shock: Link to craziness :shock:

Ok. Now politely swallow it back down before anyone notices. 3 consecutive unclipping and exploding biners? A 60 foot factor 2 fall caught directly on a waist? Worst case scenario. Barf.

All I can take from this is 3 simple lessons:
1) Have more than 1 bomber piece keeping you off the deck. Unpredictable nonsense happens.
2) Make your anchors SRENE. Unpredictable nonsense happens.
3) Keep that draw you clipped directly to the high anchor piece on a little while longer. Yeah. Nonsense.

Aid climbing is super fun eh!
